Day 2 | Sunset | @everyone
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

I can't contribute much there, myself, since I don't recall what it was like outside. Merlin thought the pixies bore resemblance to what he's familiar with, though.
🔒
🔒
On more than one occasion now, when it appeared safe, I considered the possibility that it was too easy. That there must be a threat I'm not aware of. Then demons would appear at just that moment, right where I was. Maybe my intuition was simply right, but the timing was always just after I considered the possibility, like something was meeting my expectations. Answering them. I doubt it's that simple, but there might be something to it.
🔒
It's a possibility we can't discount. I don't disagree with you there.
We'll have to try our best to keep our heads on straight, though, especially if someone really is toying with our perception.
[So, then, what's the advice? Be careful with your thoughts, but don't dwell on it so much you lose your mind? Big ask.]
It's certainly a mess.
🔒
That's true. Where I'm from, I could only rely on myself, so I had to consider... Maybe it boils down to keeping our guard up but not thinking about what might be there.
I agree it's a mess. Whatever the purpose is here, I can't imagine what the desired result is, unless we're being studied in some way.
🔒
I've considered experimentation, entertainment - some form of punishment, even. As far as I can tell, we have no way of knowing, as of right now.
🔒
[ The lack of information is the worst part, in her mind... Not that she's thrilled with the rest. ]
When the only clue is that others before us failed by dying, we really don't have much to work with. I want to believe there's something though, if we can find it.
[ Considering the alternative is just demotivating. ]
🔒
There is certainly an answer to all of these questions, and the majority of us seem rather dedicated to finding it.
Don't lose hope.
🔒
I'm not blind to the fact that I'm not the only one, so you don't need to worry about me.
🔒
I meant no offense. If anyone's motivation did start to dwindle, though, I couldn't blame them. These circumstances are disheartening, to say the least.
We'll keep moving [Forward.], though.
That's all there is to do.
🔒
Why would I be offended? You were trying to be encouraging. I can imagine there are those here who need it more than I do.
[ Her drive is one thing that has never failed her yet. No further reply comes for a long enough pause that it seems she's got no more to say, but then another message comes along. ]
Do you make a habit of trying to prop others up?
🔒
[He's midway through a response when the second message comes through. He's not expecting it...]
I do like to be encouraging where I can. I think it's important. Especially under circumstances like these.
🔒
[ A simple statement of what she considers fact, after which she moves on. ]
I'll let you know when I have more observations.
[ About demons, of course. ]
🔒
Alright. I appreciate your help. We'll talk more then.
🔒
🔒
There's no need to worry about me. I've got thoughts enough for myself as well as others'. I'll keep my head straight on.
🔒
But I'll take your word for it.
[ Armin's quite different from the first person who'd tried to help her, and she thinks it's for the better. ]
🔒
Take care of yourself, as well.
🔒
[ She's been at it for...an undefined long time, simply because if she didn't, no one else would. ]
🔒
Bye for now.
