Sayaka: So how did you know I was Bi before I did?

Madoka: You didn't?

Homura: The possibility made itself apparent when I first heard you say "Madoka, let's run away together".

Mami: I always figured you were somewhere in that area when you held Madoka's hand, fingers interlocked.

Kyoko: I'm a pastor's daughter. My Gay-dar™ is never wrong.

Nagisa: ...Yeah, you like girls, Sayaka.

Yuma: Girls can do that? Sayaka isn't gonna get in trouble?

Oriko: She will, but for a bunch of other reasons.

*Beat*

Oriko: ...But yes, mainly that.

Kirika: Disaster Bi! Disaster Bi!

Hitomi: But how are you still single? You like everyone, but no one likes you?

Gouto: God, is there anyone around here who likes men?

Yuki, entering: Hey.

*Long beat*

Yuki: ...What? I only came here to ask for money so I can fuel my addiction to Dx2.

1111: Mido, And Rumors. New
[X] "WARP ZONE!" ~ Super Meat Boy

"If you want to, sure." You shrug, "There's a Terminal at our building, so it'd be a really quick trip."

"You know, I always forget that magic is real." Shoji says, "Let's head out real quick, see what's what."

You nod, turning around and heading back to the living room.

"Hold up." Gouto says as he sits down right in front of the door to the backyard, "If you're going somewhere, I'm sticking with you."

"Huh?" You stare at the black cat.

"C'mon, my only alternatives are "hang around here" or "follow Raido to Michiru's", so if you're going on a little adventure..." Gouto stretches, "You're taking me with you. Copy?"

You glance at Shoji for approval (and in confusion).

"Uh... What if we get attacked by a demon?" Shoji tries to argue.

"They don't bother me." Gouto refutes Shoji with expert precision.

"...Okay? Just, uh, don't fall behind?" You agree to the cat's terms, unsure as to the black feline's motives.

"Feh. You better not slow us down." Gouto fires back, "Anyhow, lead the way, oh great child of the Kuzunoha Clan."

Rolling your eyes at this, you step outside and head straight for the Terminal. You reach out your hand...

...And pop up at your apartment complex.

"...Huh." Gouto grunts, "I always thought you lived in a dojo or something."

"Are you gonna be like this the entire time?" Shoji asks, already tired of the cat's routine.

"Probably. Haven't decided just yet." Gouto hops up onto your shoulder. Surprisingly, he's very light.

Shoji sighs in defeat, "Okay, just making sure."

Moving past this, you and Shoji head up the stairs, and down to Mido's Apartment of Shadows.

"Welcome to the Cathedral of Shadows, where demons gather..." Mido says in the exact same tone he's said it every time you've entered.

Shoji looks up and around, taking in all of the sights and sounds of Mido's house.

"Hey, Mido!" You wave, "I've got a question for you. Wanna chat for a second?"

"Is it about demon fusion?" Mido asks.

"...It's adjacent to demon fusion." You say.

"...That works." Mido nods.

"Do you know how Rumor Demons are created?" You ask.

"Ah, Rumor Demons!" Mido says wistfully, "They are quite rare indeed, even amongst summoners who hunt them! I've read many theses and hypotheses about their initial birth, but none really "hit the nail on the head", so to speak. From what I gather, Rumor Demons are born from rumors that are old, well known, and/or dangerous. Take your Rumor Demon, Turbo Granny, for instance. It is quite a well known rumor, older than many would think, and causes the deaths of those who speed."

"Would a five year old rumor be able to--?"

"No." Mido instantly cuts you off.

You all stand there in silence for a moment.

"Now, have you come to fuse any demons?"

There's a word missing here.

[X] "Not tonight, no."
-[X] Ask Shoji if there's anything else he wants to do while you're out
--[X] If not, warp back to your granparents's house

i do have a fusion chain prepped, but I'd like to hold off on it until we're at a high enough level to fuse Hel… and preferably until we have a bit more Magnetite.

Also, @TremendousMilk3, the "Treasures and Trials are Scattered" modifier is still missing from our Active Modifiers.

Naturally, this can only mean that there are special circumstances involved and there is a Yumi Demon around.
I mean, we've got Alt-Timeline Yumi(Yuki), and the Demifiend is out knocking about(thankfully he's not turned his gaze our way just yet), so logic would dictate that there's a timeline where Yumi was never truly 'human' to begin with. or was, but due to things far beyond the control of many, had to be emergency-fused with a Demon. not unlike the situation of Pascal, Jimenez(Strange Journey), and a few others across the series.
Hell, SMT4/4A brings up the existence of Demon Counterparts to people who were otherwise human in the 'proper timeline', such as that game's Akira.

Okay, I've given my voters a perfect chance to fuse some stronger demons! I can't wait to see what they--

1112: Fusion Rants! New
[X] *Turns to Mido* "No."

"Oh, not tonight, no." You shake your head, watching Mido instantly lose interest in the conversation, "But I also want to let you know that I ran into someone else who practices demon fusion."

And just like that, Mido is interested again. "Another practitioner of demon fusion?"

"Yep, and she might drop by some time!" You say happily before adding, "...But probably not for a few days. She'll be busy with... Stuff."

"Then I shall wait patiently for her arrival!" Mido nods, "To think, even women are becoming gurus in demon fusion! It's like I'm not alone, even though I'm here in my home!"

Shoji leans in close to you, "Do you think he meant for that to sound... Like that?"

"Probably not." You reply in an equally hushed tone.

"Of course, there was this one young woman who constantly drew attention to the fact that she was a woman partaking in the art of demon fusion, suggesting that she is an exception to the status quo and not part of it. Honestly, she made it seem like only old men could perform fusion, when in reality, young talent and fresh ideas are the backbone of the art! There was this young lady I met who..." Mido goes on and on about... Honestly, you've kinda lost track.

You glance over at Shoji, "...So, is there anything else you want to do while we're out and about?" You mutter, trying not to interrupt Mido.

"No, that was pretty much it." He admits, "...What about you?"

"Nah, I'm fine with heading back," You sigh, "But leaving in the middle of his story seems rude."

"Story? Yumi, this is more of a rant, I think." He jokes.

"...Unfortunately, she bought faulty equipment and atomized herself as she tried to fuse with a demon. She was a good student of mine." Mido finishes, "Oh, you're still here in the Cathedral? Return when you have gathered more demons!"

You and Shoji leave.

"Man, can he ever talk!" Shoji rubs the side of his head, "Makes me wonder how hard it is to fuse your own demons..."

"...I think I knew that girl from his story." Gouto mumbles, "Raido and I searched everywhere for her. ...Oh, uh, different Raido."

Ignoring that for the moment, you head back to the Terminal, and pop back up in Grandma's backyard. You stretch, ready to wind the day down--

Your phone buzzes. Hm, it's a text from Sayaka. You take a look...

> (1) Blueberry: yumi there was this weird guy taking pics of me and mami from across the road!!!! it creeped me out >~<!!!!!! I already told the police but its still kinda bugging me!!!!!!!!
