"Katana please give it back-"
"What's this.."
"It's a phone-"
"What does it do?"
"You can uh. Talk to people with it?"
"Can I try it?"
"I guess you can, yeah."
Hi there!!!! Mod K here. This is my first parody/rp acc and I'm honestly extremely excited and nervous to do something like this LMAO
you cannot infect me with the hypertana dizeaze. I AM IMMUNE!! ZUBLAZER RAY!!!
ooc: flicks you away like you're a fly/VSILLY
🦌…🌰
a little demon with brown horns tapped on hyperlaser and katana
" papapapappapapa... papa.. "
this child was NOT their child.
🦌…🌰
-@creator-is-herexp
OOC: New rp arc lets go (probably gonna have to start tagging these)
"Oh."
(Katana looks down at the little demon, a little dumbstruck for a moment before looking over to Hyper and shrugging.)
"Over here, bud."
(Hyperlaser crouches down with his arms out, allowing the kid to come to him)
OOC: lmfao keyword was./j
🦌…🌰
The child ran into hyperlasers arms and hugged him smiling and giggling,
" Papa!.. I.. uh.. "
it stumbled over its words trying to remember something
" I found this biiig rock! And i picked it up and i have it now!! Do you wanna see it? "
The child ran off to illumina knows where and came back dragging a bag on the ground and gave it to katana and hyperlaser
🦌…🌰
(Looking mildly confused, Hyper looks up at Katana blankly for a short bit. Their gazes shifted and lingered on the bag for a bit, Hyperlaser scrutinizing the shape of the bag for a long while, muffled whirrs and beeps coming from inside his helmet before they all abruptly stop. Katana switches his attention to the little demon while Hyper cautiously looks around the bag, hesitant to open it.)
"Little one, uhm-" (Katana is incredibly hesitant as to say the wrong things, not wanting to upset the little kid by stating that the two are in fact... not their parents.) "Can you tell us where you found the rock?"
🦌…🌰
" I found the rock in a verryy pretty pond, there were a lot of fish in it!! And i got hungry when i saw them! "
It opened the bag to show a rock with dirt and moss, and it was a bit big
🦌…🌰
"And you were able to haul it all the way here? Impressive."
(Hyperlaser strikes up a conversation with the little demon about the rock and the fish and where they came from, nodding and taking the rock out of the bag with some effort. Holding a claw to the chin of his mask, Katana nods and thinks, looking around at their surroundings. There isn't a lot of demons here, and a spawn fountain so out in the open??? No that.. couldn't be it. This kid had to be lost and mistook the two as their parents. One would usually understand their mistake by now though. Looking back at the little demon, he places his claw lightly on the kids head.)
"Sayyy kiddo.. any older demons here you may recognize? Anyone like parents or guardians...? " (He has plenty more questions, as does Hyperlaser .. but one at a time, to not overwhelm them.)
🦌…🌰
it shook its head and hugged Katana
" Just you papa and dad!! "
the young demon yawned, rubbing its eye and looked at katanas mask before pulling away.
🦌…🌰
(Blink blink. Well it was worth a try. Katana looks at Hyper, who's given up on scrutinizing the rock, and they just... don't know what to do, really. They have been given a child for some reason, and no one else here is about to take care of them sooo.. Katana sighs. Neither of their factions are a good place for this kid to live and there's a lot of complications- stresstresstresstresstresstress, Katana is.. pacing now.)
🦌…🌰
the child looked at katana, wondering why he was pacing, it tapped hyperlasers back before asking
" Dad, why is papa doing that? "
It pointed to katana, still pacing, it thought katana was possessed by the spirit of a dog ghost. Why?? Kid logic or something
🦌…🌰
"He's just stressed, yeah? We didn't expect you to come up to us today, not even a second to spare and prepare something special."
(Hyperlaser spoke very matter-of-factly, but in a manner that was straightforward for the kid to understand. He places a hand on top of the kid's head, standing up from the crouch he was in when observing the rock. Arms crossed, Hyper faced Katana, while simultaneously allowing his helmet to scan the kid, observing their horns and unique features before fully focusing on Katana and beckoning him over with a hand motion.)
"Don't worry so much, Katana. We'll be okay, there's no need to stress about things that might not happen."
(Katana nods and lightly taps his mask against Hyper's, looking down at the kid, unsure about how to continue this whole ordeal without panicking again.)
🦌…🌰
the small demon went up to katana and gave him a hug, looking up at him with a smile
" Does this make you feel better, papa? "
it gave katana a little pat on the arm
🦌…🌰
(Fondness crept into his expression as he looked down at the kid, he still didn't know what to do... but he sure as hell can act like it. Crouching down to the kid's level, Katana nodded.)
"Yes. Thank you." (He hugs the kid back, and after a short while picks them up and places them on his shoulder. Looking up at them Katana asks) "Sayyy.. are you a little hungry?"
🦌…🌰
the child nodded, clapping and kicking their feet back and fourth
" Yea!! Yea!! but does dad want? "
They pointed to Hyperlaser, looking at Katana innocently. the little demon looked excited. It hugged Katanas head after clapping
🦌…🌰
(Katana looks back at Hyper, who shrugs. Can't really eat well because of his helmet, Katana probably won't eat anything either.)
"We'll be fine kiddo, don't worry."
(Hyper pauses to look at the rock on the ground. Is that the kid's gear? or is it genuinely just a rock. He puts it back in the bag and lifts it up, letting out a pretty big sigh when he manages to. That thing is HEAVY how did such a small demon manage to carry it all the way here.)
"Before we do go somewhere to eat though, I'd like to see where you found this rock so I can confirm a theory of mine. Yeah? You're gonna have to lead me and Katana."
🦌…🌰
the demon pondered. looking into space for a few minutes..
" A pond! I'm gonna use my hammer on the rock for fun! " He took out his gear, a stone hammer! it was a bit big for a hammer and kept it
🦌…🌰
(Katana let out a gasp as he had to suddenly hold up the kid and their honestly pretty heavy gear, managing to lift himself up to full posture again once he fully adjusted. Hyperlaser dropped the stone on the pavement as he held his hands out, not wanting Katana to fall over because of the extra weight, letting out a sigh as he managed to right himself.)
"Careful with that thing, I nearly dropped you-" (Katana chuckled, putting the kid back on the ground to prevent anyone from accidentally falling.)
"If you wanna hit the rock make sure to tell us when first in case any shards go flying, yeah? We also don't want you to get hurt."
🦌…🌰
the kid wobbled a bit and held onto Katana, Nodding at Hyperlaser, he looked at Hyperlaser before sneezing into his elbow. He poked Katanas horns
🦌…🌰
(Placing the kid on the ground in front of the rock, Katana crouched down to make sure the kid was all lined up with the rock before they hit it.)
🦌…🌰
the boy took his hammer out and smashed the rock. thew rock broke a bit and he smashed it again, it broke a bit more
the boy then jumped around in joy " Yayy!!! I smashed it! "
🦌…🌰
(Lightly holding the weight of the hammer in his claw, Katana grinned under his mask.) "Not bad, once you get older i'm sure your gear will be quite powerful."
🦌…🌰
the little boy jumped around in circles cheering for himself in excitement
" YayayayayYAY!!!! '
he had little wings and they flapped rapidly. as he jumped, he even flew a bit off the ground
🦌…🌰
(Clocking the wings, Katana looks back at Hyper with a little bit of surprise in his gaze. Mainly deities had wings... basic demons couldn't fly. Neither of the two are deities... ohhh boy.)
