{ A young woman wearing a curiously bright (and orange) outfit is sitting on a bench. She shifts and tucks her hair behind her ears. }

My name is...Dagger. { It isn't safe to reveal her actual identity yet. It may never be. } I'm...new.

I haven't seen anyone I recognize { but that doesn't mean they're not here } and I'm a little confused.

{ She rests her hands on two objects in her lap - a rod and a racket. }

These aren't working the way I remember and I can't...summon. { Her brow furrows. } Are there any other Summoners near by?

{ Giving her head a brief shake, she smiles faintly. }

It's nice to meet you. { At least she hopes it is. } Thank you for listening.

Shura is intrigued immediately, since it looks like this girl's powers are not working as intended either.

"Summoner? You mean, like, demon summoners?"

[til]

No. I summon Eidolons. { Or she did before... } What are demons?

[demifemme]

"Demons are sentient creatures that are not humans. It's a vast concept. For example, I'm a demon. Or half of one. It's complicated.

I have no idea what Eidolons are, though."

[til]

They sound a little like Eidolons. { Are they the same...? } Do you have special powers?

[demifemme]

"Normally I have cool markings!" That's a power right? "But it seems that during the day they don't really show. I also command other demons, because I'm at the top of the food chain, and I kick a lot of ass." Modesty, what are you.

"But, uh, aside from that... that's about it. If you don't count the Persona thing."

[til]

{ She can't help but arch a brow. Markings...as a power? They must be terrifying if that's the case.

Or alluring. }

Are your...servants...here? { Dagger is careful to phrase the question lightly. } I wonder if my Persona has taken the place of my Eidolons? Do you think that's possible?

[demifemme]

They can be both. Perhaps you'll get to see soon.

"Only four of them. Normally I have a whole army at my service. ... now that you said that, it sounds right. Maybe it is a trade of power in exchange for the Persona thing."

[til]

Hm. { If that's the case then... } They must be familiar to me...in some way. I think I'd like to see them.

How do I Summon them?

[demifemme]

There's an awkward pause as Shura's gaze shifts. "I, uh, I don't know. Sorry. They said being in danger might help, but I can't recommend that."

[til]

So we...inherently...know how to summon them. { That must be what they meant. } I'd rather know I know.

[demifemme]

"Supposedly yes, it's instinctive. So, uh, don't worry too much about it, okay?"
