[ So. It's that time again, Vatheon. The new arrivals are coming.

This one is a particularly disgruntled young man, hair a soaking wet mess around his face, even covering his eyes. He lifts a hand to push the strands back against his head and he gives the SFC a look, flipping it around a couple times before he lets it settle back on his face again. ]

This is Suguro Ryuuji, Exwire, Tokyo Division, reporting--

[ But he stops and frowns, grumbling. ]

--Screw it. If there's anyone here from home, let me know you're alright.

[ BLIP goes the screen. He's going to be chilling in the plaza. ]

Comments

[secondcoolest]

Yeah, I know Rin. Why?

[f8tal]

Don't look so scared! It's not a bad thing~ He's a pretty cool guy.

Kinda dull in the thinkpan, but a good guy.

[secondcoolest]

[ Spoiler: he sort of always looks like this.

Or pissed.

Scared or pissed.

Pretty much it.

Also going to just go on gut instinct here and assume thinkpan means the brain. ]

...Guess you do know him too, then. Still not thinking things through first, I'm guessing.

[f8tal]

[Good gut instinct.]

He's got good intentions, but I'm pretty sure they're gonna cost him an arm and a brother--

Oh, I meant leg! [Laughs.]

[secondcoolest]

[ It's saved his ass a couple of times now.

But his eyes narrow by a few degrees as he looks at her. ]

What's that supposed to mean.

[f8tal]

What's what supposed to mean?

[secondcoolest]

An arm and a brother?

[f8tal]

I said leg! Didn't you hear me correct myself?

[secondcoolest]

I'm not Okumura.

[ He may not look it but he's the smart one of the group okay. ]

That wasn't a slip of the tongue.

[f8tal]

Hmmmmmmm.

[Private]

Can you keep a serket?

[secondcoolest]

[ Wait hold on you're doing things he hasn't come across yet.

...Okay. There. Private feed. ]

A secret? Of course.

private

[f8tal]

[There you go, Bon. Her amused expression flickers for a moment before she sighs.]

If you're reeeeeeeeally his friend then you should know he's been really stressed lately about a lot of stuff. Admittedly, I don't know what about, but it would probably be great if you could- I'unno, be there for him or something.

I'm no good with helping people. Even the ones I kinda like! It's never worked out for me, I guess. So since you're his friend you should try and help him with whatever shit he's dealing with.

Think you can do that, nerd?

private

[secondcoolest]

[ Not the answer he was expecting.

There's a scowl at being called a nerd but it smooths over quickly enough, replaced by concern. He glances off camera somewhere before looking back. ]

Yeah, I'll... I'll definitely look out for him.

[ First because he's a friend. ...Second because we can't have him going nuts and demon'ing at everyone. ]

You never gave me your name.

private

[f8tal]

Good. Also, you better not tell him I said any of this! The last thing I need is for him to think I'm soft or something...

[Very small huff.]

It's Vriska! Vriska Serket.

private

[secondcoolest]

[ Don't worry, Vriska. Bon knows this archetype. Bon IS this archetype.

Which is why he's able to give a little smirk.

You have to care without it being obvious you care! ]

Don't worry, I'll keep it under lock and key.

private

[f8tal]

G- Good!

[Bon, you understand her...]

[New topic.]

So tell me what an exwire is!

private

[secondcoolest]

Right.

An Exwire is an exorcist rank. We're still students, but we're recognized by the Order and are able to help out on missions.

private

[f8tal]

The True Cross Order, right? [Since he's from Rin's place that means Mephisto's tied in there somewhere too.]

What kind of missions do you go on?

private

[secondcoolest]

Right.

[ He pauses, for a second, thinking about it. Truth be told, none of the missions they've personally done have been typical. ]

Usually Exwires take care of small things. Actually, most of the time we're not even really allowed to do much except fetch things for the ranked exorcists. But for small jobs. Demonic possession, minor hauntings, things like that.

private

[f8tal]

So you kill demons, but let them fight for you too?

prviate

[secondcoolest]

It's not uncommon for half-demons to become exorcists. As long as they're able to retain their humanity, they can actually be a pretty huge asset.

prviate

[f8tal]

[She looks like she's thinking about something before actually talking. What a shocker.]

Full demons too?

prviate

[secondcoolest]

Full?

[ blink blink ]

...Haven't heard of any, but I guess it could happen. They'd be watched like a hawk.

prviate

[f8tal]

[Mephisto, you dog.]

Yeah I bet! Wouldn't want something like that to get out of hand.

So what was that stuff you were spewing about earlier? About the bible and verses and whatnot.

prviate

[secondcoolest]

Demons are divided up into different classes and types. When you know what that is, you can narrow down what gets rid of them. The vast majority are susceptible to what are known as fatal verses, which are passages from the Bible or holy scriptures.

[ Pause. ]

Uh... the Bible is the book for Christians. Not really sure what kind of religion aliens have...

Anyway, that's one of the things I specialize in. One of the meister classes I'm going for is Aria, and they utilize script.
