“I know. We wouldn’t be speaking on such friendly terms otherwise.”

Nothing on his voice or attitude has changed significantly; yet there was an underlying threat within the words that didn’t make it a necessity.

“And while I you will have to elaborate on who ‘we’ are later on, exactly, I’m going to do some quick and clear explaining since you seem so reluctant.”

“Being able to see demons is not as uncommon as it may appear, yet they are a minority of the population, as you are aware of. Invisible to the civilian eyes… Just like we want it to be. Therefore-”

Green eyes looked pointedly at the teen, keeping her in place while one of his eyebrows moved up elegantly.

“Those with the ability must join the exorcists and thus swear secrecy. I am as obligated to come here as you are of joining this little charade; so I say let’s do it the easy way.”

~* Hannah wasn’t sure if she liked the sound of this, yet the man stood there with such an air of confidence it was like he’d done this time and time again.  But her Father wouldn’t allow anything like this, she studied from home for a reason.

“Look, I’m not going to tell anyone. Everyone thinks I’m mad anyway they wouldn’t believe me, but I can’t join any sort of group. I’m gonna say no thanks.” Venturing further into this strange tale seemed too wild even for her.

She paused as the sound of footsteps approached her door, most likely her father was home and about to check if she’d finished her assigned work from the tutor.

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

“I must have worded it very poorly if you thought there was a choice involved.”

The demon’s head gently titled towards his right, as if displeased by a minor inconvenience. A dramatic, long-suffering sigh escaped through his lips then.

“It would be a negligence on my part to leave you running around unsupervised, being a danger both to you and others.”

It looked like he was about to keep going, yet the soft tapping of shoes against the floor prevented him from it. For a second the headmaster entertained the idea of just vanishing or shifting into his beloved dog form... yet a thought crossed his head and, taking a step back he leaned against a wall near the door and snapped his fingers...

So that Hannah could see him but his father did not.

Not that he took the time of explaining that particular, tiny, insignificant detail, just pressing a slender finger against his lips and throwing a wink towards her followed by twisting his thumbs upwards.

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

The way she slightly tensed at the mention of his job didn’t go unnoticed by the demon, as well as the messy state of her hands. Mephisto refrained from voicing his thoughts or many any commentary, however. There was no doubt the headmaster will get to that, but he’ll cross the bridge when it came to it.

“I am. To both questions.”

There was a small pause, always fond of dramatics as he was. He allowed his lips to quirk gently upwards on its corners.

“However, I think you have watched way too many movies if the implications beneath your words are anything to go by. There is nothing short of ‘religious’ as far as the textbook definition beneath the latin verses and holy water.”

“Our main priority is to keep demons and supernatural creatures from injuring humans… which is is getting increasingly difficult keeping in mind that we are vastly outnumbered.”

“Hence why I’m here.”

[the-smallest-star]

~* If Hannah wasn’t able to see the very creatures he spoke of then she’d of thought him mad, demons and exorcists and secret groups… it was nothing short of a fictional tale in itself.

But it was very real.

The young teen listened to his explination, piecing together the reasons why he would be here for her of all people. If being able to see them was common then he wouldn’t be here because of that.

“We haven’t hurt anyone.” She muttered; yes he got her in trouble but never had he hurt anyone, Hannah wouldn’t allow it and for some reason if she was firm enough he listened. Worst thing he did was set the shed alight… which she was still grounded for.

“Oh, don’t be mistaken, young lady. Seeing demons is hardly a unique feature as you will see by yourself soon enough.”

He wasn’t exactly being truthful, but neither telling an outright lie. While it was true it was not infrequent, it was hardly an everyday occurrence a case got not only detected so late but so seemingly out of blue… plus the rumors that had graced his ears were more than juicy.

“My name is Johann Faust.”

The demon took his hat off briefly in acknowledgement.

“I am in charge of running Japan’s branch of exorcist, as well as it’s biggest school on the same subject.”

[the-smallest-star]

~* It wasn’t unique? So there were more people who could see them; the news brought a small bit of relief to her at his assurance.  However his claim that he was an exorcist caused her brows to furrow and fingers to curl into her palms as if to hide her band-aid covered fingers.

“Hannah Smalley.” She introduced. Hannah had heard of his name before given the fact his school was one of the choices her Father considered to send his son, he’d decided against it however given its distance.

“So you run the True Cross Academy and some sort of religious exorcist group? You sound like a busy guy to be making home calls.” Hannah said, “Just one more question…”

“Are you here because of me?”

“I am certain you yourself can discern whether or not you are ‘bonkers’ as you so elegantly put it.”

Sarcasm was dipping in thick drops from his words as an eyebrow arched, just amplyfing tenfold the demon’s satirical tone. It almost looked like he was making a concisious effort not to just lean against the wall behind him and fix his nails in boredom.

“In any case, if it’s the little demons and other creatures you usually see what has your little pretty head reeling youcan put your fears to rest already. They are as real as you and I, 100 percent certified.”

