One born of human flesh...
Man is now a race of some power...
You, son of man...
Must face the power you hold...
And you must face your destiny as well.
Though your days be peaceful...
The fated time draws near.
I am you judgment.
I sundered the tongue of your fathers
And shattered their arrogant power.\\

So long as the lord does not live in you...
All living beings hold darkness in their hearts.
If you truly wish to be yourself,
Then rise and fight the darkness within...
The demon inside.
If you have the will to challenge your destiny of battle,
Son of man,
State your name
What? Pft, like I'd forget I'm named Shiki Kamina. Stupid dream. I'm going back to sleep.

As he proclaimed this world created in seven days
Shall be destroyed by the sounding of seven trumpets
You have the will
Fear the numbers your eyes shall see
Fear the time you have left
Five more minutes...

-blinks-

Wait, it's two in the afternoon? Shit. Damnit I have to run and meet up with everyone.

August 16th, 16:00

So I just got this cool new COMP. I stumbled onto it's note taking function and I figured I might as well kill time by writing until Yuzu figures out where we want to go.

It all started about half an hour ago. My cousin Naoya had called me and my friends from school to meet with him in front of the 901 in Shibuya. Well we all got there and started chatting. Atsuro kept calling Yuzu "Yoohoo". She really doesn't like that nickname. Ever since Atsuro started calling her that, so does everybody.

I sympathize. My cousin did the same thing to me. When we were both kids, and our parents were living together he kept calling me Ichi instead of Shiki. I always asked him why he did that, but he would just give one of his weird grins and tell me "It's because you're my first cousin Ichi. The first thing is always important."

I still have no clue what that means, but now everybody calls me Ichi. Even my parents! Damnit Naoyo!

So anyways Naoya couldn't make it. The guy may be crazy smart, but he can be a total flake sometimes. Always rushing off to some pet project or another. But it wasn't a total loss. He handed Yuzu three COMPs when he bumped into her on the way here and told her to give them to us. He said we would need them.

At first I was like, sweet. A mini computer that is a cross between a phone and a game system. But of course, Naoya being Naoya it wasn't straight forward. They were running a homebrew OS and were encrypted. Atsuro figured it was a sort of test. Naoya why do you have to tease people like this all the time?

Well Atsuro managed to hack them open partially(he is good with computers. Hanging out with Naoya must have infected him). And we all had an email already.

Like how is that even possible? We haven't set up accounts or anything. But chances are the whole thing was a joke. It was from this sender called Laplace(sounds French) and it was a prediction of stuff that was about to happen. Stuff like a guy getting murdered by a big animal or a big explosion near Naoya's house. Weird.

Anyways Atsuro wants to poke around with the COMPs some more and get rid of the rest of the encryption. Me and Yuzu are going to walk for a bit because watching him geek out over code is boring.

Laters: Ichi Shiki Kamina.

This thread is back. Huzzah! And yeah, Laplace was a French mathematician who's most famous thought experiment was that of Laplace's Demon, which more or less says that if you know the place and movement of every atom in the universe, you can predict the past, present and future. Fitting, yes?

 About stuff

August 16th 16:30

So right me and Yuzu headed up to Shinjuk, around the Kannagi-Cho. The idea was to go shopping and stuff but we couldn't figure out what to do. Waiting for Atsuro to call us back kinda put a wrench in any plans.

So while we were waiting around for something to do we saw this group of people all dressed in orange robes. I guess they were a cult or something. This guy who looked kinda odd(like he was passionate, but sort of out of it) was talking on a podium they dragged in.

It was kinda hard to hear, but he started talking about the Tower of Babel returning. That's a Christian myth right? I dunno I'll ask Naoya, he know all sorts of stuff.

Anyways me and Yuzu both agreed they were weird. She wanted to go, but I figured they were something we could easily walk away from if Atsuro called so we stayed around to listen. Right um... they called themselves the Shomonaki and said something about bringing the people of the world together. But with the power of the internet. That sounds like the plot of a manga doesn't it. Anyways, the guy started talking about some Ordeal(yes he capitalized it when he said it).

Yuzu got bored so we walked away to find some other way to kill time until Atsuro was done.

August 16th 17:00

So we ended up going window shopping in Omotesando. Yuzu was asking if she fit in with the style of Omotesando. I said so, but I'm really not sure why Omotesando is better than Harajuku.

