WHO: You!
WHERE: Around the city!
TIME: All Through Day 1
DESCRIPTION: CITY TOUR MINGLE!

Maybe you stayed in Coba, maybe you went home and came back, or maybe this is your first time here, but everyone is suddenly greeted to a friendly, female voice over an intercom (or maybe it's a some other device? Depending on where you're from)

"Welcome citizens. We hope you're enjoying your visit! Transport will leave in twenty minutes for the Coba city-wide tour!"

If you follow the voice, you'll find yourself at a bus stop. Or is it a fancy monorail? A carriage? A couple of horses? Coba is flexible and will change herself to suit you, after all. And if you get left behind, don't worry! There's free cabs anywhere in the city, who also will be more than happy to give you their own version of the tour.

The Coba city-wide tour boasts an hour of informative information regarding Coba's most important locations, some extra brochures (with some extra savings in there, of course), and will finally return you to the place you left from.

Of course, maybe the tour isn't for you. After all, the party is still going on, and now Coba's businesses are really beginning to open and advertise what they have to offer. Have you checked out the free hotel room? Or maybe you're grabbing a free meal? Or maybe, just maybe - you're looking into an apartment!

Either way, Coba hopes you've been enjoying yourselves. She has so much to offer you.

(welcome to the first official post! Mingle to your hearts' content, and don't be afraid to make your own posts, either!)

...oops? Still, it could've been worse. He could've jumped right to 'Fuck Or Die Island.' (He didn't want to go there right out of the gate, though.)

"Not the kind we got back home, that's for damn sure."

"You can't even get any energy out of that. It's completely pointless, pure torture for the sake of torture."

Shock has given way to being mad as hell, as the saying goes.

"Well, she sure seemed to manage just fine with it." Somehow. And the less said about April, the better.

"How d'you figure that, though?"

"I'm an incubus." This seems to be a very blunt kind of conversation. "If anyone knows anything about getting nourishment from sex, it ought to be me. And incubi and succubi only get nourishment from positive sexual energy - negative experiences do absolutely nothing for us."

~~but he looks nothing like Incubus the Persona~~

"...Yeah, okay, I'll give ya that one. I mean, you'd think a sex goddess would know what's what too, but it's also possible Atia's just a sadistic bitch." Does he feel bad about saying that, especially now that he's not there? Not even a little.

~~He has better hair, for once thing.~~

"Most likely. And you were trapped in a place run by someone like that? That's terrible, I'm sorry."

~~And presumably not a stripey dick of impressive length, but Kanji won't be asking.~~

Kanji shrugs. "Wasn't all bad. Nobody expected me to go to school, and most'a my friends were there. The whole 'fuck or die' part got old after a while, though."

~~Well don't write off the 'impressive length' part just yet. Stripes are out, though.~~

"Still... I don't like the idea of that place existing at all, much less no one having done anything about it."

~~Still not asking. He's got his hands full with his friends.~~

"We were tryin' to get something together, but it was hard to make any decent kinda headway. And that was with the last goddess we took on on our side this time. Apparently most times anyone tried they got choked to death immediately for their trouble."

~~Completely understandable. You all have fun.~~

"I'm sorry to hear that. In that case, I sincerely hope that you can stay here for some time."

"Takin' the fact that the damn collar's gone as a good start." Not that he knows what'll happen if he tries to go home, but... that much is promising, anyway.

"Name's Kanji, by the way."

"Orias. Despite the odd circumstances, it's a pleasure to meet you." He takes another sip of tea, this time hoping not to choke on it from sudden unpleasant revelations.

"You too."

Don't worry, he really only had the one super unpleasant thing.

One unpleasant thing is enough.

"So, I've been asking around a fair amount, but what sort of place do you usually see here? I've gathered that everyone sees different things at different times."

"Shopping district from back home. Without the asshole who calls me a punk all the time, which is good, or my ma, which... 's weird not seein' her in the shop, you know?"

It's good to have some familiar scenery. But... profoundly weird not to have his mother around.

"I see..." He can't say he completely understands - demons don't usually have family units. But he knows what it's like to have familiar faces in one place, and not seeing them there would be strange. "So, it's something of a mixed blessing."

"Pretty much. Ma ain't supposed to be gone yet."

It's bad enough that his dad is.

"I'm sorry. If I were better at making portals to places I hadn't gone myself, I would offer, but as it is I'm not sure it would be entirely safe."

And he's definitely not offering something that he doesn't know is 100% safe.

Kanji shrugs. "Sooner or later I'll give actually goin' home a shot."

Whenever he can make himself brave the three-week gap between when Atia scooped him up and when she nabbed Naoto.

"As will I. I didn't think anything was strange with my summoning at first, but even if I plan to investigate more, I'd rather have the comfort of knowing that I can go home."

It would make him feel much safer.

His... summon... oh yeah. Probably an incubus thing, in which case Kanji doesn't wanna ask.

"Exactly. I mean, I wouldn't really be able t'see most'f my friends without comin' back, it's kinda complicated. But if I can go home, that'll still be good."

He'd never admit it in so many words, but he misses his ma.

Probably a good decision.

"Then I sincerely hope you can come and go freely. Having to choose between one or the other would be unpleasant."
