[Nesreca, you have a new resident. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, he has found himself near some dilapidated buildings somewhere in Russia, and not on a boat in a rainstorm. Unfortunately, nothing of his initial reaction to finding himself suddenly compatriotless, in entirely the wrong location, is recorded. But trust me, it had been fairly loud. After scrambling up and down buildings and yelling at nothing for a bit, he takes a moment to calm a little and survey the situation.  At which point he discovers the PDA.

The following is typed with the slow deliberateness of someone testing out a rather dubious device, picking at the little virtual keys one by one.]

[--And then he accidentally hits enter. Which doesn't appear to do much... Alright, so it's like a tiny, hand-held, paperless typewriter. Which seems like a stunningly useless waste of technology. How is this any more convenient than writing on a piece of paper? And why the hell was it in his pocket? They must've slipped it in as part of the new uniform...

...And then, it occurs to him that it may serve as some sort of text-only golem. Seems like the sort of thing the Order would invent, anyway.

So, while he makes his way through Nesreca searching for any sign of activity, he types, on the off chance that anyone is reading this:]

answer.

[Rin blinks in surprise when he sets eyes on Red. Kuro is also startled and the little demon hops back closer to Rin. This guy looks way too familiar.]

Allen?! That you?! Your hair's different...

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[Opens his mouth to say something else...

PAUSES.]

No— What?

[bluedemonflames]

You look just like this guy Allen. Without the thing on your face and the weird hair...He a relative or somethin'?

[He points at the left side of his face and does a bad job of tracing where Allen's curse scar runs as he mentions it. At this point Kuro pipes in again. Rin seems to be listening and scratches at the back of his head.]

Yeah guess that could be it.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

No. I don't know anyone named Allen.

[He glances at the cat-thing, and his eyes linger on Rin's tail for a second before trailing back up to his face.]

What are you?

[bluedemonflames]

Does it matter?

[Rin crosses his arms and the end of his tail flicks back and forth a little in agitation.]

I'm tryin' to help ya out. Kuro thinks you're like this other guy we met. Another version of someone else that was here before.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

Yes, it matters.

[He doesn't care what you're trying to do. Any stranger is a possible threat; the tail and fangs aren't really helping your case.]

What are you talking about? 'Version'?

[bluedemonflames]

I'm only half human if that's what ya mean. [He's learned his lesson about keeping this particular secret from people. They'll find out eventually and they won't like it.]

It's friggin' weird how stuff works here. Around here there can be more than one version of a person. Sounds crazy, I know. There's this guy Night that looks like an older version of me around from a version of my world and that's all the proof I need to believe it. Not everyone comes from the same universe.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

What's the other half?

[He's not sure what to make of that. He just narrows his eyes at Rin, trying to determine if he's just making up crap to be funny, or what.]

[bluedemonflames]

[Rin shifts the strap of his sword bag uneasily on his shoulder.]

Demon. Ya got a problem with it?

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

You're half-Akuma?

[How can someone be half-Akuma...]

[bluedemonflames]

Probably not like you're thinking. I ain't from your world if you're from where Lavi is. The demons I'm talkin' about come from Gehenna. Ever heard of it?

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

No. What's Gehenna?

[bluedemonflames]

The demon world. Where Satan is. They can't cross over into the human world without possessing something.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[This sounds so ridiculous to him!!]

And you're possessed?

[bluedemonflames]

No! I told ya I'm half!

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

If you were possessed that could make you part demon!!

[bluedemonflames]

It would make me possessed idiot! And I'm not!

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

Not if you were like a Noah! How are you half-demon, then!?

[bluedemonflames]

I had a human mother! That's how! I don't get the Noah thing! It didn't make sense!

[And because Rin is quickly losing his temper in this shouting match small blue flames start to flicker across his shoulders and down his arms. Kuro stares up at him and mews loudly in warning.]

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

What you're saying makes no sense!

[Oh, well, that's not a good sign. Red shifts into a defensive stance, ready to activate his Innocence the second this guy moves.]

[bluedemonflames]

Yeah it does! A human and a demon makes a half demon! You work it out!

[The flames flare up a little as he ends his sentence and then die back down.]

Look I don't wanna fight with you! I'm just tryin' to take you to the apartment building!

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of demons like that!

[At least not real ones.

He glares at him for a moment longer-- and he only drops the stance after a pause, when he's sure Rin's not about to burst into evil flames or something.]

[bluedemonflames]

That's because we're not from the same place. Never heard of your Noah before here. If you wanna know more about the demons I'm talking about you should ask my old man or brother. They get this stuff better and they're here.

[He starts walking towards Red along with Kuro.]

The building is back this way. Come on. The ghost kid tell you what room you're in?

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[Steps back away from him, so he can follow behind.]

What ghost kid?

[bluedemonflames]

The girl with the white hair.

[Rin takes up the lead, picking his way through the rubble of the ruined city.]

She likes to call us toys and crap like that.
