[Action]
Where am I..? -- ...OW!

[Well. This sucks.

And is quite painful too. I mean really, being strung to a tree by your underwear must be incredibly painful. Atsuro's just in luck, since that's exactly the predicament he's in right now! So you may find this loser ~~rolling around in a trash can~~ flailing around in a tree -- I mean.. this poor, confused new feather somewhere around the village, hanging from a tree and flailing around a bit while trying to get down.]

H-hey, can someone help me down...?! [WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON HERE.]

[Voice]
[Aaaand once that awful incident is through with, Atsuro will go ahead and tinker with his new fancy journal thing and throw up an entry! Just a tad too embarrassed to do it over video so.. Here, have some guy-who-is-literally-butthurt's voice.]

So uh.. has anyone else here arrived in really weird ways? [because really that was just awful.]

The same counts for me. I still have things to do back home, and sitting around here and being experimented on isn't my style either way.

Well, just what the word says. Summoning magical creatures. You could call them demons, I guess. [ sounds familiar, right.. ]

Yeah, I hear you.

...Demons?! Really? Like... what kinds of demons? [..That's probably a really dumb question but whatever. He's definitely pinged here.] And how do you summon them? [She doesn't have a COMP does she..]

[ and then Ange was a Devil Summoner character.. ]

Do you really have different kinds of them? Demons are demons, right? And I just summon them with magic. .. Ah, I guess they call themselves the 'Seven Sisters of Purgatory', though.

[Ohshi--

..Aaah he was hoping to just not have to talk about the demons but... If she's talking about hers, it's only fair, isn't it? He sighs.] Er... Yeah. There are all kinds of different species of them where I'm from. Like how animals are broken down into species. [A beat.] The Seven Sisters of Purgatory?

[ Well, she gets that explanation. Makes sense, really, even though demons function a little bit differently where she comes from.. ]

I see. Must be a little different from mine then, in that case. And yeah, they're demons who take on a stake form to gourge people with for a ritual, practically. But they're sisters in their more human-like form.

Well that doesn't sound really pleasant... But gotcha, I see. It sounds pretty interesting.

[...] Are demons normal in your world then?

Not really. Nobody would believe demons existed if you just randomly asked them.

... It's just that I've been pulled into an entirely different part of my own world altogether after that one night, a part in which demons are something very normal and natural.

Huh. I see... If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

[Kind of reminds him of how one day demons were just the stuff of legends and myths then suddenly became some normal reality during the next.]

I jumped off a skyscraper and became a witch.

[ said with the most serious voice ever. ]

[very long silence]

You... You what?!

I jumped off a skyscraper and became a witch. [ repeating it in exactly the same calm deadpan tone. ]

Do you maybe have some trouble hearing?

N-no but... Why did you jump off a skyscraper?!

... I'm fairly sure you could think of the answer yourself, right? For what reason do people normally jump off skyscrapers?

[Atsuro just goes silent for a second, trying to think of the possibilities. ..Honestly, he can only think of one which he really, really hopes isn't the case.]

..You weren't trying to... [And then it also occurs to him that he still doesn't even know this girl's name yet but.. that can wait.]

I guess you could say I just felt like taking some risks, or that it's because of my youthful zeal.

But.. [ her tone loses some of its deadpan, even though it's still serious. ] .. yeah, you probably have the right option in mind right now. I was trying to die.

[..First Haru, and now this girl, huh? Damn.]

But... why? [He really can't help but ask, but if she'd rather not say, he won't push it.]

Isn't it simple? I had nothing left to live for anymore, that's all.

[ And after that, her voice seems to toughen up a bit again, the deadpan slowly returning. ]

But don't worry. A witch offered me a nice and friendly contract, and I didn't die. Miraculously survived the fall, as other people said.

Wow that's... [Rough. Really rough. But Atsuro decides not to dwell on it since, well... He did notice the change in tone she had. He'd rather not drag it on.]

...Anyway, we still haven't introduced ourselves yet, have we?

No. Guess I don't really make it a habit in this place, but either way.. I'm Ange. Ange Ushiromiya.

Really? Why not? But uh. Nice to meet you, Ange! I'm Atsuro Kihara.
