[It’s that time again! Although it’s already a little different from the usual post. Instead of opting to post anonymously as usual, Hizumi has gone ahead and kept his name attached.

Shock and surprise! Golly who could have ever seen this coming?]

Subject: Astrology & Event Docs
Attached files: amd.doc, emd.doc

It’s been busy, but since I see we have new people here, I would like to remind people that the Astrology Master Document and Event Master Document are still around. Since both of them can be edited by anyone who has the file, feel free to add anything you know to them as long as it’s relevant. I have backups of the files so I can restore them if I have to, but I don’t want to do that all the time, so try not to mess it up too badly, got it?

So you guys know which one is which:

Astrology Master Document or the amd.doc is for collecting any information related to astrological signs and their meanings, as well as details of events surrounding attacks by the astrological demons. If you want to get an idea of how people have been affected in the past by their astrological signs during those times, check here!

Event Master Document or the emd.doc is for collecting any information on other, non-astrological based events. So, stuff like suddenly being unable to tell a lie, or groups of people being abducted to strange places. That kind of thing.

If you have any questions, you can also use this post to discuss as usual!

And since I'm here... I might as well point out that the arcade is having a special discount on two hour game cards. If you're up to date with your studies or already gave up on finals, come pay us a visit!

Regarding the things my Shadow said - well, none of it really matters at this point, so I'd rather not talk about it. The main point is, I'm not going to kill anyone, so there's no problem. I don't think I need to say this, but just to make sure, I'd prefer it if you don't talk about it with anyone, myself included.

Well, multiple lifetimes tends to leave you with a lot of free time...

... well, that and the fact that technically I'm a mythological figure myself. Not a demon though.

[...Rrrrreally now.]

May I ask which one?

The first born child outside of the Garden.

[Let's play a trivia game. An easy one, but whatever.]

[Outside the Garden...?]

You mean the Garden of Eden?

Yes.

[...But wouldn't that be...]

...Don't tell me... one of the children of those two. Adam and Eve, right?

[No, seriously, please let him be wrong.]

Good, you know your mythology. At least the commonly known version of it.

[Why does he get the feeling this is just going to get worse the more he asks...?]

And the true version would be...?

Well, obviously the punishment was a bit different than what's written.

Obviously, you say.

Who ever heard of Cain reincarnating? Reincarnation isn't even part of Abrahamic doctrine.

[Well then. We have officially gone there.

Hizumi isn't so sure that he quite enjoys how complicated his supposed "family" keeps becoming. Which is why, after a pause, all Naoya will get is:]

I see.

Everything all right over there?

Sorry, I just wasn't really expecting to find myself texting Cain from right out of the bible.

[Adam's son. But he's not the original Adam by any stretch of it. But there's still very technically a connection. But he really does not want to think about this anymore.]

Fair enough.

Any other questions?

Are you normally so open about your identity?

Not at home. But I have nothing to lose here.

We can summon parts of our psyche to attack and there are demons everywhere. I don't think I'm really the strangest thing.

I suppose that's fair.

Out of curiosity, do mind if I ask what Adam and Eve were like? Since it isn't often you can ask anyone with first-hand experience of these things...

[It takes a bit for this message to go through.]

... Simple, really. They were simple in their thinking - all of us were, because we didn't know any better. He was dedicated to God, always trying to figure out how to win back His favor. She... was quiet. She was ashamed, I think. Neither of them really wanted to talk about anything other than what work we should do. Distant isn't quite the word for them, but it's close enough.

They stayed near where we lived most of the time. Neither of them ever went into the hills, since there were some demons who lived there. They were both very afraid of being punished further.

[There's a small pause because he may or may not have just sent this conversation to someone else.]

Makes sense. Getting on God's bad side isn't exactly something you can recover quickly from.

[Assuming you could recover at all.]

But I should probably leave it at that. Thank you.