🦌…🌰
the little demon hugged Hyperlaser and Katana tightly. It felt like a little squeeze to the both of them. he felt Wonderhoy
🦌…🌰
(after the hug, Hyperlaser picks Stone up and puts them over his shoulders.)
"So. about that food place?"
(Katana starts ahead, probably to a little cafe or something where they can get Stone something to eat)
(OOC: this is going to be chaos because of the amount of confusion that'll ensue for both parties courtesy of it being cross-fandom lol)
=====
-> There's a four-member party walking around, all confused as to where they are.
-- Zoey, Aura, Elvira, & Amber (@prismsassortmentofocs (Aura and Elvira will be differentiated by putting their names before their dialogue))
(The two have gone out shopping! Just looking around at different stalls, Katana's holding all of the bags over his arm pointing out things to Hyper, while he's looking around and scanning the crowd. He ends up spotting the four first, being slightly taken aback when he sees the lack of horns on their head. Hyper lightly tugs at Katana's sleeve, grabbing the demon's attention and pulling it towards the four.)
"They look confused, don't they?"
"Yes. Do you think they're from here?? The lack of horns is... peculiar. I've never seen something breathing with a lack of them."
“…”
Elvira: “What… is this place?”
“I don’t know.”
“We should find someone to ask, don’t ya think?”
Aura: “Yeah…”
(After observing their mannerisms, Hyper continues to look through the stalls, Katana glancing back ever so often to see if the four need help or not. He doesn't want to eavesdrop, but he does confirm that the group is VERY lost)
-> yeup, they look like they need some guidance.
OOC: FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS UH ERM GRINS "Should I... go over and help them?"
Hyperlaser pauses for a moment before responding. "If you feel the need to, i wouldn't stop you."
(With a nod, Katana goes off towards the group. Reminder, this man is 6'8 and is probably the largest person in the crowd by far, poor guy. He's attempting to seem friendly but it's... REALLY hard to tell with his mask.)
(OOC: DHHDHSHDH IT'S FINE)
-> Of the four, Elvira is the only one to get startled. The others simply glance over, with Zoey and Amber looking stoic while Aura seems curious.
(Katana tilts his head as he waves, observing the four through the narrow eye holes in his mask. Clocking Elvira's anxiousness he shuffles away from her to give her more space before asking the entire group a single, fairly simple question) "Are you all doing alright?"
“Yes…”
Aura: “Yeah, but where are we?”
-> Amber is standing back with Elvira, trying to calm her down.
OOC: HOW DID I WRONGBLOG AUGH THAT COULD'VE BEEN DISASTROUS
"Ah you're.. you're in the Inpherno, in uhhh.. Crossroads. You four don't look anything like demons with the lack of horns on your head and uh. Your hair."
(Katana points at his own head topped with poofy white.. fur?? Almost?? That flows down around his mid back.)
"You don't seem hurt but.. also like no one I've ever seen before. Who are you guys."
(Hyperlaser vagely looks in the direction of the five, his antenne perking up to catch what the others say in response to Katana.)
"We're all humans... as for introductions... I'm Zoey Yagami, and the others are my crewmates..."
-> She begins gesturing at the others as she speaks.
"...their names are Aura Moonsilver, Amber Winchester, and Elvira Rivers.
-> Of the four, only Zoey and Elvira are carrying any kind of equipment. A staff, tome, and crystal ball for the former, and a spear, katana, and bow, the first and second of which are kept sheathed in some way, for the latter. Aura has nothing on her that bears any semblance to a weapon, and Amber feels no need to show the martial arts style she uses.
(@hypertana-posts)
"Humans..???"
(Behind his mask, Katana's eye narrowed with confusion. Hyperlaser looked back to the demon running the stall, waved them a quick and polite goodbye before walking towards Katana, bags in hand. He nods a quick hello to the group, although staying silent and observing the four. Katana glances to his side, acknowledging his accidental spouse.)
"I haven't heard of your kind before.. and i'm assuming you haven't either." (Katana nudges Hyper, who double-takes, looking up briefly and nodding.) "Can I ask what your gears are? I see a few at your sides, though I am unsure which ones correspond to the others in your group... Ah- my apologies, by the way. My name is Katana, and this is Hyperlaser. We are demons."
(Hyperlaser is. Freakishly still. Doesn't really need to move his head to look around so its certainly intimidating to just see him "stare into the distance.")
"It'd probably be a bit complicated to explain, so I'll need to figure out how to sum it up... anyways, the weapons I wield are spirit weapons, each of which were blessed by the queen of the underworld and goddess of spring, Persephone."
Elvira: "I use weapons made of an Arcanium alloy, which lets them conduct magic more easily than ordinary weapons would..."
"Neither Aura nor m'self use any sort o' weapons. I use hand-to-hand martial arts, and she uses magic all on its own, whereas the rest o' us use it alongside other skills."
(Katana, slightly unsatisfied with the answer, and even more confused as to how these "humans" don't even have a gear, tilts his head slightly.) "Nno.. i'm talking about your gear. You know.. this?"
(As if on queue, a perfectly ornamented and well-polished katana appears in Katana's hand, as if he just grabbed it out of a sheath at his side. No sound or showy effects... just pure summoning. It is massive compared to the humans, well suited to the demon infront of them. Hyperlaser glances to his side, then reaches behind him and in the same manner, summons his own gear, which being real, is only a few inches shorter than Hyper himself. He quickly holds it at his side to not scare the company infront of the two demons, facing the nose of the gun to the stone path underneath them.)
"Are you humans.. gearless? I've never heard of this Persephone as well." (At this point, there's more unanswerable questions swirling around in Katana's head than he orignally expected after talking to the four.)
“If ‘gears’ are meant to be synonymous with weapons, then… no, not quite.”
(Katana hums in acknowledgement, looking at Hyperlaser, who still refuses to talk.)
"Well..." (the demon continues) "Human, demon, gear or gearless, all of you are lost and shelterless, I assume? Either of us may be able to host you for awhile until you gather your footing or find a way back home, which... I most likely do not know of." (Hyperlaser clears his throat, turning the attention on him.)
"I do not reccomend staying with me if you're sensitive to the cold."
Elvira: "W-we've grown used to it, being travelers who've stayed in some... pretty extreme places..."
(Hyperlaser nods, he understands resting in places that could also be considered extreme. Like under a blanket of gunfire.)
"Do you guys happen to have any bux? That's the.. uhm currency around here, for every faction and it'll be pretty important if you want to gain your footing." (Katana shifts from foot to foot subtly, the group is very nice but he highly doubts that they'll be able to get employed because as of right now, they do not exist. They are not demons, they didn't even know where they were at first.. whoolleee lotta complicated things. It's definitely better if they get home asap.)
“Nay, the only sort o’ currency we’ve got is Galleons.”
"Ohhhh... lovelyy.." (The sarcasm is plastered on pretty thick in his voice as Katana's mask hides his grimace. Either he or Hyper can provide shelter or get them a hotel room but money is a whole separate problem.)
"If bounty hunting is an option here, we could easily do that."
(Katana glances at Hyper and takes a mental step back, he doesn't know a lot about the business. It's not his place to speak. Hyperlaser scans the group up and down again, eyes landing on Elvira a little bit longer than the others before he waves them all into a small bar.)
"If we're gonna talk about bounty hunting or assassinations, we are not doing it in public."
(His voice was stern, but understanding of the choice.)
