[Closed] Looking for demons...

[blessed_by_the_world]

Who: Akane Awakusu blessed_by_the_world  and Judas Iscariot silvercoins 
Where: Capricorn District
When: Monday night
Summary: Akane has agreed to help a newbie get their persona, so it's time to aggro some demons in the park.
Warnings: Demon fighting, action brackets because I'm lazy



[Akane arrives early, toting along her modified stun gun, and a backpack because she's heard demons leave behind money or items sometimes. It never hurts to be prepared. She's trying hard to look nonchalant but she's still a little nervous. Hopefully they won't encounter anything too strong. She finds a bench near the entrance to the park and sits down to wait.]

Comments

[silvercoins]

Th-thank you. [Judas raises his stick and Zagan raises his staff at the same time. In the same motion, Zagan brings it crashing down on the waira.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[That last hit finally finishes it off. Once it's clear that the monster isn't getting up again, Akane breathes a long sigh of relief. Then she rushes over to Judas.]

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

[She only just realized what a dangerous position she's put him in. If something had happened to him, it would have been her fault.]

[silvercoins]

Not really...

[Well, he might be a little sore, but that's not his main concern right now.]

These things represent us?

[blessed_by_the_world]

Huh?

[Not the answer she was expecting. But she tries to answer anyway.]

Well, I think so. Or, at least, some part of us. Because I'm not much like a lucky god.

[She says that last bit with a small smile. When she looked up her persona in the library, she'd been just a little surprised.]

[silvercoins]

They had to pick my worst part.

[Judas sighs.] Do you want to go back?

[blessed_by_the_world]

Worst part....?

[She gives him a concerned frown, but nods.]

Okay.

[silvercoins]

Thank you.

[He bows a little stiffly.]

Without you who knows what would have happened.

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She looks away.]

Don't thank me. Without me you wouldn't have been out here fighting demons in the first place....

[And something about his persona upset him somehow. She's not sure what, but... she still feels guilty for making him sad.]

Sorry...

[silvercoins]

It'll be- it's alright. So, let's just go back. Okay?

[He can't afford to make anyone else upset.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She nods, and follows him in silence for several minutes. She knows something is wrong. And that it has something to do with his persona.

But what? When she finally speaks up, her voice is small, hesitant.]

Are you... really okay?

[silvercoins]

I'll be fine. [Future tense. He looks back at her.] I'm sorry to upset you.

[blessed_by_the_world]

No, it's okay, but...

[She looks up at him, still unconvinced.]

We... we can still be friends, right?

[silvercoins]

[Blinkblink.] Of course we can. I'm not upset at you.

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She lets out a sigh of relief.]

Good. I thought you might be mad because I dragged you out here and it was dangerous.

[Smiling again, she grabs his hand and starts heading back toward the apartments.]

Let's go.

[silvercoins]

[He curls hims fingers in hers and lets himself be lead.]

I think gentlemen drop ladies off first...

[blessed_by_the_world]

Okay~

[Her fears of losing her new friend assuaged, she feels pretty good about how the evening went.]

I'm in the Pisces apartments. Room five-oh-seven. It's next to the greenhouse!

[silvercoins]

Oh, you're on the floor beneath me. I'm six-oh-seven.

[Though shortly after this he moves in with Zoe in eight-oh-three.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Really? Then we're neighbors!

[Well he'll still be in the same building, even after he moves.]

[silvercoins]

I'll try not to play loud music and keep you up at night.

[This is a joke. Or at least an attempt at one.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She giggles.]

That's okay! If you are, I'll just be loud right back.

[Also joking.]

[silvercoins]

That seems fair.

[blessed_by_the_world]

But I don't know if our other neighbors will see it that way.

[silvercoins]

You can't please everyone all the time.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Well, then I guess they can be loud too. It's only fair.

[silvercoins]

That's a good philosophy.

[Though it really isn't his.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Maaaybe.

But it's probably just better if we don't be really loud in the first place.

[silvercoins]

I guess if you insist.

[blessed_by_the_world]

[Akane was about to answer, but then notices the apartments coming into view.]

Well, here we are. It's getting sort of late, so I'd better get to bed. But we should hang out again sometime, okay?

[silvercoins]

Alright. Take care of yourself until then, please.

[blessed_by_the_world]

I will! Good night!

[She waves to him and runs off into the building.]
