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

At this point, it could be.

[ 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. ]

This isn't the first time my situation seemed hopeless. I want freedom now even more than I did then, because I had it for a brief moment. My motivation's not going anywhere.

I'm not blind to the fact that I'm not the only one, so you don't need to worry about me.

[ For her, it's that unattainable yearning ingrained into the very core of her being. And so it bears its own very different weight. ]

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?

It's kind of you.

[ 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. ]

Make sure you spare a thought for your back while you're watching everyone else's, in the meantime.

Call that my attempt at encouragement, if you like.

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. ]

Been doing that as long as I can remember, so I've had practice. No need to worry.

[ She's been at it for...an undefined long time, simply because if she didn't, no one else would. ]