"Right- Right. I'd be... glad to avoid drawing any unwanted attention similar to what we get back at home, anyways."
-> What's she talking about?
(That sort of piqued his attention. Not bothering to pry just yet, Hyper turns on his heel, walking back into the crowd and putting his gear back on his back, de-summoning it. Katana follows pretty quickly behind, doing the same with his gear and occasionally glancing back to make sure the four are following them.)
-> Each of the four's body language is different - Zoey is reserved and stoic, Aura carries herself with confidence, Amber seems neutral, and Elvira's posture shows meekness.
(Opening the door to the bar, Hyperlaser held the door while Katana led them to the stereotypical corner table for all those secret conversations. The bar was small but lively, most demons focused on their own conversations.)
"Sure hope that not havin' many know us 'ere will make things easier on us. Bein' recognized back at home has... consequences we ain't exactly fond of."
(Sitting down, Hyperlaser nods.)
"I myself am not that recognizable in public because my job is on the quiet side, but anyone with close ties to the Blackrock government, positive or negative will recognize me on sight. Good thing is most of those people don't live to tell the tale."
"Depending on how long you stay though, that status may change." (Katana piped up, glancing to his side at the other demons in the bar briefly.)
"Being as renowned as we are means that we... unfortunately often have to deal with things such as attempts on our lives by criminals."
Elvira: "It doesn't really help that the Agora puts out news about basically every good deed we do..."
"Well, good deeds won't get you too far here."
(Katana nudges Hyper and he looks to his side before he corrects himself)
"Ahem- sorry. I meant that, typically, if you want to get into bounty hunting, the people you'll be dealing with will not be nice or willing to accept nice gestures in the slightest. Civs don't mind nice demons but it can be unexpected."
“We can find a way to take things up on our own. Back at home, the process was just grabbing a poster showing what a criminal looks like, finding and defeating them, bringing them to the Grand Navy to be paid by them, and then letting the Navy do its work.”
"I guess it's the same? Usually mercenaries or bounty hunters belong to a faction or organization and they tend to target each other due to the disagreements in said factions. Judging by the fact you aren't demons, i believe you'll have to stay factionless and do bounties for the Banlands."
(OOC: this is going to be chaos because of the amount of confusion that'll ensue for both parties courtesy of it being cross-fandom lol)

🦌…🌰
a little demon with brown horns tapped on hyperlaser and katana
" papapapappapapa... papa.. "
this child was NOT their child.
🦌…🌰
-@creator-is-herexp
OOC: New rp arc lets go (probably gonna have to start tagging these)
"Oh."
(Katana looks down at the little demon, a little dumbstruck for a moment before looking over to Hyper and shrugging.)
"Over here, bud."
(Hyperlaser crouches down with his arms out, allowing the kid to come to him)
OOC: lmfao keyword was./j
🦌…🌰
The child ran into hyperlasers arms and hugged him smiling and giggling,
" Papa!.. I.. uh.. "
it stumbled over its words trying to remember something
" I found this biiig rock! And i picked it up and i have it now!! Do you wanna see it? "
The child ran off to illumina knows where and came back dragging a bag on the ground and gave it to katana and hyperlaser
🦌…🌰
(Looking mildly confused, Hyper looks up at Katana blankly for a short bit. Their gazes shifted and lingered on the bag for a bit, Hyperlaser scrutinizing the shape of the bag for a long while, muffled whirrs and beeps coming from inside his helmet before they all abruptly stop. Katana switches his attention to the little demon while Hyper cautiously looks around the bag, hesitant to open it.)
"Little one, uhm-" (Katana is incredibly hesitant as to say the wrong things, not wanting to upset the little kid by stating that the two are in fact... not their parents.) "Can you tell us where you found the rock?"
🦌…🌰
" I found the rock in a verryy pretty pond, there were a lot of fish in it!! And i got hungry when i saw them! "
It opened the bag to show a rock with dirt and moss, and it was a bit big
🦌…🌰
"And you were able to haul it all the way here? Impressive."
(Hyperlaser strikes up a conversation with the little demon about the rock and the fish and where they came from, nodding and taking the rock out of the bag with some effort. Holding a claw to the chin of his mask, Katana nods and thinks, looking around at their surroundings. There isn't a lot of demons here, and a spawn fountain so out in the open??? No that.. couldn't be it. This kid had to be lost and mistook the two as their parents. One would usually understand their mistake by now though. Looking back at the little demon, he places his claw lightly on the kids head.)
"Sayyy kiddo.. any older demons here you may recognize? Anyone like parents or guardians...? " (He has plenty more questions, as does Hyperlaser .. but one at a time, to not overwhelm them.)
🦌…🌰
it shook its head and hugged Katana
" Just you papa and dad!! "
the young demon yawned, rubbing its eye and looked at katanas mask before pulling away.
🦌…🌰
(Blink blink. Well it was worth a try. Katana looks at Hyper, who's given up on scrutinizing the rock, and they just... don't know what to do, really. They have been given a child for some reason, and no one else here is about to take care of them sooo.. Katana sighs. Neither of their factions are a good place for this kid to live and there's a lot of complications- stresstresstresstresstresstress, Katana is.. pacing now.)
🦌…🌰
the child looked at katana, wondering why he was pacing, it tapped hyperlasers back before asking
" Dad, why is papa doing that? "
It pointed to katana, still pacing, it thought katana was possessed by the spirit of a dog ghost. Why?? Kid logic or something
🦌…🌰
"He's just stressed, yeah? We didn't expect you to come up to us today, not even a second to spare and prepare something special."
(Hyperlaser spoke very matter-of-factly, but in a manner that was straightforward for the kid to understand. He places a hand on top of the kid's head, standing up from the crouch he was in when observing the rock. Arms crossed, Hyper faced Katana, while simultaneously allowing his helmet to scan the kid, observing their horns and unique features before fully focusing on Katana and beckoning him over with a hand motion.)
"Don't worry so much, Katana. We'll be okay, there's no need to stress about things that might not happen."
(Katana nods and lightly taps his mask against Hyper's, looking down at the kid, unsure about how to continue this whole ordeal without panicking again.)
🦌…🌰
the small demon went up to katana and gave him a hug, looking up at him with a smile
" Does this make you feel better, papa? "
it gave katana a little pat on the arm
🦌…🌰
(Fondness crept into his expression as he looked down at the kid, he still didn't know what to do... but he sure as hell can act like it. Crouching down to the kid's level, Katana nodded.)
"Yes. Thank you." (He hugs the kid back, and after a short while picks them up and places them on his shoulder. Looking up at them Katana asks) "Sayyy.. are you a little hungry?"
🦌…🌰
the child nodded, clapping and kicking their feet back and fourth
" Yea!! Yea!! but does dad want? "
They pointed to Hyperlaser, looking at Katana innocently. the little demon looked excited. It hugged Katanas head after clapping
🦌…🌰
(Katana looks back at Hyper, who shrugs. Can't really eat well because of his helmet, Katana probably won't eat anything either.)
"We'll be fine kiddo, don't worry."
(Hyper pauses to look at the rock on the ground. Is that the kid's gear? or is it genuinely just a rock. He puts it back in the bag and lifts it up, letting out a pretty big sigh when he manages to. That thing is HEAVY how did such a small demon manage to carry it all the way here.)
"Before we do go somewhere to eat though, I'd like to see where you found this rock so I can confirm a theory of mine. Yeah? You're gonna have to lead me and Katana."
🦌…🌰
the demon pondered. looking into space for a few minutes..
