Restaurant At The Edge of The Universe

OOC: There's a reason even Deku and Shigaraki were worried about the direction of the Manga earlier in this.

IC! "Well that's more of a Jane Doe schtick but I can appreciate the humor in skinning a corpse or two. Make a quilt out of their blood soaked flesh. There's a certain art to it. A good way to pass a quiet boring weekend at Arkham." She heard a quiet laugh behind her that sent chills running down her spine. Toga set her drink down and slowly turned around and looked at the grinning maniac who's eyes burned into her own. A terrifying, horrifying piercing stare on top of the far too wide inhuman smile of a monstrous clown.



"You know what your problem is kiddo? You forgot how to have fun. Your bosses got so obsessed with powers and big explosions and whiz-bang ooh ahhh that they forgot who they were! Take it from me, Toga-party, I became flat out God before but I never, ever, forgot who I was. I never forgot how to have fun with it. Listen, Toga-Party, less is more. Your little band had everything they needed to have the best slaughter parties ever but you just let it fall by the wayside! All of the power in the world doesn't matter if you forget how to have FUN! Where's the humor? The style? The panache? Look at me! I've killed at least as many, if not considerably more, people as your leaders and I didn't need powers to do it. I'd call your boss Adam Sandler but honestly he's too boring even for that. No, no, no, no. You kids need to go back to basics, reinvent yourselves and find your sense of humor again. In fact lets get it started!" Joker advised and dragged Toga out of her seat and looked around the room to find whichever villain he should introduce her too first.

As The Joker escorted her to wherever it was that he promised her part of her still couldn't shake that feeling that she had when she first saw him. That feeling of complete and utter helplessness. She knew it all too well when she'd carve her victims up and record their screams on her phone. There was something about this peculiar man. The first impression she has is embodiment of chaos who'd like to disrupt the natural flow of things. While that sense of fear still lurks she now feels towards this man the same way that Deku would feel towards All-Might.




His words echoed through her mind. In a way he's right. When she first started she never believed in the bullshit that her leader spew. The only thing Toga believed in was choice. To her, morality is an illusion. Choice makes a lot of sense. It doesn't matter the scenario, she would have ended up on the path she's following because that is the path she choose to lead.




She never hid behind what she does because she owns up to it. She never had any flashy powers. Her power was killing people and she does it really well. Yet, somewhere along the way, she lost sight of who she was. She hated her boss for that. She once thought he believed in what she believed but instead he ended up being nothing more than those other posers who uses weak morals to make themselves feel better for what they do. And he made her feel like that. He robbed her of her own identity. She hated Shigaraki for that.

"I'm tellin ya Chopper my man you shoulda been there. Tears and snot streaming down the poor bastards face and shit. Now personally speaking I didn't see what the big deal as I flat out told him I have someone that will take care of the kids arm" Negan said gleefully while telling the story to Choptop, who was laughing so hard he nearly fell over his seat. 

"Oh man oh man, and how did his kid take it?"

"That's the best part. His kid was the one who took it like a champ" Negan and Chop Top both laugh at that.



Negan turns as he hears Mistah J's voice.


Chop Top adjust his glasses to observe the young companion with him. "Aaan. This youngin looks nice and ripe"

"Himiko Toga!" Her eyes focused on the bat he has next to him, noticing the bloodstains that appear both old and fresh from the countless victims he must have mashed into oblivion.

"Like what you see don't ya." Negan smiled and holds the bat up proudly like a trophy. "This here is Lucille. My most prized posession, kind of like you and your knives there. Where I'm from you have The Shepard and The Cattle. With the latter you'd train them, nurture them, guide them. Case en point" He motions for Toga to excuse herself and he got up after her. "Now my man here, Jay thrives on Chaos. It's a belief I don't follow but I respect it. Chaos is simple yet quite effective. As is Order. *points the bat at Joker* And where I'm from, if someone just so happens to step out of line"

In one swift motion he spins and smashed his bat across the face of Harley. She crashes down and falls on the floor. "YAAAAH! WHAT THE HELL, NEGAN?!!" Blood running down her face like a fosset while Chop Top watches the whole thing, jumping and laughing like a madman. 

