Oh, also. Does the digimon franchise exist in-world and if so how accurate is it? Like could our character be a digimon fan or would they know nothing about them?
@Psyker Landshark Machine/Cyborg Digimon are very limited, I'm afraid. This could be alleviated at later evolutionary stages, but for the time being, I want to go with a stronger fantasy aesthetic.


Any other banned digimon besides those types?
I'm always down for digimon if there's room for another person.
Hikari Kana


The blue demon watched, bemused, as Hikari caught her breath for a few moments. When she was finished and breathing normally again, she fell to the ground with her legs crossed and simultaneously raised her hand as if she were sitting in school waiting to be called on. However, she didn't wait for that to happen, as the moment she hit the ground she asked her question.

"Question! Why is your name 'Red' when you're blue?" There was genuine interest and slight confusion in her voice, but no trace of fear or malice. She didn't seem bothered by the blood on her shirt, nor the way that the two halves of the corpse that the other demon left behind were starting to fade away. To Hikari, this was like being a kid and meeting a new animal species for the first time, it was a moment of excitement! The demon just stared at her a moment before starting to laugh. When it stopped a few seconds later, it spoke up with amusement audible in its voice.

"It's not really any of your business why my name is what it is. But I like the enthusiasm! I'm sure we'll be great partners. But if we're going to be partners, I'd better know your name too."

"It's 'Hikari.'"

"Heh. Alright, I've memorized it. But don't going telling it to anyone else, telling a demon your name is dangerous."

"You're a demon?"

"Of course," Akane said, putting a hand on her hip and showing her teeth in a grin. "What did you think I am?"

"I dunno. I guess I figured you were a dragon, what with the 'Hei Long' and looking like one standing on two legs."

"Don't get it twisted, dragons in myths are based on demons of the same name. But that-" She stopped talking for a moment as something caught her eye. Akane walked over to the last bit of the goblin(?)'s body before it dissipated entirely. She picked up a small piece of paper that had fallen out of its belt. After reading it, she grinned again and went over to Hikari, handing her the flier. "Well, well. This oughta be fun, too!"

Hikari, who had been looking at her shirt when Akane had started walking, looked up from her now clean clothing to take the flier and read it. "The Messengers of Hope? What, was that thing a member?"

"It's possible, but it's more likely it was summoned by a human in that group. What do you know about them?"

"I've only really heard about them in passing. It's not that interesting of a name so I never payed any attention."

"Well start paying attention, because we're going to this meeting of theirs." Akane said after taking back the flier. "Get prepared to go on quite a trip, just in case things go the fun way. We don't want you running out of supplies. Bring a weapon, too. You might have to fight on your own."

"Wouldn't you just protect me?"

Akane laughed. "That's a good one. I'll try to keep you alive, but that's not the same as 'protecting,' so don't put too much faith in my desire to keep you breathing."

"Yeah, that's fair." Hikari replied as she stood up.

"Oh, and don't worry about not being able to see me. I'll be nearby." With that, Akane waved twice at the human and faded away.

Hikari blinked in surprise, then dutifully went back inside to begin preparing. Quite a trip, huh?



Sometime later, Hikari had packed a dufflebag with clothes and non-perishable food. She also had a courier's bag full of extra snacks, drinks, two charging cords for her phone, and a screwdriver and hammer alongside the fillet knife from her kitchen. Lastly, she had her pocket knife, phone, and a compass ready to put in her pockets. When she looked at the clock she found that she would still have plenty of time before she had to leave for Inokashira Park, so she ate a big dinner and took a quick shower before putting on her "trademark" outfit, filling it with the items she had set out and grabbing the two bags as she went outside.

She arrived at the park some time after Miyuki, though Hikari didn't notice the other girl. She hadn't heard Akane's voice since earlier, had she really followed her here?
Nyx found herself rushing between Lucian and Ryder at the behest of "Archer's" taking control of her body, whilst simultaneously chanting something under her breath that was too quiet for even her to hear. In an instant, two swords appeared in her hands, and she was between them, ready to fight.

"Hey, less talking, more running away!" came from her mouth without her meaning to say it.
"You're going to need medicine later, Roche."



Are casseroles supposed to be liquid?


“You, hrm, don’t eat much of Suki’s cooking do you,”

Tsubomi caught herself before shaking her head. If this was going to work as an experiment, she couldn't reveal that yet. All she'd have to do is make sure she didn't eat any of it herself. Which meant that as soon as the smell of the food became apparent, her sloth-like mindset fell away. Sure, Rei said she'd protect her, but that wasn't going to be enough. Tsubomi's guard was up now, and for good reason. So by the time Roche started putting the "food" in front of everyone, Tsubomi was back to her quick-thinking state that was usually preserved for life threatening situations. Then again, this was probably exactly that.

Willow had, rightfully, run away. Tsubomi gave her some credit for that, but... When the meal became a monster in form to match its taste... That's uncalled for. Luckily, it seemed to focus on Willow, which was good for her.

"Sorry, I'm on a diet recently. Need to keep my carbs down." she said, still sounding as detached as before, at the least. And it wasn't even technically a lie! She was on a diet, as of thirty seconds ago. She was even going to stick to it for a week or so, since that's about how long the leftovers would "last" before "going bad." "I'm not used to it yet, but it just hit me that I drank too much soda to be able to manage this into it."