" A pond! I'm gonna use my hammer on the rock for fun! " He took out his gear, a stone hammer! it was a bit big for a hammer and kept it
🦌…🌰
(Katana let out a gasp as he had to suddenly hold up the kid and their honestly pretty heavy gear, managing to lift himself up to full posture again once he fully adjusted. Hyperlaser dropped the stone on the pavement as he held his hands out, not wanting Katana to fall over because of the extra weight, letting out a sigh as he managed to right himself.)
"Careful with that thing, I nearly dropped you-" (Katana chuckled, putting the kid back on the ground to prevent anyone from accidentally falling.)
"If you wanna hit the rock make sure to tell us when first in case any shards go flying, yeah? We also don't want you to get hurt."
🦌…🌰
the kid wobbled a bit and held onto Katana, Nodding at Hyperlaser, he looked at Hyperlaser before sneezing into his elbow. He poked Katanas horns
🦌…🌰
(Placing the kid on the ground in front of the rock, Katana crouched down to make sure the kid was all lined up with the rock before they hit it.)
🦌…🌰
the boy took his hammer out and smashed the rock. thew rock broke a bit and he smashed it again, it broke a bit more
the boy then jumped around in joy " Yayy!!! I smashed it! "
🦌…🌰
(Lightly holding the weight of the hammer in his claw, Katana grinned under his mask.) "Not bad, once you get older i'm sure your gear will be quite powerful."
🦌…🌰
the little boy jumped around in circles cheering for himself in excitement
" YayayayayYAY!!!! '
he had little wings and they flapped rapidly. as he jumped, he even flew a bit off the ground
🦌…🌰
(Clocking the wings, Katana looks back at Hyper with a little bit of surprise in his gaze. Mainly deities had wings... basic demons couldn't fly. Neither of the two are deities... ohhh boy.)
🦌…🌰
a little demon with brown horns tapped on hyperlaser and katana
" papapapappapapa... papa.. "
this child was NOT their child.
🦌…🌰
-@creator-is-herexp
OOC: New rp arc lets go (probably gonna have to start tagging these)
"Oh."
(Katana looks down at the little demon, a little dumbstruck for a moment before looking over to Hyper and shrugging.)
"Over here, bud."
(Hyperlaser crouches down with his arms out, allowing the kid to come to him)
OOC: lmfao keyword was./j
🦌…🌰
The child ran into hyperlasers arms and hugged him smiling and giggling,
" Papa!.. I.. uh.. "
it stumbled over its words trying to remember something
" I found this biiig rock! And i picked it up and i have it now!! Do you wanna see it? "
The child ran off to illumina knows where and came back dragging a bag on the ground and gave it to katana and hyperlaser
🦌…🌰
(Looking mildly confused, Hyper looks up at Katana blankly for a short bit. Their gazes shifted and lingered on the bag for a bit, Hyperlaser scrutinizing the shape of the bag for a long while, muffled whirrs and beeps coming from inside his helmet before they all abruptly stop. Katana switches his attention to the little demon while Hyper cautiously looks around the bag, hesitant to open it.)
"Little one, uhm-" (Katana is incredibly hesitant as to say the wrong things, not wanting to upset the little kid by stating that the two are in fact... not their parents.) "Can you tell us where you found the rock?"
🦌…🌰
" I found the rock in a verryy pretty pond, there were a lot of fish in it!! And i got hungry when i saw them! "
It opened the bag to show a rock with dirt and moss, and it was a bit big
🦌…🌰
"And you were able to haul it all the way here? Impressive."
(Hyperlaser strikes up a conversation with the little demon about the rock and the fish and where they came from, nodding and taking the rock out of the bag with some effort.

(OOC: this is going to be chaos because of the amount of confusion that'll ensue for both parties courtesy of it being cross-fandom lol)
=====
-> There's a four-member party walking around, all confused as to where they are.
-- Zoey, Aura, Elvira, & Amber (@prismsassortmentofocs (Aura and Elvira will be differentiated by putting their names before their dialogue))
(The two have gone out shopping! Just looking around at different stalls, Katana's holding all of the bags over his arm pointing out things to Hyper, while he's looking around and scanning the crowd. He ends up spotting the four first, being slightly taken aback when he sees the lack of horns on their head. Hyper lightly tugs at Katana's sleeve, grabbing the demon's attention and pulling it towards the four.)
"They look confused, don't they?"
"Yes. Do you think they're from here?? The lack of horns is... peculiar. I've never seen something breathing with a lack of them."
“…”
Elvira: “What… is this place?”
“I don’t know.”
“We should find someone to ask, don’t ya think?”
Aura: “Yeah…”
(After observing their mannerisms, Hyper continues to look through the stalls, Katana glancing back ever so often to see if the four need help or not. He doesn't want to eavesdrop, but he does confirm that the group is VERY lost)
-> yeup, they look like they need some guidance.
OOC: FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS UH ERM GRINS "Should I... go over and help them?"
Hyperlaser pauses for a moment before responding. "If you feel the need to, i wouldn't stop you."
(With a nod, Katana goes off towards the group. Reminder, this man is 6'8 and is probably the largest person in the crowd by far, poor guy. He's attempting to seem friendly but it's... REALLY hard to tell with his mask.)
(OOC: DHHDHSHDH IT'S FINE)
-> Of the four, Elvira is the only one to get startled. The others simply glance over, with Zoey and Amber looking stoic while Aura seems curious.
(Katana tilts his head as he waves, observing the four through the narrow eye holes in his mask. Clocking Elvira's anxiousness he shuffles away from her to give her more space before asking the entire group a single, fairly simple question) "Are you all doing alright?"
“Yes…”
Aura: “Yeah, but where are we?”
-> Amber is standing back with Elvira, trying to calm her down.
OOC: HOW DID I WRONGBLOG AUGH THAT COULD'VE BEEN DISASTROUS
"Ah you're.. you're in the Inpherno, in uhhh.. Crossroads. You four don't look anything like demons with the lack of horns on your head and uh. Your hair."
(Katana points at his own head topped with poofy white.. fur?? Almost?? That flows down around his mid back.)
"You don't seem hurt but.. also like no one I've ever seen before. Who are you guys."
(Hyperlaser vagely looks in the direction of the five, his antenne perking up to catch what the others say in response to Katana.)
"We're all humans... as for introductions... I'm Zoey Yagami, and the others are my crewmates..."
-> She begins gesturing at the others as she speaks.
"...their names are Aura Moonsilver, Amber Winchester, and Elvira Rivers.
-> Of the four, only Zoey and Elvira are carrying any kind of equipment. A staff, tome, and crystal ball for the former, and a spear, katana, and bow, the first and second of which are kept sheathed in some way, for the latter. Aura has nothing on her that bears any semblance to a weapon, and Amber feels no need to show the martial arts style she uses.
(@hypertana-posts)
"Humans..???"
(Behind his mask, Katana's eye narrowed with confusion. Hyperlaser looked back to the demon running the stall, waved them a quick and polite goodbye before walking towards Katana, bags in hand. He nods a quick hello to the group, although staying silent and observing the four. Katana glances to his side, acknowledging his accidental spouse.)
"I haven't heard of your kind before.. and i'm assuming you haven't either." (Katana nudges Hyper, who double-takes, looking up briefly and nodding.) "Can I ask what your gears are? I see a few at your sides, though I am unsure which ones correspond to the others in your group... Ah- my apologies, by the way. My name is Katana, and this is Hyperlaser. We are demons."
