Chaos is known as the being that never became a star. It is everywhere and yet nowhere at the same time.
Neither good nor evil, the ultimate expression of nothingness. The antithesis of the cosmos, creation itself.
Although Chaos claims to be the very state of existence from which the first entities appeared, it cannot form into the entity it wants most.
So it has been cursed to stay in the form of a dark and shapeless void. Floating between existence and nonexistence.
Longingly watching as stars are constantly born and lives are lived. The seeds of malice had been planted, flourished and transformed Chaos into the purest form of evil.
The following morning was met by the sound of the local radio as an alarm. Weather casters telling that the temperature and weather in New Paris was going to be the same as normal, fine and sunny with a light breeze. It seemed that the weather was always perfect in this city. Oscar yawned as rubbed his face, it was quite early for a normal persons standards, however, getting ready for the day was always a challenge for him. Sure he could get professional aid, but to Oscar that meant admitting defeat. After all for the past 5 years this was his routine and as the saying goes, don't change what isn't broke. It was something like that Oscar though as he slipped a shirt on.
An hour or so passed and he was finally to head out, locking the apartment up and heading down the elevator he made his way to the cafe where Julius and he were to meet. The reason Oscar left so early is because the rush hour of the morning wasn't until later and he used the time before heading into the cafe as a way to collect his head and prepare himself for the day, looking at his schedule, making sure his jobs were done and what time they were to be picked up etc. It just saved time later in the day if he could remember these things now.
He ordered his coffee after the stroll down the street and headed inside, taking out a small portable notebook (laptop) and double checking his schedule. Julius soon came in and apologized / ask if he was late, “Nah, you're fine. How'd you sleep?”
He had to triple check his schedule but it really didn't matter, his personal enjoyment came first always. "Uh, you see. Just pick a day and I'll be there."

[attr="class","nologicpost1"] Julius can only assume - hope - that Oscar did not wait for very long from his words. "Fine," he stated. He slept well enough with no dreams or at least none he could remember. Sleep was sleep and the fact that he didn't wake up in the middle of the night was all that he needed. The prosecutor arched a brow at the other stating that he can pick any date. Julius took out his phone and looked at the available slots. They were various tickets from what floor one would have access to and even if one would take the elevator or the stairs. "...Thursday...around one?" he asked his fingers hovering over the tickets for said date. They might as well go to the very top around that time when people would normally be too busy with work. Julius would have to leave work early so he would have to talk to the office about that. Hopefully they would allow him.[break][break]
After receiving an answer, the prosecutor glanced at the laptop the other hand on him, "what jobs.are you..doing today?" he asked somewhat out of obligation but also out of mild curiosity. Chances are, he would not truly understand but it was always interesting to know. One should learn about those around them anyway...maybe then Julius would have a better understanding on how to be social.
note: made a few assumptions so totally hmu if you want any edits

“Thursday around one sounds good.” Oscar said happily as his intake of daily caffeine finally started to kick in, he could feel his brain and body just turn on as if he was hit by lightning. The energy he felt was electrifying and although Oscar always looked sleep deprived he thrived in this environment of little to no sleep.
He started typing away to put the plan in his calendar, a few clicks here and there and it was done. Possibly to others Oscar these motions were rather quick, it was just Oscar had memorized everything and knew what shortcut keys to press to make the process even faster, not to mention he typed rather fast. On his web browser the local internet forum was loaded (think reddit), users posted anonymous things on here all the time and it was a source of entertainment and information for Oscar. He finished his coffee while browsing.
“I have a few computers that will be picked up this afternoon, but besides that its more office work today. Keeping records up to date etc, would hate to be audited or something.” He shrugged and gave a soft laugh as he signaled the waiter over for another coffee, no words were needed to be exchanged after all he was a regular here. “How about you also invite your brother to come?” Julius spoke about his brother with a lot of respect and admiration so Oscar was curious to see what he was like but he also could talk tech with him which was a good change. Not many people in this area knew what he spoke about when he went on a tangent so it would have been a good change of pace.