[the-smallest-star]

Hannah was prepared for him to ramble on about how she needed to live in the ‘real world’ and stop imagining ridiculous things… but it didn’t come. Instead this oddly dressed stranger actually agreed with her.

He knew she wasn’t lying.

“You’re… definitely not a doctor. You see them too don’t you? Who are you?” Hannah asked from her seat on the bed. Judging from the plasters on her fingers the young teen had done more than just see demons… though what she did was often kept a secret.

“Why can’t anyone else see them?”

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

“Normal is overrated.”

The King of Time and Space gentli titled his head, fingers brushing his own hat in acknowledgement of the other’s presence. His trademark quirk of lips was still present. Mephisto managed to look both elegant and about to pull a prank… a cruel one, if the sardonic glint on his eyes was anything to go by.

“Perhaps you should be a good pet an’ skeel at my feet like you ought to.”

[summermiko]

Well now. That tail puffed up in a manner of irritation, especially when coupled with her ears laying back as much as they could. It’s glad to know he hasn’t changed too horribly much. She thought to herself.

Still. Something about that look was off-putting. 

“When are you going to get past this delusion that I’m not your pet?” The creature shrugged, nose only snarled enough to display the disgust at the thought. “I mean. I understand if you got some kinda kink, good sir, but I ain’t one of those leash-walkin’ types.” 

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

“Yet.”

That lonely syllable was uttered with a noteworthy gentleness, that did little more than to foresee catastrophe.

“As much as I rejoice indulging myself in pleasure this visit is rigorously professional, I assure you.”

Far from inspiring any kind of comfort, the words took a darker tone, twisting themselves into something dangerously bordering the line of boing menacing.

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

@blue–hellion

“Let me consider, not being physically assaulted and talked my ear off every day?”

“I fail to see what is there to miss.”

[blue--hellion]

A cheshire smirk took over his features. As grumpy as the headmaster was being Rin couldn’t help but smile. More than happy to see the other. “Oh come on~ you don’t appreciate my company, my jokes, or the high praise you academy get nows thanks to yours truly?”

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

“While being flattered is something I will never tire of, I hope you are not implying I need you as an intermediary to earn it.”

Mephisto’s green eyes squinted as he glared at him, but it was painfully obvious there was no fire beneath his words as he settled against the other.

OUt of Time-

I’ll be back tomorrow!

Like this for a starter if you wanna rp a little!

@puppetmasterpheles

It had been a couple of months since that familiar old, icy scent drifted to her nostrils. To be completely fair, Summer had traversed close to the academy–considering Yunneth was a student–so THAT MAN’S scent was pretty much calling card all over the grounds. 

But this. This was the real deal.

Brown orbs scanned about for that familiar silhouette. Where could it be?

Catching a intuitive to look up, the Russian would find the Demon King. Hovering within a chair–was that a tea set? The only reason why she caught his scent was due to the wind. 

How many times had he been observing like that?

“Ahoy, Samayel’.” She purposely spoke his name in her native tongue, Russian. “You know you can come down now. Come socialize? Be normal?” 

A brow quirked up, intuitively. 

“Perhaps you should be a good host and offer me a cuppa?” Now the British jargan came.

@schattenmagier

“Long time no see.”

“I take it you have missed me.”

It almost could have sounded sincere. Almost. If he had bit back some of the sarcasm. Or perhaps if that sly, tiptoeing the line of demeaning smirk would have been erased from his face.

[schattenmagier]

  Oh no. Not this guy again. And there she had thought that he       was gone for good. Seems like that she thought wrong…  His words were nice and all, but she heard the sarcasm in his voice. It somehow pissed her off, but yet not enough to actually                               insult the much taller man.

                             “… Vho are you… again?”

   The young mage just slowly asked, knowing exactly who he  was. Well, maybe not eaxctly… He hadn’t even told her his name   in their previous encounters, and never had she given him her     own. The only thing she remembered about him, was that he                             knew that she could use magic…

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

Mephisto knew that the girl was more than well aware of who he was. Well, just as much as he has allowed her to notice, but recognized him nonetheless. While he, being the Second King of Gehena and the unrecognized one of Assiah, wouldn’t lose his time interacting with such lowly peasant he had to admit, albeit reluctantly, that getting a rise out of this one had its certain appeal.

“Not to alarm you, but despite being uncommon in young ladies , alzheimer could be a diagnosis that woukd easily explain your remarkable lack of memory.”

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

Rin used tackle. It was super effective.

There was an startled shriek that he did not make as he was tackled.

“You are going to wrinkle my clothes. They are more expensive than you.”

Yukio finally shifted uncomfortably under the headmaster’s stare, lowering his eyes only a fraction. A battle of wits wasn’t something he could win against Mephisto and even these minuscule reactions he knew the headmaster would pick up on and abuse. Because that was exactly the kind of person the man in front of him was. 

The other’s amusement as well as knowing look managed to set him on edge even more. He didn’t want to believe that Mephisto knew but with how the other was acting, it was hard to convince himself of it. Still, while he knew wat was going on he hadn’t yet allowed himself to admit it; even to himself, let alone to an other. 

