{So, that's the giant.

Tiamat who formed all things,
Made in addition weapons invincible; she spawned monster-serpents,
Sharp of tooth, and merciless of fang;
With poison, instead of blood, she filled their bodies.
Fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror,
With splendor she decked them, she made them of lofty stature.
Whoever beheld them, terror overcame him,
Their bodies reared up and none could withstand their attack.}

Interesting.

{...but there's only one gigantic monster.

Ten to go?}

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

{You're quite knowledgeable, Little Miss. Perhaps this is the last of the eleven...or something else entirely.

St. Martha would be more useful, perhaps.}

[sisterdevil.livejournal.com]

{I've had nothing but time to learn and play.

...St. Martha?}

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

{Knowledge is power, as they say.

St. Martha is the tamer of the Tarasque, a great dragon with legs like a bear, an ox-like body covered like a turtle's shell, a lion's face, and a tail with a scorpion's sting at the end. It was impervious to the efforts of man, but she calmed it with prayers and hymns, and it became docile and offered no resistance to the townspeople, who killed it without knowing of its new gentle nature. In repentance, the villagers converted to Christianity and renamed their town "Tarascon" in its honor.}

[sisterdevil.livejournal.com]

{Christianity...

...that sounds kind of familiar. Don't know why, though.

I know the Tarasque, though.}

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

{Christians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, who claimed to be the Son of God. The Messian Church in my world is the descendant of that religion.}

[sisterdevil.livejournal.com]

{...Huh. Haven't heard of them.

They sound interesting, though. How could a God have sons?}

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

{They say that their god (they call him simply "God" - they believe he is the only true god, so perhaps calling him anything else would be meaningless) descended upon a woman and used his powers to conceive a baby inside her, half human and half divine. He was intended to be a savior for humanity, they say, a messenger that would point the way to Heaven.}

((ooc: LOL DON'T MAKE FLANDRE ASK WHERE BABIES COME FROM IF SHE DOESN'T KNOW))

[sisterdevil.livejournal.com]

{That doesn't sound quite right. I'm pretty sure that's not how children are spawned.

That sounds interesting, though. Half human, half divine...?

So, he was an enemy of the devils, then?}

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

{Not normally, no. They considered it special, and named it the "Immaculate Conception."

From the stories of his life, the son - Jesus, they said his name was - opposed not beings, but concepts. He opposed discrimination based on race and gender, and advocated helping the poor and downtrodden.}

[sisterdevil.livejournal.com]

{Huh.

This is rather interesting.

So, wiseman, what's your name?}

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

{I'm glad to have someone who's interested in this.

Kashima Naoki. Yours?}

[sisterdevil.livejournal.com]

{Flandre Scarlet.

Sometime, I wish to talk to you. You sound like quite the teacher.}

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

{Oh, I wouldn't call myself a teacher, but it would be nice to talk to you in person sometime, Flandre.}

[sisterdevil.livejournal.com]

{Alright, then, Naoki.}

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

'Interesting' is an interesting way to put it.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

I am not frightened. Am impressed, though.

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

One of the few then.

Oh? About what?

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

It is very large. It impresses me.

Are you frightened?

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Doesn't take much to impress you.

Me, frightened? This is nothing.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Am not awe-struck, merely impressed.

Well. You have seen worse, then?

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

... you could say that.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

It is same here.

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Is something wrong?

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Just wondering. It's not everyday you meet people who claim things like that.

But then again, anything goes around here.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Anything, yes. Except escape. Or Internet.

Your name?

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Call me Croix. Croix Raoul.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

I am Kashima Naoki. Surname is first, if you do not know Japanese name order. It is pleasure, Croix.

...French?

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Pleasure.

... excuse me?

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Croix. It is French for "cross," I think. You are French?

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Well now, the more you know.

Sorry, never heard of it. So... no.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

I see.

Now, I would know more. What do you do?

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Freelance demon hunter.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

I knew one before. He was very confident.

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

It helps to be, when you're in the business.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

For any dangerous business.

Cogito, ergo sum. "I think, therefore I am."

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

Of course, this applies on both sides.

And what about you then?

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

((ooc comment: O HAY DEMON HUNTER IM A DEMON))

Tactician. Was forced by circumstance, but I improved fast enough.

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

((OOC: HAY, WE SHOULD GET COFFEE SOMETIME 8D ))

You wanted to improve, or you had to?

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

((ooc comment: SOUNDS FUN I WILL BRING CRUMPETS))

Had to to survive but improving was good for me also. I like to live and I like to help my friends.

[moralitychained.livejournal.com]

((ooc: THIS WILL BE A SMASHING GOOD TIME))

Heh, right. Living is always good.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Yes. Very good.
