WHERE: Maurtia Falls, a street less travelled
WHEN: June 7th, nighttime
WHAT: Dio wishes to share his skill with Yusuke, in order to share it iwth the other members of Constellation.
WARNINGS: Nothing forseen? Will update as necessary!


[The first thing Dio did upon joining this shady organization was get in contact with someone who could 'share powers' and immediately agree to meet him. Well, if he was anyone else, he might feel inclined to worry over meeting someone whose name he didn't even know, but as it was... he was Dio.

He waited at a street corner, dressed up nice in his suit and well groomed in order to make a good impression on the person he was meeting. Prometheus? Dio was silently attempting to parse what the name could mean, never having been particularly invested in astrology, where he was more versed in mythology.

Dio watched as people passed by the intersection that they'd designated for meeting, in order to find a more private place to share his ability. He carefully attempted to get eye contact from any passerby, though most seemed to stare back with some amount of wariness. 'Smart lot', Dio thought as he gave a particularly fangy grin to one of the dirty looks before noticing someone who seemed to be approaching him specifically.]

The stars are right.

[He spoke with some confidence, befitting a man of his stature, and of his power. If the boy wasn't one of theirs, he would likely just give him a strange look and be on his way. All for the best, really.

He held in an arm a small glass orb and an old-style polaroid camera, two of the tricks of his trade, though how these factored in would remain to be seen until he was ready to demonstrate.]

[ Yusuke stays hidden in the shadows, watching, waiting to find the person he was looking for. There was very little to go off of, just the codename, like Dio. Jupiter. The name had a certain gravitas that put him on edge, cautioned him that, like Mars, this person would not be one to be trifled with. He's unsure exactly what he's looking for, but as he scans the faces of the locals and other passerby, he's sure he'll know when he sees it.

When Dio arrives, he eyes him suspiciously for a moment before revealing himself. Making sure the mask on his Phantom Thief getup is secure, he steps from the shadows into the street, passing by the bulky hulk of a man once to see if he got a reaction.

The stars are right. ]

They are. Jupiter?

[dioception]

Mhm. Prometheus, I presume.

[He was going to take a moment to give the guy a once-over. Would you just look at that outfit? Wow. Dio wasn't sure if he found it too over-the-top or not enough so.

He supposes the mask thing was to be expected at least once or twice out of an organization with code names, but it was still somewhat thrilling to see one in person! And some kind of Japanese-styled fox mask too. What significance did it hold...?]

Come, walk with me. And tell me, do you have something you are looking for? Someone you would like to keep an eye on? Preferably in this world, my friend.

[lempereur]

[ He nods to confirm his identity, and walks beside Dio, giving him a look over himself. Of course, there are people he would like to peek in on. A decent handful, in fact, but not a single name he would be willing to tell, considering how immensely dangerous every Constellation member he'd met thus far was. ]

There's nothing, at least not anything urgent. How specific does it need to be?

[dioception]

It needs to be something physical, and something that there would be only one of.

For example, 'the nearest bank' would work, but 'a bank' would not.

[Otherwise, the sky is the limit, he supposed. He'd used it for a great deal of things so far himself. Mostly people, but things would work as well, he'd learned from watching another person with the same power.]

So what'll it be?

[He held up the glass orb in a hand, ghostly purple vines seeming to grow from his forearm and hand.]

[lempereur]

[ Yusuke thinks hard on it, casting a weary eye at the vines growing from Dio. ]

Can you show me Shibuya station, in Tokyo?

[dioception]

[Hm. An interesting thing to ask for, but Dio respected that the masked man didn't want him knowing what was precious to him. Or who. The vampire gave a low, deep rumble of a chuckle, holding the glass orb out for Yusuke, as if he were some sort of fortune teller.

But unlike a fortune teller, when those ghostly purple vines reached into the orb, disappearing into the glass as if they were ethereal, a vision showed. Shibuya Station, as it was in this world. It appeared in real time, as if on closed-circuit television, though no camera stood outside the station in such a place.

People going in and out were shown in the same way, though there was no sound. A glass orb didn't produce sound, but a television would.]

Likewise, a map can be made with malleable materials, which can lead you to something you are looking for.

