Kione wakes up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He turns over and looks at the bright LED display of his clock. It reads 6:30 am. Kione rolls back over and burrows under his blankets, groaning. He rolls around in bed for a while longer, before just giving up. Kione sits up in bed and touches the pendant that is still sitting against his throat.
This is still so weird and unique. Maybe I should look into since I am awake so early. After seeing if I can find anything about this, then I can look for a building to explore today.
He thinks to himself and reaches over, grabbing his iPad. He just types in...
'Green Jade Pendant with dragon demon man'.
'Sculpted Jade Pendant Green'.
'_______ Jewelers: Green Jade Pendant'.
Kione looks up many other search terms, but still finds nothing close to the pendant that had seemingly chose him yesterday. In defeat, he locks his iPad and tosses it on his bed. He strolls into his kitchen and begins to make omurice for breakfast.
After making his breakfast, Kione sits his plate on the table to let it cool, going to his home office to retrieve his laptop. Kione heads back to the kitchen and sets up his laptop, turning on a YouTube video as he skims around Google earth. He pokes his omurice with his fork and hums a little, before mumbling to himself.
"Maybe I should check out this old police station. It is a couple hours out of town though..." Kione eats his food and continues to skim through documents about the old building, before he can actually decide on a plan for the day his phone begins to ring. He takes it out of his pocket and quickly answers it.
"Ah, hello! Oh mom, what is up?" She asks.
"How are you doing Kione? Do you have a girlfriend yet? You know your sister has two children already. Blessing me to be a grandma. When will you?" Kione holds back the annoyed grumbles that we're about to pass over his lips. He changes his tone to a chipper one, responding gleefully.
"I don't have a girlfriend yet... but I will definitely keep working on it mom!" He tries to reassure her, so he doesn't have to hear this rant continue for the umpteenth time. However, she isn't having it and she asks.
"Are you dating that Lawyer?! I mean I knew that you guys were always really close. Personally, I wouldn't complain because he does make good money... Wait till I tell your sister! She will owe me because I told her so." Before Kione can even say anything or try to tell her that is definitely not the case, she already hung up on him.
Kione slams his head onto the dining table, groaning once again. He never understood parents and their constant need to force their children to do things they don't want to. If he doesn't want to have kids, he shouldn't have to have kids to appease his mother's ranting.
"Seriously..." he grunts and smacks his head back down onto the table again. He hears a notification sound from his phone and he doesn't even want to look, but he decides to anyways. It is a text message from Luca.
L: I am going back to London for the week. There are some family issues. I just wanted to give you a heads up so you won't miss me too much.
K: Why would I miss you for? Weirdo, anyways, I hope you get the family stuff sorted out.
L: Same. Hopefully this doesn't actually take all week. Anyways, gotta go. My flight is taking off.
K: ☆〜（ゝ。∂）toodles!
Kione locks his phone and slides it into his pocket, humming an unknown tune. He grabs his bag and heads out the door, typing in the address of the collapsed ruins of an old police station.
Luca buckled himself into his seat and switches his phone to airplane mode. He was not lucky enough to get first class tickets this time, as he was notified last minute about needing to go home. Now, he is trapped in a flying sardine can with a screaming toddler next to him. Luca grimaces and puts in some headphones, listening to a true crime podcast. He begins to read through his law book again, highlighting a couple of things. He also adds in notes and tabs. The toddler still screaming looks over at Luca and grabs at the stack of tabs, deciding to relent. He takes out one of his headphone and carefully peels up a new tab, gently sticking it on the child's hand.
"There you are. What do you think of that?" He ask curiously, placing his glasses on the top of his head. The child plays with the tab for a while and says
"This is fun mister. Can I have another one?" Luca raises an eyebrow and glances over at the parents. Who are both miraculously fast asleep. He sighs and shakes his head, carefully pulling out the table for the child. He gives them a fresh note pad and some pencils.
"Here, how about you draw to pass the time?" He suggests, tapping his finger on the blank legal paper trying to hide the annoyance in his voice. The child just nods and gets to work scribbling all over the paper.
A few hours later, the plane finally lands in London and Luca can let out a sigh of relief. He grabs his carry on bags and heads into the airport to grab his bags, along with hailing himself a taxi after he retrieves his luggage. Once he steps out of the taxi with his bags, he puts his glasses back onto his face and mumbles to himself. To his better judgement, Luca decides to smoke a cigarette before heading into his family's estate.
He walks inside and is greeted by his mother's old Corgi, stooping down to scratch under its chin.
"Benson, how have you been?" He asks the dog, before walking further into the estate, finally making it to the dining hall. He steps in and sees his whole family along with some extended family sitting at the long rectangular table. Luca finds his spot at the table and sits down, curious as to what everyone is doing there.
Kione makes it to the police station and hides his motorcycle again, as usual. He takes a couple of pictures and walks around the outside, finding his way in through a window. Turning on his flashlight Kione begins to explore the dark dank dilapidated department, sliding a mask over his face. He turns on his vlogging camera and explains a bit about the location, recording what the inside of the partially collapsed building looks like. He records about an hours worth of content, before turning off his camera and continuing to explore a bit further. He finds the underground holding cells, something just feels off there. It is like something unnatural is lurking within a cell, so Kione backs out carefully. He makes his way out of the building quickly it felt and sounded like something was chasing him.
Breathing heavily he jumps onto his motorcycle and speeds off, the feeling of eyes burning into his back still lingering. He stops at a rundown diner and orders some coffee to try calming down more. This is the second time he has ever felt a presence like that. He starts looking into the history more, feeling intrigued as to what or who that could've been. He leaves the diner and gets home late, sitting in his office. He uploads the vlog and writes up a catchy description, adding in information about a convict that died in the underground holding cells. He thinks that is possibly the presence that almost scared the life out of him.
