[ Click. An audio broadcast was being made in full session. However, there was no sound being heard as the audio cast is being made. For those who have almost perfect hearing will notice a faint sound being heard in the background. What was it? It would seem to be the sound of a low murmur reading while another familiar noise is being made. A more whisking sound? But don’t worry, Asgard, a voice will suddenly be heard after the first few seconds of audio. ]

Ririchiyo-sama? [ A female voice will be heard saying a very familiar name in a familiar way. Well, for those who know Ririchiyo and all. ] What are you working on?

[ Unfortunately for the other, no response will be given - or, at the very least, an instantaneous one. It would seem as though Ririchiyo was currently engrossed in reading the book that was laid out in front of her. “How to make pancakes” the header says, instructions being given in detail on how to go about creating such a thing. As she reads further on, she mutters the instructions to herself as she measures everything with precise precision, making no room for failure. ]

“Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets a airing” … [ More instructions seem to be muttered when finally -- ] “2 tablespoons of the batter mixture” …

[ It would seem as though the first female was being entirely ignored by her master. And by the sound of silence, she did not mind being ignored. If only everyone was able to notice the sparkles and look of happiness on her face. She was finding the other female the most adorable. Without a moment to lose, the other female will get all the more closer to the younger one as she places a hand on either side of her arms from behind. ]

Ahh. It would seem as though you are working on making breakfast for us. If you don’t mind, I’ll stay here a little while longer before feeding our adorable kits. Please, continue the hard work. I’m sure they will be good...

[ She will offer a kiss on her partner’s cheek as her chest brushed against her back without a second thought. ]

… Huh? [ Engrossed as she had been prior to this moment, it would seem as though she had been thrown back into reality as the feeling of something against her back became more noticeable. It was hard at first to remember if she offered that Roromiya stayed the night, for the only female she knew who was this affectionate was no one else but her. But that couldn’t right, could it? Knitting her eyebrows together in thought, she slowly tries to do the maths. The only people who lived here were herself and Miketsu...kami... ]

Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Miketsukami-- [ Wait. ] -san?

Yes? [ The other female will remain in place, but the sound of confusion will not be lost. ]

It’s not “yes”. [ Blunt as ever, that would be good ole’ Ririchiyo. ] Why are you suddenly a girl!?

[ There will be some silence as the other female let’s go of Ririchiyo and begins to smile, very amused by her blunt question ]

What are you now saying, Ririchiyo-sama? I have always been like this -- female, just like you. [ Placing a hand over the younger girl’s cheek, she will give her a simple smile as she gets closer ] Although, I do admit... something odd is happening. All of my clothes are currently missing, and I wanted to know if you knew where it was. [ With a teasing voice, and getting even closer to her. ] Did you happen to hide them again? Just like the last time, I know you asked the kits to hide my clothes, so you can keep me here a little longer~ [ Whispering in her ears. ] You know I am always ready to show you everything, so there is no need to play those sort of tricks.

Spare me that shameless image. [ Remaining as blunt as earlier, she dismisses the other girl’s advances quite speedily. ] I have no reason to hide your clothes from you for, unlike you, I’m not that perverse.

[ Giggles. Why are you so cute? ] That is not what I heard the other night. You were definitely being as perverse as I was~ [ Turning away from the other, she will simply smile and sway back and forth on her feet. ] What a shame. It would only seem as though Ririchiyo-sama only acts like my vixen at night than at day. It isn’t as though someone is listening to us. It is only us girls. Why do you feel so shy?

S-Saying such a thing so early in the day... Th-That type of thing is... U-Ugh! Learn to filter your thoughts a little, will you!? [ Embarrassed, she moves away from the kitchen in a little off a huff as she tries her hardest to ignore the other girl’s presence. ] There’s only one girl here, and that girl isn’t you. H-Hmph! This must be a curse of some kind. That’s right - that’s the only logical explanation to this.

[ The other girls reactions will simply get a mischievous smile out of her. Following after her master, she was getting close in wanting to apologize for teasing her when she was clearly not in the mood for them, but the final part of her master’s speech will stop her in her tracks. Confusion and concern clearly taking over her more mischievous mood. ] Ririchiyo-sama....? [ The concern in her expression was more apparent as she holds her arms back to her side. ] Are you certain you are feeling well? There has always been two girls living in this household. You have never once lived alone here...

