So this is how it works…?

[The communicator turns in, focused far, faaaar too close to a pair of yellow eyes. Naoki leans back so that he’s visible-a young man all covered with black markings (and shirtless, no less) that pulse a faint green glow. From this angle, the horn protruding from the back of his neck isn't visible

...What are you?

[scalethetower]

... [Well, he figured he'd get asked that eventually but sighs and rubs the back of his head.] A half-demon.

[alastinglight]

[Stare.]

Oh.

[Adding that to the list of strange creatures he's talked to now.]

You have a human face, though, and build.

[...he fidgets, a hand lifting to tug at the ends of his hair. Not exactly comfortable with staring, ehem.]

A lot of the demons where I'm from look human-like.

[He turns his head slightly and--yes. That would be a horn.]

[alastinglight]

Really? [Huh.] That's kind of poetic.

Video;

[scalethetower]

Haha. I suppose it is, in a way.

[Demons similar to humans while meanwhile the humans (most, though not all) became monsters. Including-- No, no, he wasn't going to think of that now.]

[alastinglight]

You'll have to excuse me. The only non-humans I know in my world are my enemies.

Video;

[scalethetower]

I see. [Not that he doesn't get that.] Are there many non-humans in this place?

Video;

[alastinglight]

I've seen quite a number, but they're far from the majority.

[Oh yeah.]

My name's Shinsuke Takasugi.

[scalethetower]

[He hums at that. Still, it's interesting to know. At the introduction, he inclines his head, polite.]

Nice to meet you, Takasugi-san.

Video;

[alastinglight]

It's nice to meet you too.

Have you been told what you are yet?

Video;

[scalethetower]

Yeah. [Pause.] Apparently I'm a Weapon.

[He's still not sure how to feel about that.]

Video;

[alastinglight]

You'd best figure out how to transform, and find a partner. You can defend yourself better than way.

Video;

[scalethetower]

Transform... [Mumbled to himself.]

Yeah. I'll keep it in mind. [It's still unsettling, the thought of being used by someone.] And try to soon.

[alastinglight]

Good luck.

[scalethetower]

[A faint grin.] Thank you.
