animus_network | [Video] Hello! I am a protagonist.

[Aleph is sitting at the terminal, with a winged girl in white hovering behind him.]

Nigredo and I have been discussing having a quick response team, and I apologize if anything like this already exists and I simply haven't run across it.

The main problem with responding quickly to any problem is that there are few methods of quick communication. For that reason, if anyone can make working cell phones, has telepathy, or any further method of communication across floors, please contact me. In the meantime, I'll make do.

This is Lilim. [The girl waves.] She'll be staying every day on floor fourteen, the media room, which is as close to the middle of the tower as I could convince her would be interesting to stay in. If you or anyone else need defense for any reason at any time during the day, please contact her. She'll get me from where I am. If you need the media room for normal reasons, feel free to kick her off the game console. [She pouts.]

Unfortunately I can't leave her alone at night with the monsters out and about. In that case, my room is 2-04. Please fetch me, and my roommates will have to deal.

This is as efficient a response as I can make under my current power. Again, if anyone has ways of improving this, please reply. My name is Aleph, and thank you, again.

[April gives Lilim a smile, before her expression turns curious.]

A character?

[He doesn't think they're at the point in their relationship where he can introduce her to Mara.]

Not bad. Just eccentric.

[April would freak out big-time if she saw him now, that's for sure.]

Ah, I see. So, demons are like people, then? In how there are good ones, bad ones and those who're in the grey area?

It's exactly like that.

[She nods, tilting her head in though.]

... I'm just wondering, if you're able to talk to demons and have them join you, does that mean that they live up on the human world?

Some of them do, but that's not where their home is, in general.

Where is their home?

Makai, the Abyss.

Oooh... Have you been there before?

A few times.

I'm guessing it's not a place filled with fire and stuff?

Most of it's not. I can't say I've been everywhere.

... Um, then, what is it like?

Dry. Arid. Dark, too.

(deleted comment)

Right.

Ah, I see... [She thinks to herself for a few moments.]

... Um, is it okay if I request something? I-I know I said I didn't want anything in return for helping you and this is more linked to the work I'll be doing for you, anyway...

Anything you want, especially if you need it for the work.

Um... Would I be able to take a look at your arm terminal? I promise I won't mess with it or your demons, but if I'm gonna be using my power to alert you on it, it would be easier if I looked at it first. S-so that I don't trigger something I shouldn't or anything like that...

Sure. I'll let you take a look.

Thank you, Aleph! [She seems pretty happy about this.] Um, when would it be a good time for me to have a look?

I'm not busy most of the day. How about at three?

Okay! Oh, um, where should I meet you?

How about the research library?

Ah, okay! I'll meet you there at three, then!
