[Hello, this is Jonathan, otherwise known as 'that one guy with poodle hair' or 'fairies permeate every aspect of my life'. Yeah, that guy.

In any case.]

Excuse the sudden contact, but I seem to have lost one of my demons. [Yes, being 'Lost' is a legit status ailment in SMT4. It's totally possible, okay, wind spells are nasty shit.] Her name is Lailah, and I've been looking for her scrupulously the last few days, but I haven't been able to locate her.

I've attached a picture of her to this broadcast as well. If you see her, could you inform me? [...Maybe he took so long to put up this notice because he didn't know how to attach the picture...] She'll be noticeably more civil than any other demons you encounter. Thank you very much, and sorry again for the trouble.

[By the way, if you frequent the Tauros District at the 13th Hour, you might actually find her at... Shiroku Pub. And seemingly having befriended a Lilim.

Apparently, Hinoto-Ri is a great place to gain some actual independence...? Some angel...

(You may inform Jonathan of Lailah's whereabouts, in which you will gain his thanks IN EXCHANGE FOR HER FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS. Do you really have it in you... since when did angels have individual freedom, anyway?)]

Sweats.

"I should be fine. Your concern is appreciated." Despite the fact he's a bit 8| at the notion that everyone basically already knows he's a caveman here.

"Why do they seem to prefer coffee, though?" What does it even do...

[electricyousei]

"My guess would be the adult flavor and the energy burst from the caffeine. I suspect that fact the energy drinks taste like poison turns them off of that."

[jonathandammit]

So, basically, they like to enjoy themselves more. Seems simple enough.

"I see..." No idea why energy drinks would taste like poison, but okay.

"Does that mean confectioneries could work as well?" Because he really don't want to risk it with the energy drink thing, but also doesn't want to trouble the girl into helping him with that. Plus, he never actually gave food to demos except for like... bleeding, fleshy meat ravaged from another...

[electricyousei]

"I once used a side of beef, but that's the closest to food."

[jonathandammit]

FLESH AND COFFEE, THEN...

"What kind of demons seem most knowledgeable about locations, though?" And less inclined to stab you. "Or at least, more willing to speak."

[electricyousei]

"They were all quite talkative after a show of force. I think its more not being afraid of them that is importance. Speak from strength, yet don't act as if you are better than they are."

[jonathandammit]

...Easier said than done, really. Being a Law Hero is suffering.

"A show of force... alright, then." Eh, it's demons, who cares. "Thank you very much for your help."

[electricyousei]

"I hope you find your friend."

Yes, Ruri is still under the impression that demons are like pokemon are to demon summoners and its a partnership and not a dictatorship. Being a neutral hero is being confused by law and chaos types.

[swordsaintseta]

Ah! Lailah-san is missing? I'll keep an eye out- I hope she's all right!

[jonathandammit]

[Even if Lailah isn't here, pretend she's trying to talk to you in spirit, Soujirou. NICER SAMURAI BOY, DO NOT TELL THE POODLEHAIR WHERE SHE IS...]

Thank you very much. She is strong enough to handle herself... but when she's been missing for such a length of time... [Yeah...]

[swordsaintseta]

[He would probably take into consideration Lailah's wishes, especially considering her treatment during that expedition! That really isn't the proper way to treat a lady, demon or no!]

You shouldn't doubt her abilities! I'm sure she's fine, wherever she is.

[jonathandammit]

[YES, YES, GOOD SAMURAI BOY...]

I don't doubt her abilities... but in an environment like this, it's highly advisable to not be alone. [Yeah. Going on Challenge Quests alone was mandatory, but... well, they were called 'Challenge Quests' for a reason.]

But I won't wallow away in worry. I'll have to begin looking for her again. [Yeah...] Do you know of any demons that might be able to tell where she is?

[swordsaintseta]

[Well gee, you should be at least a little worried at least.]

Mmm...not particularly. If you do intend to go out and search for her, I wouldn't mind coming along.

[jonathandammit]

Really? Thank you very much, Soujirou.

[let's pretend they all exchanged names during the dungeon crawling thing yes/yes]

From what I've heard, many demons seem to frequent the park, or the Taurus District. Lailah seeking out the latter is highly improbable, however.

[swordsaintseta]

[He smiles, giving a nod at that. Works for me!]

You think so?

[jonathandammit]

That area seems focused mostly in... explicit affairs.

[Yeah...]

I highly doubt she would be there out of her own will. Perhaps if she was forced, however, that could be possible.

[swordsaintseta]

O-oh...

I hope she wasn't forced to... If that's a possibility however, then perhaps we should check there as well.

[jonathandammit]

So we will check around the unpopulated park areas, and the Taurus District.

Thank you again for your help. Do you happen to be free now?

[swordsaintseta]

[He nods.]

It's not a problem. I just want to make sure Lailah-san is safe as well. I'm free at the moment- shall we meet somewhere?

[jonathandammit]

Could I trouble you to meet me at the Taurus District, then?

[THIS IS JONATHAN, THAT REQUEST IS NOTHING BUT INNOCENT

but anyway. Video -> Action?]

[swordsaintseta]

All right! I'll head out right now.

[Soujirou being who he is, he wouldn't have processed that request for any hidden intent either way. -but yes, action away!]

[candidusxtenebraum]

[ Flynn nodded again. He had personal experience of such events as well, but his demons did return in the end. ]

Yes, that would be alright. I will return to my apartment now, then. I presume you know where it is?

[ They hadn't exactly tied up their last long conversation either. Jonathan would definitely be asking about it.

A prickly issue, no doubt. But his faith in the White will ensure success. ]

[video --> action]

[jonathandammit]

[The Taurus District is a very, very flashy place. Jonathan almost gets lost.

But! There he is. The COMP manages to find Soujirou before they end up in any weird shit.]

Hello! I'm over here.

[video --> action]

[jonathandammit]

Yes, I'll be right there.

[...Jonathan has no idea of this whole 'White' business. It's a bit sad, almost. Guess what he received? Fate is almost hilarious. As if someone's pulling the strings behind all this, and making them dance like puppets to a grand show for their entertainment. Oh, wait...

Moving on from 4th walling, though.]

Flynn? It's Jonathan. [KNOCK KNOCK...]

[swordsaintseta]

[It's a distracting place all right, and although he hasn't been here longer than a ten minutes, Soujirou's already been greeted eagerly by a handful of women. At least with him having to meet Jonathan, he doesn't have to make up an excuse about his business here.]

Ah, there you are!

[He trots over, smiling.]

This place is so different at night, huh.
