*Shura arrives as soon as the late night train takes her to the Red Lights district. Running to the Penguin's Nest is not exactly new to her. Neither is going in and getting whistles from that one succubus who keeps poking her about her shirtless state. She heads right to the office and walks in.*

Hey.

[emperor_penguin]

Hey yourself.

[DeDeDe picks up one of the glasses of whiskey, clinking the ice around in it as he rattles it in Shura's direction.]

C'mon in, have a seat.

*Shura walks to a chair, lets herself fall in it, then reaches out to take her glass of whiskey.*

Thanks. I dunno why it's bothering me more tonight, but it is.

We all got our demons. Some of us just have more of 'em than others.

[demifemme]

"Heh. I miss those guys too." She took a sip of whisky, coughing after swallowing.

[emperor_penguin]

Careful there, that stuff's got a kick to it.

[demifemme]

"I... see..." That had been a nice kick. Her magatama was wide awake now, and not especially pleased.

"Heh. It's good, but Marogareh is not too happy."

[emperor_penguin]

Maro who now?

[demifemme]

Oops. Oh well. She might as well spill.

"Marogareh is the parasite that lives here," she said, pointing at the base of her horn. "He transformed me into a demon, long ago."

[emperor_penguin]

And he... lives inside of ya now?

[DeDeDe raises an eyebrow, leaning in closer as if that would allow him a look at the actual parasite somehow.]

[demifemme]

"Yeah. It's like... I feed him, he helps me stay alive. And he teaches me things." The parasite is, of course, nowhere to be seen from the surface.

[emperor_penguin]

Yeah, well, tell him a little good whiskey never killed nobody.
