bah, humbug

Who: Naoya and OPEN.
Where: Near the border of the Gemini and Cancer districts.
Summary: Naoya hates Christmas. He decides to take it out on some demons during the thirteenth hour.
Warnings: Naoya being a jerk is always a warning. Devil Survivor spoilers, if you care about those at all.

Naoya hated Christmas. He hated all of the fuss around it and most of all he hated the fact that he was so conflicted about it. On the one hand he couldn't help but smirk that the religious message had gotten lost in the consumerism, but on the other hand the religious message that still stuck bugged him.

He'd never been fully able to figure out exactly what was going on with Jesus anyway.

Rather than spend the night sulking at home though, he decided to sulk outside. He had his coat with him in case the weather took another sudden turn, and he summoned Coyote to walk alongside him once he reached the edge of the Gemini district.

At the thirteenth hour, he grinned, turning to look at the demons starting to wander the street. A few fairies made a move as if to attack him, and he nodded to Coyote, who leaped forward with an Arm Chopper.

There was no guarantee that the rest of the night would be so easy, however.

"Hm. What are your thoughts on philosophical devotion to the collective energy of all living things?" she asked.

"... I've heard the concept before. As long as you don't worship Yahweh - the name of the currently ruling god in my world - I don't really care what people worship."

He's seen it all before, pretty much.

"Never heard of him!" she said a little cheerfully. "The Force is what I know, and I can still feel it here as well as I could back home, so I'll stick with contemplating it, and not any particular person."

"Then as I said, I don't care." If someone wants to worship that, whatever.

"Were you out to do training as well?" 'Cause much as he likes Coyote he works better as support.

"The demons around Gemini tend to be the more mindlessly aggressive ones, so I was out here trying to cut down any who ranged too far," she said. "If you'd like to lend a hand..."

"I might as well. Coyote is less of a combat Persona, anyway. That's more of Cleopatra's domain."

"Master Vima and I will be glad to have you along," she replied. "Let's get to slaying demons, then."

[meaningdies]

"Vima? Is that your Persona?" Regardless, he summons Coyote to pad alongside him and keep an eye out.

Meetra nodded.

"Legendary Jedi and master of Battle Meditation Vima Sunrider," she said. "It's a little awkward having her image in my head since I met her in person, but she's very helpful."
