first at-bat [video]

[yoghurts]

[ as the video turns on, you're treated to the sight of a confused looking young man. something that must surely be a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for a protracted period of time... though this one seems perhaps a bit more dazed than most. ]

Ah... hello, everyone.

[ despite his confusion, he manages a weak smile. his voice sounds rather calm, all things considered. ]

Let's see... I'm supposed to introduce myself, right? My name is Satoshi Houjou. It's nice to meet you at all.

Um... what else was there? Sorry, this has never happened to me before so I'm not really sure what to say. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Or am I one who's supposed to be asking questions right now? Hm... Can anyone give me some advice? Introductions sure are difficult. I'll do my best to pay you back when I can.

Oh! But we're saving the world, aren't we? Ha... that sounds pretty hard. I've never saved a world before, either. Well, I'll do my best.

...Ruri Gokou. Call me Kuroneko, though.

[yoghurts]

That's fine with me. Kuroneko sounds cuter anyway.

[supurrior]

[There we go again.]

I-it's not cute! It is my true name as the fallen saint of Senyou.

[yoghurts]

Fallen saint of Senyou...?

What does that mean?

[supurrior]

Hoh, even if I did tell you, you wouldn't understand.

[yoghurts]

I probably wouldn't. But I still want to hear it.

[supurrior]

Hmph. Your persistence is frustrating. Is it worth it to tell my story to such a dim-witted human? Why are you so interested?

[Sorry, she's not revealing any of her (fictional) story until you give her a good enough reason.]

[yoghurts]

You said you had magical powers, right? Wouldn't anyone normally be interested in something like that? You don't come across something like that every day.

[ but he can figure she'll be hard nut to crack... hm... what would he do if he was dealing with his little sister? ]

How about this? If you tell me, I'll give you a reward.

[supurrior]

[Hey, she's only allowed to have one pseudo-big brother figure! She scoffs.]

You're assuming any of your rewards would be enough to sway me. How sad for you.

[yoghurts]

[ oh sorry, my bad. it's those natural big brother instincts though... ]

Eh? They wouldn't? [ blink. ] Not even ice cream? Or cake? [ those would totally work on satoko. ]

[supurrior]

A human's gluttonous urges won't work on me.

[She's no Satoko, but...her stomach rumbles nonetheless.]

[yoghurts]

Are you sure?

I think I hear your gluttonous urges right now.

[supurrior]

Don't be fooled. This is only a side effect of my human form.

[yoghurts]

Even if that's true, if you're trapped in a human body, you still have to eat.

[supurrior]

I can obtain food for myself.

[She's going to be a tough nut to crack!]

[yoghurts]

This is going to be tough...

That definitely would have worked on my sister.

[supurrior]

[Kuroneko scoffs. Not another one of them!]

What are you, a siscon?

[yoghurts]

[ blink. ]

Siscon? [ he pauses, before bursting into laughter. ] Of course not, no way. [ o_o ]

[supurrior]

[She starts to break out into a smile, seeing now that she can divert the attention away from her own self!]

Kukuku~ You mean to tell me that you don't get off to your little sister enjoying your treats and lovingly calling you "nii-san, nii-san"?

[yoghurts]

[ wow low blow... ]

I... "get off?" [ blink. ] Of course not! It's not like that at all. [ besides, she doesn't call him nii-san, she calls him "nii nii"! though he wisely recognizes this isn't the right time to point that out. ] I mean, I'm happy when Satoko is happy, but that's... [ not how he would put it. ]

[supurrior]

Really now? Are you just now realizing what you've been hiding...nii-san?

[Okay, now she is having way too much fun with this.]

[yoghurts]

I'm not hiding anything! You're getting it totally wrong.

[ he thinks? actually, he's not even sure what she's accusing him of now. ]

[supurrior]

[Now imagine this playing in the background.]

Denial is the refuge of the weak. But I am familiar with your type. Any girl younger than you is a kind of little sister. You can't keep her off your mind, can you?

[yoghurts]

[ fits the mood perfectly. ]

That's... that's not true at all! I mean, there's Rika, but she's friends with Satoko so I guess it's easy to think of them both like that, but... [ o_o oh no what if she's right... ]

E, even if that's true, is it really that bad?

[supurrior]

[She ignores that last question and goes into state of feigned shock. How interesting indeed.]

There's another one! Are you a lolicon as well? It's impressive how depraved you are, especially with how harmless you look. [chuckles] Asmodeus would be pleased to have you as one of his own.
