Puella Magi Megami Tensei

1. Kyoko never accepted Dante's offer, but she didn't refuse him, either. She's on the fence, as of now.

2. They weren't joking. Dante and Vergil would have made Sayaka drag that sword all the way to Mami's apartment, much to Sayaka's dismay.

3. Yuma is surprisingly good at FPS games, despite never playing one.

4. Shadow, decidedly, likes being pet by Yuma. He won't actually look at her when she does, however. He's embarrassed.

5. Griffon gives Yuma a hard time a lot, but he likes her. He just doesn't know how to express himself any other way.

6. Homura has a hobby of collecting guns, even if she doesn't use them. It's her guilty pleasure.

7. Shoji is horrible at expressing his feelings, often to the point where he doesn't even emote.

8. Kohaku would gladly watch Cardcaptor Sakura with Yuma, but she has to sit one space away from Yuma. It breaks her heart to see Yuma so...

9. Nagisa is ecstatic to have her mother back home. Nagisa's mother is just happy to be alive. Sure, she's not yet fully recovered from her hospital stay, but they have calm fun around the house.

10. Louis wishes he had a family.

[X] An actual, mature response. Good job.

You take a deep breath, and exhale. "Don't worry about it. It's not like you could've known." The tension in the room slowly dissolves, causing everyone to relax slightly. "I know what you're gonna ask, and the answer is that she died when I was four."

(INT ROLL: 17+7)

Vergil's eyes soften for a moment. Then, they're right back to his confident glare. Regardless, you continue.

"My old man had me take some self defense classes, and the rest is history." With a shrug, you conclude your story. "Maybe that's how I was able to pick that stuff up so fast."

"Hey, you've still got one up on me." Dante replies, "You've still got a dad, at least."

"I thought you said that you had no father." Vergil verbally prods his brother. "I remember distinctly--"

"Oh, you remember that, but not Jackpot?" Dante flops into the seat beside you, "That was our thing!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Vergil tells his brother.

"Come on, you know the thing! It was our catchphrase!"

"I do not recall."

"Hold on!" Kyoko slams her hands onto the table, getting everyone's attention, "Is there anyone here who has both of their parents alive?!"

You look around the room, only to find...

"...Now I feel awkward." Shoji says, raising his hand.

Kyoko looks deeply disturbed to find no other people here with two living parents.

"Yuma's getting hungry." Yuma declares, taking her seat.

"Yeah, hurry it up! My poor host is gonna starve!" Griffon bemoans, "And she won't even get to show you all of her new nightmares!"

Yuma stiffens as all eyes flock to her. "Um, Yuma made a n-new friend!"

"What kind of friend?" Kyoko hazards, looking Yuma over for something.

"The kind you get when..." She trails off, "...Yuma will show you!"

Yuma's scarf reappears, and suddenly...

...In front of you kneels a... Girl. Her hair is about medium length, and wild looking. She has an armored dress, but it looks rusted in places. There's a small buckler shield on her left arm, and a lance in her right hand.

Horns protrude from her head, almost like a horned lizard of some sort. All across her skin, you see... Scales?

"Um, this is..." Yuma presents the girl, "...Yuma's new friend...!"

She silently continues to kneel.
