[RL - birthday party.]

[unknownrival]

[Anyone who's one of Issei's friends (that does not include you, Greed) received a handwritten invitation to Issei's temple on March 3rd. They were invited over to dinner and then to schmoozing afterwards.

Dinner was remarkably delicious for something prepared by monks, and the party is now in the 'random conversation in the largest room available' segment. There's also a cake on one of the tables.

Issei will be coming to chat up every guest, or they can talk amongst themselves.]

[ordinary people you say]

[Blink blink. There seems to be a faerie making stupid faces at him. He'll just stare blankly for a moment or two before looking over to Louis.]

Excuse me. Is she- [pointing to the pixie] -a friend of yours?

1/2

[starofchaos]

Heyyy! You can see me! Hehe!

[Whether he can understand her or not is a different matter. AKA up to the mun.]

[starofchaos]

She is one of my servants. Ryudo-san invited her when he met her at my home.

[croibhristeoir]

[given the fact that we're dealing with a demigod here, why the hell not.]

Yes, I can. Please stop making faces at me like that.

[Sigh.]

Is that so? I would not have guessed.

[starofchaos]

[Pixie does a little twirl in the air before sitting on Diarmuid's head.]

Just for you!

[He hides a chuckle.]

Of course, I don't mean servants in the literal sense. There are far better terms.

[croibhristeoir]

[SIGH]

Believe me, I think I might have an idea of what you mean. [don't start talking shit about servants bro...]

[starofchaos]

I rather doubt it... She's a demon.

[croibhristeoir]

...And?

[Hi, I'd like to introduce you to Gilles de Rais, this is nothing new.]

[starofchaos]

Oh my. I was unaware that Ryudo-san had other friends who dealt with demons. One such as you, no less?

[Hi, misunderstanding massively and imagining Diarmuid as a devil summoner. Cool hat not included.]

[croibhristeoir]

Well...something like that, I suppose.

[And then we had Devil Summoner 3: Diarmuid Kuzunoha and the Awkward Encounter.]

[starofchaos]

Are you a devil summoner, per chance, Mr. Diarmuid?

[In which Cu Culhainn and Tam Lin become Diarmuid's best friends and most loyal demons and help him to save the world from the devil summoner Gille de Rais and his army of demon children.]

[croibhristeoir]

[Fund it.]

I don't...think so? What's a devil summoner?

[starofchaos]

One who masters and summons demons.

[croibhristeoir]

Ah--no, I am just a Lancer-class Servant. Something like that is more suited of a Caster class.

[starofchaos]

[A pause. He closed his eyes, an amused hum slipping past them.]

So that is the source of your odd energy. And the reason why you could see her. You are more in the nature of the summoned than the summoner... am I correct?

[croibhristeoir]

Ah...yes. That's correct.

[starofchaos]

So that is how you understood. My apologies for my rudeness.

Heehee! You're pretty cute. I didn't realise there were other demons out there.

[croibhristeoir]

No, it is quite alright--and excuse me, I am most certainly not a demon.

[starofchaos]

Liarrrrr!

[She shakes her fists angrily.]

Ah- Don't mind her, Diarmuid. The term "demon" refers to all supernatural forces. Not specifically "demon" as in... beings from hell.

[croibhristeoir]

Is that how it works for you? I hadn't realized.

[starofchaos]

All demons are in essence spirits of the same type. They take their forms based on the minds of humans. Some are more unique; beings such as Cu Chulainn or Shiva. Others have entire tribes which are identical in appearance; similar in their attitudes and natures enough to band together.

[croibhristeoir]

[DID YOU HEAR THAT MENTAL RECORD SCRATCH]

[starofchaos]

...are you alright, Mr. Diarmuid?

[croibhristeoir]

S-sorry, did you say...Cu Chulainn?

[starofchaos]

I did, yes. You seem truly shocked.
