[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?)]

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!]

[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.

[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.

[jonathandammit]

The difference is almost dizzying... as are the displays. [So many bright lights. God, he's not used to such brightness when it's almost night time. It's still not yet 13th Hour time- though, it's encroaching, and Jonathan would probably end up lurking around then too, just to see if anyone really kidnapped Lailah.

Which is why it's a good thing Soujirou is here. If he does that, the one who'll end up kidnapped is himself. 8|

Moving on.]

Thank you very much for coming. We could start looking in the alleyways. [THAT'S A LOT OF ALLEYWAYS TO LOOK THROUGH...]

[swordsaintseta]

[Such is why Soujirou's brought his swords although not his armor. He does have his magic bag if they run into trouble, though, but he hopes it won't be necessary.]

Mn, not a problem. Uh....

[He looks around them, having noted that fact.]

Where should we start? Or we could ask around and try to narrow things down..?

[jonathandammit]

That is true.

[Welp...]

How about we see the landmarks are first, then?

[swordsaintseta]

That would be an easier place to start. [He nods.]

[jonathandammit]

Alright, then. This is called... Shiroku Store?

[INB4 THEY MISS LAILAH BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE !3TH HOUR YET

Soon, though. Jonathan peeks in first. Huh, it looks nice enough...]

[swordsaintseta]

[Soujirou glances up at the storefront before following Jonathan to the entrance.]

Anything?
