Gato Community College. (game thread)

[Outcast107]

Tomas took the information given by Alexander and ponder about it. While he still want to help to put a stop to a rogue demon. He didn't know if they were up to the task yet. While William had a few question he needed to ask.

"I..I have a few q-questions.." William spoke, though his voice came out of the robot. "D-does this mean you track him in Japan? Or does this mean we are being sent out to a place that is known to be demon hide outs?" As he asked this, he was glad he wasn't anywhere near the actually meeting.

He really never dealt with a demon before besides the ex-demon Sierra, Juliet, and Seth. Though they didn't seem like the blood crazed demon he used to reading about. At least from he seen from them so far.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

Daniel had to admit, he was impressed as to how Jarrah handle himself there during the presentation, the young Yowie had certainly done his homework regarding Demonology. Of course, a lot of this Daniel had already known, but current knowledge regarding the ruling heads of the four provinces was most helpful; though he suspected Seth gave him a hand on that last part.

After Jarrah it was the turn of the panther demon Alexander from the other day to speak. His speech was mostly about the demon in question that the cultists were in league with. Vyrlian. The name was unfamiliar with him. At first glance he looked to be a rather hardy demon, especially so if he could withstand crossbow bolts that were equivalent to the ammunition used in chain-guns, and the lightning magic would be an obstacle best left avoided at all costs.

When it came to talk of Queen Rozalin, that was a name the angel recognised. He remembered an occasion when two lesser angels were talking about a demon they had recently interrogated. The hellspawn spoke of a great and powerful Queen, who had laid waste to legions of demons singles handedly; the name Rozalin had been tossed about a couple of times. Later on, Daniel had looked into the stories to see if they were true, and sure enough they were.

If those stories still held weight, then a single Lieutenant shouldn't be too much of a problem.

 

[Athol]

Viktor sat quietly while Jarrah and the cat-demon spoke. Some of the information Jarrah provided he already knew, but there was quite a bit that was new to him. Got to ask him to give me a copy of his notes. He thought. Looking at Seth as Jarrah spoke, he surmised the demon was the source of the information.

While Alexander started talking about 'Demigra' or Vyrlian, or whatever the pain in his ass was calling himself, he let out a low whistle at the mention of it shrugging of the equivalent to 30mm cannon fire. I should see if the Juggernaut Program was ready for a field test?assuming there is time to get it here.

? Any questions so far?"

?I?ve got a couple, Mr. Whiskers.? He said, raising a hand slightly. ?Firstly, those ?anti-armour? bolts. Were they augmented with any anti-demonic properties, or was in purely damage amplifying enchantments? Secondly, you mentioned ?Lillian? was a lieutenant for old ?Lucy?. How certain are you that he?s gone wolf?s head? Could he be acting as a cat?s paw for someone higher up the food chain? Get us looking left, while his boss goes right??

 

[Lunar Templar]

"I..I have a few q-questions.." William spoke, though his voice came out of the robot. "D-does this mean you track him in Japan? Or does this mean we are being sent out to a place that is known to be demon hide outs?"

"IF, he has Terra-formed his lair then, logically, it has been shielded to prevent outside sources from detecting it. Other wise it would as difficult to miss as the sun on a hot, clear, day." Alexander started "So you will be performing reconnaissance. Go in, confirm the Aether density and confirm he's there, then report back, and clear out. If the Aether density is normal for Earth or at the level of Limbo, you are free to sweep and clear." Alexander said.

"I've already got the amulets you'll need for Demon Realm levels of Aether on the way, they will be here later this evening." Seth cut in. "Also, since we now know who we're hunting we can narrow down the places where he and Mira are hiding and eliminate them."

"I've got a couple, Mr. Whiskers." Viktor said, raising a hand slightly. "Firstly, those 'anti-armour' bolts. Were they augmented with any anti-demonic properties, or was in purely damage amplifying enchantments? Secondly, you mentioned 'Lillian' was a lieutenant for old 'Lucy'. How certain are you that he's gone wolf's head? Could he be acting as a cat's paw for someone higher up the food chain? Get us looking left, while his boss goes right?"

Alexander sighed in slight annoyance as the vampire refereed to him as 'Mr. Whiskers'. "Well, human, mostly damage enhancements. Specific 'anti-demon' weapons, like the ones I assume your referring don't work nearly as well as in the Demon realm as you'd think, to much 'interference' from the Aether in the air." he replied then thought a moment "Hmm, it is possible he is working with another, but I can say with absolute certainty. He is not taking orders from the Tainted Angel. Her highness slew him ate his heart, and now uses his wings as a decoration for her throne."

