[ continued from here ]

So...like, a for reals demon, or just someone really into mythology?

[satanslash]

[Awkward cough...]

Real demon.

[parodeity]

So...what's he doin' at your school.

[satanslash]

Runnin'... it? He's the headmaster.

[parodeity]

So is it like demon school for demons?

[satanslash]

Oh, no-- well. There's a cram school for exorcists in training, but the actual academy is just a regular school

[parodeity]

Exorcists...? That what you are?

[satanslash]

Well, not yet. Not until after the Exwire exams. Trainin' to be one, though.

[parodeity]

So, like. What do you do. The whole throwin' salt and chanting thing is I assume not the big picture exorcist thing?

[satanslash]

Salt? Nah. Chantin', yes. That'd be an Aria. They use scriptures. One'a my classmates has like everything ever memorized, it's pretty awesome.

[Rin motioned to the sword tucked beneath the flap of his shoulder bag, the cobalt blue sheath sticking out from both sides.]

I'm trainin' to be a Knight. Weapon users, basically. And a Tamer, they use demon familiars. Mine didn't make it with me, though. The other ones are Dragoons - they use guns and shit like that, and Doctors.

[He figures the last one is pretty self explanatory.]

[parodeity]

Oh, I'm a knight. I use, like, swords. Do you use swords, too? Or just demon familiars.

[ he has no idea what these phrases are but he's like yeah okay ]

[satanslash]

[Smile and nod and pretend you understand?]

Yeah. I got my sword from my dad.

[Sort of.

Long story.]

[parodeity]

Does it do anything cool?

[satanslash]

Not... really?

[Well it does but Rin is so used to it just being the holding for his power he doesn't really consider that 'cool'.

More like necessary, really.]

[parodeity]

Oh, that's too bad. Magic swords are kind of the bomb?

[satanslash]

Well, yeah. But mine is a demon sword, not a magic sword.

[Is there actually a difference?]

[parodeity]

Ok, but what is the diff?

[satanslash]

Demons are real? At least where I'm from they are.

[He is one! Well. Half of one.]

[parodeity]

So is magic??

[satanslash]

Okay, okay, look. I get the whole crazy 'everyone is from a different world' BS that's goin' on. Where you're from it's real. Where I'm from, it ain't. Just demons and whatever power they got, or whatever humans can use from them.

[Why is the book dumb idiot the one explaining this???]

[parodeity]

Okay? But, like. Doesn't it bein' real here matter more than what wasn't back home? Otherwise you're, like, just gonna be arguing with people shit they can do can't be real the whole time...

[satanslash]

I'm not sayin' that it ain't real at all, I'm sayin' what I've got ain't magic 'cause that didn't exist where I'm from.

[loooong pause]

... I think that's what I'm sayin'. Honestly this is kinda givin' me a headache.

[parodeity]

Honestly, it ain't worth arguing about either way. For all we know, we're all secretly magical girls now.

[satanslash]

Oh Christ, don't say that... the last magical girl series I heard about was super depressing!

[What is the point of this conversation anymore?]

[parodeity]

What happened? [ who knows but dave is asking about the magical girl series curiously so... ]
