RL with Rei Suzumura

[hugmyscythe]

[Upon arriving in modern day Tokyo during the day, Dead Master cannot help but be surprised at his world. The crowds and noise found in Shinjuku are in stark contrast to the morbid silence of her world. The greatest difference she notices is not the tall buildings, flashy advertisements, or the fact that there is a sun in the sky. Instead, it is the carefree, smiling people. How strange to find a place with the population not in fear of their lives from either the world or her kind.

She quite likes it.

Oh yes, she receives many stares--but they all assume that she is cosplaying. A few of them even sneak in pictures of her on their cell phone cameras. Dead Master ignores them, idly walking the streets. She does not know where to find Rei Suzumura. They did not arrange a particular meeting point--not that she would know where to look in such a metropolis. In the meantime she follows business men and women, students, and bums around the city.]

But you protect them. They should be happyfor that.

Most people don't even realize what's going on with that. For the best, I suppose. Makai Knights usually don't try to make their presence known in the community for a reason.

Would they be able to help you
if you told them?

[...]

Perhaps not 'help', but support?

Probably not. More than likely people would think we're insane than anything else, try to lock us up and keep us from our duties. [Snort.]

Those of us in the profession don't try branching out to civilians often, there have been too many instances of them getting killed or twisted and turned against both us and those they love.

[Though he does look pensive for a second - if he remembered correctly, though - Kaoru's father was saved by Kouga's father, and survived ... Plus her own ordeal with being marked with Horror blood.]

Though there have been exceptions. It's just ... not something we normally think of.

I trust either having others in your
duty

or enjoying the fight

is enough, if not better, for the secrecy.

Depends on who it is, really. Though it seems that my coworkers are unbelievably stiff sometimes.

[Most of the time, but meh. Kouga's at least learning to loosen up.]
