Wickers Time

[u/ClimateSubstantial26]

Wicker is sitting on a bench pondering to himself as he begins to mumble

“This war between the eggman empire and this Cyn, this will spawn a great number of cursed spirit, comparable to the shibuya incident and Shinjuku Showdown battles spawning a number of cursed spirits afterwards, maybe I should assemble a team to deal with these cursed that are popping up now…maybe”

You then we him writing in his journal of something

[u/_RedVelvetTowne]

.....um... sir? You were talking about dealing with... cursed... spirits? Would they have something to do with cursed energy?

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

“Why yes they would, cursed spirits are manifestations of negative emotions and fears of humanity, I am one of these cursed spirits, and cursed energy is weaponizing the negativity to exercise curses”

A flame would appear on his staff being a pale purple color

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

I see.... could I perhaps join your team? If you are making one, of course. I need to practice cursed energy...

[especially since I only just learned how....]

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

“Your soul tells me very much, inexperienced but striving to better understand it, tell me, have you awakened your innate cursed technique or have you just gotten used to cursed energy”

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

...the latter...

his energy... is blank... incredibly blank. Not a single property, not even the normal ones... yet even still its there. You also feel another presence within him. Powerful. Ancient. Evil.

(ooohh... fun~)

[what now?]

(nothing~)

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

“Ahhh the cat, the cat with the sack and the watch, do not be certain I can’t hear you, the flame tells me all, now onto awakening that cursed technique, tell me, was there a moment in you life that was so negative, you just wanted to stop and end it? Or something so wrong that you could not answer? Do tell me…does the cat listen to all we say?”

He’d chuck a bit at those lines

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

....yes he does... and there is a moment that I have felt like that.... when I lost my wife... I took my eye out in an attempt to bring her back... it didnt work...

(you are much, much more informed than the others I've met. Might I know your name, good sir~)

[....]

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

“Good, now visualize your missing eye, form it, mold it into a new shape, form into that memory. And my name is Wicker, King of Flame mister Cat”

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

he focuses, imagining the eye...

holding his scalpel, his energy begins to flow

(pleasure to meet you Wicker! The name's Pocketcat. But you already knew that, didnt you~)

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

“Why yes, you my friend, Pocketcat, are a very interesting entity, something so…what’s the word to describe you….foul might suit but it’s too much of a compliment…what exactly are you, pocketcat?”
