[ saying this is hard to believe is an understatement. even now, after he’d gotten the initial “briefing” of the situation via said letter, yukio still doesn’t want to admit that it’s real, lest it all turns out to be an elaborate joke somehow. ]If any of the “Twelve” is listening, I really would have appreciated some advance notice prior to this

[ Pointy ears and a tail...?! ]

Wh-Why are you looking for someone like that?

[ His own tail might be peeking out from beneath the screen... ]

................

[ well now he didn't expect that ]

You're- a demon?

[ Welcome to Zodion. ]

... what? No! [ He looks affronted- and a little worried, he IS cursed after all. ] I'm a cat. Why are you looking for demons, anyway?

A cat?

[ he frowns. is this guy like... a cat deity that matured enough to be able to have a humanoid form? a cat that became a demon? ]

I'm not. I'm looking for my brother.

A cat. We're called Ribika.

[ His ears twitch, but then he lifts an eyebrow. ]

What does he look like aside from that? If he's here... someone will have seen him. Though I haven't seen anyone fitting that description yet.

I've never heard of you. Are you native to this place?

We're twins. His hair is only a little longer than mine, and he doesn't have the moles.

No- I come from a world called Sisa. I've been brought here the same as you- others are trapped here as well.

[ He pauses- this kid doesn't look crazy like Kil and Uru... so he can relax about the twins thing. ]

Huh... I'll let you know if I see him, then. Where are you from?

[ Sisa...? the only worlds he knows of are assiah and gehenna. this is getting more and more confusing. ]

I wasn't aware that different worlds existed other than the ones I know of. I'm from Earth, Japan.

The only thing I know about this place is its name and the apparent culprit behind all this. Can you tell me anything more?

[petspussy]

Oh... I've heard those names. There are a lot of humans from there. Way too many...

[ He sighs, shaking his head. ]

All I can tell you is what you already know. The letter you got- those are the people that brought us here.

And the worship... [ His cheeks color a little as he glances away ] You don't... want to ignore that.

I... I've heard about it.

[ he's still in sort-of disbelief because he's still 15 and he doesn't have any plan to do that any time soon. ]

I assume nobody has found any way around it yet?

[petspussy]

[ He's just technically a year or more older and he still doesn't want to. ]

No one has, though. It's... not so bad. You can avoid it, for a while, but- then this place forces you to do it anyway...

[ He shakes his head quickly. ]

So.. which part of that is your... [ What was it ] given name? I only have one name, but a lot of people from this Japan place keep confusing me about what name to call them.

Well, it's a basic act that most species engage in, so I suppose the situation has the potential to be much worse. Still, intercourse by force or coercion is a crime in society.

[ not that he thinks it would deter these "gods" any... ]

My given name is Yukio. Actually, everyone has a given name and a family name in our world. I can imagine it being confusing if you're not used to the custom.
