Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help. Welcome to Awash's sixth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well.

[Wait. Pause. Rewind. Nyx doubletakes, tilting his head sharply as if he doesn't quite believe what he'd just heard. I wasn't demon or human...

His lips thin out and he tenses. Surely Rin doesn't mean actual daemons. He knows their worlds are different, but... daemons.]

What?

[satanslash]

[Oh.]

Uh. Guess... Guren didn't tell you about that part?

[He had no idea how much information had been passed around. Guren and Rin had naturally had a conversation about his abilities and heritage before Rin ever joined the Defense Force, but he hadn't bothered with saying much more to anyone else that he'd been teamed up with.]

Half and part demons are actually pretty common where I'm from? At least with exorcist families. One of my classmates is part of the family that's related to Byakko - er, that's a type of fox demon.

[He pauses there, sensing Nyx's uncertainty and wondering just how much he should go in to. If Satan didn't exist in Nyx's world then saying who his parentage was might not matter that much, but he also didn't want to freak him out further.]

However demons are where you're from, it's pretty different in Assiah. Not all demons are bad? A lotta them are allies with humans and some just wanna be left alone. There's plenty that cause trouble and we're pretty much at war with one'a the big wigs of the Demon Kings back home, but we've got plenty on our side that don't wanna see Assiah disappear just 'cause Lucifer has a weird hate boner for humans.

Really.

[His voice flattens out as he smothers the discomfort. Their worlds are vastly different, so naturally it stands to reason that so would the creatures that live in those worlds be. He spends a moment to breathe and school his emotions. Rin doesn't smell of the taint that some daemons carry around them like a plague, and those from home weren't even sentient. It's fine.

Nyx exhales and nods slowly, idly scratching at his wrist under the sleeve.]

I'll take your word for it. [He rolls right over that to return to safer ground. Something to revisit when he's got the time to really think. As it is the sun is nearly gone.] You'll have to tell me more sometime, when we're not under a deadline.

[satanslash]

Ah.

[Awkward.

Rin's ears actually droop slightly at the tone, blue eyes shifting away to stare at something, anything else. Too familiar, that ache in his chest reminding him of those days when his friends were angry and not speaking to him.

He misses what Nyx's says next for it, though he picks up that he's being spoken to even if the words don't register.]
