Poi 5, voice

[first_host]

[Her voice might sound a little tired, but it's nothing to be concerned about. Especially because she sounds fine other than that.]

I suppose since I've had the time to finally settle in somewhat and to figure out what is going on here, that I ought to offer my services. Or, well, my knowledge as the materials and methods to what I can and cannot do are a little difficult to get a hold of.

The first, and perhaps the more useful of the two, is that where I am from I was from a clan that was known for their sealing abilities. When I say sealing, I mean just that. Whether it be a method to have a scroll summon someone or store items to sealing rather... difficult creatures into vessels, it can be done. Though whether it can be done depends on a few factors. I suspect here, the most we would be doing would be summoning and sealing weaponry into potentially easier to carry vectors.

[She pauses for a moment, taking a slow deep breath.]

The other is that I have something of, I suppose a gift? from my time being the vessel of a particular creature of which is no longer with me, where I can sense negative emotions. This has proven... rather useful in diplomatic matters and, I suspect, there might be some use here. Whether it be things on the train or with the knowledge of this Ministry, should we need to speak to them again. I have yet to discover any sort of detriment or way to fake said sense, so I figure it rather... well, foolproof.

[Is she going to name herself? Nah. Of course not.]

[Oh, she can't help the small hint of a smirk that tugs at her lips at the commentary about demons. She'll keep that under wraps for a brief moment.]

That sounds... rather similar to the ways ones would summon the sages. With a type of seal and a bit of blood, to make it familiar to yourself. As the sages tended to only ally themselves to those they found worthy of their time. [Some more than others, but that's beside the point.]

I see demons are a problem no matter where one goes. How interesting~

[crouching_sin]

'Sages'? I take it you don't mean demons, if you're specifying them separately like that.

They're both more and less of a problem at this moment in my world. On the one hand, the barrier between the worlds is torn open fairly widely. On the other hand, there's a new King of Demons with enough power to make the strongest of them kneel to him.

And this king isn't openly hostile to humanity, though his decisions are...

[There's a pause, and he sighs.]

Let's just say it's not the path I would have chosen.

[first_host]

Mm, I suppose sages isn't the word for them and more those that learn from them... [She mutters to herself, she didn't really bother with learning all that much about them, to be perfectly frank.] They're a special brand of creature, basically. I honestly do not know that much about them other than they teach a particular type of technique to those that seek them out and pass their trials.

Demons are... their own kind of thing. Though there were nine major ones that have been mostly placated and turned around to be used by certain people or can work with or control them. [It's all a mess, if she's being perfectly honest.]

That... sounds rather familiar, though our demons tend to be more... wild, I guess?

[crouching_sin]

I see. Interesting.

Demons do tend to be pretty wild, depending on what they are. They're basically all some sort of folklore monster that humans believed in at some point in time or another. Gods - or former gods, I should say - are some of the most powerful ones around... but then there's also things like Hairy Jack, a demonic hairy dog who would generally rather attack you than look at you twice.
