[ 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. ]

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
[Very small huff.]
It's Vriska! Vriska Serket.
private
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
[Bon, you understand her...]
[New topic.]
So tell me what an exwire is!
private
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
What kind of missions do you go on?
private
[ 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.

What a shocker.]Full demons too?

[ blink blink ]
...Haven't heard of any, but I guess it could happen. They'd be watched like a hawk.
prviate
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
[ 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.
prviate
So you were really going to recite an entire book at me? That's some dedication! Color me impressed.
prviate
It would've taken a while--[ read: forever ]--but, yeah, eventually, I would've recited the whole thing.
[ After taking drink breaks. And like... naps. ]
prviate
Is that all you can do? I would think if you were in a battle and I were really a demon I would just want to rip your tongue out so you couldn't talk anymore.
It leaves you kinda open.
prviate
But, no, that's not all I can do. I'm also training to be a Dragoon.
[ ... ]
They're the heavy artillery division, basically. Guns, flame throwers, holy water grenades...
prviate
[She blinks.] That sounds soooooooo much cooler! Wow.
You're shaping up to be a real solider, huh?
prviate
[ SHRUG
hell yeah he's so cool]prviate
Do you think you'll win?
prviate
I'm not sure this is a war that'll ever have an ending. I mean... defeating Satan would stall it out for a while, sure, but it'd probably just be a matter of time before another one rose up to take his place.
So the best that we can hope for is to... keep people safe.
prviate
So then what's the point? It just seems so... so depressing! You fight and fight and for what? To save a few people? What about all the people you lose on the battlefield?
[She runs a hand through her hair. It was getting long ago, thankfully.] If you think you can solve a problem by fighting it, trust me. It doesn't work for very long. [She would know first hand.]
prviate
[ And that's what's important, here. If the exorcists just gave up, the demons would win, and then there'd be nothing left. People would die, civilizations would crumble... ]
And this way, people get to keep living their lives, unaware that the thing that goes bump in the night? Actually exists.
prviate
How old are you anyways?
prviate
[ SHRUG ]
Sixteen.