While drinking his new coffee and talking with Julius, Oscar was multitasking and browsing the web. Hopefully he didn't think Oz was rude, however, it was his normal routine and even if there was another person here he wouldn't change that. That was when he came across a thread that spoke of a guy seeing abnormal things at night during the past week. The person posting known in internet slang as 'OP' was asking if anyone else had seen anything similar.
Most were calling the person crazy but there were a few others that confirmed they had been feeling odd / seeing things they couldn't explain. Oscar never commented on the thread but it made him think, even in a fantasy world was magic possible? Like could people summon creatures, control the elements or even fly without the use of machinery? “Hey Julius, what do you think of this?”
Oscar moved his laptop over so Julius had a better look at the screen, he showed the whole thread and scrolled through it slowly so he could read it. “Do you believe in this? I mean, magic?”

[attr="class","nologicpost1"] Julius gave a nod, so that meant it was mainly fixing computers and documents today? He understood the annoyance of documents as despite how he might act, he was a fan of the bureaucracy at times. Yet, he would be lying if he said he did not understand their importance. Even more was that it should mean that it would be a more relaxing day right? That's always good. He watched as the other softly laughed as if amused by something that Julius could not understand. It was not exactly anything new for the prosecutor though and he merely gave a nod of acknowledgment to this unknown factor. As long as it made the other happy and it did not hurt anyone, he saw no reason to not encourage it.[break][break]
Despite the fact that Julius's face remained the same, there was a bit more light in his eyes at the mention of his brother. His shoulders relaxing a little bit as he took a sip of his tea. It would be nice if Alex could come as it meant that he could meet Oscar. Julius also enjoyed spending time with Alex in general. 'I will...thank you," he stated with a small nod. Of course, it all depended on Alex's schedule. If he could come it honestly would be wonderful but if he couldn't, Julius would understand. Even if Alex often made time for him, his brother was a busy man and he would like to intrude as little as possible.[break][break]
As Julius took the plastic knife and started to spread the cream cheese onto the bagel, he can hear the soft sound of clicking from Oscar. He was most likely doing some of the paperwork right now, Julius almost wished he could do the same. Oscar's work ethic was something to strive for...despite what Marcus often try to push for. Not wanting to disturb him, the prosecutor elected to look out the window at the people passing by. [break][break]
It was the voice of his companion that brought him away from his people watching, only to be met with a computer screen. His eyes absorbing the information as Oscar scrolled the screen down. Hmm..interesting, gray eyes flicked over to the top to look at the title of the forum. This could very well be a hoax but it might also not be. Either way, as a magi, it was Julius's duty to investigate this.[break][break]
“Do you believe in this? I mean, magic?”
[align=right] "Tell me, stranger, do you believe in magic?" [/align]
It has only been two months since he had heard this question and it was funny in how much has changed. Two months certainly was enough to change one's view about life. However, there was usually an extent to that and Julius was sure that the understanding of one's own reality certainly crossed it. [break][break]
"It's...possible..." he offered the neutral answer where in the past hew ould had rejected such ideas. He could have said no, could have lied, but Julius did not wish to betray the nice acquaintanceship he had with Oscar. This was the best option he had. "There...isn't proof..that it doesn't..." which for anyone who lived in the realm of science (something Julius once had), it would mean nothing. "So...it's possible..." he took a sip of his tea in an attempt to find the right words. "I didn't know...you were interested..in this," he gestured over to the computer screen in an attempt to redirect this conversation.
[newclass=.nologicimg]height:70px;width:70px;padding:15px;background-color:#222222;border-radius:100%;float:left;margin:20px 25px 0px -35px;[/newclass]
Oscar took a sip of coffee as he watched Julius examine the screen. He looked somewhat invested in the topic, it was as if he was thinking more then normal of it. Oz never thought that this prosecutor would be interested in such trivial and fantasy topics such as magic. Oscar smiled at his answer, he was surprised, Julius always seemed like a man of science so to even acknowledge the idea of 'if it hasn't been disproved, it could be real' was something of a fairy tale.
