[With his first week of school in Luceti over, Kurt has taken advantage of the day off to make something a little special. A pizza, in fact. It's for a special little friend he made, so given how ridiculous this is, he's done his best to make the pizza when Kitty wasn't at home to call him out for it. Once it's done, he'll be appearing (quite literally) at building 4, teleporting to the sixth floor to knock on the door of Maes Hughes. Hopefully your daughter warned you that she ordered a pizza for lunch.

After putting up with Brigade shenanigans and generally hanging around the plaza area, he'll even make a voice post. Crazy, innit? This is mostly in response to seeing a certain person claiming to be a demon. Something that... struck him rather odd.]

When you think of a demon, what exactly do they look like in your mind? And [a hesitant pause here] what would you do if you saw one like that?

[LATER after being bombarded with how cool demons are, Kurt says something over the journals that will elicit less freaky responses:]

School wasn't so bad here. I can't believe we actually get homework though. What happens if we fail?

Well. Again, it depends what it's doing. I've had more than a few of them try to kill me. But I've met some who serve as senators and others that are just like normal people.

Hell, I think my Dad works with one in his office now and then.

[How's that for an answer, Kurt?]

[He really... has no interest in making this a religious discussion. Especially since it's very clear what she believes is far, far different than him. Ultimately, he decides to withdraw. Arguing religion with a person from another world is a lost cause. After all, in her universe, God might not exist at all.]

I see.

[... blink blink.]

Where exactly do you come from?

A Netherworld called Veldime. And before you ask, it's not anything like Hell. I get that question a lot. Humans and angels can live in Netherworlds too, not just demons.

[... a Netherworld. Where demons can be senators. Where this is normal. This is so above and beyond what he's used to, he's not even sure how useful this is.]

Are there a lot of people here from places like that?

[He was the one to bring in the religious aspect of it, though with demons it's hard to avoid it. Luka herself doesn't really "believe" in anything, she just knows her facts, and her facts state that a demon is nothing to worry about just by its name or appearance.]

Are you surprised about the kind of demons that can be found here?

I only know of the one who declared herself to be one on the network. She didn't seem very demonic at all.

[He has to think about it before responding.] Fangs, wings, claws... I don't know. It depends on what kind of demon we're talking about. But it's common for people to think of demons in a negative connotation.

The word "demon" has several meanings depending on the culture. For example, in most of the Christian world, a "demon" is a lesser devil and servant of Satan. In Japan, "demon" and "devils" are a sort of youkai that typically dwell in Makai, their realm beyond our own. It really varies widely.

My familiar, Koakuma, is a succubus. Her name translates to "little devil", as she is a lesser demon summoned from Makai itself. Perhaps you should speak with her.

[Oh hey, sup fellow Brigade dude. He recognizes you from the meetings, but being new, he doesn't have your name memorized yet.]

Well, why wouldn't they? They're supposed to be definably evil. In other worlds... apparently demon doesn't have the same meaning.

Uh---yeah, I actually took a demon to the prom.

Well, a former demon.

Just depends on what they're doin', I guess! Does it matter what they look like?

[Ahahahaha. He really, really isn't sure he wants to chat it up with demons just yet. He's not quite taken with the idea of befriending demons.]

Yeah, I guess I could. [It occurs to him he's talking to someone who summons demons. Good grief, what has he got himself into?] But wouldn't she try to seduce me?

How exactly can you be a former demon? [And... why would you take one to the prom?]

That's what I'm asking. [Waaaait a second. He's peering now.]

... you're Sonic.

Uh, there's a few people here from my world, but otherwise I'm not entirely sure.

I'm... pretty sure nothing like that exists in my world.

Mm most people see them as being evil horned creatures with wings. Ah not all of them are like that though. It's a shame that media and culture has given them such a negative name. They're not all bad.

There might be more people like that here than you think. Villagers tend to settle into two categories; those that are hostile and those that aren't. Those who have been here a while are grateful for whoever is in the latter category, whatever their appearance.

I guess that makes sense. This isn't like a real village, after all.

Maybe he just roams from fireplace to fireplace? Next time I see him, I'll ask.

[~~And you're just more fodder for Haruki's grand Brigade plans~~ He totally knows your name since you're a newbie, but no actual conversation yet.] Yeah, that's why it's hard to pin down what a demon is; a lot of worlds have different descriptions for monsters, and even differentiate them from demons. Other places, they're one and the same.

[... what. Demons. With bad publicity. This just...]

Yeah. [He really has no response for this. All of these responses are just making it abundantly clear that Luceti is ridiculous.] Well, that's the media for you, right?

It doesn't in most of the worlds I know of, though. Mostly because demons don't exist in many of them, I think.

But why do you ask?

Mine is fairly simple. They're evil, fallen angels. But... talking to other people, demons are apparently misunderstood. And not so bad. And... it's a little confusing. [And he can't help but think all of this is him being deceived.]
