[Looks like someone finally decided to use his SFC! Since arriving he almost forgot he had it. Too wrapped up in exploring his new situation.

Some may find he looks familiar to a certain half-demon hot head, but their differences become more evident after a second glance, like his obviously older appearance and red eyes.

For someone relatively new he looks pretty relaxed.]

This feels like something out of a children's book. What was that story about the city under the sea? Or maybe it was washed away by the sea... Oh well!

So tell me, guys and gals- What's there to do around here? I figure if I'm gonna take an unwanted vacation I should at least check out the locals' recommendations, yeah?

Who the hell're you.

[Eyebrow quirk.] That's rude. Who are you?

[secondcoolest]

You're answering the questions first.

[...Okay that's weird. She takes off her glasses for a moment and wipes them off on her sleeve to make sure she's not seeing things.

Nope, hasn't changed once she puts them back on. So she peers closer at the video feed. Looks like Rin, but doesn't sound like Rin, too old to be Rin. Too inexperienced to be Rin as well; come on, Rin would know they're not locals and the locals don't talk.]

The story you are referring to might be Atlantis, but this is definitely no shining kingdom or whatever. Uhhh...you basically do whatever you want around here, you might as well, everything is free.

[That attire, though. Those eyes.]

If I am guessing correctly, you might be familiar with demons and exorcists. I might even go as far to say that you are a demon but I cannot judge by eye color alone. Am I hitting any marks?

[darkasnight]

[Color him surprised. He even looks a little stunned, but the look disappears quickly and is replaced by a casual smile.]

I'm an exorcist, yes. So you recognize my jacket, huh? I assume that means there might be other exorcists here? [Gonna avoid that last part for now.]

[spacecase]

Yes, though they are student exorcists--what did Ryuuji call them?--Exwires.

Also this might be a thing that comes up a lot. But you look scarily like a grownup version of one of them, so...sorry in advance for anyone acting weird around you?

[Looks like he isn't the only one with a face twin.]

It's equally as lame as children's book as well. Not much you can do here aside from interesting people to pass the time with.

[darkasnight]

I dunno, I've read pretty awesome kids' books before. [A shrug.] Interesting how?

[halfhearted]

If they have anything to do with princesses I might be able to introduce you to someone with the same tastes. [A pause.] Like a half demon who has a nudist for a cat and a loud girlfriend. There are also these losers in black coats missing their hearts.

[spiria]

There's something familiar about you ... I can't put my finger on it, but it's definitely there.

[ is she trollin'? who knows. ]

[darkasnight]

Let me take a stab in the dark here and assume you might know some kid named Okumura Rin?

video;

[spiria]

Oh, yeah. That's what it is. He's my little brother.

So are you a secret triplet? Can I add another little brother to my collection?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

[...He looks like Rin. Family?]

If you're used to fighting you can join the Defense Force.

But we're not locals.

[Video]

[darkasnight]

[That would make a lot of sense, but nope.]

Defense Force? [Hmm.]

Oh yeah, I figured as much! I mean I noticed the difference between the real locals and well... everyone else here.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

We work to protect everyone here from threats, internal and external. It's mostly patrols at the moment, but there are times we're called on to do more.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[...does Rin have a facetwin in addition to an actual twin? Huh.]

It's- not really much like a kid's book.

What kinda stuff are you looking for?

[Video]

[darkasnight]

What would you describe it as then?

[A shrug.]

Things to pass the time with. I'm not particular!

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

...maybe like a dream. One that's bad sometimes.

[He scratches his head.]

I like going up to the island. They've got good ice cream here, too.

video; I assume... things?

[pierrotdemonique]

I believe you'll find the city is a veritable cornucopia of opportunity.

[ A small smirk, resting his head on his hand. The look on his face is as knowing as always. ]

Of course, if you know where to look, I guarantee you'll never be bored.

video; assume many things

[darkasnight]

Both bad and good opportunities, I hear.

[He's never seen Mephisto before, but there's a twisting in his gut that tells him he's missing something here.]

Got any good starting points for a newcomer like me?

video; /makes an ass out of us both

[pierrotdemonique]

[ Good instincts, kiddo. ]

Of course, of course. As is any plane of existence. Balance of the world, surely you understand.

[ And a pause. ]

I haven't gone up myself but I've heard there was a beach at the end of that elevator.

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[blink, blink. You look... like Rin.]}

Um... there isn't much to do here, I'm afraid.

[video]

[darkasnight]

[So he's heard!]

Really? [Frown.] What do you do for fun, then?

voice;

[machiavellingly]

It seems you misunderstand your arrival.

[His tone is pleasant but he's not showing his face over the network.]

This is a prison -- not a get-away and you're not leaving anytime soon. I've heard there are various things to do around the city to keep you entertained... but even then, [He exhales, it sounds like he's tapping his fingers on something.] Well. There's only so much you can do when you're trapped.

video

[darkasnight]

So I take it you're a 'glass is half empty' kind of guy, huh?

[He shrugs.] I get that I'm trapped and there's little I can do about it, but kicking and screaming over the hopelessness of my fate won't help me much either. Might as well try to enjoy my time here.