Anyways, Yuzu asked about the time, so I told her it was four-thirty. at first I thought she was going to say something about Atsuro taking forever, but instead she mentioned that Laplace email. The one about a guy getting attacked by a carnivorous beast in Aoyama.

Right then some police cars sped by towards Aoyama. Even if it is unrelated, that is some spooky coincidence. Right after that me and Yuzu remembered Naoya lives in Aoyama. So I'm typing this right now at a traffic light as we rush over there.

Wait, didn't the email say something about an explosion?

17:30 Aoyama

So me and Yuzu managed to get to the apartment complex where Naoya lives pretty fast. Some police officers had roped the place off and there was a crowd there. Just as me and Yuzu were about to leave, Naoya snuck up behind us.

And he called me Shiki. Hell yes. I said I was glad he was safe and Naoya just laughed about it. He mentioned that the guy in the apartment next to him was eaten. So Yuzu said it was just like in the email. Naoya asked me what I thought it meant.

I kinda blurted out that I thought the Laplace emails were predictions. Naoya teased me and and said my thought process was borked(damnit, Naoya and Atsuro's computer slang is infecting me) and that most people would figure the killer sent the email. Well yeah that does make more sense but... how could one person get all of Tokyo in a blackout? The email is weird.

Well after that Naoya looked off into the distance, trying to look cool and thoughtful. Okay he did look cool and thoughtful. Anyways, he told me and Yuzu to find Atsuro soon, because things were about to start. He didn't say what but he said "Don't run away, face what is happening. Don't be afraid of standing up to it and fighting back. Only then would the door of truth open and we would overcome fate."

Damnit Naoya, just talk normal for once!

So while we weren't looking he walked away. Right then Atsuro called us to say he had cracked the enryption on the COMPs, but he needed us there with him. He said to meet him at the Electric Museum in Shibuya.

That's where me and Yuzu are heading.

18:00 Shibuya

Holy shit, demons are real. My personal computer can summon demons from who knows where and let me punch them into submission. Also apparently it tells the future.

Yes, I have a magic computer. What the fucking fuck?

Right, no. I'm going to calm down and go over what happened to see if it makes sense. Which it all does. It's just so damn impossible, it's unpossible. It makes unsense. Like these COMPs run on the anti-sense algorithms.

No, explanation.

So me and Yuzu met up with Atsuro in front of the museum in a hurry. We told him we saw Naoya. Atsuro thinks the email is a prank. I suppose but... I don't think Naoya would kid like that. He likes to tell you crazy stuff that is completely true.

Off topic. Explanation nao. Atsuro explained that all the COMPs had to be together for him to crack the encryption. So we booted all the COMPs at the same time while he ran the crack from his laptop. While the crack was running I think I saw Naoya across the street. Which is weird since Shibuya wasn't crazy crowded like normal. That and he looked like he was just... watching us.

Atsuro snapped me out of it when he restarted the COMPs. Things booted normally, but then script started scrolling and the Demon Summoning Program started running. At the very end of the boot a little line of text popped in.

"Peaceful days are over. Let's try to survive."

Great. It included a nice little warning before demons from hell came out of the COMPs and tried to kill us. That's like giving somebody a candy mint on their pillow before you launch a rocket at your hotel room!

Anyways one of them, a fiary complained about being stuck in the COMP and said if they could kill us they could go free. So we got attacked by an evil fairy, a cat demon and a dog with a giant club.

The pixie went after Yuzu. She um... pushed it onto the ground and stomped on it's spine. Yuzu is scary... but the damn thing healed itself and tackled Yuzu.

The cat went after Atsuro. He swung his laptop charger like a chain into its face. After the attackhe noted that the attacks weren't really hurting. Well I disagree. The dog demon attacked me and getting hit by a giant spiked club stings like a bitch. Granted my skull isn't decorating the pavement now, so it probably didn't hurt as much as it should.

Holy shit, I got hit in the head with a club and just walked it off. So right about then a tutorial started running and I ignored it because DEMON HITTING MY HEAD WITH CLUB! I punched it in the snout and it freaked out and mumbled something about a contract. The COMP dinged and said I leveled up and I got some "macca". I put a point into the magic skill before running off to help the others.

Atsuro killed the cat demon by grabbing its tail and swinging its face into a lamppost. Yuzu killed the pixe by stompping on it again and ripping off it's wings. And then beating the pixie with its wings. Which kinda of failed since the wings are all gossamery and broke. After they killed their demons they leveled up and got some "macca" too. Then we all leveled up again and the fight ended with the demons pledging to work for us.

