On the Edge of the Unknown (Invite)

He would stand quietly at the edge of a large hole, looking down into it with steel grey eyes. There would not be a smile on his face. No trace of joy. Just seriousness as he contemplated his life. Once upon a time, he used to be an idol full of confidence and direction in a world where law and chaos ran next to each other in perfect balance. Then one day that balance was destroyed, his world spun around in a way that he did not expect, and now? Now he was directionless. Fallen from the spot light and out in the world in fashion he never dreamed he could be.

He felt broken, but at the same time free. He didn't have obligations anymore and he could do as he pleased. However, finding out what exactly he wanted was a bit of struggle. He knew he wanted to continue pursuing the art world, but where to go outside of singing he wasn't too sure. To try and help himself grow and change, he had moved from the city of Endymion out to a different place where he hoped to meet new people and start life a new.

A month had passed since he had made this choice and was on his own, but there were still so many things that bothered him and made him wonder what he was supposed to do with the rest of his life; however, there was no answer to this as he continued to search mentally for an answer to his life...and this hole for that matter.

He would stay quietly contemplating his life and the hole when a voice pierced the chaotic mess. Hm? He would blink a bit as he unfolded his arms and turned slightly in the direction of the sound, his steely grey eyes taking in the form before him. A reddish head fellow with glasses and tablet that he had never seen before was addressing him. He would contemplate how to answer back for a few seconds before opening his mouth and speaking.

"No. Suicide is not my reason for being here, even if I have been contemplating where exactly this hole goes," he would begin before blinking slowly like a cat and turning to face the other fully, his eyes studying the other as he continued to speak. "Who are you?"

"That is a possibility," the young man would say as he glanced back at the hole still curious as to where it had come from. He would eye for a moment longer before looking back at the other as he responded to his question. To the words spoken, the young man would tilt his head at the other, his expression softening slightly as a small smile played on his lips. "Nice to meet you Rem. I am Hatsuharu, but you may call me Haru or Hatsu if you like," he would say as he shifted his weight to his left foot and rested a hand on his hip. "Secret investigation. Into what?" he would ask curious of what the answer would be regardless if it was truth or not.

He would snort softly at the wave, choosing to put his hands in his pockets versus wave back. This guy was strange, but at least he wasn't the annoying sort of strange...at least not yet. The fallen idol didn't mind this as he had seen stranger in his life and this wasn't some fan trying to do something to him, so that was a plus in the end. In any case, the small smile would remain on Haru's lips only widening slightly as the other answered his question. "Clever boy. Secrets don't like to be cheated on," he would say his tone more amused than upset at this point. It wasn't like he was really after the others secrets, but had asked to see just what sort of person this was. Strange? Yes. Dumb or too talktive? No. It was an odd blend that drew the young man's interest. "So tell me are you from around here?"

"So I see," the young man would say as he watched the other. Secrets or not, this one sure liked to make some interesting statements didn't he? Now was it all true? The fallen idol couldn't tell, but he wasn't about to dig to deeply into the matter either. The subject matter wasn't harming him and didn't seem like something he needed to know anyway. Besides, he wasn't here to drill someone on their choice of words any how or go digging into strangers' personal business. Unless it concerned him he had no reason to do it in the end. That aside, he would soon focus on the smile given and the next set of words spoken. To what he heard, he would snort as he shook his head. "Neptune? Hmm, I wouldn't know how great it is cause I've never been there before. Why don't you tell me all about it?" he would say and then let that go where it would before becoming serious again as he let out a small huff and looked over to the side. "Pies, huh? Sounds like a good time and maybe I will try one later. The darkness of this hole is more appealing right now."  

"Is that so?" Well so much for seeing how much the other would ramble. It looked like this one was cutting it short. Ah well. Perhaps he could find entertainment at a later time. In any case, pies. The dark hair young man would tilt his head at what was suggested. "I do like lemon pie, so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks," he would say before he looked back at the hole as he listened to the other. "Danger has never bothered me, but don't worry my goal isn't to throw myself over. As curious as I am as to where it leads, I would rather climb down the hole well equipped versus plunging to my death." He would pause and run his hand through his hair. "Besides, I am not one to give up on life that easily." He would look back at the other with a tired smirk. Life could suck sometimes, but he was in no way going to give up on it just because it threw a curve ball at him.