Really? Viktor thought, raising the eyebrow over his good eye. ?Human? was the best insult you could come up with? He did have to chuckle at Lucifer?s apparent fate though. ?If it?s as you say, and Lucifer has been reduced to some wall decorations, somebody should tell the Vatican?they might want to update that book of theirs?s.? Going back to the issue at hand, he drummed his fingers against the couch. Assuming ?Juggernaut? isn?t ready for a field test, I?ll need to see about upping my stock of ?enhanced? rounds?should see about getting enchanted gear for the whole team; you can never stack the deck too much in you favour.

"I've already got the amulets you'll need for Demon Realm levels of Aether on the way, they will be here later this evening. Also, since we now know who we're hunting we can narrow down the places where he and Mira are hiding and eliminate them."[/b]

We're going where?

Sol snapped awake. Well, it felt like that, though it was more him opening his eyes and sitting up. He had been paying attention to the talking, at least, he thought he had, but it wasn't before now he saw a reason to react.

"If it's as you say, and Lucifer has been reduced to some wall decorations, somebody should tell the Vatican...they might want to update that book of theirs's."

"The bible isn't exactly a guide to hell and all the bad guys," Sol remarked, stretching a bit as he sat up. "They don't need to update anything, because it's a book written by people thousands of years ago. Besides, it's outdated enough, anyone looking for anything but vague guidelines on morals or historic people are looking in the wrong place. God's words and all that, it was still written by humans." He sat up a bit, perhaps it was just his beliefs being mentioned, but he couldn't help but correct the assumptions made by Viktor.

Don't tell me I'm turning into one of those guys.

He sort of doubted it, but still made it clear that he wasn't trying to give anyone a lecture.

"Also, believe me, the Vatican knows, though if you'd want to make sure, I have some of their hunters' numbers in my phone," he grinned. His grin becoming a forced down yawn, he rubbed his eyes.

"Anyways, more importantly, when you say that there's amulets made for the demon realm... who exactly is going? Because I'm not sure I'm cool with going there. I'm already trying to be good enough not to go to hell, sex and drinking and hunting and all that, I certainly don't need to get there quicker."

Lenah

Lenah wasn't really listening when Jarrah or the kitty-cat spoke, she was busy fuming over the fact that Seth hadn't corrected his mistake. It didn't help that Sol was almost slobbering on her shoulder. She wasn't entirely sure if he was awake for all of it. Either that, or he was just very good at relaxing, the man was like jelly right now. Long, soft jelly that she couldn't bring herself to be angry with, but that certainly didn't help her mood either.

"I've already got the amulets you'll need for Demon Realm levels of Aether on the way, they will be here later this evening. Also, since we now know who we're hunting we can narrow down the places where he and Mira are hiding and eliminate them."

"Typical," Lenah muttered to herself, biting her lip. Next to her, Sol woke up, first to give a rather sleepy lecture on the bible, then to say that he didn't want to go to the demon realm. That much she could understand, not because she wouldn't have given a limb to go herself, but because he was a human. A normal human with no powers. From what she had understood, hunters dealt with issues in their own environment, not elsewhere.

Don't think he was expecting any trips to the demon realm when signing up for this.

Honestly though, none of this was was her business, and she proceeded to playfully wink towards Jarrah instead, giving him a thumbs up for his presentation. She was sure it had been good, and he seemed like he needed a little encouragement every now and then.

 

[IFS]

Juliet did her best to hide her boredom throughout the meeting, much of this was old news to her. Watching some of the others digest the information brought some small measure of amusement at least, particularly Will who seemed rather unnerved by the idea of going up against demons. Granted I'm not fond of the idea of fighting them myself, but then I'd rather handle things more subtly.

She had to roll her eyes at Viktor's joke on hearing about the fate of old Lucy, he had never really been mentioned in the 'good book' after all, but then she doubted Viktor had ever read the thing anyways. The suggestion that there was someone higher up orchestrating things was somewhat intriguing though, demons rarely were alone in their schemes after all, even if they weren't aware of who else was scheming alongside them.

She supposed she should ask some question though, if only to remind people she was still here "What effect will wearing one of these amulets have on me?" she asked "after all I shouldn't need one to withstand the Aether."