So after we won we were all kind of out of breath and on edge. I started seeing these numbers floating by peoples' heads. Most people had a six or seven. Yuzu, Atsuro and me only had a one.

So right, we got to talking. Yuzu wanted to hand the COMPs over to the police. Me and Atsuro agrued that would be a bad idea. Most likely because they might accidentally summon a demon that would attack them. So we decided to hang on to the COMPs to figure out how they work(fucking COMPs). That and Naoya told us to hold onto them. We figured out a few things.

  • The reason we could hurt the demons and the demons didn't kill us in one hit was because of a harmonizer function built into the COMPs. Which basically harmonizes stuff. I'm not sure on the exact mechanics but it evens the playing field. Neat.
  • The guy who got attacked by Naoya's appartment was probably attacked by a demon.
  • The laplace email seems to predict stuff.
  • As far as we can figure the COMPs are supposed to be demon fighting tools. They let us predict when bad stuff will happen and give us a chance to change it.

I mentioned the numbers. Atsuro and Yuzu can't see them. Fuck we don't know shit right now. We are going to find Naoya and get him to explain how the COMPs he built work.

18:30 Aoyama

We raun back to Naoya's appartment. Turns out he was gone. Like his mailbox was overflowing with old mail. We were lucky to have run into him.

Right then all out COMPs got a new email alert. From Naoya. Is he reading this log? Does he know how confused his admittedly average cousin is and is helping us out?

Actually there were two emails. One from him and one from the Devil survivor admin. Blah blah blah we can't get new demons from beating up the ones on other COMPs (there are more demon summoning computers?) a tutorial has been added. Oh and we should have a safe experience as demon tamers. Hahahaha. Oh right there is now a "Teams" function added to the menu. Demon taming stuff I guess.

Naoya confirmed that he gave us the COMPs to survive. He told us to head the Aoyama cemetary to meet somebody who would affect our futures. Atsuro and Yuzu were suspicious about it, but I pointed out Naoya said "person." He may be cryptic and junk, but he is also exact. He is frustrating like that.

Right as we started to head to the cemetary, Atsuro pulled me aside and explained that we each have some skill sets. Basically magic abilities. We got one each from defeating the demons. Huh, the COMPs are so magic we get magic skills. Neat.

Well we're heading to the cemetary now. Lets see who's there.

Footnote

Well now that the demons have entered the party, the audience participation part of this liveblog kicks in. From now on I will list the demons(both active in the party and in storage). Between posts you guys can write up stuff from any demon's perspective and react to the plot as it goes along. I will keep track of fusions if anybody wants to have a running commentary. Just picking up an available demon and adlibbing is fine too.

Current list.

  • Shiki: Kobold
  • Yuzu: Pixie
  • Atsuro: Kubso.

Kabuso's Journal, entry 000001

Behold, mere mortals! You are gazing upon words written by a being of absolute power...a demon! Bow down, and witness my...wait. This is sounding like a cheezy B-rate villain monologue. Let me start over.

Name's Kabuso. I'm a Beast that currently serves the human called Atsuro, and this .txt file in his COMP is gonna be the story of my life. Dunno if anyone'll actually read this, but ya never know, right? You can tell from all the 0's that I'm planning to live for a while, though I'd certainly be willing to negotiate if it meant fusing into a real beauty of a gal, If You Know What I Mean.

Y'know, life can be filled with surpirses. One moment, I'm chillin' with my fellow trickster spirits Kitsune and Tanuki. Next, I'm with two demons I ain't ever talked to before, standin' somewhere in downtown Japan, staring three humans in the face. Now at first, I think I'm gonna get massacred; an old friend of mine once thought he could take on some weirdo by the name of 'Raidou', and I ain't never heard from him since. Then I notice that none of these guys has a fancy hat or cloak, and decide that now's a good time to steal their life force and move up in the world.

Yeah, I somehow screwed that up pretty badly. Didn't notice that they had gadgets that put them at my level of power 'till Atsuro began tossin' me around like a garden salad. Prob'ly should've just Agi'd their kiesters into charcoal; hindsight's 20/20, I guess. So, deciding that I wanted to survive this mess, I'd pledge allegiance to the guy who's COMP-thing I'd been summoned from.

