Sucks to be you. [she jokes, following him down the way.] Swords rock. I'd marry my sword if I could. Take her out on fancy dates, have her meet my dead mother.
[ok gideon]
I can't say I'm surprised you know what fighting is like.
He keeps walking, but shrugs a bit with one shoulder.] Oh. It's a carnival. [HE FORGOT TO EXPLAIN. Got distracted by the sword.] You go with family or friends to have fun. [Maybe not this one exactly.
He points in the direction of the tunnel, but doesn't explain yet. Just walking there.]
Our demons attack you on sight, though. And they all look different. Their instinct is to kill. Ryo did research on them as a professor. They were hiding as humans. It’s easier for demons to possess people who are more emotional. Like when they’re sad or angry.
[He looks around the outside of the tunnel as they approach to see if there's any kind of sign for rules or whatever, but, as expected... nothing.]
Our demons aren't shadows. When they possess you, your body transforms into their shape unless they're disguised. Devilmen are humans who resisted being possessed, so they're demons with human hearts.
[she's going to answer, but the twang gets her attention, and kind of like how he did before, she instinctively tries to move in front of him, hand on her sword.
there's another twang. and then a FSHSHHHTTTTHUNK as an arrow slams into the wall right next to akira's head.]
[He looks out from behind her, not because he's scared and hiding, but because he's NERFED and doesn't want to get taken out in one go. Another arrow whizzes by so fucking close he can feel the wind.]
Watch out! [WHAT IS THAT. It IS a fucking demon.] Why are the shooting?! Wait--
[Not them taking aim again. They... move sort of strange?]

Smiles uncertainly.]
Cool. Wanna look around?
no subject
Yeah? What's up. [she's stupid but she's not stupid.]
no subject
I... just understand. Um. Being a warrior. I mean, I don't have a sword.
no subject
[ok gideon]
I can't say I'm surprised you know what fighting is like.
no subject
You... too?
[Hm. He suddenly looks like he might start crying, so he very hastily looks away and clears his throat.]
Yeah, I do, I guess. It's a long story.
no subject
her lips twitch a little.]
I've got time if you want to tell it. Otherwise we go walk through the brain melting light show that is this new place.
no subject

Ryo and I hunted demons.
no subject
You mentioned demons before. [she doesn't exactly have a frame of reference for what that is, but she can gather for context.] Monsters, I'm guessing.
no subject

[He frowns at her.]
Like yesterday.
[Which is why he acted so weird about execution.]
no subject
she glances at him when he tells her that, eyes glinting behind her glasses.]
You think that's what going on here? [that's fucked up.]

[Leading the way into the tunnel...]
no subject
[she can't remember exactly, but she's amused a little by it.
in the distance, there's the sound of a very distinctive twang.]
no subject
[He assigned Gideon Devilman which, hilariously, she maybe would be Devilman material.
WHY IS THERE A TWANG. He pauses and glances at her.]
no subject
there's another twang. and then a FSHSHHHTTTTHUNK as an arrow slams into the wall right next to akira's head.]
no subject
He lets out a solid yelp and ducks down a bit.]
What the hell—an arrow? Who—!
no subject
she also yelps, startled, and then immediately pulls her sword out.]
Where the fuck did it come from—? [her gaze darts around the room, and then:] There! There's a fucking archer! Is that... what is that, a demon?
no subject
Watch out! [WHAT IS THAT. It IS a fucking demon.] Why are the shooting?! Wait--
[Not them taking aim again. They... move sort of strange?]
They're robots!
no subject
Shit - fuck! Duck!
[she reaches over hurriedly and yanks him down as another volley of arrows fly across the room.]
Okay - okay, I can't do the ranged thing, we've got to get in close.
no subject
I'm--!
[Even before he can start to duck, he gets yanked easily down with her. WAH as arrows shoot past them.]
I can't do anything if I can't-- [He bites whatever he's going to say back.] I have to get close too!
[NEITHER OF THEM ARE RANGED DPS!!! HELP.]
no subject
he also has to get close, which is fine - this calls for greatsword 3. she glances at him, and then the arrows, and then:]
Alright, behind me then, I'll rush them and you hop in. Ready? [three two one go there she goes]
