video | un: demonchef

[So Rin looks a bit... different. Something has obviously happened to him, recently at that. He also looks incredibly tired and the background of his video shows that he's sitting up in a bed, teeshirt rumpled and that new hair a bigger mess than usual.]

Hey... everyone. Uhm. I know uh. I know Kohaku and some others were lookin' for me a few days ago. I went home for a bit.

[He really, really doesn't want to talk about it, but he figures he owes at least some bare bones explanation.]

'm back. Obviously. Not feelin' great, though. Niisan's Teppanyaki is still gonna be open but it'll be shorter hours for a bit.

[There's a long pause, gaze shifting off to the side at something.

Or maybe it's nothing.]

You can ask. I know people are gonna want to. But don't expect a big long wordy response.

Uhm. No. I... died.

... Dying is still stressful.

I mean, yeah, duh. That's not what made my hair white, though.

Oh. I see, then what did? If you know that is.

Uh, I'm not... completely sure but I do know that I had white hair when I was a baby?

Oh...

Strange that it changed back now.

I mean... me dyin' was... kinda burnin' up from my own power turnin' back on me, so I guess it was like comin' back new or somethin'?

I'unno, I'm really not the guy to ask about this stuff, but the one who is, is pretty cryptic about most things anyway.

So like a rebirth or something akin to that, it's possible.

And I've had my fill of cryptic answers for things back home, I don't think I'll be pursuing such things here.

Yeah, that!

[That was the word he was looking for.]

Probably a good idea. He's not exactly a fun guy to talk to.

[She chuckles, glad she helped him figure out the word then.]

Then I guess I'll have to avoid him then if he's no fun.

[Thanks for that.]

Just be careful if you're an anime fan. He's a weirdass otaku and I'm pretty sure he's got some radar about that kinda shit.

[She's getting a weird mental image of this fellow from what Rin is telling her.]

I'm not, but I'll still be careful. Just in case.

Good. I don't mind bein' the only one who puts up with him.

[They're actually kind of getting along right now? But he still wouldn't inflict Mephisto on anyone willingly.]

You're doing the world a service then.

[She says that with a giggle, since she means it in a joking way.]

Totally!

[He knows she's joking, and he is, too, but it feels good to actually laugh a little after the shit he went through back home.]

So, how you been settlin' in? Everythin' goin' okay?

Things have been fine, considering the situation we're all in. I think I figured out why my abilities don't work, so there is also that.

Oh? What's up with them then?

I need to be... Connected to a certain being, and since it seems it doesn't exist in this world that's why I'm unable to use my skills.

[A pause.]

At least that's the conclusion I've come to.

Oh. Huh. Y-yeah I guess that makes sense. I know the Prismals told me early on that the crystals can kinda make-up for that in most cases but not all? I think the headmaster from my school that was here for a while had a similar problem because he couldn't totally get access to Gehenna.

Gehenna? Do you mean the valley? Or the place for the wicked?

[She'll keep the crystals information tucked away for now, if she can find something similar to her own powers as a replacement that would be awesome.]

Uh, second one. It's a mirror world to Assiah-er, Earth. Demons aren't supposed't get through but they do usin' possession of objects and people.

... Huh. Your world sounds kind of dangerous.

[Understatement of the year, Asakura.]

It is. I didn't even know how bad it was until I found out what I was. Even so... not all demons are bad. Some just really don't wanna be in a shithole like Gehenna.

Still, possessing someone is not a good thing to do. Or an object, I can't imagine having to be stuck in something that can't move just because it's in a better world.

Possessed objects can move, though. It's freaky.