(Hyperlaser is. Freakishly still. Doesn't really need to move his head to look around so its certainly intimidating to just see him "stare into the distance.")
"It'd probably be a bit complicated to explain, so I'll need to figure out how to sum it up... anyways, the weapons I wield are spirit weapons, each of which were blessed by the queen of the underworld and goddess of spring, Persephone."
Elvira: "I use weapons made of an Arcanium alloy, which lets them conduct magic more easily than ordinary weapons would..."
"Neither Aura nor m'self use any sort o' weapons. I use hand-to-hand martial arts, and she uses magic all on its own, whereas the rest o' us use it alongside other skills."
(Katana, slightly unsatisfied with the answer, and even more confused as to how these "humans" don't even have a gear, tilts his head slightly.) "Nno.. i'm talking about your gear. You know.. this?"
(As if on queue, a perfectly ornamented and well-polished katana appears in Katana's hand, as if he just grabbed it out of a sheath at his side. No sound or showy effects... just pure summoning. It is massive compared to the humans, well suited to the demon infront of them. Hyperlaser glances to his side, then reaches behind him and in the same manner, summons his own gear, which being real, is only a few inches shorter than Hyper himself. He quickly holds it at his side to not scare the company infront of the two demons, facing the nose of the gun to the stone path underneath them.)
"Are you humans.. gearless? I've never heard of this Persephone as well." (At this point, there's more unanswerable questions swirling around in Katana's head than he orignally expected after talking to the four.)
“If ‘gears’ are meant to be synonymous with weapons, then… no, not quite.”
(Katana hums in acknowledgement, looking at Hyperlaser, who still refuses to talk.)
"Well..." (the demon continues) "Human, demon, gear or gearless, all of you are lost and shelterless, I assume? Either of us may be able to host you for awhile until you gather your footing or find a way back home, which... I most likely do not know of." (Hyperlaser clears his throat, turning the attention on him.)
"I do not reccomend staying with me if you're sensitive to the cold."
Elvira: "W-we've grown used to it, being travelers who've stayed in some... pretty extreme places..."
(Hyperlaser nods, he understands resting in places that could also be considered extreme. Like under a blanket of gunfire.)
"Do you guys happen to have any bux? That's the.. uhm currency around here, for every faction and it'll be pretty important if you want to gain your footing." (Katana shifts from foot to foot subtly, the group is very nice but he highly doubts that they'll be able to get employed because as of right now, they do not exist. They are not demons, they didn't even know where they were at first.. whoolleee lotta complicated things. It's definitely better if they get home asap.)
“Nay, the only sort o’ currency we’ve got is Galleons.”
"Ohhhh... lovelyy.." (The sarcasm is plastered on pretty thick in his voice as Katana's mask hides his grimace. Either he or Hyper can provide shelter or get them a hotel room but money is a whole separate problem.)
"If bounty hunting is an option here, we could easily do that."
(Katana glances at Hyper and takes a mental step back, he doesn't know a lot about the business. It's not his place to speak. Hyperlaser scans the group up and down again, eyes landing on Elvira a little bit longer than the others before he waves them all into a small bar.)
"If we're gonna talk about bounty hunting or assassinations, we are not doing it in public."
(His voice was stern, but understanding of the choice.)
"Right- Right. I'd be... glad to avoid drawing any unwanted attention similar to what we get back at home, anyways."
-> What's she talking about?
(That sort of piqued his attention. Not bothering to pry just yet, Hyper turns on his heel, walking back into the crowd and putting his gear back on his back, de-summoning it. Katana follows pretty quickly behind, doing the same with his gear and occasionally glancing back to make sure the four are following them.)
-> Each of the four's body language is different - Zoey is reserved and stoic, Aura carries herself with confidence, Amber seems neutral, and Elvira's posture shows meekness.
(Opening the door to the bar, Hyperlaser held the door while Katana led them to the stereotypical corner table for all those secret conversations. The bar was small but lively, most demons focused on their own conversations.)
"Sure hope that not havin' many know us 'ere will make things easier on us. Bein' recognized back at home has... consequences we ain't exactly fond of."
(Sitting down, Hyperlaser nods.)
"I myself am not that recognizable in public because my job is on the quiet side, but anyone with close ties to the Blackrock government, positive or negative will recognize me on sight. Good thing is most of those people don't live to tell the tale."
"Depending on how long you stay though, that status may change." (Katana piped up, glancing to his side at the other demons in the bar briefly.)
were humans ever in the inpherno (Before demons)
OOC: Tbh even i don't know so I'll have to go off of most likely/headcannon, I'll still answer in character tho!
"No, I believe demons are the only advanced sentience thats ever happened in the inpherno. I suppose we're like parallels as we've developed in similar ways, but I doubt one of us is the decendant of another.'

"Oh."
(Katana looks down at the little demon, a little dumbstruck for a moment before looking over to Hyper and shrugging.)
"Over here, bud."
(Hyperlaser crouches down with his arms out, allowing the kid to come to him)

The child ran into hyperlasers arms and hugged him smiling and giggling,
" Papa!.. I.. uh.. "
it stumbled over its words trying to remember something
" I found this biiig rock! And i picked it up and i have it now!! Do you wanna see it? "
The child ran off to illumina knows where and came back dragging a bag on the ground and gave it to katana and hyperlaser
🦌…🌰
(Looking mildly confused, Hyper looks up at Katana blankly for a short bit. Their gazes shifted and lingered on the bag for a bit, Hyperlaser scrutinizing the shape of the bag for a long while, muffled whirrs and beeps coming from inside his helmet before they all abruptly stop. Katana switches his attention to the little demon while Hyper cautiously looks around the bag, hesitant to open it.)
"Little one, uhm-" (Katana is incredibly hesitant as to say the wrong things, not wanting to upset the little kid by stating that the two are in fact... not their parents.) "Can you tell us where you found the rock?"
🦌…🌰
" I found the rock in a verryy pretty pond, there were a lot of fish in it!! And i got hungry when i saw them! "
It opened the bag to show a rock with dirt and moss, and it was a bit big
🦌…🌰
"And you were able to haul it all the way here? Impressive."
(Hyperlaser strikes up a conversation with the little demon about the rock and the fish and where they came from, nodding and taking the rock out of the bag with some effort. Holding a claw to the chin of his mask, Katana nods and thinks, looking around at their surroundings. There isn't a lot of demons here, and a spawn fountain so out in the open??? No that.. couldn't be it. This kid had to be lost and mistook the two as their parents. One would usually understand their mistake by now though. Looking back at the little demon, he places his claw lightly on the kids head.)
"Sayyy kiddo.. any older demons here you may recognize? Anyone like parents or guardians...? " (He has plenty more questions, as does Hyperlaser .. but one at a time, to not overwhelm them.)
🦌…🌰
it shook its head and hugged Katana
" Just you papa and dad!! "
the young demon yawned, rubbing its eye and looked at katanas mask before pulling away.
🦌…🌰
(Blink blink. Well it was worth a try. Katana looks at Hyper, who's given up on scrutinizing the rock, and they just... don't know what to do, really. They have been given a child for some reason, and no one else here is about to take care of them sooo.. Katana sighs. Neither of their factions are a good place for this kid to live and there's a lot of complications- stresstresstresstresstresstress, Katana is.. pacing now.)