After all she'd spent the majority of her life in the demon realms, its atmosphere held little in the way of danger for her.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Seth sighed internally at Sol's confusion of who was going where. "No one is going to the Demon Realm. You, as in the whole team, will very likely be going into a place with an Aether Density and Atmosphere of the Demon Realm, which is not out side the realm of possibility." Seth said before turning to Juliet.

"If you've spent most your life in the Demon Realm before coming to Earth you should be fine, it's only those born and raised on Earth that will need to wear one."


"You two keep mentioning 'Aetheric Density', what kind of effect would this have on us if we didn't have these amulets?" Sierra asked. "Given the amount of Aether in the air in the Demon Realm is akin to being submerged into a large body of water, you can expect ether death, or to be warped into some kind of demon your selves." Seth Answered.

Alexander looked distracted for a moment before refocusing on the group. "Her highness would use the term 'Aetheric Evolution', but then she has spent the better part of the last three century's researching the effects of Aether on living tissue and the soul that resides there in."

"If there are no other questions." Seth started.

"I have something to add." Sierra cut in, as the the robot lifted up off the table, and deployed the six red cylinders stored in the binders on the back. these cylinders opened up on the back and a little numb poked out in the front. "As you all know, our team was divided up and went on two missions." Sierra said as the robot hovered above Alexander "Our park team recovered more then just the objective. They recovered a partly spent magazine of small caliber rounds. Those same bullets that where used against the school, and since I've had a bunch of free time the last few days I started examining it." Sierra continued as four more Robots [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/unicorn-ova/rgz-95-bunit-gr.htm] came out and flew into the kitchen, grabbed a cookie sheet, brought it in front of every one where the cylinders then shot beams into it, etching some lines into the sheet. "I found this etched into the side of it. Near as I can tell it's some kind of code, or language, but I haven't been able to find anything on it anywhere."

Alexander, just sat there, his expression didn't change but the look in his eyes said that something was defiantly up.

[figment of mind]

Mirabelle sat still as the others talked, with Jarrah giving a presentation, this 'Alexander' talking about a target that they were supposed to go after, and the subsequent banter between them all about the Vatican and such. She didn't bother them while they did that, mostly because she already figured that it wouldn't stop them...and also because she currently couldn't come up with any real questions for the two demons. Still, what was said was worthy of note and actually interesting in some places...she just needed to take her time processing the info and this refrained from talking.

...until Sierra brought up the bullet that is.

 "As you all know, our team was divided up and went on two missions. Our park team recovered more then just the objective. They recovered a partly spent magazine of small caliber rounds. Those same bullets that where used against the school, and since I've had a bunch of free time the last few days I started examining it. I found this etched into the side of it. Near as I can tell it's some kind of code, or language, but I haven't been able to find anything on it anywhere."

It took mirabelle all of her will just to not jump up and tell Sierra to stop. She knew that such information could be important...but at the same time, she figured that there was a more tactful way to inform them...or at least a way to tell them that didn't risk getting Mira in trouble with Seth. After all, all he had to do was ask just who on the park team had given or handled the bullet and boom, there goes the rest of their collection of bullets. She just hoped that the information that Sierra was presenting was distracting or otherwise interesting enough to let the details like the park team having them slide past the demons without much notice.

On the bullets themselves, she had notice the markings as well when she was studying them. She, however, didn't attribute all of their abilities and killing power to that alone, figuring that it was more sensible to divy up or add redundancies to the whole of the bullet than just carve a few words on there and call it done. Still, she figured that the writing would still be a major, if not main, component so she sat back and listened to what the demons would have to say on the subject.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"No one is going to the Demon Realm. You, as in the whole team, will very likely be going into a place with an Aether Density and Atmosphere of the Demon Realm, which is not out side the realm of possibility." Said Seth in response to a question posed by a suddenly awake Solomon; the hunter looked as though he either had a rough night, or a real good one.

"If you've spent most your life in the Demon Realm before coming to Earth you should be fine, it's only those born and raised on Earth that will need to wear one." He then added, responded to a question that Juliet had asked; which made Daniel think about his own resistance towards the Aether.

If we had been going to the Angelic Realm, I would have no need of such an item. However, given that the Aether operates differently in the Demon Realm that what I'm normally used to, it wouldn't hurt to have some protection.

Then it appeared that Sierra had something to say. That the team had earlier been split into two, each with a separate mission. Those that were deployed to the park had recovered a partially spent magazine of small calibre rounds alongside their main objective, and that these were the bullets that Regalia had used to attack the College with.

