[@Chris488]"Fuck if I know, this is supposed to be Hell, but it looks like some rich kid's apartment.” The taller man returned Seiji’s grip, and he could tell the guy was a good bit stronger than he looked. "I'm Adam." From his tone of voice, he seemed like a rough and tumble sort, too. For the first time, Seiji noticed the bandages around the other boy’s arm and his hospital gown. As they each dropped their hands, he started to ask what was on his mind. [i]Is this guy here because he actually [b]died?[/b][/i]

“Are you--”

[@Shu]Another classy demon kicked the door closed as she swept into the room, causing Seiji to flinch from the noise. She wore a billowy, oversized gray overcoat that came to a rest just above her ankles. A pair of aviators rested on her nose and ears, concealing her red eyes as they scanned the rather impressive entry area.

“What’s banging motherfuckers? Jael has arrived.” Jael announced loudly and proudly for all to hear. Seiji raised both eyebrows when he saw the goat-like creature striding alongside her, and he completely lost the train of thought he’d been on. Adam grimaced next to him, and Seiji wondered if he had the same problems with that white haired Demon that the Japanese youth had with Empusa. Just then, another human girl--whose blonde hair almost made Seiji brace himself for impact--approached the group.

[@Myling]“I'm Rosie!” The new arrival wasn’t speaking to him, but Adam’s supposed sister. Seiji didn’t interrupt their conversation, but had to strain to even hear the human girl’s response. Sasha, as she named herself, seemed timid. Seiji stepped over to one side of Adam, standing next to the man instead of in front of him as he joined the taller male in observing their company. Another girl rushed in clutching an old knapsack. She panted there in the doorway in her white sweater dress, looking as if she had run a marathon. 

"Hello... Everyone... Am... I... Late?" The girl managed to ask in between breaths.

[@Queen of Aces]“If you were, none of us would know it.” Seiji said, waving one hand as he rolled his eyes. He looked at the new girl, Adam, Sasha, and Rosie in turn as he spoke, and tried to lift his voice above some of the chaos. “All my Contractor told me is that it’s apparently in the Demon Rulebook that I come here to be ‘evaluated,’ whatever the Here that means.” He spoke more directly to the four humans now. “But it seems like there are more of them here than us? Can you make Contracts with more than one Demon?”

The very idea of a second Empusa in his life filled him with dread.