🦌…🌰
the child looked at katana, wondering why he was pacing, it tapped hyperlasers back before asking
" Dad, why is papa doing that? "
It pointed to katana, still pacing, it thought katana was possessed by the spirit of a dog ghost. Why?? Kid logic or something
🦌…🌰
"He's just stressed, yeah? We didn't expect you to come up to us today, not even a second to spare and prepare something special."
(Hyperlaser spoke very matter-of-factly, but in a manner that was straightforward for the kid to understand. He places a hand on top of the kid's head, standing up from the crouch he was in when observing the rock. Arms crossed, Hyper faced Katana, while simultaneously allowing his helmet to scan the kid, observing their horns and unique features before fully focusing on Katana and beckoning him over with a hand motion.)
"Don't worry so much, Katana. We'll be okay, there's no need to stress about things that might not happen."
(Katana nods and lightly taps his mask against Hyper's, looking down at the kid, unsure about how to continue this whole ordeal without panicking again.)
🦌…🌰
the small demon went up to katana and gave him a hug, looking up at him with a smile
" Does this make you feel better, papa? "
it gave katana a little pat on the arm
🦌…🌰
(Fondness crept into his expression as he looked down at the kid, he still didn't know what to do... but he sure as hell can act like it. Crouching down to the kid's level, Katana nodded.)
"Yes. Thank you." (He hugs the kid back, and after a short while picks them up and places them on his shoulder. Looking up at them Katana asks) "Sayyy.. are you a little hungry?"
🦌…🌰
the child nodded, clapping and kicking their feet back and fourth
" Yea!! Yea!! but does dad want? "
They pointed to Hyperlaser, looking at Katana innocently. the little demon looked excited. It hugged Katanas head after clapping
🦌…🌰
(Katana looks back at Hyper, who shrugs. Can't really eat well because of his helmet, Katana probably won't eat anything either.)
"We'll be fine kiddo, don't worry."
(Hyper pauses to look at the rock on the ground. Is that the kid's gear? or is it genuinely just a rock. He puts it back in the bag and lifts it up, letting out a pretty big sigh when he manages to. That thing is HEAVY how did such a small demon manage to carry it all the way here.)
"Before we do go somewhere to eat though, I'd like to see where you found this rock so I can confirm a theory of mine. Yeah? You're gonna have to lead me and Katana."
🦌…🌰
the demon pondered. looking into space for a few minutes..
" A pond! I'm gonna use my hammer on the rock for fun! " He took out his gear, a stone hammer! it was a bit big for a hammer and kept it
🦌…🌰
(Katana let out a gasp as he had to suddenly hold up the kid and their honestly pretty heavy gear, managing to lift himself up to full posture again once he fully adjusted. Hyperlaser dropped the stone on the pavement as he held his hands out, not wanting Katana to fall over because of the extra weight, letting out a sigh as he managed to right himself.)
"Careful with that thing, I nearly dropped you-" (Katana chuckled, putting the kid back on the ground to prevent anyone from accidentally falling.)
"If you wanna hit the rock make sure to tell us when first in case any shards go flying, yeah? We also don't want you to get hurt."
🦌…🌰
the kid wobbled a bit and held onto Katana, Nodding at Hyperlaser, he looked at Hyperlaser before sneezing into his elbow. He poked Katanas horns
🦌…🌰
(Placing the kid on the ground in front of the rock, Katana crouched down to make sure the kid was all lined up with the rock before they hit it.)
🦌…🌰
a little demon with brown horns tapped on hyperlaser and katana
" papapapappapapa... papa.. "

(OOC: this is going to be chaos because of the amount of confusion that'll ensue for both parties courtesy of it being cross-fandom lol)
=====
-> There's a four-member party walking around, all confused as to where they are.
-- Zoey, Aura, Elvira, & Amber (@prismsassortmentofocs (Aura and Elvira will be differentiated by putting their names before their dialogue))
(The two have gone out shopping! Just looking around at different stalls, Katana's holding all of the bags over his arm pointing out things to Hyper, while he's looking around and scanning the crowd. He ends up spotting the four first, being slightly taken aback when he sees the lack of horns on their head. Hyper lightly tugs at Katana's sleeve, grabbing the demon's attention and pulling it towards the four.)
"They look confused, don't they?"
"Yes. Do you think they're from here?? The lack of horns is... peculiar. I've never seen something breathing with a lack of them."
“…”
Elvira: “What… is this place?”
“I don’t know.”
“We should find someone to ask, don’t ya think?”
Aura: “Yeah…”
(After observing their mannerisms, Hyper continues to look through the stalls, Katana glancing back ever so often to see if the four need help or not. He doesn't want to eavesdrop, but he does confirm that the group is VERY lost)
-> yeup, they look like they need some guidance.
OOC: FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS UH ERM GRINS "Should I... go over and help them?"
Hyperlaser pauses for a moment before responding. "If you feel the need to, i wouldn't stop you."
(With a nod, Katana goes off towards the group. Reminder, this man is 6'8 and is probably the largest person in the crowd by far, poor guy. He's attempting to seem friendly but it's... REALLY hard to tell with his mask.)
(OOC: DHHDHSHDH IT'S FINE)
-> Of the four, Elvira is the only one to get startled. The others simply glance over, with Zoey and Amber looking stoic while Aura seems curious.
(Katana tilts his head as he waves, observing the four through the narrow eye holes in his mask. Clocking Elvira's anxiousness he shuffles away from her to give her more space before asking the entire group a single, fairly simple question) "Are you all doing alright?"
“Yes…”
Aura: “Yeah, but where are we?”
-> Amber is standing back with Elvira, trying to calm her down.
OOC: HOW DID I WRONGBLOG AUGH THAT COULD'VE BEEN DISASTROUS
"Ah you're.. you're in the Inpherno, in uhhh.. Crossroads. You four don't look anything like demons with the lack of horns on your head and uh. Your hair."
(Katana points at his own head topped with poofy white.. fur?? Almost?? That flows down around his mid back.)
"You don't seem hurt but.. also like no one I've ever seen before. Who are you guys."
(Hyperlaser vagely looks in the direction of the five, his antenne perking up to catch what the others say in response to Katana.)
"We're all humans... as for introductions... I'm Zoey Yagami, and the others are my crewmates..."
-> She begins gesturing at the others as she speaks.
"...their names are Aura Moonsilver, Amber Winchester, and Elvira Rivers.
-> Of the four, only Zoey and Elvira are carrying any kind of equipment. A staff, tome, and crystal ball for the former, and a spear, katana, and bow, the first and second of which are kept sheathed in some way, for the latter. Aura has nothing on her that bears any semblance to a weapon, and Amber feels no need to show the martial arts style she uses.
(@hypertana-posts)
"Humans..???"
(Behind his mask, Katana's eye narrowed with confusion. Hyperlaser looked back to the demon running the stall, waved them a quick and polite goodbye before walking towards Katana, bags in hand. He nods a quick hello to the group, although staying silent and observing the four. Katana glances to his side, acknowledging his accidental spouse.)
"I haven't heard of your kind before.. and i'm assuming you haven't either." (Katana nudges Hyper, who double-takes, looking up briefly and nodding.) "Can I ask what your gears are? I see a few at your sides, though I am unsure which ones correspond to the others in your group... Ah- my apologies, by the way. My name is Katana, and this is Hyperlaser. We are demons."
(Hyperlaser is. Freakishly still. Doesn't really need to move his head to look around so its certainly intimidating to just see him "stare into the distance.")
"It'd probably be a bit complicated to explain, so I'll need to figure out how to sum it up... anyways, the weapons I wield are spirit weapons, each of which were blessed by the queen of the underworld and goddess of spring, Persephone."