As a result of her examination, she uncovered something that had been engraved onto the side, and through the use of her robots and a cookie sheet, had drawn out the engravings. It took Daniel a couple of seconds to get a good look at the symbols, but the language was familiar, he remembered seeing them on some ruins back in the Angelic Realm, recalling who they belonged to, made him very much concerned.

How did Regalia get a hold of something of like this? He asked himself.

 

[Knife-28]

Jarrah was glad that they were doing little more than just finding the demon, Vyrlian and reporting his location, even if he did question the logic of having the Gungnir team do it, rather than any one of the demons under Rozalin and Riviera. Once again, the situation was one that had an uncountable amount of more qualified people (well, not people) that could solve it, something that left Jarrah subtly shaking his head.

He turned his head towards Sol (now awake, he noted) as he started talking about the Vatican, and noticed Lenah give him a wink and a thumbs up, which helped to lift his mood, just a little. Jarrah shot back a smile in return, then turned his attention to Sierra's own presentation, assisted by a number of robots.

"Our park team recovered more then just the objective. They recovered a partly spent magazine of small caliber rounds. Those same bullets that where used against the school, and since I've had a bunch of free time the last few days I started examining it. I found this etched into the side of it. Near as I can tell it's some kind of code, or language, but I haven't been able to find anything on it anywhere."

While not the most helpful or important of questions, Jarrah couldn't help but speak the first thing that came to mind; "How the hell do you get all of that on one bullet?"

 

[Outcast107]

Both William and Tomas wonder what it all meant, while Tomas was thinking of something else. Who would make such a bullet? Since mostly the demons had their own types of weapons and magic that using firearms is useless. He doubt that any humans would know such markings, at least he didn't think so. Why use it now if it such a huge threat to magical type creatures.

Sighing with little information Tomas decide to ask, "So..any leads on who might make such a bullet?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

"So..any leads on who might make such a bullet?"

"Not yet, but figuring out this Language I'm hoping I'll learn more" Sierra said then Snickered at Jarrah's outburst "probably some kinda computer controlled laser etcher, kinda like I used here."

Alexander was silent for a bit, but spoke up after a bit. "It's unlikely you will find anything in your library's." He started. "Her Majesty, Riviera, Favors her self a Scholar and Historian, and the ruins that littler her domain are her favorite objects of study. Markings such as these are found in such ruins. It should be also noted that due to information our sources in the Angelic Realm, they also have ruins with these markings, Earth how ever, does not seem to have these ruins."

"But that's off topic for now" Seth said cutting in. "Right now, I want you all to focus mission at hand." he said to the group before focusing on Sol, "and make sure you're rested." Seth just let that hang there for a moment before continuing "For the mission tonight. I will inform you all once the amulets have arrived. This ends the team meeting for now, we will reconvene latter this evening." Seth said before turning to the Robot Sierra was talking through.

"You should be resting, not working." he commented as the 'cylinders' closed back up and docked with the red robot. "But since you're nothing if not stubborn, You and Alexander should talk, see if Her Highness would be willing to share what she's learned. Sooner you decode this Language, or Code, or what ever it is, then sooner we can start to effectively counter it."


Later that evening

The amulets arrived, and as promised, Seth sent out the message to his team to meet back up and get ready to sortie.

 

[DarkRawen]

Solomon
"But that's off topic for now Right now, I want you all to focus mission at hand. And make sure you're rested."[/b]

Sol wasn't a fool, he knew he was the one being referred to. "Right right. Because this information was deadly important, and will surely help us," he said, mostly in jest. Sol smiled pleasantly, he meant no offence, but he saw no reason to have shown up. While information about demons, their habits and their weaknesses in the human world was important, he cared little for their politics. Sure, he'd like to know if they suddenly decided to invade, but other than that... nah.

Still, I suppose that's what I get for attending a monster school.

That, and a place to live more than a couple a days at a time. And classes, once he got to that point. Right now, however, sleep was still on his mind, and he could barely wait for Seth to say the magic words.

"For the mission tonight. I will inform you all once the amulets have arrived. This ends the team meeting for now, we will reconvene latter this evening."

"Gotcha. Bye, sweeties, have lovely days," Sol said as he stood up, still smiling but clearly on his way out of there. He had a bed waiting, and, if he was lucky, there would still be a little bit of warmth in it. Tearing his clothes off, he closed the door behind himself and removed clothes till he was completely undressed, before crawling underneath a soft, still sort of warm, duvet and falling asleep.

