Demon tamer?! We do need to talk. I'm at this restaurant called Fish It & Eat It. Near the east exit of the central park. Tattooed girl in a green yukata + yellow obi.

[breakrecord]

Got it. I'll be there soon.

And seriously, please don't summon her as a surprise or something. That'd be bad for all of us.

[True enough, in about fifteen minutes, there's a familiar guy strolling up to the restaurant. He does what looks like the start of a double take when he spots Shura, but he quickly schools that into a neutral expression and then a smile.]

Hey, it's you! Uh, wow, this is kind of awkward. Sorry for bailing on you before.

Shura shrugs, mouth full of fish, then points at the empty chair in front of her for him to sit down.

"I didn't realize I stank that badly," she says after swallowing.

[breakrecord]

He lets out a sheepish laugh and then sits. His posture is outwardly relaxed, but there's definitely a string of tension running through it.

"I don't think most people do, when it's them stinking, I mean. And, hey, sometimes you just can't get access to a shower for days."

Although he's been lucky enough to avoid that situation, even when the world was about to end. Speaking of, there was a reason he was here, and he wasn't going to leave without some more information.

"Aaaanyway, let's talk about demons. You wanna start, or should I since you're eating?"

[ibideficitorbis]

Shura decides to let the stink subject drop, lest she'd have to admit to have potentially not showered in months in the void, if not years.

"Please start. I could sit here and talk about demons for days and we don't want that. The food would get cold."

[breakrecord]

"Okay! I'll do my best to keep it from getting too long and out of control."

Hibiki leans back and thinks for a moment. A lot has happened to him ever since he first learned about the existence of demons. The very beginning was a good place to start, but where to take it from there? He didn't want to tell her about every little thing that happened, and some things he'd rather not share, but...

"Let's see, I didn't learn about demons until kind of recently. My world was about to end, and thanks to a series of events, my friends and I ended up contracting demons in order to survive. I didn't know they existed before that point, and neither did most of the world. It took us a while to get used to it, but we had to learn how to use them, since they were the only thing that allowed us to live through the end days.

I should mention that I don't have access to demons anymore, though. It's a long and complicated story, but I can tell you about how we summoned them, what we used them for, and anything else you want to know."

[ibideficitorbis]

Shura stopped eating as soon as she heard 'demons' and 'world about to end'. Dammit God, stop being a dick.

"Was it God's work? How did you summon them? How many? What kind? Powerful ones? Friendly ones? Did you kill God? What world do you yearn for?" She interrupted herself, and looked down. "Erm. Sorry. No need to answer that last one. You're obviously human."