Elvira: "I use weapons made of an Arcanium alloy, which lets them conduct magic more easily than ordinary weapons would..."
"Neither Aura nor m'self use any sort o' weapons. I use hand-to-hand martial arts, and she uses magic all on its own, whereas the rest o' us use it alongside other skills."
(Katana, slightly unsatisfied with the answer, and even more confused as to how these "humans" don't even have a gear, tilts his head slightly.) "Nno.. i'm talking about your gear. You know.. this?"
(As if on queue, a perfectly ornamented and well-polished katana appears in Katana's hand, as if he just grabbed it out of a sheath at his side. No sound or showy effects... just pure summoning. It is massive compared to the humans, well suited to the demon infront of them. Hyperlaser glances to his side, then reaches behind him and in the same manner, summons his own gear, which being real, is only a few inches shorter than Hyper himself. He quickly holds it at his side to not scare the company infront of the two demons, facing the nose of the gun to the stone path underneath them.)
"Are you humans.. gearless? I've never heard of this Persephone as well." (At this point, there's more unanswerable questions swirling around in Katana's head than he orignally expected after talking to the four.)
“If ‘gears’ are meant to be synonymous with weapons, then… no, not quite.”
(Katana hums in acknowledgement, looking at Hyperlaser, who still refuses to talk.)
"Well..." (the demon continues) "Human, demon, gear or gearless, all of you are lost and shelterless, I assume? Either of us may be able to host you for awhile until you gather your footing or find a way back home, which... I most likely do not know of." (Hyperlaser clears his throat, turning the attention on him.)
"I do not reccomend staying with me if you're sensitive to the cold."
Elvira: "W-we've grown used to it, being travelers who've stayed in some... pretty extreme places..."
(Hyperlaser nods, he understands resting in places that could also be considered extreme. Like under a blanket of gunfire.)
"Do you guys happen to have any bux? That's the.. uhm currency around here, for every faction and it'll be pretty important if you want to gain your footing." (Katana shifts from foot to foot subtly, the group is very nice but he highly doubts that they'll be able to get employed because as of right now, they do not exist. They are not demons, they didn't even know where they were at first.. whoolleee lotta complicated things. It's definitely better if they get home asap.)
“Nay, the only sort o’ currency we’ve got is Galleons.”
"Ohhhh... lovelyy.." (The sarcasm is plastered on pretty thick in his voice as Katana's mask hides his grimace. Either he or Hyper can provide shelter or get them a hotel room but money is a whole separate problem.)
"If bounty hunting is an option here, we could easily do that."
(Katana glances at Hyper and takes a mental step back, he doesn't know a lot about the business. It's not his place to speak. Hyperlaser scans the group up and down again, eyes landing on Elvira a little bit longer than the others before he waves them all into a small bar.)
"If we're gonna talk about bounty hunting or assassinations, we are not doing it in public."
(His voice was stern, but understanding of the choice.)
"Right- Right. I'd be... glad to avoid drawing any unwanted attention similar to what we get back at home, anyways."
-> What's she talking about?
(That sort of piqued his attention. Not bothering to pry just yet, Hyper turns on his heel, walking back into the crowd and putting his gear back on his back, de-summoning it. Katana follows pretty quickly behind, doing the same with his gear and occasionally glancing back to make sure the four are following them.)

"Don't worry so much, Katana. We'll be okay, there's no need to stress about things that might not happen."
(Katana nods and lightly taps his mask against Hyper's, looking down at the kid, unsure about how to continue this whole ordeal without panicking again.)
🦌…🌰
the small demon went up to katana and gave him a hug, looking up at him with a smile
" Does this make you feel better, papa? "
it gave katana a little pat on the arm
🦌…🌰
(Fondness crept into his expression as he looked down at the kid, he still didn't know what to do... but he sure as hell can act like it. Crouching down to the kid's level, Katana nodded.)
"Yes. Thank you." (He hugs the kid back, and after a short while picks them up and places them on his shoulder. Looking up at them Katana asks) "Sayyy.. are you a little hungry?"
(OOC: this is going to be chaos because of the amount of confusion that'll ensue for both parties courtesy of it being cross-fandom lol)
=====
-> There's a four-member party walking around, all confused as to where they are.
-- Zoey, Aura, Elvira, & Amber (@prismsassortmentofocs (Aura and Elvira will be differentiated by putting their names before their dialogue))
(The two have gone out shopping! Just looking around at different stalls, Katana's holding all of the bags over his arm pointing out things to Hyper, while he's looking around and scanning the crowd. He ends up spotting the four first, being slightly taken aback when he sees the lack of horns on their head. Hyper lightly tugs at Katana's sleeve, grabbing the demon's attention and pulling it towards the four.)
"They look confused, don't they?"
"Yes. Do you think they're from here?? The lack of horns is... peculiar. I've never seen something breathing with a lack of them."
“…”
Elvira: “What… is this place?”
“I don’t know.”
“We should find someone to ask, don’t ya think?”
Aura: “Yeah…”
(After observing their mannerisms, Hyper continues to look through the stalls, Katana glancing back ever so often to see if the four need help or not. He doesn't want to eavesdrop, but he does confirm that the group is VERY lost)
-> yeup, they look like they need some guidance.
OOC: FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS UH ERM GRINS "Should I... go over and help them?"
Hyperlaser pauses for a moment before responding. "If you feel the need to, i wouldn't stop you."
(With a nod, Katana goes off towards the group. Reminder, this man is 6'8 and is probably the largest person in the crowd by far, poor guy. He's attempting to seem friendly but it's... REALLY hard to tell with his mask.)
(OOC: DHHDHSHDH IT'S FINE)
-> Of the four, Elvira is the only one to get startled. The others simply glance over, with Zoey and Amber looking stoic while Aura seems curious.
(Katana tilts his head as he waves, observing the four through the narrow eye holes in his mask. Clocking Elvira's anxiousness he shuffles away from her to give her more space before asking the entire group a single, fairly simple question) "Are you all doing alright?"
“Yes…”
Aura: “Yeah, but where are we?”
-> Amber is standing back with Elvira, trying to calm her down.
OOC: HOW DID I WRONGBLOG AUGH THAT COULD'VE BEEN DISASTROUS
"Ah you're.. you're in the Inpherno, in uhhh.. Crossroads. You four don't look anything like demons with the lack of horns on your head and uh. Your hair."
(Katana points at his own head topped with poofy white.. fur?? Almost?? That flows down around his mid back.)
"You don't seem hurt but.. also like no one I've ever seen before. Who are you guys."
(Hyperlaser vagely looks in the direction of the five, his antenne perking up to catch what the others say in response to Katana.)
"We're all humans... as for introductions... I'm Zoey Yagami, and the others are my crewmates..."
-> She begins gesturing at the others as she speaks.
"...their names are Aura Moonsilver, Amber Winchester, and Elvira Rivers.
-> Of the four, only Zoey and Elvira are carrying any kind of equipment. A staff, tome, and crystal ball for the former, and a spear, katana, and bow, the first and second of which are kept sheathed in some way, for the latter. Aura has nothing on her that bears any semblance to a weapon, and Amber feels no need to show the martial arts style she uses.
(@hypertana-posts)
"Humans..???"
(Behind his mask, Katana's eye narrowed with confusion. Hyperlaser looked back to the demon running the stall, waved them a quick and polite goodbye before walking towards Katana, bags in hand. He nods a quick hello to the group, although staying silent and observing the four. Katana glances to his side, acknowledging his accidental spouse.)