By the evening, Sol felt a lot better. He had slept almost the entire day, showered and put on a new change of clothes. So refreshing. For the remainder of the day, he had been in his bed, texting Luke and Elizabeth, though the latter hadn't replied for a while. He was worried, she hadn't exactly taken the news of his stay very well, being worried and bossy all at once. However, nothing felt better than finally being rested. God, he loved the bed, even if it could've been a little bigger, and the bedsheets he had chosen for it was amazing. So worth the money. He hummed happily as he sat down in the couch, ready for whatever the world could throw at him. Even missions to almost-but-not-entirely demon realms.

Lenah

"For the mission tonight. I will inform you all once the amulets have arrived. This ends the team meeting for now, we will reconvene latter this evening."

In the meanwhile, there's nothing for me to do. Time to get drunk, I suppose.

She did have some friends to catch up together with, and she had put it off too much. Still, Lenah rolled her eyes as Seth spoke, dismissing the group, and followed him as he headed outside. "Right. What about that guy of yours, that was supposed to call me? I told him where to find my mother, and he never called me back," she started, walking at a fast pace to keep up with him, ignoring the other demon altogether.

"I said I would help you if your guys found out who my father was, and I know my mother would've told you guys eventually... soooo?" She crossed her arms.

"When you find out, send me a message. You don't get to hide stuff from me, especially not regarding my father. If I find out that you have..." she smiled, sweetly. "Well, I suppose then I know that I should just let the gates die." With that, she walked off in order to calm down a little. Perhaps she was getting upset over nothing, but it kinda sucked not being able to do something fun when she first had to.

 

[Athol]

"For the mission tonight. I will inform you all once the amulets have arrived. This ends the team meeting for now, we will reconvene latter this evening."

Viktor sat quietly and listened while the meeting wrapped up; when Lenah snapped at Seth and left, he smiled to himself behind an impassive expression. ?Well since we?re done for now, I?ve got some calls to make.? He said aloud, getting to his feet.

Leaving the dorm, he followed after Lenah on an indirect route, checking every so often to see if he was being tailed. Once he was sure he wasn?t being followed, he made his approach. ?So,? He said, melting out of the crowd beside the nymph. ?I have a proposition for you; and I believe we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement.?

Now

Receiving his message from Seth, Viktor headed back to meet with the others. His meeting with Lenah had proved most fruitful; she?d been game to stick it to Seth from the word ?Go?, so his offer of sending his own sources out to find her father were just icing on the cake so to speak. That and a favour to be named at a later date, were all it took to get the nymph to quietly start feeding him everything she learned about these gates, and he could thing of a few interesting ways the Clan could but such info to use.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

With the meeting over, Daniel stayed at the Infirmary for a bit with Sierra and William, making a bit of light conversation before taking his leave, telling them that he'd back back at the college later this evening. Arriving back at the safe-house, Daniel began to make some preparations for what lay ahead; during the course of which he made a short update report to the Round Table, filling them in on what he had learned throughout the meeting.

When he mentioned the amulets and their protective properties towards the Aether, Daniel was advised to keep a hold of his and bring it back with him once the assignment was over; stating that having a more effective means of protection against the harmful Aether would be of considerable value to The Order's efforts, no doubt the research and development team would be thrilled with such a relic.

Afterwards, Daniel decided to get some rest; although given his Angelic biology he had little actual need for sleep, meaning he could effectively stay awake for exceedingly long period of time, much longer than the average human; it had been something that he'd picked up since arriving to Earth.

Here and Now

Shortly after getting a call Daniel made his way back to the College in addition to his playing cards, he had also brought along his sword. A couple days ago, he had been asked by Seth why he didn't stay on site with the others, based on the assumption that it'd save him time going to and from both locations and it would make it easier holding meetings; to which Daniel replied that there were rules he was following, and that it was easier and safer to make reports from the safe-house's location, though he hadn't ruled out the possibility of relocation to the College should the need arise.

Now at the College, Daniel made his way to the meeting room.

 

[Outcast107]

Tomas

With the meeting over, Tomas decided that he was off to both train and learn more about demons. At least to see if there was any more information he could learn about the effects of losing the amulets. He rather know everything there is to know about the enemy rather then rushing in blind.

He also wanted to do some research in finding out what the runes meant. Sending a text to Sierra to see if she could send him a picture of the runes in question to see what they meant.

