@truthmissed - starter for the roomie ;)
Having reassured himself that he knew where to restock on food when he needed to - and wow, it was going to take him a long time to process how bountiful everything was here - Hallelujah returned to his assigned room for the evening. Still no sign of his assigned “partner”... he wasn’t exactly clear on what the partner assignments were even for, but hey, if it wasn’t gonna kill him, he could live with it.
“You wanna come out, Chiro?” he asked, opening up the Demon Summoning program on his phone so the fox spirit could stretch his legs, as it were.
“{Yeah!}“ Chironnupu chittered excitedly in the demonic language, and promptly began zipping all around the apartment. “{This place sure is wild, huh, Halle? Humans and sunlight and so much space to explore!}”
Hallelujah couldn’t help but grin as his friend (literally) bounced off the walls, before turning his attention to his ‘welcome package.’ Holy water he could understand, and tissues were always useful, but upon opening the foil packaging, he could only stare in befuddlement at the cards inside.
Were these... playing cards? He’d seen some of the guys in the Ashura-kai with cards before, but they hadn’t looked like this. Were the creatures in the images demons? If so, Hallelujah hadn’t seen or heard of any of them before, and he hadn’t thought his Compendium was that neglected. Maybe they had different demons in Koi than in Tokyo...?
“{Heeeey, I recognize those!}” Chiro belly-flopped onto Hallelujah’s shoulder. He’d found a pair of pants and tied the legs around his neck to wear it like a cape. He’d somehow managed to bedeck his ears with earrings, and he’d found some finger rings and wrist bands to wear, too. Hallelujah realized with some chagrin that the demon had been digging through what was probably his roommate’s stuff.
“{Pokemon cards! I haven’t seen anyone playing with those in yeeeears! Want me to teach you to play, Halle? Or we can invent a new game with -- }” Chiro cut himself off and glanced towards the door, seconds before it opened.
With a gleeful bark, the ever-gregarious demon flung himself towards the new arrival - Hallelujah’s roommate, he assumed - and switched to Japanese, even though Chiro’s grasp of human languages was... limited, to say the least.
“HELLO, HUMAN! ME BEAST CHIRONNUPU! YOU WANT PLAY?”
“Chiro, c’mon!” Hallelujah protested, automatically getting to his feet. He didn’t want Chiro to scare the guy, but even more than that, he didn’t want the guy to hurt Chiro, and some people could have... really bad reactions to demons, even small and relatively non-threatening ones like Chironnupu.