[ Hearing the question on whether she was feeling well was enough of a means for her to stare at the other with a deadpan expression, almost as if to question the other’s sanity. ] That’s my line. Asking me such a ridiculous question... shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?

….I am terribly sorry for offending you. [ Her gaze will lower as she bows before her master. It was clear that she was uncertain in the proper way to handle her master. However, as she was about to rise, she will notice a small light blinking onto her master’s arm. She will begin to blink a couple of times before standing up straight. ] Umm...Ririchiyo-sama, I believe your bracelet is... [ How to say it without scaring her? ] It is glowing...

W-What? [ Glowing...? Slowly, her gaze goes down to her bracelet on her wrist that was, as Miketsukami said, glowing. Which meant... ] Everything we’ve been saying up until now... everyone...

Overheard us? [ All said in a very amused tone of voice. ]

[ And now would be the part where a loud and piercing scream makes itself heard. If this was any indication, it would seem as though Ririchiyo wasn’t quite as amused as Miketsukami. ] AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! I WANT TO DIE—!!

[ As per usual, Ririchiyo is purple whereas Soushi is silver. In short, Soushi has been placed under a curse where he believes that he is, and always has been, female. Replies will be coming from

onlyacurse from Soushi's end. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The other's description of their accidental broadcast to the network will get an amused giggle out of her. Were they really such terrible actors? Oops.]

It would seem so, if you believe it as such. I will neither fight nor deny your opinion. My only hope is my choice of words did not make you feel uncomfortable. If I have known beforehand about the bracelet recording, then I would have choosen better words to use in their place.

[It would seem she felt a tiny bit guilty now.]

I apologize for the broadcast

Nope, not uncomfortable. You've got to try a lot harder to do that. Whatever the two of you do behind closed door's your business. Just making an observation. I'm betting the folks that actually know you two are probably a little more weirded out.

[There will be a giggle escapring her lips because the other person has hit right on the mark. But, her giggles are mostly due to finding the other interesting. She was the only one not making a fuss over her wording.]

It's wonderful to know I was unable to reach your level of discomfort. My words are set to my master's comfort level, but it would seem a few were either disturbed or excited by such words. [Now she does not sound as amused, but what can she do.] Nevertheless, I wish to be given the chance to both apologize for the rude behavior while show my gratitude for remaining understanding over the uncomfortable situation. You are most kind.

[Actually, whether Souko realized it or not, discomfort started to play into it. The whole talk of 'master' was a little bit of an issue for her. At the same time, if they talked like that, they were willing, so it was very much a 'whatever floats your boat.'

...

Wait, it almost sounds liked ...]

That almost makes it sound like you meant that only to be heard by them, and you're a little put off other folks might be getting hot and bothered by a private talk.

Oh, dear me. Did I insuinate such a thought?

[She might be using a concerned voice, but it is difficult to tell is Samantha is correct on her theory. Souko is an interesting breed, to say the least. It was sometimes difficult to tell if she was being genuine or just playful. But, there is one thing we all know: she is a bit put off by men having heard. No. Men always taint everything.]

No. The thought of my intimate conversations with my master having been broadcasted to everyone was never my intention. I respect her privacy and wishes, so the mere thought of unknown strangers enjoying the talk...I do admit it is rather nervewrecking. Hopefully, no one decides to harrass my master in any way as she works. If I remember correctly, we are not the only ones whom use these forums daily, right?

Eh. I doubt anyone's going to do too much about this, so don't worry. There's plenty of other things for them to worry about. I'd bet people make stupid mistakes all the time.

Hopefully. Regardless the many times I have all ready apologized to my master, my guilt over the situation remains along with my concern for her well-being. I do hope you are right to believe so.

[And she really does mean those words.]

Thank you very much for being very understanding. It is rare to find someone as thoughtful as yourself.

Thoughtful? Me? Nah. I'm just... weird. I don't look at things the way other people do. Personally, though, you're different too... just in another way [One that was really kind of creeping her out a little. She wasn't used to the whole 'devoted to someone' thing.]. I have a feeling your master probably knows, at least a little.

As for the rest? Try not to worry so much. You'll get by easier.

Thank you very much.