Oscar was more of a man of fact, yes he believed in science but also somewhat in religion. But the idea of magic was far-fetched for someone like him. “Oh, I'm not really...Just came up and wanted to hear your thoughts. After all if there was such a thing as magic, I'd do anything in my power to obtain it.”
It was never beneficial to talk what-ifs with Oscar, the reality was that he had no feeling or movement in his lower half, his entire life is defined by living in a wheelchair and while he wanted to change that he was told years ago it would be impossible even with advances in technology. So to say Oscar was skeptical was a fair call in his opinion, “Maybe I'm just a skeptic but I believe what I see, and I've never seen magic nor god so they doesn't exist.”
Yes that was contradictory to what he believed somewhat, because he did believe in religion however he wasn't sure if that was just because he needed something to hope about or because there was acutally a lord and savior. These types of talks were always mind boggling for him, after all how could one really understand the universe in such a way at the age of twenty-two?
“For now, I'll keep looking at the stars and maybe one day they will give me power somehow.” Oscar laughed at the thought while drinking more of his coffee. He wondered if Julius considered him strange for asking the question so he thought he'd better apologize. After all he didn't want to scare anyone off, “Sorry. I know some people get weird when these types of questions are asked.”

[attr="class","nologicpost1"] Magic...was honestly quite amazing. When Julius had his wish granted, there was a moment of disbelif..in how everything seemed to just fall in place. What the police had put away for years was magically given to them. Just like that magician had once told him..magic was in power, the power to affect the world around you. However, that also meant that there were consequences to those power. There were those who can use it responsibly and keep chaos at bay but there were also those that would help aid chaos. The selfishness that was in the latter group was almost disturbing, how they simply refuse to think about those around them. At least, he had assumed when looking at youmas or even that one skeleton on Halloween.[break][break]
The prosecutor gave a nod to Oscar's words, it was only fair. The best way to learn anything was to experience it...even if ironically that was never the case. One does not exactly see gravity as much as its effects and one certainly did not see the atoms and elements but yet it was still used. The experiences of others were often taken as fact in the realm of science but that was because there was a certain control to it. There was a process, something that did not exactly exist with magic and perhaps it was for the better. Magic should not be given to just anyone.[break][break]
There was irony in the brunette's words. Despite the fact that he said he didn't believe in it because he didn't see it, that didn't stop him from looking at the stars and hoping. Was that what one called faith or was it desperation? Julius was not exactly sure with the information he had. Then again, had he not confessed to his own wish to Io despite believing the evoker to be a madman during their first meeting? Ah..perhaps it was desperation after all.[break][break]
"If such...a thing exists...it is not...without consequences," the prosecutor warned, "but...do not worry...I was asked...something similar..once before." And had given an entirely different answer. "Do you...often look..into these?" he asked a bit curious and perhaps even concerned. The last thing he wanted was for Oscar to run into a youma, he was not sure if the other would be able to outrun one in his state. Gray eyes briefly glanced over at the wheelchair in thought before taking another bite of his bagel as he waited for an answer.
[newclass=.nologicimg]height:70px;width:70px;padding:15px;background-color:#222222;border-radius:100%;float:left;margin:20px 25px 0px -35px;[/newclass]
“I think if someone would have the power the only consequences would be how you use it.” Oscar honestly thought if someone could use magic they wouldn't be able to be stopped. The ability to do anything at anytime, now that was a enticing thought. He finished his second coffee and while he scrolled through the web more, nothing else really stood out. There was world news of natural disasters and politics of various countries but none of it really appealed to Oz currently. His mind was only focused on that one thread however he played it off.
Oscar yawned as he stretched his arms, it was almost time to leave and go back home to start work for the day. Julius had work also today so he didn't want to make him late, Oscar enjoyed the time he spent with the reclusive, quiet prosecutor the past twenty-four hours and knew they would enjoy more company later on. Oscar was excited to see Alex also, a man who Julius spoke about with such respect.