“I’m fine sir Pheles, thank you for your concern.” He replied, trying not to tense his muscles as he spoke. He had been right, sitting here trapped in the confines of the chair made him more vulnerable. Shifting and leaning back were two reactions that more easily occured when one was sitting down and Mephisto made an intimidating picture either way. Shit, he was so screwed, wasn’t he?

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

There was a small while, almost a whole minute after the boy spoke that the older demon spent just staring intensely at him, leaving his words hanging on the air, giving an almost ominous feeling to the whole ordeal. The king kept his perfectly practiced poker face, watching as the boy tried to press himself further into the chair, almost as if he wanted to go right through it and disappear… which wouldn’t have been too far from the truth, given the circumstances.

Then suddenly he slowly got up as le let out a loud sigh, looking down for a second just to look back at the Okumura, like letting him now that he was not allowed to get up yet, which was more than clear when he circled his desk and walked towards the chair, resting a covered hand on his shoulder, his pacing coming to an end right behind the chair he was sitting into.

“I am going to admit I am kind of disappointed in your behavior, Yukio.”

“I thought you would be smarter than this.”

[worldly-diversity-archive]

Yukio’s tenseness increased by the moment as Mephisto continued to stare at him for whatever reason. Anyone would have been uncomfortable but right now Yukio was more so. Not only was he not used to the attention but he was stuck fighting against himself even more now to keep himself from reacting. Even through the feeling of ‘wrong’ that was coursing through him, he didn’t want to admit what was going on. Because saying it aloud would make it more real; would make it final.

Seeing Mephisto suddenly act exhasperated and get up he nearly sank deeper into his chair rather than even attept to entertain the thought of rising as well. Seeing the older demon walk towards him gave him the impression of being rather small, as well as being prey. Obviously, he didn’t like the feeling. That didn’t mean he could do anything against it though. 

Feeling the hand on his shoulder so suddenly had him jumping slightly and biting the inside of his cheek. Why did those words cut as much as they did? 

Because this isn’t Mephisto… It’s Samael. And you don’t lie to Samael.

His mind readily provided him with the answer and yet it only brought a shiver from him as he looked away. He wasn’t anywhere near ready to admit what was going on yet. But now not only was he fighting against his conscience, but his instincts as well. Because hierarchy was important and Samael stood far above him and lying like this was frightening in its own right…

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

As his long, almost bordering too thin fingers gently, mockingly brushed against Yukio’s shoulder before promptly settling there Mephisto could almost feel the unease and sheer fear radiating off on waves from the young exorcist’s body. It reminded him of a little rabbit cowering in the presence of the big bad wold... and being realistic the comparison was not too off.

The king allowed the contact, the silence to remain for a few seconds, relishing every agonizing breath the black haired boy was struggling to take as his heart rate increased. As always, epitome of self-indulgence.

Yet, being the gentleman he is, Samael was willing to throw his former student a bone and admit that keeping in mind the situation he was handling the pressure fairly well. There was no wet spot on the chair he was occupying yet, which was more than could be said from some other unpleasant guests.

The boy had some potential that could no doubt be exploited.

“Honestly Yukio.”

It was said with a small shake of head, managing to give the appearance of being both regretful and pitying to an outcomer. It was, of course, ruined for the Okumura since despite the gentle, almost sooting words the grip of his hand tightened, coming to a stop in front of him.

“You seem to have quite a skill to make matters needlessly complicated. As you will probably understand I must refrain any possible danger to arose as long as it is within my hands to do so.”

Danger to his plans, of course.

“Thus, I would greatly appreciate if you didn’t force my hand. So I will ask you again.”

“Don’t you have something you’d like to confess?”

And his choice of words almost made his lips tighten in a salacious smirk. Almost.

[puppetmasterpheles-blog]

For a demon King, the second in line no less, there were some things he did that he had no doubt humans would consider childish, and the amusement he found as the girl turned around and her eyes opened as wide as they could possibly go was one of them. 

What could he say, he was a lover of simple pleasures in life.

“Well there is always a first time for everything.”

The king of Time sounded undeniably amused as he waited for the small human in front of him to utter a coherent sentence. He contemplated for a second whether or not he should stand up but that probably would just scare her further and hence make everything more difficult… a thing that he honestly would rather skip if possible.

“In any case it is not your father I am interested in, as I have said before while you eavesdropped.”

After a pointed look towards her his green eyes lazily moved towards her desk, leaving no room for any doubt on whether or not he could see them. Then he was back focusing on Hannah.

“So it has reached my ears that you can see things, things that no one else can, am I correct?”

[the-smallest-star]

Hannah followed his gaze before a frown set into her face. Of course he’d mention that. That’s what everyone did if they heard about her.

“You another one of those Doctors Olivia keeps asking to talk to me? That I’m mad or nuts or attention grabbing? Go on then, just tell me I’m bonkers already and get a check from my Dad.” Thats what the Doctors before him did.

She knew what she could see was real… but she’d given up trying to explain that to her family. They never believed her.