[lempereur]

[ The purple vines were chilling, but besides a loud exhale, Yusuke kept that to himself. That was Shibuya alright, mostly the same as he has left it. A small comfort, amid everything. ]

Is the orb a necessary part of it?

[dioception]

[The vines retract as Dio turns his head back to the young man.]

The orb is the screen through which the image is projected. Hermit Purple itself cannot create an image. A television, mirror, window, or clear pool of water can do the same. Or...

[Tucking the orb beneath an arm, Dio pulled free a polaroid camera. Those vines wrapped around his arm before he tapped the camera gently, a picture then suddenly coming out. He handed it over to Yusuke, a picture of the same station as they'd just been looking at,caught in real time.]

You see?

[lempereur]

So, anything reflective.

[ Sounded easy enough. In a pinch, he could always summon up a block of ice. ]

Would the camera on the communicator work?

[dioception]

[Dio clicked his tongue, looking down to the communicator.]

There's really no point in bothering with the camera on the communicator. As it is capable of video, the screen should be just as capable as a television screen or the crystal ball in displaying a live feed of whatever or whoever you wish to look at.

I would have to experiment if I wanted to send the video image elsewhere though, but I suppose if you were very precise with it, you could display it on the glass covering the camera so that the other line could see it.

[lempereur]

Of course. But, if I wanted to take a picture, say, for the benefit of the group, and send it electronically? It just seems more efficient than a real camera.

[dioception]

It is. I suppose it's up to you to figure out a way to do that, though. I've never had reason to share my visions with others who were not in my immediate vicinity.

[It didn't concern him, in any case. If Prometheus wanted some specific thing out of his ability that he hadn't already perfected, he'd need to find out how to do it.]

Although... one could easily use the camera on the communicator to simply capture another reflective surface that showed the information on it that you'd wish to share.

[lempereur]

I will have to experiment with it, then. Thank you for showing me.

[ Yusuke taps at the ceramic mask on his face, pondering. Something like this could be massively useful, if he got the hang of it, but these more complex skills would be a large time commitment. It would take a couple days, at least, to even make the card, and the amount of time it would last wouldn't be long enough experiment with all the ins and outs. He would have to do it a couple of times... ]

Are there any abilities I can provide you with?

[dioception]

[Any abilities he could be provided with? Well, Dio's ego would not allow him to admit that there were many, if ANY, abilities that he didn't already have that he'd need, but he was practical enough to realize that having an extra thing would be a good thing for him.]

Mmmh, what do you have?

[He wasn't sure what he could be provided with, but certainly he could get a good idea just listening to what was available.]

[lempereur]

Ice magic, electricity magic, enhanced speed, enhanced resistance to attacks, memory manipulation, spontaneous projectile conjuring, earth manipulation...and whatever requests you may have, I will see what I can do to acquire them.

[ It isn't a complete list, but not even Dooku will be getting that. Some things are too specific, too easy to trace back to people he wanted to protect. ]

[dioception]

[Dio listens to the list carefully, thinking on them. Memory manipulation would be funny, wouldn't it? He'd no need for ice, as he had his own form of the same, enhanced speed and resistance he already had over a human... Electricity and earth magic would be good for a one-time attack, but they were mundane in Dio's eyes.]

How about I take an 'I owe you'. A rain check. I don't have anything in mind right now, but perhaps I can come up with something sufficient given some time.

Now, if you need any help with that one, let me know. It's extraordinarily versatile, and can take some practice to understand.

[lempereur]

[ The idea of owing a favor to anyone from the Constellation wasn't exiting, exactly, but he didn't have much of a choice here, did he? ]

I will let you know if I have any further questions.

[dioception]

[It was owe him, or try to press Dio to make a choice, if the young man wanted to attempt to press Dio to do anything, but that was a gamble that he had chosen not to take.]

Wonderful. We will be in contact, Prometheus. You know how to get hold of me.

[With that, Dio held out a hand. Ever the false gentleman, he would shake on their little 'deal'. Really, he was happy to share this ability with others. Anyone who wanted to find him was able to find him in other ways, and he didn't care if they looked for anything or anyone else.]
