Intro Video

[unbroken_chain]

The camera feed shows a small apartment, well furnished and neat but not looking particularly lived in. Facing the screen is a young woman with long chestnut hair pulled back in a thick braid, smiling brightly.

"We just finished filming the remake of The Giant Woman so I finally have some time to myself after that demon duck thing!"

She stretches a little before propping her chin on one hand and smiling.

"I'm Kotoha Lobelia, actress, Pokemon Trainer, and part-time demon hunter. C'mon, ask me anything!"

Comments

[sora_no_raito]

"So you're an actress? What's it like being on the big movie screen?"

[unbroken_chain]

"Depends on the movie! I really enjoyed Red Fog of Terror, for example - John Pokenter is really good at what he does."

Pause.

"On the other hand, Love and Battles shows an appalling lack of understanding of how ghosts actually work."

[sora_no_raito]

"That's cool. I've only seen a few movies, really McDuck Productions though. I haven't seen too many, and often they're in black and white..."

This poor child.

[unbroken_chain]

"Wow, that's really retro, huh?"

Pause to think.

"I could probably get you tickets for the showing, if you want?"

[sora_no_raito]

"Yeah, McDuck is like, the only movie theater on our island."

"That'd be great!" A pause. "Can you get tickets for two? I need to bring Kairi and Reira. They're kind of sharing the same body."

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha doesn't even blink.

"Sure thing!"

[sora_no_raito]

"Thanks! Wow, it's really that simple asking for that? I didn't want to impose because I'm currently traveling with a group of guys in a place called Eos training with them and I know they'd like a movie but I don't know if they have the time for it..."

[unbroken_chain]

"Nah, it's fine! I bring in enough that Mr. Deeoh is always willing to let me comp tickets."

[red_of_the_dead]

Ooo what's the toughest demon you've gone up against?

[unbroken_chain]

"It was this kind of ninja oni called Ongyo-ki. He pancaked my Zoroark into a wall with one blow and nearly killed my best friend. I got so angry my Persona spontaneously evolved into its strongest form, and after we defeated him I claimed his staff as my personal weapon!"

[red_of_the_dead]

Woof! That sounds like a good brawl! I mean I have no idea what a persona is but if you had to max out your stats to take him down it's no wonder you kept a trophy.

Do you still use the staff? What kind of stuff does it do?

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha reaches behind her and pulls out a black staff as long as she is tall, curved blades topping each end.

"It's mostly just something to hit things with!"

[red_of_the_dead]

Ho snap!

That thing is practically a scythe! Where do you hide it?

I'm more of a gun girl myself but when I need to get stabby I've got my hunting knife.

[unbroken_chain]

"It's...hm. Well, my Persona manifests out of my subconscious mind. If you know the trick, you can have it hold stuff for you?"

She puts the staff away and draws out a handgun.

"I don't use it too often but I'm a fairly good shot, honestly."

[red_of_the_dead]

[A squeak of delight]

That's a pretty gun! And it helps you summon your...brain spirit thingie?

How many other weapons do you have?

[unbroken_chain]

Hmm.

"This is just a regular gun, I don't really use the summoning gun too often. I also have a collapsible stun baton and some basic unarmed martial arts!"

[red_of_the_dead]

People seriously underestimate how useful some hand to hand can be juuuuust in case your weapons fail ya!

I've got my magic machine gun, shot gun, rocket launcher, the BIG laser and of course my knife!

It's more or less enough to handle anything that came my way...until the apocalypse hit anyway.

[unbroken_chain]

Nod nod.

"My Persona, Mitra, lets me attack at range with fire, lightning, and lasers!"

[red_of_the_dead]

Ooo you are WAY too cool!

The more people from other worlds I meet the more I realize I'm no where near as tough as I thought I was.

[unbroken_chain]

"It's cool! The longer you do this, the more weird stuff you pick up! I can walk on lava, for example."

Pause.

"...actually I think I could teach you how to do that if you wanted?"

[red_of_the_dead]

[Her eyes get very large and her voice very soft.]

I would like that very much please...

[unbroken_chain]

There's a pause.

"...wow, you're cute."

[red_of_the_dead]

[She squeaks looking startled and then blushing as she pulls back and laughs a loud booming laugh that makes her chest wobble.]

W-wow! You really are something! I don't normally get cute! Sexy sure! Crazy or hot yeah but no one's called me cute like that! I...heh...wow!!!

[unbroken_chain]

Adorable! She's adorable!

In for a penny, in for a pound!

"Hey, after we finish the lesson, you wanna get some coffee and chat?"

[red_of_the_dead]

That would be so nice! It's been awhile since I've made new friends!

Things didn't go so well in my last world so...this would be like a fresh start!

[Either she's oblivious or she's trying to play it cool, either way her cheeks are as red as her cloak.]

My name's Red btw! Red Riding Hood if we're doing titles but Red is fine for me!

And who are you Ms. Super Cool Demon Fighter?