After that, I decided to bide my time by figurin' how to access this thing from the inside, and startin' this here journal. And after writing all that, I think this first entry's just about done...Oh yeah; one last thing. If you ever find out how to read this, Atsuro, I want you to know that my form is that of an OTTER. I am NOT a cat, and anyone who says otherwise will...dang; almost forgot I'm a servant now, and that means no rage against the master. But, I may eventually find some kind of loophole. I am a trickser, after all!

23:30 Aoyama Cemetary

Yeah. Turns out the Laplace mails really do predict the future. Right as we got to the cemetary there was an explosion nearby. A big furry demon with moose horns calling itself Wendigo came running out of the forest, yelling about some girl being strong.

He wanted to attack us, but a Shomonaki guy with a zero floating by his head came running out and told Wendigo to stop. Wendigo slashed him with some claws. I think there are still some guts sticking to a tombstone.

So right after that a girl in Shomonaki robes came running out. She had purple hair and this really weird hat. It was like a feather flowery thiny- that's not important! She told the Wendigo to stop too, and I think he was kind of scared of her. And right then a bunch of demons attacked everybody.

Naoya, for a smart person you are a fucking idiot! You don't have magical computers run the tutorials in the middle of a demon fight! Like I have more time to do stuff besides pick out keywords when a demon is trying to kill me! Let Demon Tamers ignore the manual in a peaceful circumstance!

Well I learned two important things. 1)The numbers over people's heads are a death count but you can't see them in a fight. 2)COMPs set up summon teams in a stem leaf configuration. You can pick off the demons on the side, or kill the one in the middle to get rid of them faster.

So right, we didn't have much of a problem killing all the demons. They were all weak to fire, and that Agi spell I have plus Kobold's aggravate ability made them go down fast. I think I'll look into magic more.

So yeah speaking of magic, the Shomonaki girl used a fire spell on Wendigo. While my spell just shot a ball of fire at the demons, hers' was like a bomb going off on them. Wendigo ran off cussing about how he knew our scents and would find us later. Lovely I have a moose gorilla from hell after me when I didn't even do anything to it. But the Shomonaki girl ran after him so maybe Wendigo will be killed and we won't have to deal with them.

After the fight, everybody was shaky but better than the first one. Having the demons fight for us really helped. It is kinda odd that the Shomonaki have COMPs and know about demons. I guess that means they have been around for a while. Well I suppose they would have to for Naoya to build a device to summon them.

And right then the last prediction in the email came true. There was a blackout. Which is really creepy when you are in the middle of a cemetary. But it was weird. Our phones couldn't get any reception and... seeing Tokyo so dark is eerie.

So right after that the Shomonaki girl found us. I guess the glow from the COMPs made it easy for her to find us in the dark. She introduced herself as Amane Kuzuryu, the maiden of the Shomonaki. I guess that expalins the feather-flower-hat. We all introduced ourselves. Thankfully Atsuro and Yuzu let me introduce myself instead of just calling me Ichi.

Right then Amane left us, saying Wendigo let some of his minions loose in the cemetary. She set up a barrier for us that will last until morning. So great, my friends and I have to sleep in a demon infested cemetary.

That's probably why I'm writing this right now. To take my mind off how scary and weird this whole thing is... oh look I have emails from Atsuro and Naoya. brb Journal.

23:45 Aoyama Cemetary from hell

Naoya's email was an explanation of the Laplace email. He explained how it predicts the future. It is supposed to analyze and record everything that happens simultaneously and put it into a forumla or something. That lets it predict the outcome of things. It's not perfect, but it is supposed to be a good forecast.

Atsuro's email was a test. Turns out COMPs still have working email functions. And that when two COMPs are close together they learn it automatically. Atsuro is going to teach Yuzu about it. He said today wore him out. I set an email back saying the same. Today has been crazy.

Whatever. I'm going to sleep. Well figure out how to get out of this in the morning.

Footnote

For the benefit of readers, I am going to explain a few visual details of combat that Shiki will omit because they are so obvious to him it doesn't warrant journal entry. Most notably how combat works.

The COMPs are something that is kinda narmy if it is infered that combat occurs the same way for the characters as it does for the player. So a list explaining how the COMPs interact with combat.

  • COMPs utilize the Harmonizer function to float at roughly their user's chest level.
  • Demons appear physically beside the summoner. They have a ten foot radius within which they can move.
  • Commands to demons are either issued by using the mic built into the COMP or scrolling through a menu.
  • Personal skills are activated by voice command, which instructs the COMP to run that skill.
  • The COMPs display a rough map of the area based on a quick query to the Laplace server and the signals from other COMPs in the area.