“I guess I look into them often, it's more just curiosity. I'll never be able to walk so I have some hope that magic is real I guess...Then I could walk.” It was such a selfish reason to want magic to exist, most people would want to better the world, yet Oscar had these dark thoughts. Desires of wanting to be free and he'd do anything, absolutely anything if it meant being able to stand up and walk around.
“What time does work start for you, Julius?” He asked curiously, Oscar never knew where exactly he worked or how far he traveled so to steer the topic away from letting him think about walking again he started to talk about Julius.

[attr="class","nologicpost1"] "Not using it...would also...have consequence..." Julius stated after a small moment of silence. Using magic was not the only consequences but also not using it. If there was someone in front of you that could help you but yet...you didn't help them. That choice of not doing anything will have a consequence down the line whether one had magic or not. However, the addition of magic could very well exacerbate it.[break][break]
The desperate want...it could be argued that Oscar had a stronger wish than Julius did. Even though Julius had wanted that man in jail, he had never looked into magic or anything fantastical as a possible answer. In fact, he had never even entertained the idea let alone go online to look into them. Beggars could not be answer...and yet Julius could not help but feel as if some part of this had been his fault. Even if he knew logically, just because he had a strong star seed, that did not affect Oscar's own. Yet...Oscar should not be bound to the life that he had. If he was able to walk, Julius was sure that people would not treat him as different. Not to say that they scorned him, as far as Julius knew, but there were also those pitying looks. Julius knew those looks well due to growing up an orphan, it made it hard to talk to people. An apology was on the tip of his tongue, ready to apologize for being luckier than Oscar but Julius had managed to swallow it down. "I see..." was all that he was able to say. No words of comfort, not even the truth that could bring hope to Oscar. Not when there was the price that came with it. A pale hand fiddled with the earing on his left ear...the one that carried his sou. The very idea still felt weird and there were still many questions he wanted to ask about that but...he wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer either.[break][break]
The computer repair changed the subject asking about Julius's job. "Ten..." so looking at the clock and seeing as the office was in the same district he had about an hour left. "Today is...paperwork...and some...interviews." So not exactly a busy day but not a relaxing one either. No, it was one with just enough work to somewhat satisfy Julius...depending on how long the interviews go. The man finished his bagel and took another sip of his tea, The prosecutor honestly wished he was a better subject to talk about if only because he did not want to encourage Oscar's thinking. Yet, he wasn't sure how to actively discourage it...not without revealing magic to him anyway. "Alex...is..interesting..." Alex was possibly the only thing interesting about Julius if only because of his association to the older Vesper, "he tends to talk...a lot more. He also has a lot of passion." the words came out a lot easier than they had before. It was amazing what talking about Alex could do."He also makes...good brownies..." in fact Julius would argue he was probably a better cook and baker than the younger Vesper. He almost missed the brownies his brother used to bake.
[newclass=.nologicimg]height:70px;width:70px;padding:15px;background-color:#222222;border-radius:100%;float:left;margin:20px 25px 0px -35px;[/newclass]
It seemed even for Julius the bane of his working existence was paperwork, just like Oscar. The tedious task was something he dreaded even though he could be positive that Julius was a lot worse then his. The two males were somewhat socially awkward, however, it felt to Oscar that they both could talk about anything it was just their communication was tip-toed around by each other because both were hurt from the past and as friends they would never want to bring up the bad memories that haunted him. Well Oscar thought they haunted, Julius, being an orphan was no easy thing to grow up with even if he had his older brother to help him through it.
Oscar could remember when he was but a wee child he wished he had a younger brother or sister, someone to look after and play with. Instead his father taught him the fun and joys of stripping a computer and rebuilding it. Admittedly Oscar never got into until after he passed away but the seeds were planted from a young age. “You know I haven't had home cooked brownies before.”
“Mom use to make the best banana bread, it made me want to cook as a kid. You know, to replicate it...I never could though....Never had the delicate touch for food.” Oscar chuckled at the thought, “Always burning things haha.”

