     It only made sense to him that if he was expected to fight and protect others in this city, then he had better figure out if there were any differences in doing battle here. The most obvious way to go about it was to experience it firsthand, even though he was sure that his guild members would have objected to his doing so alone.

     Still, Soujirou wouldn't be able to deny the slight thrill he felt in preparing to venture out at night. Even though he probably appeared oddly dressed in his full battle equipment, he was comfortable in it, as he felt a Level 90 Samurai should be. He had no problems walking around like this, especially given that Adventurers already had a much better stamina than they would have had in the Old World.

     He wasn't even sure he'd find anything around this Ward, and it wasn't as though the guide that Kotoha had shown him had said much about demons other than that they were around this mysterious "13th Hour." He doubted they had particular respawn points...

     Pausing, Soujirou had to laugh at himself as he realized he was slipping into game-thinking again. He tapped a knuckle against his head with a sigh. "I guess even with the surroundings being so different, I still can't help but think I'm in a game," he said to himself, glancing down at his gear with a muted smile.

     Not a second later, the easy expression had faded as he tensed, his hand slipping to one of the two katana sheathed at either side of his waist. Was that a noise, just now? The skies had long since turned that strange if not disturbing shade of red. At the very least, the samurai knew he wasn't the only one out here.

     That will earn Phantom Girl a slightly blank look as Soujirou tries to piece that together. "...huh..."

     It kind of makes sense, if he doesn't try to think about it too much. "Maybe it's kind of like overskills..." he murmurs, more to himself than out loud.

[phantom_envoy]

"...Anyway. Don't think about it too much." She gives a slight shrug. "Now that you can use your Soul Persona, you can use others, too - you have to... rent them out in this place called the Velvet Room. I've never bothered; I don't really need much more than Mercury besides my own powers."

[swordsaintseta]

     "You're probably right," he laughs, scratching the back of his head with his free hand. "...there's others? I think I'll just worry about my own for now." The idea of renting such things sounds a little odd, but then they were in an odd city...

[phantom_envoy]

"When in doubt, just remember the important thing -- don't get killed."

Good advice for everyone.

"OK -- which floor are you on?"

They've hovering outside the apartment building now.

[swordsaintseta]

     "Heh, no arguments there!" Very good advice.

     Soujirou glanced at the building then. "Oh, um...the tenth floor, I think. -yes." He nods, fairly sure of himself, although he figures it won't kill him to take the stairs if he ends up wrong.

[phantom_envoy]

"Alright. Close your eyes if you care about privacy; we're about to go through some random person's room."

And before there can be any protests, Phantom Girl will dart forward and phase them both through said Random Person's Room.

[swordsaintseta]

     "Eh?"

     Oh, hello wall. He clamps his hand over his eyes, whether due to Phantom Girl's suggestion or the fact that they're going through a wall, who can say? "Please excuse us..!" Soujirou can't help but blurt as they pass through the room, just in case someone happens to be in there.

[phantom_envoy]

"...Wow that would have been super creepy."

Phantom Girl sounds vaguely amused as she sets him down in the hallway.

"I also made us invisible so all anyone would have heard was some random disembodied voice sounding embarrassed. Good thing no one was there."

[swordsaintseta]

     Slowly he lowers his hand, blinking in confusion. "-oh, you did? Ahahah... I guess that would have been a little strange!" he laughs.

[phantom_envoy]

"...Anyway."

She gives a shrug.

"I'm heading back to my room, too. If you have any more questions, feel free to call."

[swordsaintseta]

     "Ah, I'll do that. Thank you again, Phantom Girl." Soujirou faces her to give a more formal bow at that. "It was an interesting evening!"

[phantom_envoy]

Phantom Girl gives another small curtsey before unceremoniously dropping through the floor.

"Catch you later!"

[swordsaintseta]

     Regardless, it still has it's own flare when it comes to an exit. Waving as the girl vanishes through the floor, Soujirou turns once he's left alone in the hall again. Well, it's been an exciting night, but it's always a little sad when the party breaks up after an outing.

     Sighing, he turns to his door to let himself into his room.

     Dear Nazuna; some interesting things happened to me tonight. I didn't die, so that's a plus, but I guess I still have a lot to learn around here. I hope everyone's doing all right, and I promise that I'll do my best here, with hopes that I'll be able to see you all again...