That's all. More to come soon.

Kabuso's Journal, entry 000002

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Okay, maybe I should back up a bit. So, after the new master and his buds reached a cemetary...which is a really odd concept, if you ask me. I can understand that humans don't fade into macca and magnetite when they die, and that disposal of the bodies is required. And the whole 'burying holes' concept is probably more respectful than a dump, and cleaner than throwing the rotting corpses into a pot of acid. But what do you do when you run out of places to dig? You humans cover the entire world, and ancestors you can't even remember have already taken up all the prime real estate. There just can't be enough room for EVERYBODY in EXISTANCE, right?

...Where was I? Oh yeah, love. So after getting to the cemetary, there was this big explosion. The fire and smoke type, to be specific. Next thing I know, the At-man's called me out to battle a bunch of demons invading the turf. Dude, you'd better be glad I don't really associate with guys that aren't tricksters like me, or I'll have a lot of explanations to do once this whole mess is over and done with and we're all back in the demon realm.

It was a few seconds later, after torching some smelly Ogre with one of my better Agi castings, that I first noticed her. She was at the other end of the joint, focused entirely on the fight she was in. But I got a good look at her face, and...well, my little demonic heart skipped a beat. The way that her hair framed her face...I mean, there's good looks, and then there's...WOW. And she's powerful, too! Don't think I'll ever cast a spell as powerful as hers in this lifetime!

At first, I was really, really worried that she was going to die in the middle of her fight. I mean, I said she was strong, but that opponent of hers looked powerful enough to rip her sould right of of her body on a mere whim. But thankfully, the conflict ended before anything really gruesome occurred. Kinda disappointed that she was gone before I could really get the chance to know her, but such is life, I guess. Some part of me knows that we'll have a proper meeting one day soon, and it shall be the epitome of beauty.

...Then again, as far as I know, that Wendigo was a dude. It's so hard to tell the gender of some demons nowadays...

Day One: Tokyo Lockdown

9:00: Shibuya

So right, first journal entry on the go. Woot. Anyways Right now we are sitting outside of Shibuya station, listening to some SDF people tell us to shut up and not panic. Oh look a group of three people. Maybe blond girl, black haired girl and red headed girl with red trenchcoat are the people the Laplace mail warned about.

No, wait, they have sixes above their heads. Guess it us who are slated to die by snowman at 1 oh clock.

Right since we seem to be boxed in by the crowd I might as well explain how we got here.

  • We woke up at the cemetery. Demons passed by in the night, but it looks like Amane's barrier was legit.
  • Blackout continues.
  • We got two emails. One from Naoya and the other from the Laplace server.
    • Naoya's explained the Deathclock(totally sounds like a metal band. Important parts. Is a result of running data through the Laplace server, only goes nine days into the future, only party leaders like me can see it and it can be changed.
    • Laplace: Power Stays out in the Yamanote Loop. Poisonous gas is supposed to have leaked, causing the loop to get lockeddown. At 13:00 three people will be killed by a snowman. Those people might be us given our deathclocks read zero.
  • I didn't have to tell Yuzu and Atsuro about the deathclock counts. They remembered on their own. We decided to head to the train station and find a way out.
  • Along the way it looks like demons have been running wild in the streets. Cars are tossed around and stuff is wrecked. It looks like a disaster movie. Only worse.
  • We got to the train station only to find a SDF barricade and a huge crowd. Which brings me up to speed.

Yeah the crowd is finally starting to disperse. Me and Atsuro think the barricade is fishy. No way the SDF could have locked down the whole Yamanote Loop in one night. Do they have access to the Laplace email too?

So right, we made a decision. We are going to find a way to change the numbers on our death clocks. If we can get more than a today to work with we might be able to find a way out of here.

9:30 Miyashita Park

Nothing much to report. We've walked around a little bit. I found out a few things.

  • Atsuro's parents are computer engineers. They work over in America.
    • Most of his friends were people on the internet. They would always treat him based on how smart he was, not his age. I guess anonymity has its upsides.
  • Yuzu's parents are divorced. She has been living with her mom for a year.
    • Her mom is also really on edge. Ah, that can't be fun.