William

William sighs a bit as he was glad that the whole thing was finally over now. Looking over at Sierra as he smile and ask if she would be alright if he left. He wanted to get a few things ready before tomorrow and he believed that it would take him a good while to do so. If Sierra didn't need anything else, William left and headed back to his dorm.

Wanting to train a bit in changing his form in the training area. While he was nervous as hell to be going into the unknown, it was his job now and the team would relay on everyone to do there part. Swallowing his fears down as practices a bit with the training dummies. Not stopping until it was close to night time.

Present

Both William and Tomas made there way to the meeting room. Both wanting to get there early and not be the last two to show up. Once in the room, they split up and took different spots to sit down at. Tomas a bit closer to the where everyone was at, while William held back a bit. Not wanting to be center of attention at all.

 

[figment of mind]

"Markings such as these are found in such ruins. It should be also noted that due to information our sources in the Angelic Realm, they also have ruins with these markings, Earth how ever, does not seem to have these ruins."

Mirabelle thought about that for a moment, wondering why that was and why Alexander felt the need to bring it up. Unfortunately, Seth cut him off on that, and she knew too little about both of the other realms to really together what be was getting at. Besides, the connection between them wasn't important, not nearly as much as the connection between the writing and Regalia.

Still, with the announcement that the meeting was over until Seth could get the amulets he promised and the passing over of her stash of the bullets, Mirabelle felt a little bit relieved. Though she may have had her concerns about this new mission, she was content to wait it out and actually see what the mission consisted of before she panicked about it or anything similar. In the meanwhile, all she could do was prepare herself and finish her new armor test...also, probably visit Sierra at some point as well, if not just to talk. With the end of the meeting and Lenah rushing off, angry about a deal or something with Seth (she's ask later...probably), Mira excused herself and headed back to her room to start where she left off on the Fleximetal suit.

The present

Mirabelle quickly walked back into the dorm and back into her room quickly. She had gone to visit Sierra...and may have gotten sidetracked a bit by the library and a subsequent rest in the garden to calm herself. Still, she did drop in to say hi before she headed back to the dorms for the briefing. She wondered for a second of the jaguar demon would be there again, suspecting that he may but ultimately pushing that aside as she entered her room and retrieved what she was looking for. She came out with her new Fleximetal armor, made with a scaled/chain mail arrangement that she hoped would make it more breathable and fabric-like. Hopefully they wouldn't need it but still, it wouldn't hurt to have it on hand to try. In hindsight, she wondered if she had been sub-consiously been inspired by Tomas's scaled form...but that nearly led to the speculative question of if she even had a sub-consious which she didn't need before a meeting, making her promptly abandon the thought.

Entering the room, she sat down in her spot from earlier and folded the armor over on itself like a shirt, letting the weight of the Fleximetal hold itself down, settling down for the meeting.

 

[DarkRawen]

Solomon

As more and more people arrived, Sol raised a hand.

"Hello dears," he said, with a chipper tone, before adding; "I'm sorry about being half asleep this morning. I had... business, to deal with, hunter business, kept me up all night." He leaned backwards, then looked at the horned amulet he already owned. For a brief moment, there was doubt in his expression.

"So... am I the only one who aren't too sure about this? I don't... Well, I've never been anywhere I'd need an amulet just to survive. well, an amulet that does something else than make me invisible." He smirked. "Perhaps that's just me, though. I wouldn't say I'm a coward, but the point of what I do is not being in a situation where I rely on something to survive, it's too risky. You always need a second plan, or a third, but it shouldn't be an actual plan, just an idea of what you're doing. Instincts..." he sighed, he was pretty much talking to himself at this point.

"Sometimes it feels like I never got past my newbie phase. Aaaanyways," he looked at the others again. "What'cha been doing today? Preparing? What kind of armour is that, Mira?"

 

[IFS]

Juliet

Juliet walked in perhaps somewhat late, considering how many of the others were already there. Still not too late to hear Sol asking a number of questions. Some directed at the others some just expressing nervousness. She supposed most of them would be nervous, walking into a demon realm was going to be quite a shock after all, even with those amulets to help them cope.

"Just relax," she said, taking a seat "having to wear something to survive somewhere is nothing new to you, you dress warm for the winter, dress light for the summer, wear boots when you go hiking, and wear a magic amulet when you visit a demonic realm."

She couldn't help but smirk at her own analogy, in some ways it fit, though of course comparing a demon's realm to cold weather was amusing to her.
