[Day 153] I understood the meaning of love... [OPEN]

[hellpyre]

Who: Rin and YOU!
Open: Open
When: 153, afternoon
Where: The Gazebo
What: The past few days have been difficult, but Rin is in a surprisingly good mood today. Apparently that's enough to warrant randomly singing??
Format: Starting in action, but I'll folow
Warnings: Rin being Rin is a given by now.

[The past few days had been a whirlwind of emotion. Some good, some bad, but all of it actually fairly exhausting. In it, though, Rin had gotten out some much needed things that had been bottling up for some time, and in a stark contrast to the anger that had nearly destroyed the kitchen, she found herself in a surprisingly good mood this day.

Like. Really good mood.

Good enough to apparently sing. Which she didn't do very often at all. Sometimes she could be caught humming a song while working, but actually singing something?

Well, she did used to be in the church choir growing up, so it wasn't that far fetched of an idea. But it had been years since then, and her voice was a little out of practice.

Still, something about that good mood compelled her to make her way over to the gazebo where the piano was. She couldn't play (Yuki could, but even she had fallen out of practice with that in recent years, too) but she knew enough to strike a note and start from there. She wasn't singing to anyone in particular, and the song that came out of here surprisingly wasn't a church hymn.]

Kuon no shijima yagate sora ni
aoku aoku tokete nijinde
mahiru no tsuki no usui kage wa
sugu ni sugu ni mirai wo yobu...

[It didn't quite sound the same without some accompaniment, but she still got rather in to it. Enough that she probably wouldn't notice if some one stopped to listen...]

[hellpyre]

Oh uh, my familiar.

[Rin patted her pockets for a second, tugging out a folded, faded and somewhat beat up photo. A bunch of teenagers, one who is obviously Rin herself, together with a large window overlooking an old looking city from very high up. There's a black feline on her shoulder, grinning big with horns on his head.]

That's him. He's a Cat Sídhe, a class of demons that possess cats. If they live long enough their tail splits -- see, you can see the two tails right there. They were protectors of temples for a long time, back when Japan still had a ton of active ones. Now a lot of 'em go in to contracts with human exorcists to be their familiars. He's tiny there but he can grow really huge if he needs to.

[ourlegends]

[ She looks over at the picture, eyes focusing on the cat-looking demon in particular. Oh ... ]

He's really cute ...

[ And he is. He looked like he'd fit right in with most pokemon. ]

If you didn't tell me he was from your world, I would think that he's a Pokemon.

[hellpyre]

Heh. I bet a lotta demons would look like Pokemon to you. Though I can't say Pokemon really look like demons...

[ourlegends]

Probably. If they're small little animal-looking demons like this guy, I'd think they were Pokemon for sure.

What other kinds of demons do you have in your world?

[hellpyre]

Uhm... I can't remember all of them. I kinda wish there were some of my old text books here. Wow never thought I'd say that out loud...

[ourlegends]

Text books can come in handy.

[ Though she was only in school for a few years before starting on her Pokemon journey, so ... ]

[hellpyre]

A thing like yours would be a lot better, though.

[Clearly the Vatican needed a Demonology app for iPads.]

[ourlegends]

I guess I have to agree with that. The Pokedex is small and convenient. We still have to do most of the work with filling it out, though.

[ There's an app for everything nowadays. ]

[hellpyre]

How do you fill it out?

[ourlegends]

We have to capture Pokemon. It only records the full data whenever a Pokemon is captured and recognizes me as its trainer.

[hellpyre]

... huh. I... dunno if that would work with demons...

[ourlegends]

You don't exactly capture demons, do you?

Maybe if it were just a database of ... demons ... and stuff.

[hellpyre]

Maybe. I mean, iPads have apps for like... everythin'. At least that's what Yuki always said. There could be an app for that.

[ourlegends]

Whats an iPad?

[ What is this technology that my world doesn't have? ]

[hellpyre]

Oh uhm. It's like... like a flat computer you can carry. And the screen is used with just your fingers. It's really neat, actually. Yuki didn't like me messin' with hers, though, since the school paid for it an' all that.

[ourlegends]

Sounds neat. The Pokedex is pretty advanced in technology, but that sounds like it might be more so ...

[hellpyre]

Well it can connect to the internet anywhere there's Wifi, or if you've got a mobile connection. Same with any smart phone. 'course I only had a crappy slide phone... but I actually miss bein' able to use it.

[ourlegends]

Ah ... see, we have C-Gear back where I'm from, which might be kind of similar ... it's used for a lot of things. Yours still sounds a bit more advanced technology-wise, though.

[hellpyre]

... doesn't sound like somethin' that would have Google on it.

[ourlegends]

Considering I have no idea what Google is, you'd be right about that.

[hellpyre]

It's a search engine. So you can look for things online.

[ourlegends]

Oh ... that sounds helpful.

[hellpyre]

[How does a world function without the internet?!

Maybe they read manga all the time like Rin.]

It is. Not that I get to use it much. Yuki never let me near her computers.

[ourlegends]

[ It's not that they don't have the internet, it's that their internet has ... differences. But even then, she's always out and about with pokemon, so she doesn't have a lot of time to be on the networky things. ]

I take it you're not very good with technology ...

[hellpyre]

[Good point.]

Not really, no. I know how to use a mobile and like a hand held game system but... that's 'bout it.
