Please take off your shoes for the examination...

[drakenguard]

Who: Yamato Hotsuin, Ideo Hazama, and those who signed up for examinations (or who otherwise wants to get in on this if you missed it)
Where: Ideo's Swank Bachelor Pad For Two (And His Sister) Sagittarius Labs
Summary: Those with experience regarding demons, or are demonic themselves (or perhaps just weird), being called in to allow themselves to be prodded and poked and examined.
Warnings: You'll have to suffer from Yamato and Ideo's tender mercies.

After being subjected to the curtness of the Sagittarius Labs's chou-keshin receptionist, all those that have come to their assigned appointments will find themselves shuffled into a bland looking room, with uncomfortable stiff-backed seats and glossy out of date magazines on the small coffee table. There will also be that annoying clock that ticks just a bit too loudly and slowly for one's tastes, and that heavy silence that makes you whisper when you talk to people, even though there's no reason to.

Welcome to the Waiting Room.

After waiting for a few moments (or hours, depending on how early you came, and how delayed Ideo Hazama and Yamato Hotsuin were), you will be called in by Ceu to meet with one of the young geniuses. Prepare to be poked and prodded my friends, this is what you signed up for.

[OOC: Okay so basically we decided to do a catch all examination log, for those that are interested (as I know a few are). Me and Gaa split it up between us as well, so it's easier on us, and we can share the burden of tags. Who you will get is entirely random.

Again, only those that have experience with demons/are demonic themselves/or otherwise magical in some way can take part in this log. This is for SCIENCE]

"The yurine is the will of the city. She picks someone to defend the city from any threats that it runs into. That person is the Karas. Eko was the one before me, but he decided to try to wipe out humans because they wouldn't believe in the demons, so she picked a new one. Anyway, the Karas has a bunch of powers, including a few different forms - an armored knight, a jet, and a car."

His voice was totally deadpan while he was saying this, too. "The Karas' soul is locked in a treasure she gives them, and they can only use their powers when she allows them to."

'y^->ka. E|b/f hste hm. a/b. ka = xfrm. sg sep/b cfm.'

Those were the notes that Yamato scribbled down as Otoha spoke, his eyebrows furrowed together slightly in obvious thought.

"So, essentially, you have a form of contract with this Yurine. A will of the city, mm, I wonder if it is a ley line that evolved into a sentient entity..." he murmured, pausing his writing to look up at the other. "So your soul exists outside of your body, does it? Explain how, if you can."

[bakegarasu]

"I guess, though I didn't have much of a choice in whether I said yes or no." She wouldn't have picked someone whose soul would refuse, though...

"... I don't know. It just does. It's in an amulet. I hadn't run into anything even vaguely spiritual before I died, and even after I came back I wasn't doing this job long before I got dragged to a city like this one."

[drakenguard]

Yamato looked faintly disappointed. It was hard to find stable subjects of humans whose souls safely exist outside of their bodies. They usually went insane, or died, or mutated into some horrific abomination. He tapped his pen against the clipboard in thought.

"Let me ask, how do you feel? Have you encountered any negative effects with your soul existing outside your body?"

[bakegarasu]

"Not at all. It doesn't seem to affect me at all. I spent about a year in Vatheon like this and it didn't seem to change, either."

Then again Vatheon was weird... but it'd still cause effects if it was a problem, right?

[drakenguard]

Yamato blinked. What?

"Vatheon?"

[bakegarasu]

"A city that pulled people from different worlds like this one does. There's someone else from there in this city, too."

[drakenguard]

"So there are two dimensions that do this...?"

Yamato scrunched up his nose in thought, tapping his pen against the edge of his clipboard as his mind churned into overdrive. This was...very very interesting.

"Tell me everything about Vatheon."

[bakegarasu]

"It was a city under the sea, surrounded by a bubble. The locals worshiped a coral as their god, and the coral restored your energy if you touched it. There were 'curses' sometimes - at first we thought it was the coral itself, but later we found notes from scientists that suggested it might be their doing. Different stuff would happen - sometimes it'd be personality-based, sometimes your body would change. A few times people swapped powers. There was an elevator up to an island, but aside from that there wasn't any real idea of where in the world it was - if it was any world any of us would have recognized."

Hmm... what else...

"It was pretty peaceful, aside from the curses, actually."

[drakenguard]

"Hm..." Yamato pressed the end of his pen against his lips, his eyebrows scrunching together out of severe thought.

Vatheon; another dimension that sucked in people from multiple worlds. It sounded vastly different from Hinoto-Ri though. A giant coral, under the sea, curses...? Strange things happened here, but thankfully nothing to the extent of changing bodies or personalitie-

Well, that Scorpion event, but they hadn't had a repeat of that yet.

"This is very interesting information you have given me..."

[bakegarasu]

He guessed. It wasn't like he was very science-minded, so he didn't really know what to do with the information. He just sat quietly, waiting for Yamato to finish with whatever he was thinking of and tried not to fidget too much.

[drakenguard]

"Hm...I'm still interested in your soul existing separate from your body," Yamato said, "But you don't seem to know much about it yourself. Would you be willing to come back at a later date when I have the sufficient equipment to test it?"

[bakegarasu]

"That's fine." At least it wasn't him being called a freak for various other things. Honestly, it was a relief. "Just let me know when."

[drakenguard]

"I will call you in for a new appointment," Yamato smirked a little. "But in that time... please don't hesitate to explore the limits of your abilities, or note anything peculiar. Write it down. Ah, hold on, I need to give you some forms as well. I want to know more about those mechanical demons, so fill out as much information as you can about them on them."

He flipped through some of the papers on his clipboard, and tugged some free, holding them out for Otoha to take.

[bakegarasu]

Ew, forms. But he would try, at least. Hopefully you can read sloppy kanji. After taking the forms he just chuckled, though.

"I uh. I don't feel pain, by the way." Probably something he should mention.
