[the camera focuses in on a teenage girl, standing with what looks to be the carousel behind her. Most prominent in the video is the fact that she appears to be wearing nothing more than her underwear, and she stands, staring at the PDA as if she knows what she's doing with it. After a few seconds, she moves it so that the camera's at her eye-level

[have a very distressed looking Chrono]

Miss, are you alright? Have you been injured?

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

People here...don't die. Well, they do, but they revive after twenty-four hours, with somewhat limited body functions. No body heat, somewhat weakened senses, and they don't need to eat.

I could try killing him, but it'd just give him even more reason to come after me and the people I care about after he revived.

[voice]

[notaweapon]

You will have to find another method, then. I know twenty-four different ways to restrain a target, using only rope.

Why has he made you a target?

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

I had him captured for a while, but he managed to escape.

...I used to be an ally of his, but I betrayed him to protect someone I care about.

[voice]

[notaweapon]

You could try certain poisons, in order to render his motor functions useless.

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

.....Hm. That might not be a bad idea. Although I don't know anything that would work on a demon.

[voice]

[notaweapon]

How does his physiology differ?

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

Well...demons don't have cells like humans do. We have something similar, called legion. They draw in astral energy from the world around us, and use that energy to repair any damage we receive to our bodies.

[voice]

[notaweapon]

While referring to demons, you said “we” twice. Are you also a demon?

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

Oh. ...Yes, I am.

[voice]

[notaweapon]

I see.

What abilities do you possess?

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

Regeneration, like other demons. I have wings in my true form, so I can fly. I'm stronger than what's considered normal for a human. And I have the ability to stop the time of an object or person, but..that takes a lot of energy, so I can't use it all the time. The City limits my powers, as well--whatever I stop will be able to move again after twenty-four hours.

[voice]

[notaweapon]

Ah. I have a healing factor and increased strength, also.

The others appear to be useful.

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

...You do?

If I can use them to protect others, then I'm fine with them.

[voice]

[notaweapon]

Yes. I am a mutant.

[voice]

[tenmorehours]

A 'mutant'? A mutant human?
