✪ Tricky! Soraoto takes lead! ✪ [Video/Text]

[Suddenly there is a cheerful Cube on screen. He seems a bit more animated today when he speaks, and in a much perkier mood than he has recently.]

Hello, everyone!
It wasn't easy but I've finally prepared a space to start removing chips again!

Things will be a little different this time but for better! For right now, anyone wishing for their chip removed can do so without having to fill out any forms. It's great, don't you agree? I will ask that in place of the forms, that you bring something to trade, instead. It can be anything but I do prefer something gold, specially coins. If you don't have any gold, we can work something else out, okay?

And will my assistants please come see me? I have something for you! I'll be waiting around the hospital.

[Everything is repeated in text.]

((ooc: FYI Cube is being possessed by Soraoto, the demon who he summons from time to time. So, filling out Cube's chip form (or paying Soraoto) will do nothing right now (except maybe have Soraoto pull pranks on your character.) Cube will get back to chip removal requests when he actually regains control, in about a week. For questions or plotting, please contact me!
Action is welcome!))

[Oh, it's Cube! He seems like he's in a cheerful mood today!

While it's good to know that he can remove chips again, not filling out forms seems odd. Aren't they important? It does mean less filing to do, but still...And what's with the need for gold? Did Cube like gold?

No matter. Gakupo takes his communicator and leaves a note for Luka and Matthew that he'll be in the hospital helping Cube, and heads out. He had to run from a raptor, but luckily he can run faster than humans. It would do little good to be raptor food!

He reaches the hospital eventually, looking around the outside first to see if Cube is hanging about. Maybe he's at their last meeting place?]

[~~Cube~~ Soraoto is sitting on top of the hospital roof, wings out and legs kicking over the side. When he sees Gakupo, he happily waves.]

Good morning!

[Gakupo looks up, blinking. That's new.]

Cube-san! Good morning! What are you doing way up there?

You seem happier, Cube. Did something good happen?

[That surprised the demon. From wher ehe sat, Gakupo looked like a maiden. he continues to smile and shrugs at the other's question.]

I thought I'd get some fresh air.

[However, he spreads his wings and floats down to join Gakupo, thinking he has heard of this man's voice before. Is this Cube's assistant?]

How do you feel today? Are you ready to get started?

Oh, yes. Very much has happened. Many good things, at that! So many familiar faces have come back and on top of that, I'm getting a lot of work done!

I guess you can say, I haven't felt better!

[He is sitting on the rooftop of the hospital, kicking his feat, even has his wings exposed. That's all probably due to it not being Cube at all, and actually Soraoto but who's to say?]

It's good to take a break from all the work once in a while. It's refreshing! I felt so cooped up.

All the way up there? [Watches Cube float down with his wings.] I don't remember you having wings before.

[Smiles softly and nods.] All systems are fully functioning, thank you. I'm ready when you are!

You're telling people to pay you for something that's being done to help others?

...I guess this place is slowly working up the rung back into being like the societies we were pulled from.

[Oh, yes. He is bitter. Grumble.]

What, in terms of "else," would you accept? I have a cougar pelt, but I'm working it into a blanket for a friend and I'd rather not give it up.

[He looks back at his wings. Cube always seemed to hide those,didn't he? Soraoto tries his best to act shy.]

W-Well, I hide them a lot since people get all suspicious about me if I keep them out, but from time to time it's nice to stretch.

[All fully functioning? This must be another robot! Soraoto's eyes light up with an idea. He giggles.]

Okay but first, you need to close your eyes a moment. I have a surprise for you, okay?

Ah, I see! They...suit you. [Very unsure about them, but they did!

Blinks at the request.] Close my eyes? Um...well, alright. [He does so, not really questioning Cube. He is his friend, after all.]

[He shrugs, not very interested in a pelt. He's seen such things come and go, magic and non magic and he really has no use for one in his black void.]

Unfortunately, I don't think a pelt will do much in my current situation. I've dug quite a hole for myself by being helpful in the past, and so now I'm in debt and need to some up with a payment of sorts.

Are you saying someone else is offering the same service for free?

Thank you. I should keep them out more often, then.

[Honestly, what was the point in hiding his demon heritage? Soraoto could care leff for Cube's reasoning and instead, focuses on Gakupo, grinning after the man closes his eyes. So gullible. So trusting.

With a snap of his fingers, Gakupo's clothing changes into a french maid's outfit in the blink of an eye. Another snap, the outfit his complete, with a nice hat. Soraoto studies the other before him a moment.]

Hmm... perhaps.... if your hair was down...

[There is an odd sensation after Cube snapped his fingers. Gakupo twitches an eyebrow before hearing another snap and a comment. He blinks his eyes open and squeaks at the change in outfit.]

H-HEY! What...what are you doing?! [It's so frilly! Why would Cube do this?! Gakupo looks back to Cube with a frown.] This is not a good surprise, Cube! Change back my clothing!

[The demon does nothing but laugh.]

Your face-!

[He can't help but laugh some more. Finally! it looks like he found someone to amuse himself with for a short while.]

But it looks so good on you!

[Soraoto thinks a moment.]

But I guess it isn't appropriate for work.

[He snaps his fingers, and the outfit is replaced with... that of a nurse.]

Oops!

[Another snap and the hat changes to, to match the nurse outfit.]

Ah, much better!

[This felt like some surreal PV where no one told him of the concept until putting him in front of a camera! How awful.]

This is not what I meant! Return my clothing. [Gakupo is starting to get angry.]

[He grits his teeth.]

I'm saying you should be. How dare you take advantage of something like this as a business venture when innocent people need help.

Now, now. That wouldn't be any fun, now would it?

[Soraoto snaps his fingers again but this time, a small black void open sup beside him and he reaches into it, pulling out the devil flute. He flaps his wings, taking flight again before placing t to his lips.]

Now, it's time to dance!

[The demon begins playing the flute, but the song is different. It may not work the same as before but instead, may cause different emotions/reactions.]

But that'd be an opportunity lost!

If you're really all that upset over it, we can still work something out.

Are you near by?

Forget it.

I'm not going to be your opportunity.

If that's how you feel, I guess it can't be helped.

Have a good day!

[In the end, Soraoto isn't losing anything and on top of it, he is making Cube suffer in the long run. So, even if he isn't getting my business, he is still gaining something]

[He doesn't like this one bit. Gakupo's processors that filter logic are telling him to GET AWAY FROM HIM. His other processors, that give out more humanistic emotions, tells him to snap Cube out of it.

Guess which one Gakupo adheres to most?

Gakupo looks at the portal in surprise, seeing that flute again.]

This isn't a good time for music-- [The tune is certainly different, and it starts to affect his system like a virus. Gakupo grunts in pain, his voice sounding metallic as the flute began to war with his processors.

Anger. Pain. Happiness. Sadness. Fear...that last one settles in more once Gakupo senses that he's losing control of himself.

In a nurse's outfit, no less.]

Cu^BE...s_top...

[It might mean more if someone was calling out for Soraoto, but seeing as he is in Cube's body, acting poorly as Cube, Soraoto continues a bit, to see what the robot may do as he continues to play. Some of his notes fail as he laughs a bit while playing.]

That's great news to hear Cube! I'll make sure to do that right away.

I was wondering when you'd start doing it again.

[Suddenly his movements stop and his arms go limp. Gakupo is still standing, but unresponsive. And then suddenly...]

Meoooooow~!

[Congrats, his poor flute playing has created a Nyakupo.]

Are you serious? You're charging for crap like that?
