The Demi-Fiend returns!

[demifemme]

Who: Shura and OPEN
Where: Apartment building in Pisces
Summary: Shura tries to go back to her apartment from the Hospital.
Warnings: None so far!


Fortunately, the trip between Caduceus Hospital and the Visitor's apartment building in Pisces was a short one. Wheelchair-bound as she was now, thanks to trying to fight her Shadow, Shura didn't think she could have taken the humiliation of a longer trip. In addition to that, Hinoto-Ri itself had not really been designed for people who couldn't run. Getting in and off the tram was a pain, not to mention that to access an elevator, she had had to get off at the main station in Pisces and wheel herself all the way back to the apartments. Just as her still weak arms had about fallen off, she found herself in front of the building, and the five concrete steps leading to the main entrance. Fuck, she had forgotten about that. She honestly felt like crying, right now.

"It's way above, yeah. For one thing, I don't have to eat the demons I killed." Real food was something Shura missed dearly. "Also I can change clothes here, and there are toilets with toilet paper, and I can take a hot shower with soap and shampoo." ... that too.

[jonathandammit]

Yeah, that's probably a thing too.

"I was in a world with demons, myself... but it never became severe enough to spread across the Earth." At least, he hoped that it wouldn't.

[demifemme]

"Oh. It didn't really spread to all the Earth in my world either. The Earth was obliterated. Only part of Tokyo remains."

... what.

[jonathandammit]

'What' indeed.

"...That hardly sounds much better," Technically, that's Jonathan's world too. Not that he's exactly put it together. "My world's Tokyo is preserved, but under a large ceiling. There's only one other civilization in the world, which is where I hail from, the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado. It was built on top of the ceiling covering Tokyo."

[demifemme]

Shura looked at him suspiciously. Then again... "What remains of Tokyo closed in on itself to form a sphere with a sun inside. It's... probably worse."

[jonathandammit]

Hey, don't look at him that way! Which reminds him, how does she control her demons without a Gauntlet? Does she just beat them up until they listen?

That's closer than you think Jonathan

"I see... that bears the question, though- how did you survive? And control demons, for that matter."

[demifemme]

Shura blinks. Isn't it... kind of obvious? Oh right. Her markings are in Day Mode.

"I became a demon with a human heart. That's why I and the Demi-Fiend. Half a Fiend. Get it?"

1/2

[jonathandammit]

...The thing is, Jonathan has rather... bad experience with people-turning-demons. They seemed to still have a human heart, but one was Flynn's best friend, and another voluntarily turned himself into Dullahan before fighting them.

Excuse his staring.

2/2

[jonathandammit]

"...How did you become a the Demi-Fiend, then?"

She really does seem nice enough, and kinder than most Hunters in Tokyo already. Jonathan deduces that there's no reason to be wary yet.

[demifemme]

"Not really of my own will at first, I can tell you that much." She is still miffed about the circumstances of her turning into a demon. "Lucifer appeared to me when I lay in the dark after the end of the world and shoved a parasitic worm into my brain. And then he stole my favourite hoodie and bra."

[jonathandammit]

That doesn't help much.

"Lucifer...? Do you mean the Demon Lord Lucifer?" Jonathan's trying not to think too deeply, but someone being targeted directly by Lucifer is rather... shady.

[demifemme]

Honest, Jonathan, she hadn't done anything to deserve it! Lucifer is a dick like that.

"Yeah, him. He was bored and wanted to play dolls with a live human, and I was the 'lucky' pick."

[jonathandammit]

Oh, okay! That's believable to him, seeing that he lives in a country kick-started by angels and has only heard bad things about the fallen. "That's terribly unfortunate...

...Pardon, it must be quite rude of me to continue asking you questions without saying much about myself."

[demifemme]

Shura shrugged. "When you look like me, you get used to it. Even in my world I'm not a common sight. If you don't mind though, I'd like to get to my apartment and rest because I'm pretty tired."

[jonathandammit]

...Yeah. That.

"Oh! I'm sorry." He supposes he's taken a bit too much of her time, anyway. As odd as she is... "I'll see you another time, then?"

[demifemme]

"Definitely," she says with a small smile. "I'll want to know more about your adventures in summoning."
