[ The video flickers on to find Sara perched against her motorcycle on the edge of the woods, looking a little rough around the edges but mostly unhurt. ]

Alright, so... I can't tell if this place is better or worse than the last one yet, but judging from the creepy ambiance, the hopes aren't high. I've got some weapons with me from Deerington, though, so if you're in need of protection or a way to safety, let me know.

[ She chews on her lip a moment. ]

Also, anyone know where the hell to get a drink around here?

Old town? That Deerington place? I kinda want a weapon to make things easier but I have my claws, so if there's people who need 'em more then they should get first go.

( His voice is a little somber. )

Not too hard to find abandoned places to just kinda ... move into.

[thecanarylives]

Were you not in Deerington before this? Didn't realize they were pulling new people in, too.

[ She cants her head at him curiously. ] Claws?

[deathrespect]

No, I was in a place called Hakagemachi.

( He looks to the side; explaining this is always weird. )

Weapons were hard to come by, couldn't use what I had anyway. Didn't work. So I made due with the claws my oni gave me.

Haka... what? [ Her brow furrows curiously at him. She's met all sorts of people from all sorts of different worlds, some more far removed from her own than others. ]

What's an oni?

[deathrespect]

Ha-ka-ge-ma-chi. Japanese city. ... Sort of.

( Right. Not everyone here is originally from Japan. )

A kind of youkai. ... Er, a demon. He lived in my body for a few months while I lived there and changed my body up. Hence me looking like this.

[thecanarylives]

You were... possessed by a demon? [ She frowns, thinking that one through a moment. ] I guess that's not the most insane thing I've heard. Deerington had a lot of people from all over.

[deathrespect]

Yeah. That's a good way to put it, even if he only fully took over a few times ... Mostly to pick fights with other youkai. He mostly had a lot of shit to say about whatever I was doing at the time.