[Then at her comment over being weird and different, she will simply shake her head even if the other person could not see her do so.]

Weird? No. I do not believe you have presented yourself in such a matter. On the contrary, you are quite kind. [Althought, it did sound as though being "weird" was a bad thing. Hmm.] But even so, to have the ability to view the world differently than the way others do is rather unique. Isn't it a perfectly respectable trait to have? At the very least, I find it an enviable trait to possess.

[She chuckled when she'd finished listening to her. The fact that Souko didn't sound like she completely believed she was that odd just amused Samantha, though perhaps she understood and was just speaking generally.]

Trust me. You've got a unique way of looking at things. Personally, it's got its perks, but my reasons for being this way don't really make it all that pleasant for me some days.

Today? Today's fine.

[The way Samantha is beginning to speak is as thought she did not have a stable personality. Souko will begin to guess on the true meaning behind her words, but decided against it a few moments later. After all, she did not have enought clues to pin point anything. Besides, Souko knew her place with everyone -- she had no right to make any assumptions unless given permission to.]

Then it brings me great joy to hear you are doing well. I do hope you continue to feel as you do because I would be most honored to continue having the priveledge to speak to you further, if you permit it.

[Don't be too surprised if her name and gender change if they do get the chance to meet again.]

[She wasn't entirely stable, no, and Souko's personality confused her a bit. She thought about the offer for a bit and frowned. The conversation had been... a little hard for her to understand.

Then again, she had to get used to this sort of thing. It was worth it to try. It would probably help if the conversation didn't start this awkwardly anyway.]

Sure. What the hell. Give me a call sometime and we grab something to eat at a diner.

[Her personality can be full of contradictions at times, but she is trying to be more honest with herself and those surrounding her. It is just difficult to go on about it especially with those she does not know nor trust. Trust is an important factor for her. Somehow in this awkward conversation, Samantha has won enought points for the other to feel enought interest to offer her a bond of sorts. Plus, it might be a good idea to purify her master's name. Who knows if Souko isn't reverting to her usual way of dealing with the situation by constantly changing the topic.

The other's offer will help her relax, somewhat.]

Understood. Thank you very much for your generous offer. [Oh, wait. She has no idea who she is, does she?] My name is Souko Miketsukami. May I be given the honor to know your name before we make any arrangements?

[Heh, they both had their rather confusing hangups in conversation. Samantha just wasn't that good talking to people she didn't know well.]

Samantha Grey. When we get together, you're looking for the red-headed half-demon with the horns and blood red eyes.

.........................

[Congrats, Samantha. You will have an eerily silent Souko at the other end. Did she say what she thought she just said?

The feed has been instantly changed into a more private one as Souko tries to hold her emotions at bay. O-Okay. Another half-demon she did not know, time to investigate a little further.]

Grey-san, you described yourself as a half-demon, correct? [Now for the moment of truth: is the other girl another demon from a similiar or different world?] Are you known by a different title other than demon? Like the word "Atavist" by any chance?

[And her feed switches to Video. It's simpler to just show these things. She's sitting back, looking a little uncomfortable, but there it is. A pair of horns right along the hairline on her forehead, about an inch long and black. There's a spaded tail swishing in the background and the eyes are blood red.

She shakes her head.]

Not the term they use. "Cambion" is the technical term. It's an old medieval European word for someone who's born the child of an Incubus or Succubus, if you know those words.

I vaguely remember the word. It's related to 'ancestry,' 'tradition' or what came before and is recurring. Folklore and such. Never heard it used to describe demons where I come from.

Why do you ask? [Definite suspicion, both in facial expression and in the tone of that last sentence.]

[The video feed will have her attention as she currently observes the other girl with curiosity because it was her first time meeting another half-demon like her and her master. It would seem as though she was able to keep a few of her characteristics which include a tail. Hm. By the look of her, she seems to be a close descendant to an oni like Kagerou and Ririchiyo do, only different. Her horns are much smaller compare to the two other half-oni's. Without any issue, she will turn on her own feed as way to help make the situation less comfortable for her.]

Yes, I recognize those strands of demons. [More like they have found her and tried to kill her a couple of times in her homeworld.] Along with the terms you have used...