[attr="class","nologicpost1"]Really? Julius had always thought homebaked goods were common..at least when one did not grow up alone. Then again, he supposed there was always a chance that one was just not that fortunate and the entire family simply did not bake. It wasn't as if such a thing was required despite how tv shows and movies might make it seem. However, it seemed that it was only specifically homemade brownies that Oscar had no experienced. His homebaked goods had been banana bread, something he had once tried to replicate only to no avail. The prosecutor once cooked when he had lived with Alex but that felt like something long ago...when really it had not even been a full year yet.[break][break]
"Have...you...thought...about....asking...for...a recipe?" Julius couldn't help but ask. If there was a recipe, then Oscar would only have to follow the instruction right? "Or ask...her...to make some...for you?" which was always a possibility as long as his mother was not living too far away. If not, again there was always the recipe.
[newclass=.nologicimg]height:70px;width:70px;padding:15px;background-color:#222222;border-radius:100%;float:left;margin:20px 25px 0px -35px;[/newclass]
Ahhh...Did Oscar not tell Julius he also lost his parents long ago? He couldn't remember now that he thought about it. Asking for a recipe while normally a solid idea was but something of a pipe dream because just like the prosecutor, Oscar knew all too well what losing family was like. “Ahh...You se-”
His words cut short as if he throat was caught on something, he didn't want to sound rude or start any drama with Julius and approaching this was always a touchy subject. “I lost them when I lost my legs.” As he said this he shut down his laptop and closed, putting it back in its case. He wasn't upset but rather just wanted to leave the topic alone, uncovering old wounds was never the smartest of ideas.
Looking at his phone Oscar realized it was getting late and he had to go back and open the shop. “I hate to cut this short, Julius but I need to get back and open. We still on for Thursday?” He offered a handshake and excused himself from the table, making his way out the door and waiting for his friend to follow. Out the front he said his goodbyes and wished Julius a smooth day at work before adding, “I'm looking forward to hanging out at the Eiffel Tower.” A warm smile was shown and a final handshake before Oscar had left back for his apartment and shop.

[attr="class","nologicpost1"]Julius waited patiently for the words knowing what it was like when one was unable to find them. However, he had not expected the revelation and instantly knew that he had done something wrong. Even if he didn't know and had come to terms with his own parent's passing (even if the loss did reignite from time to time), he shouldn't have triggered that. The male bit his lips unsure of what to say. What was there to say? Apologies never felt right or at the very least, Julius had never liked to hear them. It wasn't the apologizer's fault his parents had died and heard it only made him felt pitied by said apologizer. [break][break]
There was a sound of a closing laptop and he quickly saw a hand reaching out. Oscar was excusing himself and Julius honestly didn't blame him. Again, he was unsure of what to say and the words at the tip of his tongue were simply inadequate. Not trusting himself, he gave a nod while averting Oscar's face. He messed up..he had obviously messed up. Really, it shouldn't have been anything too surprising as Julius had never been very good at being social. And then...Oscar said he was looking forward to it.[break][break]
When gray eyes looked up, something in the back of his mind had told him that there would be a look of disapproval. Not to say that he met with very much disapproval in his life, if anything, Julius was often left alone to his thoughts. However, his words had clearly stroke a nerve but yet...he as met with a smile. The same smile Oscar often give him when they shared a meal together or when the brunette had finished repairing his laptop. Gray eyes widened like saucers before Julius managed to collect himself and gave a stronger nod. "Me too," he assured the other his voice slightly louder than usual..which had caused him to flinch. It wasn't as if it was loud enough to catch the attention of other patrons of the cafe but..it was certainly louder than his usual voice...much louder than expected. "I...look..forward to it...as well..." he stated, his voice going back to its usual volume as he let Oscar's hand go. [break][break]
Julius left after ordering some coffee and tea for those in the office. Maurice had asked him what the special occasion was to which Julius had merely kept quiet. He was unsure if it was anything special but..it was just nice...to know that he hadn't lost a small sense of his own normality.
