Truth eaves drops on her as she speaks in the other room.

Perception:


Taking the pants He heads towards the next room to change. Thanks, and sorry. He says his face burning in embarrassment.

The drive is a bit less crazy on the way to their mystery location. Mary is quiet for the most part until they arrive.

Okay, when I say, just get to your knees and bow. Without explaining, she gets out and walks to the very large, Asian style house.

This should be interesting.

Yes Ma'am.

Truth follows her lead trying to not make anymore embarrassing mistakes.

They greeted at the door by an elderly japanese man. He smiles at Mary and gestures for you both to come in.

He's been spending much of his time in his study as of late. It seems he's had an appetite for knowledge after that last encounter with that horrible thing that took Loomis. It pays to be prepared I guess. This way.

He guides them down a hall and into a large room. Truths senses are spiking. Theres a powerful energy here that hes never felt before, just cant quite place a finger on it. Suddenly Mary grabs him by the back of his collar and forces him down with her in a bowing posture.

At the other end of the room, an older japanese man in robes, looks to be in his 50's or so, with long grey hair, and a thing mustace and goatee stands and walks to meet them. He seems to almost glide across the floor.

What is that energy I'm feeling, and a bow? Who is this guy?

Truth stays bowed until he is allowed to stand again, then waits for further instruction.

The man speaks. His voice is powerful, and soothing all at once.

Arise.

Once the two are standing, he looks Truth over. Suddenly he can feel as if there are fingers in his brain. Right away he can tell his thoughts are being read.

Truth fights the urge to resist. Just relax, you need this, you need to find out what happened the last two days. Just relax......

He sits in silence trying to force himself to relax in the extremely uncomfortable situation.

He sighs.

So young to be so lost. He turns to Mary.

Mary, it is good to see you again. The two exchange a smile.

And you as well, Noble Dragon Tetsuyo. She replies.

His attentions are brought back to Truth.

Why have you been brought to me today, Shinichi Kaito?

Noble Dragon Tetsuyo?! is that just a title or is he the real deal.

Truth starts talking, he is obviously nervous, but he speaks with reverence and respect. Excuse me Noble Dragon Tetsuyo, I have come to you today because I have the lost the memory of the last two days. I feel as if I had learn something important to my cause, and I really wish to recall it.

And what is your cause?

I am looking for someone very important to me, she disappeared under false pretenses and I need to find her.

The one you call Madison, yes? She is very important, yes? Your mind is screaming her name. Your soul aches for her.

Truth's eyes swell with tears, he tries to hold them in as he speaks. Yes you are correct on all accounts, I don't know what happened to her or why she hasn't contacted me. I have done things I never would of done, all for for her, I don't care if she hates me and never wants to see her again I just need to know if she is alright.

Well then... He holds his hands out, signaling for Truth to come closer.
Let us begin.

Truth follows his signal and approaches Tetsuyo.

Tetsuyo places his hands over Truths head, and begins to sway the to and fro while whispering some type of enchantments. It takes only seconds for Truth to fall into a trance. And suddenly, he's back in the diner. Soon everything plays out in front of him. As if he's watching himself in a movie. As the memories are recalled, the pang of guilt comes washing back as Kadaj's and Dregs faces swirl around him. Kadaj is laughing while Dreg is drowning in his own blood and Truth is in between them both with Madison hanging above him from a rope around her neck. Suddenly it ends. He feels as if he's being sucked through a vacuum until finally he returns to relaity, staring into the solemn face of Tetsuyo.

A terrible thing you have done, Shinichi Kiato. One that will cost many their lives.

He steps back and crosses his arms. Mary is now standing in between them. She looks distressed is Truths direction.

She speaks, What did you do?

Truth almost vomits as he remembers what he has done. That is something I wish I wouldn't have remembered, but it was for Madison so I would have done it again.

Dropping to his knees in front of Mary. I'm very sorry Dreg is dead, and I helped lead him to that end. I don't deserve your forgiveness, but please realize that I did it to help me find Madison, she has made me everything that I am today.

He waits patiently for her response and braces himself for the worst.

Tetsuyo speaks now. His voice booming and angry.
But you would do it again for another worthless person? Trade Dereks life for one that is no more valuable of that of common street trash?


Roll etiquette to try to smooth over as best you can at a -4

I am truly sorry for what I have done and I realize that nothing will ever bring him back, but Madison is not worthless. I understand you may wish to take retribution upon me, I have only one request please let me find Madison and make sure that she is alright, then you may do as you wish to me.