Joker quickly whips out his gun and points it at Ivy. "Easy Red. Just an educational demonstration for the next generation here"

Instantly Negan straddles himself on Harley's waist. "Nothin personal baby"

Bubba can smell blood and violence in the air. He peeked from the kitchen to find his brother Chop Top cheering the blood bath on "HERE COMES THE PAIN BABY! HERE COMES THE PAIN!!!!"

Then looks at Negan driving his bat down to Harley enough times till her whole head is pretty much hamburger at this point. He sits up, wipes the blood from his face, and licks some of it. "When someone gets out of line kiddo, Lucille puts em back in line"

"Reminds me of the Harvest family get togethers back home." Sam Blackwell say, observing this. If not for the heads up from Ramona she'd be shocked and appalled by this. Yet Ramona did imply that it's something where the villains are free to blow off steam. She kept close to Carmella and had her pistols ready in the event something breaks down.

Carmella kept her head down, bearing her fangs as she grits her teeth. Feeling the demon within her tempting to get her game face on.

(You know the rules. Now you've seen for yourself. What better opportunity to embrace your full vampiric bloodline)

Seeing her clear distress the FrankenZombie Girl set down her meal and wiped her hands and mouth. "Hey Lily? Can you conjure up another blood drink?"

"In here? Easy as pie." She magicked up another wine glass of blood and Kira took it from the table and walked over to to The Dhampire Princess. She crouched down in front of her and waved the blood drink under her nose. "Hey..I haven't really comforted a Vampire before, but, uh, are you okay?"

Carmella looked back up as the scent of the delicious blood brought back to her senses. She accepted the glass and sipped from it and relaxed as she brought herself back to her senses. "Thank you, Kira, I needed that."

"Happy to help. So what was that?"

"Ugh, sorry, just my Inner Demon trying to tempt me again."

"Oh right, you guys have to deal with that right? I'm sorry to hear that. For what it's worth I kinda get it. I have to deal with brain cravings during the day."

She laughed a little. "I can imagine what that's like. But wouldn't you target the cerebral cortex where all of our primal thoughts and control come from?"

"I know right? But you'd have to ask the mad scientists who made my body."

Sammy meanwhile draped her arms around Carmella's waist and kissed her cheek. "It's okay, honey. It's okay. I'm here. Don't worry about some inner demon. This is our night. You're stronger than him and you are going to enjoy our night together in full control of yourself because you are beautiful, wonderful, powerful and amazing."

As the singer left the stage the lights dim. Carmella and Sammy wait with intrigue as to who the next singer will arrive next? A smooth jazz tempo played and a beautiful woman in a blue dress walked out. The scent of the woman was enough for Carmella's blood to metaphorically freeze up. The moment she looked in that lady's eyes, that has the reading of an maniacal spider circling it's prey she knew who it is. Druscilla

Her hands grabbed the mic before her as she poke before the crowd. "This song is dedicated for those whom you've admired someone from afar and never had a chance to express how you feel.



If I were young as once I was,

and dreams and death more distant then,

I wouldn’t split my soul in two,

and keep half in the world of men,

So half of me would stay at home,

and strive for Faërie in vain,

While all the while my soul would stroll

up narrow path, down crooked lane,

And there would meet a fairy lass

and smile and bow with kisses three,

She’d pluck wild eagles from the air

and nail me to a lightning tree

And if my heart would run from her

or flee from her, be gone from her,

She’d wrap it in a nest of stars

and then she’d take it on with her

Until one day she’d tire of it,

all bored with it and done with it.

She’d leave it by a burning brook,

and off brown boys would run with it.

They’d take it and have fun with it

and stretch it long and cruel and thin,

They’d slice it into four and then

they’d string with it a violin.

And every day and every night

they’d play upon my heart a song

So plaintive and so wild and strange

that all who heard it danced along

And sang and whirled and sank and trod

and skipped and slipped and reeled and rolled

Until, with eyes as bright as coals,

they’d crumble into wheels of gold . . . .

But I am young no longer now,

for sixty years my heart’s been gone

To play its dreadful music there,

beyond the valley of the sun.

I watch with envious eyes and mind,

the single–souled, who dare not feel

The wind that blows beyond the moon,

who do not hear the Fairy Reel.


If you don’t hear the Fairy Reel,

they will not pause to steal your breath.

When I was young I was a fool.

So wrap me up in dreams and death."