It's kinda cool to know more about my friends. It also doesn't help us stay alive. I think we're going to head back to the train station or check out the loop.

10:00 Shibuya Station

And the crowd is still there. So now dice. We did meet a guy named Kaido though. He has six days left on his Deathclock. Lucky bastard.

Anyways he is a gang leader for the Shibuya Daemons. Not demons, Daemons. Like a guardian spirit or something according to Atsuro. Anyways he doesn't know about a secret exit.

We did ask him to look for Naoya for us. He agreed, so that was cool.

Huh, six is a pretty common number for the Deathclocks... better than us but still pretty bad if a lot of people will die in six days.

Ooh, new emails. brb.

Huh Naoya added a new function to the COMPs. We can apparently use the "macca" we get from killing demons as currency. To buy more demons. From a demon auction site. Like an ebay from hell. Dbay!

Anyways we have decided to check this out. More bloodthirsty demons on our side can't hurt.

Atsuro did point out something; it looks like Dbay has been around for a while. After all, all Naoya did was get us a subscription. So apparently people have been using the internet to contract demons for a while. Damnit Atsuro why are you good at pointing out creepy stuff?!

Oh well, going to check out Dbay now.

So yeah we ran into some demons on the way there. With the new demons on our side they went down fairly easily. Atsuro is pretty good at just punching demons so I reassigned his Zio skill to Yuzu so she would have an offensive spell.

Granted that she grabbed an Ogre by the face and melted that off with a lightning bolt I think she likes it.

Team read outs.

  • Shiki: Kobold and Pixie
  • Atsuro: Kabuso and Ogre
  • Yuzu: Pixie and Kabuso

Yeah, we're heading off to check the Yamanote Line.

10:30 Ebisu Station

Yeah, the Yamanote line was blocked off there too. Looks like the blockade is bullshit on some level. They are warning us about poisonous gas but they don't have gas masks themselves.

Oh and the SDF guys don't have Deathclocks. So apparently they will live through whatever will kill people in six days.

Other thing that is weird. Our COMPs can't connect to an outside server to send email home. Naoya's homebrew model must be odd.

...just a thought but how do we get macca after we kill demons? It is supposed to be hell's currency right? So do the COMPs loot demons when they die?

I dunno. We're looking for another way out.

Kabuso PRIME's Journal, entry 000003

Well, it looks like the Masters aren't going to be gettin' rid of yours truly anytime soon. Their little corner of the human world is in utter chaos, and they'll need some real power to get rid of this mess! Seriously, what's the best they could do without demons like me? Try to punch foes to death, wearing a cell phone strap around their knuckles to keep them from brusing? Yeah, that'll be the day...

What's really cool, though, is that they found out about the Auction service. Hey, At-man? You readin' this? Just want you to know that your fuzzy little amigo here would sacrifice his chances with that furry femme fatale from yesterday if it meant a wonderful mail-order bride ASAP! Yeah, that sounds pretty selfish, but what did you expect? I'm from the realm of sinners, and I haven't had a date for a whole lotta centuries!

...'Course, there is one thing that's makin' my fur stand on end. Notice that 'PRIME' in today's entry? Yeah, that means I'm not the only Kabuso 'round these parts anymore; they got another one o' me! Now, I realise that the Masters prob'ly won't last too long without every advantage they can get. But, it's really freakin' weird to suddenly see your clone pop up without you gettin' a heads-up! It's like they've stolen my individuality!

Also, this one didn't need to be swung around by his tail before signing on. Lucky moron...

11:00 Omotesando

Right after we left the Shibuya we met this guy named Gin. Yuzu knows him. Turns out he is the guardian of this singer Yuzu likes named Haru. He's a nice enough guy I guess.

Since the power is out he doesn't know about the lockdown yet. Huh, his Deathclock read six too.

Yuzu and Atsuro think staying around people with higher numbers might help us survive. I dunno. Gin went to take a nap in his bar. I hope a demon doesn't kill him later.

11:30 Roppongi

We kept wandering around. We found a crowd around a singer. Yeah for people in a situation as desperate as ours we sure seem to faff about a lot.

Anyways turns out this singer was Haru. And when I said Yuzu is a fan of Haru's she totally is. She was cheering for her the whole time. Well Haru is pretty good so I guess I'm a fan now too. Just a quieter one.

One thing is worrying. Her Deathclock reads zero too. We decided we need to boost our own numbers before we try to help Haru.

Off to the Yamanote line then.
