I know the reason for all of us being brought here isn't known, but I've heard that a lot of people were also brought in from war, or-- some kind of fighting. So, er, I was just wondering:

How do you fight? And what for, if you did?

And if you weren't in a war... what did you do to pass a day? Did you work, or study for school, or...? [a trail

I fought to keep my fr- someone special protected.

But mostly, I guess I fought for me.

I didn't have a job, or a school. Any real purpose I found...has been while I've been here.

[payingthepiper]

Ah-- has that someone ever been on the island?

[madeinoblivion]

Uh-huh. She's here now.

[payingthepiper]

So now you've found a lot more purpose?

[madeinoblivion]

More than I had before.

[payingthepiper]

Do you prefer it that way?

[madeinoblivion]

I like it all better now. I've got more friends.

[payingthepiper]

That's definitely one perk of this city.

[madeinoblivion]

What about you... You were from a war?

[payingthepiper]

Sort of. You could say that I was fighting to save souls, but - that sounds a bit cheesy, really.

I was an exorcist. We took care of bad spirits. Or, well, demons, if you'd like to call them that.

[madeinoblivion]

You fought darkness? Or ghosts?

[payingthepiper]

A mix of both, really. They were called akuma.

They had the same strength as the Darkness monsters, but they were really just trapped souls.