She smiled at Sammy and licked the microphone in a rather titillating manner as the crowd applaud her.

(Where is he? Where's that blonde haired asshat?!) Carmella asked herself while her cold glare zeroed in on Druscilla. Sammy was at a loss for words at Druscilla's display, she knew if Dru were here then he couldn't be too far behind. She scanned the crowd and, from the far left, she spots William The Bloody. Spike raised his glass of blood then winked at the two couple.

"Quite enchanting, William. Got a chance to experiment on a few things and interact with a few eccentric individuals" Carmella said in a calm tone, despite the fact that she's 100% on edge at this point. "Since when did your lady friend become quite the singer?"

"Right around when I was touring with Théâtre des Vampires" spoke a dream like voice

Carmella and Sam were caught off guard with the instant appearance from the Malkavian known as Druscilla. In the blink of an eye she appeared by Spike's side, her wild, childlike gaze fixated on Sammy. "I do miss them, they gave me a whole new appreciation for the theatrics."

"Ohhh you know. Going through some emotional turmoil and trying to resolve my deep seated emotional issues and the issues with our verse."

"Yeah we've all been there. Come on. Lets walk."

Having no other plans Toga stood up and followed Kira as she continued eating her Human Chili.

"Okay, so, first thing: What's your story? Are you a Hero?" Toga questioned.

"Kinda sorta. I'm fighting working with a demon who runs an evil corporation on Earth to fight other demons who are causing trouble and sending them back to Hell so that I can eventually be returned to life and get my former gang out of Hell after we were murdered by, basically, a Super-Demon." Kira summarized. "Manea Archstopholes, that's my boss, had a pair of mad scientists create what was, essentially, a Zombie Body for me to house in with a combination of Magic and Technology and gave me Lily, that's her, who's my Magical Wand in a Doll Transformation, so I could transform into a Magical Girl Zombie and fight the aforementioned demons."

"Hello." Lily greeted. "My full name is Aiuengathrhurh. Which basically translates to Hellreaver, The Wand of Twilight's End."

A Zombified Frankenstein Magical Delinquent Girl was eating Human Chili in front of her while talking about working for literal Demons with a Demonic Doll on her shoulder that doubled as her transformation wand. Even by the standards of her world this was freaking bizarre! Not to mention that All For None was rambling about becoming an All Powerful Demon Lord but here was this lady working for an actual Demon Lord! Toga had to admit she was rather curious to meet her boss now.

Then again even that 'Skeleton Pimp' that Toga passed by on the way in tonight looked more legit than AFN so maybe it was just her universe.



"That's a pretty hardcore backstory." Toga complimented her. "So you're, like, a Dark Magical Girl?"

"One of the darker ones. Doesn't get much darker than working for Hell." Kira paused to eat some more Chili. "Although I guess you could argue that Homura Akemi is worse than I am."

"Yeah that checks out." Toga agreed. "Is she here?"

"Nah. Last I heard she and Madoka were meeting with Usagi to get their relationship issues sorted out."

"Usagi Tsukino? Seriously?"

"She's basically Magical Girl Jesus." Kira admitted. "If anybody help those two Goddesses back on the right track its here."

"Huh. Well that certainly sounds their best shot." Toga shrugged. "So, uh, you eat people then? Does that mean you eat Demons too?"

"You got it! Well, I don't exactly eat humans, rather the Demon Butcher posing as the Mother in my Monster Family prepares the meat sent up from Hell with the meals and I eat that. I need to eat organs and insides and such to keep my body in working order. Brains especially. I have no compulsions about eating the Monsters though. Believe me Toga I have mauled plenty of Demons already and I've had Demon meat prepared with the usual meals as well....and I'm getting hungry." She quickly finished the last of her Chili. "Actually, why don't we grab ourselves a seat? Tell you what. You drink blood right?"

"Yeah?"

"Cool. So does Lily. Lets find ourselves a private room, order some food and drinks and we can talk in comfort and you can tell me what's bugging you. Sound good?"

"Oh wow really?" Toga asked. "You'll treat me?"

"Sure why not? I've got cash to burn!" Kira declared proudly.

(Well they're creepy but they're certainly friendly and they're even kinda cool! Besides I used to hang out crazy lunatics anyway. SO this is normal enough for me.) Toga reasoned. "Sure! Lets go!"