"I haven't heard of your kind before.. and i'm assuming you haven't either." (Katana nudges Hyper, who double-takes, looking up briefly and nodding.) "Can I ask what your gears are? I see a few at your sides, though I am unsure which ones correspond to the others in your group... Ah- my apologies, by the way. My name is Katana, and this is Hyperlaser. We are demons."
(Hyperlaser is. Freakishly still. Doesn't really need to move his head to look around so its certainly intimidating to just see him "stare into the distance.")
"It'd probably be a bit complicated to explain, so I'll need to figure out how to sum it up... anyways, the weapons I wield are spirit weapons, each of which were blessed by the queen of the underworld and goddess of spring, Persephone."
Elvira: "I use weapons made of an Arcanium alloy, which lets them conduct magic more easily than ordinary weapons would..."
"Neither Aura nor m'self use any sort o' weapons. I use hand-to-hand martial arts, and she uses magic all on its own, whereas the rest o' us use it alongside other skills."
(Katana, slightly unsatisfied with the answer, and even more confused as to how these "humans" don't even have a gear, tilts his head slightly.) "Nno.. i'm talking about your gear. You know.. this?"
(As if on queue, a perfectly ornamented and well-polished katana appears in Katana's hand, as if he just grabbed it out of a sheath at his side. No sound or showy effects... just pure summoning. It is massive compared to the humans, well suited to the demon infront of them. Hyperlaser glances to his side, then reaches behind him and in the same manner, summons his own gear, which being real, is only a few inches shorter than Hyper himself. He quickly holds it at his side to not scare the company infront of the two demons, facing the nose of the gun to the stone path underneath them.)
"Are you humans.. gearless? I've never heard of this Persephone as well." (At this point, there's more unanswerable questions swirling around in Katana's head than he orignally expected after talking to the four.)
“If ‘gears’ are meant to be synonymous with weapons, then… no, not quite.”
(Katana hums in acknowledgement, looking at Hyperlaser, who still refuses to talk.)
"Well..." (the demon continues) "Human, demon, gear or gearless, all of you are lost and shelterless, I assume? Either of us may be able to host you for awhile until you gather your footing or find a way back home, which... I most likely do not know of." (Hyperlaser clears his throat, turning the attention on him.)
"I do not reccomend staying with me if you're sensitive to the cold."
Elvira: "W-we've grown used to it, being travelers who've stayed in some... pretty extreme places..."
(Hyperlaser nods, he understands resting in places that could also be considered extreme. Like under a blanket of gunfire.)
"Do you guys happen to have any bux? That's the.. uhm currency around here, for every faction and it'll be pretty important if you want to gain your footing." (Katana shifts from foot to foot subtly, the group is very nice but he highly doubts that they'll be able to get employed because as of right now, they do not exist. They are not demons, they didn't even know where they were at first.. whoolleee lotta complicated things. It's definitely better if they get home asap.)
“Nay, the only sort o’ currency we’ve got is Galleons.”
"Ohhhh... lovelyy.." (The sarcasm is plastered on pretty thick in his voice as Katana's mask hides his grimace. Either he or Hyper can provide shelter or get them a hotel room but money is a whole separate problem.)
"If bounty hunting is an option here, we could easily do that."
(Katana glances at Hyper and takes a mental step back, he doesn't know a lot about the business. It's not his place to speak. Hyperlaser scans the group up and down again, eyes landing on Elvira a little bit longer than the others before he waves them all into a small bar.)
"If we're gonna talk about bounty hunting or assassinations, we are not doing it in public."
(His voice was stern, but understanding of the choice.)
🦌…🌰
a little demon with brown horns tapped on hyperlaser and katana
" papapapappapapa... papa.. "
this child was NOT their child.
🦌…🌰
-@creator-is-herexp
OOC: New rp arc lets go (probably gonna have to start tagging these)
"Oh."
(Katana looks down at the little demon, a little dumbstruck for a moment before looking over to Hyper and shrugging.)
"Over here, bud."
(Hyperlaser crouches down with his arms out, allowing the kid to come to him)
OOC: lmfao keyword was./j
🦌…🌰
The child ran into hyperlasers arms and hugged him smiling and giggling,
" Papa!.. I.. uh.. "
it stumbled over its words trying to remember something
" I found this biiig rock! And i picked it up and i have it now!! Do you wanna see it? "
The child ran off to illumina knows where and came back dragging a bag on the ground and gave it to katana and hyperlaser
🦌…🌰
(Looking mildly confused, Hyper looks up at Katana blankly for a short bit. Their gazes shifted and lingered on the bag for a bit, Hyperlaser scrutinizing the shape of the bag for a long while, muffled whirrs and beeps coming from inside his helmet before they all abruptly stop. Katana switches his attention to the little demon while Hyper cautiously looks around the bag, hesitant to open it.)
"Little one, uhm-" (Katana is incredibly hesitant as to say the wrong things, not wanting to upset the little kid by stating that the two are in fact... not their parents.) "Can you tell us where you found the rock?"
🦌…🌰
" I found the rock in a verryy pretty pond, there were a lot of fish in it!! And i got hungry when i saw them! "
It opened the bag to show a rock with dirt and moss, and it was a bit big
🦌…🌰
"And you were able to haul it all the way here? Impressive."
(Hyperlaser strikes up a conversation with the little demon about the rock and the fish and where they came from, nodding and taking the rock out of the bag with some effort. Holding a claw to the chin of his mask, Katana nods and thinks, looking around at their surroundings. There isn't a lot of demons here, and a spawn fountain so out in the open??? No that.. couldn't be it. This kid had to be lost and mistook the two as their parents. One would usually understand their mistake by now though. Looking back at the little demon, he places his claw lightly on the kids head.)
"Sayyy kiddo.. any older demons here you may recognize? Anyone like parents or guardians...? " (He has plenty more questions, as does Hyperlaser .. but one at a time, to not overwhelm them.)
🦌…🌰
it shook its head and hugged Katana
" Just you papa and dad!! "
the young demon yawned, rubbing its eye and looked at katanas mask before pulling away.
🦌…🌰
(Blink blink. Well it was worth a try. Katana looks at Hyper, who's given up on scrutinizing the rock, and they just... don't know what to do, really. They have been given a child for some reason, and no one else here is about to take care of them sooo.. Katana sighs. Neither of their factions are a good place for this kid to live and there's a lot of complications- stresstresstresstresstresstress, Katana is.. pacing now.)
🦌…🌰
the child looked at katana, wondering why he was pacing, it tapped hyperlasers back before asking
" Dad, why is papa doing that? "
It pointed to katana, still pacing, it thought katana was possessed by the spirit of a dog ghost. Why?? Kid logic or something
🦌…🌰
"He's just stressed, yeah? We didn't expect you to come up to us today, not even a second to spare and prepare something special."
(Hyperlaser spoke very matter-of-factly, but in a manner that was straightforward for the kid to understand. He places a hand on top of the kid's head, standing up from the crouch he was in when observing the rock. Arms crossed, Hyper faced Katana, while simultaneously allowing his helmet to scan the kid, observing their horns and unique features before fully focusing on Katana and beckoning him over with a hand motion.)
"Don't worry so much, Katana. We'll be okay, there's no need to stress about things that might not happen."
(Katana nods and lightly taps his mask against Hyper's, looking down at the kid, unsure about how to continue this whole ordeal without panicking again.)
