[When the communicator is switched on, it's tilted upwards, giving a nice view of a tall tree against the clear dawn sky. There doesn't seem to be anyone on the screen, but it does look nice...]

Hark! The call of the heavens, the earth, the sea... They summon me forth to defeat evil!

[Just then, you can see a man standing on a branch, his back to the communicator. The long wings descending from his headgear flutter in the wind like a cloak as he turns and strikes a pose, one hand rising over his head while the other points straight towards the camera.]

Waka, the gods' gift to man, is here! Bonjour!

[And he jumps off the branch. All rules of drama dictate that he should come floating down through the air and land gracefully on his feet, perhaps accompanied by sparkles and pretty music.

Sadly, BREW says no to powers like that, and so he comes plummeting down and falls off-camera with a resounding thud.

After a few seconds he appears staggering on screen, then shrugs as though nothing happened.]

Well! They weren't joking about our powers being stripped away. That seems unnecessarily inconvenient for everyone involved... But no doubt our good hosts know what they're doing, hmm?

[His smile doesn't quite give the impression he's entirely convinced of that.]

So tell me, Death City... How do you feel about this little adventure we now find ourselves in? I'd say this place could use some more color, but that's just me. I'm sure everyone is eager to take up arms for a noble cause!

Well then, I'll have to see if I can find a store that sells high-quality flutes, since BREW saw fit to take mine away. Excusez-moi!

[He stands there for a moment, as though expecting something to happen, then sighs a little and walks off. It's just not the same as disappearing in a flurry of glitter...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I should have mentioned that. Wait, no, I couldn't. This lack of communication between us is really fussing my fur. But yes, Pillowtalk was taken away by BREW.

I do miss your lovely voice as well, ma chérie! I could try barking if it made any difference, but it looks like we're stuck this way.

I must say, for something that is supposedly trying to stop the war, BREW seems to enjoy making things more difficult.

Well, you could hear my voice through resonance if you're a Weapon.

[Still, Waka? A Weapon? It seems like a strange suggestion] I know. They say normal weapons will not harm the Kishins or Witches, but considering our abilities and weapons, you would think BREW would let us keep them.

As it happens, I am one! You will have to tell me all about the ways of battle here~

[You'll get to flaunt your greater knowledge, Ammy. Or maybe that's just what Waka would do if their roles were reversed.]

Speaking of which... What can you tell me about our enemy?

You are? How exciting! I haven't been able to find a partner here. I've been working with other Weapons, but they're seeking others for permanent partnerships!

[Oh yay! She would be able to partner with Waka and teach him about Kishin first hand]

Right. Well, there are several. Witches and their familiars and then Kishin eggs and fully-developed Kishin.

And here I thought people would be fighting over you! Sometimes you are too popular for your own good, ma chérie.

Why don't we begin with the Witches?

I'm popular for all the attention, but not when it comes to fighting. Maybe if my fur wasn't white.

Oh yes! Well, Witches are female in appearance. It seems by nature they're mostly destructive, but for some reason, I smell a few around not at all like the ones we're fighting against. They all seem to correspond to an animal and will summon them as a familiar to fight. Their magic levels are high and they reek of Madness. We're not to engage them at our present level of... 'inexperience' here.

Or maybe if you didn't take quite so many naps. They will all think you're lazy~

So we are dealing with a threat of Orochi's level, while we are powered down to almost regular mortals... Well, I have never said no to a decent challenge. What of the Kishin?

I think you need to take more naps. When was the last time you slept a full day or night? [Huff huff]

If the Witches are Orochi, think of the Kishin as Yami. They spread Madness and consume innocent souls throughout this world. There are also the lesser called Kishin eggs which would be around your average imp with a little more vigor depend on the number of souls they've eaten.

But that would be such a waste, don't you think? There is so much to do! [Don't you huff at him, Ms. Sleeping When People Are Talking To You.]

...I admit the idea of another Yami isn't all that appealing, a number of them even less so. That sort of mess will take some time to clean up.

So much to do and no chance to do it if you don't sleep enough. [I'll sleep when I want!]

No, it's not. I think it's two really and one has been around longer than the other. So, one is Yami and the other is Ninetails. Still, we've handled both before!

I know you are the Mother of all things, ma chérie, but there is only so much mothering even a great man like myself can take. [Don't talk to me like that, young lady! Go to your room and think about what you've done!]

Now that's the kind of thing I like to hear! Time to roll up our sleeves -- figuratively speaking in your case -- and get to work!

Great man. Right. [Think about what I did? Yaaawn.]

I'll have to take you on a mission and let you get your feet wet again.

Are you implying I don't have what it takes? This pains me deeply, you realize. [Wow rude.]

It seems I'm the one with some catching up to do this time, eh? Be patient with me, my sensei. ♥

Guess you'll have to prove it.

Aren't I always with you?

Careful, I might make you swoon when you least expect it!

I have no idea what you're talking about. No one is easier to get along with than I am.

Oh dear me! Though, really, I'll meet you at the park for morning training.

Oh yes. You're already making so many friends.

[First part, sarcasm. Second and third parts, nope.]

Then it's a date~

But of course. I can hardly deprive people of my delightful company!

Have fun then! I'll find you later!
