[not long after rin rings the bell, a swirl of shadows appear near the front desk and gemini steps out of them.]

Good evening, Mister Okumura. How may I assist you?

[aono]

Hey there!

[Now that he knows they come out of fukken nowhere, he can better prepare himself for the shock of that.]

First off: you're different from the possession-shadows, yeah?

[guestservices]

[uh.

hm.]

Excuse me?

[aono]

At the execution when Sieghart died an assload of shadows showed up and made everything dark. But you're different than the shadows right?

[guestservices]

For one thing, I am not a shadow. I imagine that is a very large difference.

[aono]

Well I dunno, you COULD be under all those clothes and veil.

[guestservices]

[they seem to bristle.]

I assure you, I am not.

[aono]

[Hm. Interesting.]

But don't you guys like. Appear from shadows and shit?

[guestservices]

Mister Okumura, might I ask how you met with your Watchers in your previous experience?

[aono]

Oh sure! There were these bits of paper and glass bottles everywhere, and if we wanted to talk to one of 'em we wrote a message to them and stuck it in the bottle and threw it out into the water. And then they would show up later.

[guestservices]

And they did not rise out of the water like a mermaid, did they?

[aono]

Nah they were just there all of a sudden. Like, I'd turn a corner and there they would be.

[guestservices]

Then wouldn't it stand to reason that just because we appear from shadows that does not mean we are made from shadows?

[aono]

Well no, but it doesn't mean you're not made from shadows too.

[A pause.]

Maybe I should say that it's fine if you're made of shadows? I won't judge you or nothing.

[guestservices]

Thank you for your concern, but that's not relevant. [rin!!]

Was there something I could help you with besides defend my position as a non-shadowed being?

[aono]

Do you know if the shadows are like...ghosts or demons or something?

[guestservices]

I do not believe that is a relevant question at this time, Mister Okumura. Why?

[aono]

Well there was a crucifix in the gift shop, and I was wondering if something like that would actually work on the shadows or not.

[guestservices]

You would have to make the purchase and decide this for yourself, I'm afraid.

[aono]

I'm half-demon, is it gonna hurt me?

[if it ends up being 'fuck around and find out' he will still probably fuck around though.]

[guestservices]

Again, you would have to make the purchase and take that risk yourself.

[good luck rin.]
