discedo | Year 一

[VIDEO]

[The video turns on to a young girl who might look somewhat similar to another person in Discedo peering down at the communicator. Blank stare. Devoid of emotion. Is this really even a person? Finally, she whispers in Japanese:]

Demon mirror...

[And then gets up and wanders off leaving a lovely view of the Spero dock. But fear not. She returns! With a big rock. SMASH. The feed goes out. Take that evil hellspawn.]

[ACTION]

And if you are in Spero your choice of ~~terror~~ introduction may come in one of three flavors today:

A. You were just out for a stroll. When suddenly. Young girls attack. That's right. You are now being tackled like a pro by a wild fourteen year old and she is yelling at you in Japanese. Happen to know the word... oni?

B. Maybe you're outside. Maybe you're inside! Suddenly you feel a tug at your pocket. ...Someone's trying to pick its contents and three guesses as to who it is.

C. Walking around the city you happen to notice a serene young girl sitting in what is clearly meditation. Maybe she's new and doesn't know about the monsters... Approach and- you'll find she's fast asleep. Fooled you didn't she?

[Rock smash. SHE WON'T BELIEVE YOUR LIES TALKING MIRROR...]

[Wince. Okay that is not working, um...]

This item is helpful! Hah... I am not sure how to say this...

Please listen. I should like to visit in person, but that scenery seems to be a place a bit far from here, so I would not wish for any harm to come before I arrive.

[He realizes his words are probably useless here BUT COME ON.]

[He's coming to get her?!? O-oh... Holding that rock a little tighter!]

N-no visits. R-r-return me!

We are both victims here!

[His hands are up defensively as if that means anything. But if he can get that much out and believed, he can explain the rest much easier...]

... ... ...

[Not so certain she buys that, but uh...]

...You are Japanese. ... ... ...If you need it surely I can protect you.

[So uh. Maybe. But if he tries to eat her she's punching him in the demon nuts.]

[His worry fades away to a somewhat gentler expression and he lowers his hands. There's no need to explain that he is also Japan, right now. So he'll take this chance at being believed and go with it.]

It seems as if Japan-san is the one who could use protecting. [The tone is still gentle and nothing mocking, though there might be that trace of worry.]

There are monsters here, but I am not one of them. I can be there, but it will take time.

My naginata is here.

[Hmph of course she's perfectly fine... Not frightened in the least! ahem]

...You know your way around this weird hell?

[Cause seriously what else is it...]

That is good.

[He nods, because for one he's honestly relieved she has something to defend herself with, and for two he doesn't want to leave any doubt to damage her pride. Yes. He will treat his other self's pride carefully, even if she did seem less full of it...

Right, the hell comment though.]

...It could be said that I have been stuck here for quite some time. Ah, so yes, I do. I could provide a map over this...item, if Japan-san would consider using it. I assure you it is for the best.

... ... ...

[But it's such a questionable device!]

If it's surely not cursed there should be no need for hesitation...

[So. Maybe. She's full of a lot of maybes.]

I see... [He sends over the map program.]

Click... ah, I mean, if that is pressed, it should lead to a map now.