European demons...huh? [She will begin to ponder upon the realization of other demons being known in different parts of the world. The Atavists are a small community of Japanese youkai -- demon -- origins, who do not usually speak to those of their own kind, it really depends on the relationship between those of different human clans. How Ririchiyo and Kagerou's family relationships are as close as arranging their suppose marriage in the future by their families.

At the other's inquiry on the subject, Souko will begin to ponder over the thought of revealing herself to the other, but she did not believe it would be a terrible idea. This girl does not give off the same awful sense as the other demon-eating demon has. It should be fine to be somewhat honest, right?]

This is the first time I have been able to encounter another half-demon in this world. I never thought I would have the fortune to do so until you did so in such a casual manner. [But...] However, it would seem as though you do not seem to hold a choice on the matter... [A concerned expression.] Are you able to hide your demon characteristics or...not?

No point not being at least a little casual about it. Longest I've been in one place for over a year. Got hard shoving my tail into my pants every day and keeping my horns under a hat, especially after one of my messages ended up being accidentally really public.

[Even though she's being sociable, her eyes are more narrowed in suspicion at the revelation that they were or knew another half demon.]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I wouldn't say this is good fortune. I've got a bad record with demonic things. We're not exactly known for being safe or trustworthy.

I see. It would definitely explain it... [Souko could not help feel somewhat relieved her demon blood was currently dormant, so she was unable to transform into her true form. Yet, she was able to keep certain traits like having better nightvision than most humans, she was still somewhat faster and stronger, and is still unable to feel physical pain.] Althought, I am somewhat surprise this world is allowing you to keep your more demonic traits. Upon arrival, I was stripped away most of my abilities and transformations. The little bits I was able to keep for myself are the little bits of skills an Atavist inherited from their ancestors, but in a more downsize matter.

[At her explanation over having a difficult time with demons, she entirely understood her words and nodded her head.]

Yes, it is the same in my homeworld. Atavists, we are neither entirely human or youkai, so we attract the wrong attention from both species. Humans use us as charms of fortune because every family clan with an Atavist mysteriously become prosperous. While for full demons, many of them enjoy to hunt us for our blood, we give off an interesting scent for them. A scent that will motivate them to either cling to us, trap us as pets, or slaughter us into many pieces.

[She will trail off for a moment as pondering on explaining the reason for Maison de Ayakashi now.]

That is the reason behind my job as an SS agent, better known as a Secret Service Agent, it is my duty to protect other Atavists whom are not as powerful as to battle against the many dangers surrounding them. We have a facility which protects those in our position against both humans and full-blooded demons alike from attacking. I am uncertain of the type of person you are, but I will not attack you unless given a reason to do so.

[Then she begins to ponder further about her current words and much earlier words on the subject, but she won't voice her thoughts over it. Not yet, anyway.]

Traits? You mean the tail, claws and the horns? They don't do that much. They're not powers so much as deformities. A succubus, a real one, could keep that sort of thing hidden away. The fact that they're actually body parts for me's a sign I'm just half-blood where I come from. There's not really that much to them, other than window dressing. I think people sort of over-estimate what they can do.

[It was true. She was basically the equivalent of a catgirl, but with a little different look. Her claws could leave a nasty cut, but not much deeper than a cat's claw could.]

My real powers, the ones I got from my bastard of a Dad? Those don't work here at all, and thank god for it. I'm actually a lot more human than I ever remember being back home.

[She considered the other part. Ok, 'Secret Service' was something she understood, but mostly as something vaguely mentioned about protecting US political figures.]

So, the other girl's like you, and someone you protect. Are you actually hooked up with the US Secret Service in your world or is it just the same sort of name? Either way, you don't have to worry about attacking. As long as I'm not crazy at the moment, I really prefer to just live and let live. No point fighting someone who doesn't want to fight.

Yes, that is correct. [As she listens to the other's explanation over her own form and a reason behind keeping her more demonic traits, she will continue to ponder as she hopes to keep the information in mind.] Are there other half-demons like yourself, Grey-san? Also. Do all half-demons have the difficulty in hiding their traits? I am uncertain if it helps in any way, but young Atavists have difficulty hiding their true form due to their inexperience in keeping their minds focus of their human forms. Do you believe...there might be a way for you to learn to hide your traits and seem more human if someone who is able to fully control their transformations offered you lessons? [It was more a curious question than an offer to help. Souko wished to fully learn more about her and her world because they sounded eerily similiar, but held their uniqueness.]

