How many of you got demons back home? Or met 'em here? Tell me about 'em.

[makeitquick]

Yeah. Sorry 'bout that.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Well that sucks.

[She puts this lamely. Actually, that's horrifying]

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Well that's good, at least.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Kinda sticky.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Oh.

I'll keep that in mind.

[Well, deeper into the apartment they go and... oh good Gates isn't right there. That's nice]

[mythmaker]

It's fine, Melaka-san! You haven't done anything wrong, I'm just behind the times, it seems.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Kinda from a world where magic's been dead for two cen. I'm picking up on a late study.

[...] Posess- something like taking someone's... self?

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Not... so much. A lotta fighting, not a lotta adventuring.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Yeah, guess so... ...Who were you again, though?

[Voice | Filtered]

[makeitquick]

...Nah, that was pretty candid.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Prob 'cus a lot of them don't wanna be human.

[makeitquick]

Think it's more I'm ahead.

[mythmaker]

My, my, if you're ahead of the times, does that mean you're the one who invents slang?

Enslaving the spirit. Trapping it in the body, whilst another power controls said body. Shamanism. Voodoo. Magical manipulation.

How are you finding the place? Not too, y'know, solo -- is it?

[voice]

You fight them to gain their respect, basically. I've never seen it happen, but it's what I've been told.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Though they are everyone's problem. Back home they're trying to do something big and bad that involves destroying the whole country.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Wow. [A beat. It reminds her of Harth] People ready to fight back for it?

[makeitquick]

No I mean... Earth. 2232 here. Further than most people I've met.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

...Disgusting. That's just... completely skew. Toy.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, before I came here my two best friends and a couple of their comrades left to go stop it.

[Meaning she stayed behind. See? Not info-girl or fighter-girl. She knows she has her part to play in the scheme of things, but... waiting is still tough.]

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Wow.

Most the demons I know just get pissed when you fight 'em.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Oh. That's good. [What the hell is a small team like that going to do against a threat to a country, she can't help but think. But she isn't good to question it]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

I dunno, I sorta like it. That to say I shouldn't be solo?

[But then she hears the rustling in the other room. Oh...]

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

And I think their father was going to help too? Anyway, unless you count mad alchemists I think that's all we have that is close to what you were asking for.
