Drei - [Action/Voice]

[bamfing]

[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?

...did you see that fire demon, too?

[Voice]

[bamfing]

... fire demon? What fire demon?

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Ooooh, this question hits close to home.]

Depends what kind of demon we're talking about, really. Considering demons from some worlds are completely different from those in others.

[Voice]

[bamfing]

Well, I really don't know. I'm not much of an expert. Not the human-looking kind, anyway.

[wildconqueror.livejournal.com]

[-hey, that's a voice I know. Gonna respond to this one...]

Somethin' that's hurting people an' Pokemon. I'd fight it.

[...yup.]

[bamfing]

[... ouch, Sapphire.]

What if they aren't attacking anyone?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I've seen so many variations of what people consider a 'demon' at this point, that I don't have a set image. If they aren't attacking me or anyone else, I wouldn't do anything.

[So writes the woman who lived with dragons and talking bombs and who knows what else....]

[Written]

[bamfing]

Yeah? Well, that's good. In my world, anything that looks strange or unusual is feared and people will run away. Or sometimes, even attack.

[Voice]

Demon is what people use to refer to those beings that are basically an embodiment of every evil and negative emotion, thought or act in the world. A demon doesn't have a specific form, it can be an animal or a person. Even if it's an entity of primary evil it doesn't have to look evil, in fact it probably looks the opposite in order to lure and trap good people.

That's the theory, at least. In reality in a place like this, "demon" is nothing but another race basically. Being evil or not doesn't matter here for that.

[Voice]

[bamfing]

[Eheh, that first part leaves him a little unnerved. Even so...]

In my world, demons are said to be the angels who aspired to be greater than God, and so they turned away from Him, becoming wicked and evil instead. What most people believe them to look like is... fairly simple.

[voice]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[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.

[voice]

[bamfing]

[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.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

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.

[bamfing]

[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?

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

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

Well, a former demon.

[bamfing]

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

[voice]

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

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

[voice]

[bamfing]

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

... you're Sonic.

[voice]

[folklorist]

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.

[voice]

[bamfing]

[... 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?

[Voice/Filterd]

[goldenglasses]

I've never really liked the word demon. I don't think people should be judge by how they look or what they are, but by their actions.

[Voice/Filterd]

[bamfing]

I've never liked it either. [Especially since he's been called one enough times.] But you're right.

[ Action ]

[markofthebrave]

[So many people in the house, and no milk left means that Katara is making a trip to the grocery store. Oh, hello there familiar person.]

Hey Kurt!

[ Action ]

[bamfing]

[Oh good! He sets aside his journal for now, rather happily. He's a little creeped out by all that, but having a familiar pretty face is helpful.]

Katara! Hey, how's it going?

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

A demon...? I think I've kicked a few demons' asses before...

[This makes him an expert on the subject.]

[bamfing]

... really. [Well, at least he isn't trying to cuddle one. That's a plus?]

Do you attack them first or what?

[Locked]

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

Do you want to see one?

[Locked]

[bamfing]

Uh... [what.]

Not really.

[Voice]

[phasingly.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Kurt. She has no idea what to say about that first post, but she hopes you find your answers.

The school thing though. Hmm...]

I don't think it really matters. Since school is voluntary and everything, you're really just going for yourself, right?

[Voice]

[bamfing]

[Really, it's all made him more confused. Apparently demons are cool people.]

Yeah, I guess so. That's good enough reason to do the homework, I guess. [Or not. But... he's been doing it anyway. The system has him trained.]

[Voice]

[wanderer-jack.livejournal.com]

A demon? They are usually beings of darkness in my world, something of evil. Thus, it is acts and deeds that often determine a demon in my mind. In my travels, demons are never determined by their appearance, for some take guises that deceive the eyes and mind. An example, if you will: a being of evil that I have long fought against, Aku, took on the form of a beautiful woman who was in search of her father. He took advantage of my very compassion and want to help people to take away a chance for me to return to my own time. This knack for deception is one key trait I have found amongst demonkind. Is this of assistance to you?

[Voice]

[bamfing]

Ah... perhaps. What would you say of people claiming that there are demons here that are not evil. Do you think it might be a deception?

[voice]

[herotypical]

Depends on the demon.

[voice]

[bamfing]

Yeah, so I've heard. Some are apparently not even remotely evil. [He doesn't sound convinced.]

[Action] O-omg... livejournal, what did you do with my reply? ;; /now so late, cry

[asobouyo]

[Elicia rushes over to the door at the sound of knocking, and leans in against the frame with one listening ear.]

Whooo iiiis iiiit~?

[Guests, she loves guests! Was it a friend of papa~?]

[Action] ate it? Awww :(

[bamfing]

[At least he knows he has the right house.]

It's me, Kurt. Is your papa home?

[voice]

[pinkribbons.livejournal.com]

[...] Well, the ones from back home? I'd get away as fast as I could.

[voice]

[bamfing]

... I guess I can't blame you for that. [But it's disappointing to hear anyway.]

[voice]

[ratnavati.livejournal.com]

Depends on how much of a variety you can come up with.

[voice]

[bamfing]

Variety? What do you mean?

[likevegeta.livejournal.com]

That depends on the species.

[bamfing]

What? They come in species now?