I am happy to hear it. From the way you are currently expressing yourself, it sounds as though you are happy with this change. Right?

[Then at her own questions, her expression will turn to a more formal smile as she was currently withholding her emotions. The idea of having revealed Ririchiyo along with her did not sit well with her, but she will not show such an expression at all. At the moment, they were having an enlightening conversation.]

Yes, she is someone I serve under. And no, we are in no way associated with any type of government. From my current understanding on the matter, the SS and Maison de Ayakashi, the facility I spoke of, were created for the purpose for Atavists to live in peace with one another while co-existing with the human society. The SS, as I explained beforehand, were created with the purpose to serve as a potential job a fellow Atavist can pursue while keeping certain they do not lose themselves to their more demonic traits as they have in their previous life. Atavist who become ferocious and begin to attack both humans and other Atavists alike must be terminated, but will be placed under a watch list to be certain they will be better raised to be more pacific and use their abilities for good.

[And at the other's words on the subject, she will continue to smile in her formal and professional matter.]

It is wonderful to hear. I will be certain to keep an eye on you nevertheless and follow your example as well. [In other words, she will simply keep an eye on her, so they never end up crossing paths. She did not have any intentions in getting into any fights especially when the other party seems to take precautions in not wishing to harm others.]

Hmmm, bit of a mouthful. Let's go down the line one at a time. As far as I know, there's very few cambions running around. My mom snuck off to the middle of nowhere to have me, but they tended to get killed at birth in my world. No luck on hiding traits. The horns are literally like little black antlers, coming right out of my head and I don't have any magic to reshape my body. Tail's the same way too. If I had a choice, I'd like to be a regular human, but that's just not really an option.

[She nodded at the explanation about their world. It was a lot more structured than hers was as far as that went.]

The last time they tried to set something like that up for people with powers, not just demons, that went over like a lead balloon. Huge fight over it, mostly because the guy that set it up was actually lying, corrupt bastard, but that's beside the point. It doesn't work too well where I come from. Glad it's better for you guys.

As for when to watch, keep an eye out around the new moon. That's my suggestion there.

I see. It is a pity. [Her story was beginning to sound a lot harsher than the life of an Atavist. Ignoring the whole bullying by family relatives, being under total house arrest, and being treated more like an item than a living being -- at least they had a home to live in, where they were protected from full demon attacks for many years. Then again, her life was harsher than the life of most Atavist, in a way.] Even so, I do not believe it will be entirely necessary. At the end of the day, it would seem most people from within this world are aware of your demon linage... [Then she begins to ponder over a thought, but decided to save it. As the other girl has expressed -- go down the line one at a time.]

Yes. We have a very powerful and influencial youkai, who thankfully, do not hold any greed or dark intentions over creating the system to help keep the relationship between two different species from turning hostile. It was all done by the goodness of her heart. [Even though, Souko finds her meddlesome, she knows the kind elderly woman did not mean any harm. The elderly woman only repeated the story heard within Souko's own heart. A story she did not read fully because if she did, then she would have been more discreet over her past in her master's precense.]

Understood. I will do so. [A bow.] Thank you very much for the helpful hint you provided for me. You truly are most kind.

They are. I was unable to hide it after an incident early on in my stay where I briefly was lost to the gray. Further concealment was made meaningless shortly afterwards. Helping to keep people aware of these things makes it simpler in the long run anymore. So, don't sweat it.

I'm just glad at least you guys seem to have a better setup.

Unfortunately, I cannot feel at ease in allowing others to know about our true identities at the moment. [All said in a pondering tone, she cannot help begin to wonder.] For my master and the others to be given the chance to be treated as normal human beings is a great pleasing for them. I would much rather they never speak nor reveal themselves of their true nature to others. You never know when there will be a hunter hiding within the group of Travellors. [She didn't trust humans. Simple as that.]

Yes. Thank you very much. We are truly blessed to have a peaceful living and enviroment.

[Then she begins to wonder at her idea further, an idea she has been pondering to herself about.]

Grey-san, by any chance, are there other half-demons or full-demons roaming within this world just like you? If it is not too much to ask, I would like to know...
