The Knight Again

[odiousking]

[A young man clad in armor turns on the COMP. He looks into the camera with certainty in the audience beyond the lens. Despite his appearances, the technology doesn't seem to be an incredible challenge to him.]

My name is Oersted, a knight of Lucretia. I have been summoned here just as you all have for one reason or another. From this day on, I may either be your colleague or rival depending on where our paths take us.

It is for that reason I have called to all of you besides mere introductions.

I wish to know what all of you intend to contribute to this city in our coming days. You are all willing to fight when expected, yes? Then what reason do you have... besides being asked? And what is your reason?

... You may refrain from answering if you wish. This is just a way to satisfy my curiosity, nothing more, nothing less.

I am Theodore, and my purpose is to assist humanity in its efforts to grow as a whole in a path which both changes and enlightens it.

[Fancy, right? Though, it's only his station at the moment and not his "true" purpose. He still has a journey to take for that. But the strange looking man in blue isn't through yet.]

There is much more to be learned by those unfamiliar with Personas in the Velvet Room, where one being such as myself resides with the same purpose. Her name is Caroline. [Just so you know.]

[odiousking]

[Fancy indeed. He heard about concepts like the Velvet Room, Persona, and other jargon exclusive to this city. He even realized that he possessed the power to summon Odio, the collective symbol of hatred. And now, this man is saying that he has a connection to the same Velvet Room.]

Such as yourself... ah, so you're a part of the Velvet Room as well.

[Though Oersted doesn't believe that's completely selfless...]

Then if I may ask, are you outside now to assist humanity? I'm curious as to what that entails.

[canteachyoumore]

[Wow, you've hit a weak point already. But Theodore tries not to let it show, since he has full confidence in Lord Philemon.]

In a way. Lord Philemon has summoned me here for a purpose, just as he has summoned you all, though my duty lies outside that room. [apparently. Regardless of the circumstances, I will always aid humanity.

[odiousking]

[Not that he notices it, as perceptive of a demon king he is.]

Then you're content with being a tool for humanity. Or "of" humanity.

[canteachyoumore]

Yes. [Completely without hesitation.

... Well, until he finds his true purpose for being here, in any case. But that is his at the moment and he'll be one of the Anoli's allies before he lets it go.]

Do you have any other reason yourself?