Still though, she found herself poking at the food with her utensils, popping the bubbles that rose from it occasionally and flipping it over itself several times. Having to fake caring for people's feelings was exhausting, and she was ready to go home and finally relax from the day for real. But this was an opportunity, so she found herself stealing glances at the Club Leader, which quickly gave way to full-on staring at her to see how she'd handle the situation.
Finally have a post up too.
Hikari Kana


Dark, darker, ever darker... Hikari found a world devoid of her name surrounding her. Or at least it felt that way. A regular at lucid dreaming, she wasn't quite sure this was in fact even a dream... She certainly felt the falling as if it were real. And so she fell through the darkness, through what seemed to be even somehow darker still, and found herself landing on a solid surface. She didn't feel any pain from it, but she certainly felt the impact regardless. There was the sound of a small bell, and she turned to face the direction it had come from. As she turned on her feet, she felt and saw the world around her change. As if looking at a black and white gradient on a computer, her turning brought white light into view, momentarily blinding her and forcing her to raise her left hand to cover her eyes.

When she lowered it, she found herself looking at a strange hallway, one that seemed to have darkness flowing from its front into the back of it in a repetitive pulsing. She decided to walk through it only to find that she couldn't seem to progress. Or perhaps she was, and it was simply too far of a journey to notice in the strange darkness. After what felt like hours she finally arrived at the end, a strange room with tacky furniture and a... man? Woman? Someone sat in the back of the room. It was as if they were being looked at through blurry lens, and their voice sounded just as strange.

"Greetings, young one. Welcome to your new role." It began. "You've been chosen to help defend your home, isn't that wooooonderful?" There was no joy or excitement in its speech.

Hikari simply cocked her head to the right slightly, a blank expression on her face. To be honest, she was too busy trying to influence her dream into something more interesting than a blurry person in a strange room. The figure slammed shut what appeared through the distortion to be a book in a loud *crash*. Loud enough to break her concentration and make her pay attention to the figure.

"Could you repeat that?" There was a hint of boredom still in her voice as she asked.

"Absolutely not." The figure replied in an empty tone. "Pay attention the first time. Now, if you want to save your planet and species, then you'll need power. So that's what you'll get." Another flash of light, and again Hikari lifted her left hand to block it out, though with that came a stinging pain in the back of her hand. "That symbol will allow you the honor of summoning demons to fight for you. Simply call out the name of the demon that contracts with you and they will appear. Now leave."

That seemed awfully convenient. Hikari tried to ask for more information, but it was too late. She could feel the dream slipping. As she was focused on retaining the dream, her hand burned again and, after a quick look at the symbol that formed on it, she found herself awake in bed. Despite being one of the stranger dreams she'd had, she thought nothing of it and rolled over to go back to sleep.



"- accounts of the rising murders are-" Click.
"- the end of days! Why are people joining this new -" Click.
"- sighting of the supernatural at S - "Click.
"- SPECIAL -" Oh. Anime. That's worth watching, at least. Hikari thought to herself. Being her day off, Hikari was flipping through channels on TV as she ate her breakfast, loud music blaring on repeat from her phone. Of course, normal people wouldn't be quite able to multitask listening to music and watching television, but she was decidedly not normal, and was very used to the situation. It was hard to occupy her mind fully otherwise.

It was around forty-five minutes later, as she was going to put the dishes away, that it appeared. Just outside her kitchen's window, there was a strange something watching her. When she first glanced out she saw what appeared to be horns at the bottom of the window, but she thought nothing of it and continued what she was doing. Once she was done though, she walked over to take a closer look. She hadn't left the window open, had she? There was no sign of whatever was out there, so she stuck her head out to get a better look, and that's when it happened. A strange red creature grabbed her by the neck and pulled her out into her backyard through the open window. It was probably a good thing that she's as small as she is, as it prevented her from being slammed into the top half of the window, or rather through it, when she was yanked outside.

The creature held her at arm's length, which wasn't that far, by her neck causing her to be about an inch off the ground as she grabbed at its wrist and thrashed about to try to break free. But the creature just smirked at her and kept her there. As she was about to lose consciousness, she noticed a pain in her left hand and, taking it off the creature's wrist to look more closely, she could see the symbol from her dream present on it.

A voice rang through Hikari's mind. Call for me.

She tried to draw in a breath, but the creature's grip was too tight. Hurry!

"H-hei..." she managed to cough out. "Long!"

A darkness appeared behind the monster, and from it stepped a small... dragon? A small blue bipedal dragon, at that. Its red eyes focused on the red monster that was holding Hikari just as it turned to face the blue one.

"Die." Came from it as it slashed at the goblin-esque monster with [Crush Claw], quickly slicing it in half horizontally. Blood spattered onto its arm and Hikari's stomach as she fell to the ground coughing and trying to catch her breath. The dragon simply flicked its wrist to get the blood off as it walked towards her. Hikari, for her part, did not feel much fear from this one.

"Get up." Hikari stood and looked the demon in the eyes. The dragon simply smirked. "Yeah, you'll do. The name's 'Akane.' Don't forget it."

Great. Time travel, again.
Again? You've dealt with it before?
Unfortunately. I don't know that the rules from then will apply now, though.
Then we're in a similar situation. I doubt my solution from last time will work here, either.
As Rhyder gave his input, the voices in Nyx's head agreed.
That's right. We need more information at the very least.
And running away isn't a bad idea. We should probably do that.

"There have been superheroes on the news, right? Maybe we can escape and find one of them?"
@Zeroth
A lot of them do limit demon summons on alignment of the party, but the ones that don't are more fun :P

@Eviledd1984
That would be interesting, yeah. Alignment changes are fun.
