Chapter Text
“Crime! Crime! Crime!” Blue chanted from inside Atsushis head.
‘Blue, please. You’re giving me a headache on top of starving to death.’ Atsushi thought back with a groan.

His whole life, Atsushi had people in his head. Six, to be precise. Blue, who was mostly made rude and/or sarcastic comments all the time. Brown, who was practically the opposite, shy and quiet and kind. Blondie, whose defining personality trait was her competitiveness. Violet, who was fun, funny, and (not that most would say it to her face) childish. Green, who was strong and silent, literally, she was mute. And Grey, who somehow was rather good at fighting. Atsushi didn’t know how they knew how to fight so well, but it was like that with all of them. They knew things Atsushi didn’t, which was strange.

The first few attempts to rob people…didn’t. Thankfully, the man he pulled out of the river took him to get food.
“Thank you so much! I really thought I was going to starve to death.”
“YOU thought that. We wouldn’t die that quickly from starvation.”
‘Shut up Blue. I can’t be distracted right now.’

Somehow, he’d gotten roped into being bait for a(possibly) man-eating tiger. Actually, wait, no. he knew exactly how he got roped into this—the money.
“I can’t believe you signed yourself up for possibly getting eaten by a tiger in exchange for money.” grey complained.
‘I kinda need money to, like, live?’
“Yeah, jackass, we need money for food, and, if we can get a job, shelter.” Oh yeah, that was the other thing. Blue and Grey kinda hated each other. He didn’t know why , but they did. All of a sudden, Atsushi found himself in the mindscape, a place they all could change to make it look like whatever.
‘What the fuck?’
“What are you doing here? Not that we don’t want you here, but-”
‘It’s ok Brown. I don’t know either. One moment I was in the warehouse, the next I’m in here!’ they all debated how he’d ended up there when Atsushi found himself awake on the ground while several people looked at him.
“What the fuck just happened?”
