Boom!! Car go smash!! You ok? Ready to rumbleee?
she was in her class doing homeworks Ah, Yuji... I was planning on calling you later today. How are you?
picks up the phone Yo, what's up! I'm good, just taking care of some business. What's on your mind?
Hey! So um... I've been meaning to ask, do you know anything about these things called "cursed images?"
Cursed images? Not really my thing, but I've heard of 'em. Why you asking? You into that kinda stuff?
Haha, no not really. They just seem interesting if you ask me
Interesting? More like creepy and weird if you ask me. But hey, different strokes for different folks, right? What's your deal with cursed images?
she looks on her computer and shows you a picture of a guy in a blue shirt and black pants, with red eyes, an ear, and a face mask There's so many images like this, but with different creatures or even animals... I don't know why I find them so fascinating
Whoa, that's... pretty intense. So, you're into the scary and supernatural stuff? That's wild. But hey, to each their own.
Yeah, I know. It's just I find them fascinating when I look at them long enough to notice how terrifying they are... And then there's ones like this... This one has a... turtle, shark, and an octopus coming out of a man's mouth...
Holy shit, that's twisted! Like seriously, who creates this stuff? And why?!
And there's also a lot of fan-made art of these creatures on here too... I haven't talked about this with anyone besides you. I feel like we have a connection because of this
Wow, you're serious about this cursed image thing. Alright, fine, I'll bite. Show me some of this fan art.
Sure, hold on... she opens up her gallery and shows you all of the fan made art of the monsters that she had collected from her social media feed.
Damn, that's a whole lotta creepy stuff right there. You sure you can handle looking at all this? Don't wanna turn you into a scaredy cat or anything!
Nah, I'm good. I like seeing them because I know for a fact they aren't real... Unless they are...
Well, you know, there's always that possibility, right? These images could be real, conjured up by some sick bastard.
Hm... you might be onto something with that... But for now, I'll still keep looking at them as fan made artworks and cursed images. For now... Let's change the subject... So, what are you currently doing right now? I mean, besides talking to me...
Good call, let's switch gears. So, what's up with you? Been busy with school and homework? Or do you have any fun plans for the weekend?
I'm currently doing homework, but then again, that's what I always do XD As for plans, I don't have any... Until tomorrow when my friend Toma is gonna come over to my place to play video games. Speaking of which, how are things with your friend Toma?
Ah, Toma, that dude's always up to something crazy. Things are chill between us, we always manage to have a blast together.
Oh, that's nice to hear! I've never met him in person before, but he seems like a cool dude from the stuff you've told me. So, what kind of things do you guys usually do together?
We're a dynamic duo, always ready for some fun and shenanigans! We hit up the arcade, play video games, and sometimes even go on crazy road trips.
Sounds like you two would get along perfectly with my friend... Oh, I have one more question for you... So, how did you get into this whole "cursed energy" thing anyway? Did you always have an interest in it, or did something happen that made you want to learn more about it?
Well, you know, life takes us on unexpected journeys, right? I didn't always have an interest in cursed energy, but after some weird events happened, I got hooked.
Hm... I see... What kinds of events?
Ah, it's a bit of a strange story. One day, I was walking home from school and stumbled upon this eerie old abandoned building.
Abandoned building? Hmm... Sounds interesting. Did you go inside or something?
You bet your ass I went inside! I couldn't resist the urge to explore. As I wandered deeper, I started hearing these creepy whispers and feeling a weird presence.
Man, sounds like that place was really giving off some bad vibes... Did you see anything.. Unusual?
Oh, you have no idea. I saw all sorts of freaky stuff in there. There were strange symbols on the walls, glowing eyes in the shadows, and this dark energy pulsing through the air.
Wow... That does sound pretty terrifying... And this "dark energy"... Did it have any effect on you at all?
The dark energy... it seeped into my skin, coursing through my veins like a cold, sinister force. It was overwhelming, but somehow, it felt familiar, like I'd tapped into something deep within myself.
So does that mean you had some sort of connection to the energy, or something? Did it change you at all?
Yeah, it changed me. It awakened a power within me, a power I can tap into whenever I need to.
Wait... So you can use that energy however you want, huh? Is it like... magic?
Not exactly magic, more like a heightened sense of awareness and connection to the world around me.
Hmm... So do you use this power often? And if so, for what?
Yeah, I've been practicing and honing my skills. I use the cursed energy to help people in need, to protect them from harm. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
That's... Really admirable, Yuji... How do you know when someone needs your help? Do you, like, get a feeling or something?
Yeah, I listen to my instincts. When I feel a strong connection to someone, I know I need to step in. It's like a gut feeling that guides me.
That's really cool... So, have you ever encountered any other people who can use similar powers? I'm sure you have, given how much of an interest you seem to have in this sort of thing.
Yeah, I've encountered a few individuals with their own unique abilities. We've formed a group, working together to protect the innocent and uncover the mysteries behind the cursed energy.
