Day 2 | Sunset | @everyone

[thebomb]

Good evening, everyone.

My name is Armin Arlert. Hello again, if we've already met. If not, I'm glad to meet you now.

I'll try to keep this as brief as I can.

Nao and I are working together to compile a secondary demon compendium based on our individual experiences. We'll need everyone's help to get a good idea of what we're working with. It seems that much of the information given to us by our COMPs is, indeed, accurate, but it's wise to rely on what we can observe ourselvess before anything else.

That being said, please respond to this message with the following information:

1. The type of demon you're describing
2. Have you contracted with it? If so, what were its terms?
3. Any observed skills
4. Other relevant anecdotes and observations

I'll work on compiling all of the information given into an ongoing report, which I'll post at the bulletin board Dimitri's set up at the church.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Armin

That's okay. Maybe if you find something familiar in that playlist you can let me know. That'd give me an idea.
Singing takes practice. You can do it late at night in a soundproof room by yourself.

[thebomb]

[He wants Armin to learn how to sing? What a funny person...]

I never really had time for hobbies and things like that where I came from. I'm not sure that singing would be the first on my list. Too bad there aren't any soundproof rooms around here that I can think of.

Do you like singing, Minato? You're a fan of music, clearly.

[compendiem]

Oh. That sounds rough. We probably have lots of other things that take priority here too... But taking time for yourself is still important, I think. And spending time with others.

[ Then again, Minato is dead, not quite so anxious to return home as most people here would be. ]

Listening more than singing. But I do like music.

[thebomb]

[Armin doesn't have much to return to either. Hell. He might even be better off in a place like this. At least it's still standing.]

I am grateful to have had others to talk to when we're able to rest. You have somewhere safe that you're staying, don't you? With others, I assume?

[compendiem]

The church and the greenhouse are supposed to be safe. I spent the night in the church with two of my teammates, and several others. Why did you decide against staying there too? There's plenty of space.

[thebomb]

I wouldn't say I necessarily decided against it. My first night here, before I knew about the church or the greenhouse, myself and two others found a safe home to hide out in. We made it a bit of a base, I guess you could say. It hasn't caused us any trouble since, so we've continued to stay there. That's all.

[compendiem]

I see. Your COMPs should be able to alert you of nearby demons, if they come. So that sounds safe enough...

[thebomb]

They seem to do so with relatively high accuracy, at least.

I'll be careful counting my blessings, but I'm glad that some of us have managed to find safe places to sleep, if nothing else.

I'm beginning to think we might be here for a while.

[compendiem]

Seems to be the case. You'll have plenty of time to practice your singing, at least.

[thebomb]

[Sometimes Armin really can't tell whether or not Minato is being genuine. He thinks that he is though. It makes Armin feel fond.]

At this point, it would only be right to let you know first if I do decide to take it up.

[compendiem]

That's up to you. But if you decide to, I'll be waiting.

[thebomb]

Got it, Minato.

[compendiem]

Thanks, Armin.
