[text] Welcome to Hinoto-Ri...?

My name is Ideo, I'm one of the first arrivals here. If anyone has any questions that they have not received answers to, feel free to ask here. I will do my best to answer if I am able to, or at least direct you to someone who can.

[Compared to his previous network post, this is much more brief and much less showy- he's probably hard at work trying to see if he can help with the teleportation fiasco.]

You're the guy in charge, huh? I know about the demons and all, but what's the spirit situation in town? I would imagine anything that could create the sort of situation you're in would have a bit of an effect on the border between life and death.

I hope no one expects me to stick my neck out here. For one, I can't fit in those buildings. For two, one of these idiots probably broke it themselves.

[Ignoring the fact that he has that holomatter avatar but shhhhhh.]

You could at least pretend to care about helping people, considering the mayor is sticking his neck out for us as it is.

Not *the* guy in charge...that would be the Wisemen. But I run one of the R&D facilities in Sagittarius, so I'm equipped to answer questions at least.

...as for the spiritual situation in town, it's very complex. With so many beings living within a small area- demons, humans, and everything inbetween -we have more than a few issues with other supernatural incidents. Ghosts have been common, but few people are equipped to handle them; likewise, there are beings beyond demons that also exist, that we are not sure how to handle.

If you want a short answer, it's a mess.

I could, but I find it better to be honest.

I see. I'm something of an expert on living-dead diplomacy, if you guys need any help on that. I'm a spirit medium, see.

Mister Ideo,

How do you do? I hope this finds you well and that you aren't too busy, you looked awfully harassed the last time I saw you. I've no questions, but if you could tell Ceu I said hello, I'd be very happy.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Middleford

Can you tell me more about the Anoli or whatever? Start from the basics, if you can be bothered.

What can you tell us about Shadows and Demons?

To put it simply, they are terrorists.

They believe the ability to wield persona is a sign of evolution, and that those who cannot are useless. They want to create a society in which persona users are the top tier, and anyone without the potential is no longer around.

I specialize in demons specifically, so I can speak at length about them. However, I am not exactly up to date on shadows and their abilities, outside of that which overlaps with demonology. For that, I would have to direct you to the Wisemen.

Would you rather I explain the basics about demons, or do you have experience already?

So they're like comic book villains? I mean they sound like they're from a fucking comic about mutants with logic like that.

[Even though they have a point.

Maybe.

He can't make his mind up on that, but he gets the feeling he should keep that quiet.]

Not a fan, Ideo?

I will do that. I hope you're doing well. Ceu has the day off today, so I will let her know when I get out of work.

[It's probably hard to tell, but he's embarrassed. What is people being out and out friendly for no ulterior motive?????]

...that would actually be a great service to offer around here. To my knowledge, we have nobody with such skills outside of demon tamers, and there's quite a bit that can go wrong with that overlap.

I can't employ you directly, but I can assure you that you would find work available if you offer such a service.

>:(

As far as they're willing to "explain" to us, they're in essence like comic book villains, yes. I've heard some of them have legitimately been taken from some setting that sounds quite like a damn comic to me, anyway.

[Somewhere, Viym is probably doing a dainty sneeze while stealing more donuts. #yolo]

They wrecked my facility, attempted to steal my prototype, and caused damage and injury all across the city. You could say they haven't given me a reason to not be sour with them.

Haha yeah sounds awful.

Hey, tell me about the different types of persona will you? Some are better at fighting, right?

Start with the basics, please. The closest things to "demons" my world had were aliens...

The hell is that?

There are Support and Combat personas, yes. Support typically are better suited to strategic maneuvers, healing, or scanning purposes; combat is more direct and clear-cut.

A frowny face.

>:( >:[ >:c

^^^ All frowny faces.

Which is more common?

[Translation; which is more expendable?]

Demons are humanlike entities with magical properties. I won't bore you with theories and the like; the most important thing to grasp is that some are hostile, and some are not. Much like mankind, really.

[FILE SENT: briefintro.rft]

This may also help some.

That's an odd enough question that I don't have an answer. Technically speaking, we have no official census on the support-to-combat ratio, though such has been proposed. If I had to guess however, I'd state that combat-oriented personas are the more common variety, speaking from the evidence of my seniors.

Sweet, thanks for the info man.

Anyway, I've got another question about our best friends the Anoli.

How did you guys find out about those dicks? Did they attack? Did they start recruiting like a political party or what?
