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!)

Models...? That makes it sound like you're talking about bodies like cars. Can you switch which body you're in?

No, no. Don't humans have models? On magazines?

[He means the pretty people kind.]

[He was trying to get an answer as to what Orias was, but since that's only led to him implying he wasn't human (which was obvious from the start), Hibiki decides it's best to just be direct.]

Oh, yeah, we do. I wasn't thinking of those. What are you if you're not human?

[Direct is usually the best method anyway.]

I'm an incubus. Nice to meet you.

[He knows what an incubus is, but he hadn't run across one during any of his trials ~~because they had to maintain that T rating somehow~~, so Orias is now the current standard for all incubi. He's also going to assume that...Orias is an SMT style demon, because he hasn't had any other exposure.]

I'm a Hibiki. Nice to meet you, too. Huh, I didn't know demons had magazines. [The world of demons was so much stranger than just the auctions...]

[~~Incubi and succubi were in Devil Children, I'm pretty sure they could've made it to Devil Survivor.~~]

They've picked up quite a few things from humans over the years. I know a few demons who are attempting to learn how to make pizza themselves.

[He's now trying to imagine some of the very not humanoid demons trying to make pizza.

Forgive him as he attempts to (badly) restrain his laughter]

I-Is that [Snerk] so? Is that why you guys need so much Macca? To buy pizza ingredients— [Nope. Just laughing. It's not even worth trying to maintain a pokerface for this. If Orias hasn't threatened him or straight out tried to kill him yet, then it's probably safe to do so.]

[He wouldn't do that! Right now he's just looking mildly puzzled.]

What is 'macca'? Some form of currency humans use?

[He reigns in his laughter to answer.] No, it's the stuff that you guys want in the auctions. That...demonic...currency?

[Oh, geeze, what if the multiple worlds/planes thing applies to demons, too?]

Hey, random tangent, but what are the other demons you know like?

[You better believe it does.]

Let's see... I only keep close company with two other incubi and a succubus, my 'family' if you would prefer to think of it that way, but I've encountered various varieties of demons, none of which are as bad as the reputation as they seem to have gained in the human world. At worst they're as mean-spirited as a particularly nasty human.

Do you run into demons much?

[He ponders over what he's been told for a brief moment.]

For a while, yeah. Some of them lived up to the reputation humans gave them. Some of them didn't. All the ones I encountered knew of Macca, though. That's the currency they took when they, uh, auctioned themselves off for demon tamers.

I don't know about that system. [It sounds somewhat sketchy.] Normally where I'm from, either demons approach humans, or humans summon them with drawn symbols and such.

[It's super sketchy, but it was also handy ~~for getting fusion fodder~~]

We summoned demons through a phone app. That was apparently a new thing, though, and there was a time when we had to summon a few demons by unsealing them and appealing to them. There was a whole system in place before.

[He doesn't know if there's a system in place anymore, and that's a worrying thought.]
