@LmpkioBut in this case, where Rui-Ling literally has their soul, what is being revived? A new entity?

And when I saw Usagi, I thought Sailor Moon. XD

Hm...now this is an actually interesting thing to consider.

Rui-Ling's power basically revolves around the fact that he can extract the soul of a person, before either shooting it off as a beam or giving it back to their body. During that period in which the body has no soul...what would happen if Usagi (jfc, I can't take that name seriously XD) attempted reviving the 'corpse'?

@Crimson Raven

Zane's just a teenager going through puberty and chuunibyo syndrome, so he's not much of a threat. On the other hand, when you're pretty much the same as that teenage chuunibyo, despite being 2000 years old...now that's a problem. XD

Lilith still reads like she's an antagonist though, with her whole 'insane sadist with high IQ' thing going on...

Rui-Ling winced as someone’s oversized metal golem practically demolished the Café’s door. Someone would be paying for that, huh? He wondered if Shiina was going to butcher the poor sod or just drain her dry of all her money, but then, other, more important things popped up. And by more important things, he meant his desserts. It was always surprising just how quickly the Cosplay Café managed to get food out, and for that, he smiled his thanks to the white-haired cat maid. Sheridan abstained from eating, as always, but got herself a ‘free’ cheesecake regardless.

“You really should eat more,” Rui-Ling remarked, “Food’s one of the few natural pleasures that immortals still share with humans, after all. Not like you’ll gain weight or get cancer from it, right?”

Before a response could be had from the zombie, however, another, more prominent individual made her flashy entrance. The VIP of the night, Chikage something or the other. The girl that looked like a hime doll, and had enough good looks to not make a metric ton of enemies from all the pointless ‘trolling’ she did. Rui-Ling didn’t particularly like her, and occasionally, she did things that made him want to break her jaw, but it was her association that helped him get forged identification documents, so he was still in debt to her in that manner.

And, of course, she STILL doesn’t tell anyone what she’s actually here for, even though they’ve been waiting for her arrival and the briefing of the special mission for quite a few minutes now. Time was money, and Rui-Ling ate away his irritation, mowing through his sugary treats in a way that was terribly fast, and yet surprisingly tidy.

@KoL
Question: Would Rui-Ling be associated with/know of Chikage in any personal manner? Seeing how she's all about the Youkai Junction, and Rui-Ling is some sort of semi-Youkai?

Wow, scary. Rui-Ling wasn’t impressed at all by the ‘gift’ that the vampiric Shiina had sent him, but he appreciated the gesture all the same. That’s how she keeps customers in line, huh? Hopefully she doesn’t do this to normal humans as well, or they’d drop a crap ton of legal stuff on the Cosplay Café…but then again, seeing this place shut down and converted into a Pawn Shop or something else wouldn’t be too bad either. At least a pawn shop wouldn’t make him feel all disgusting and creepy whenever he goes in it during evenings.

Turning his attention back to the little catgirl maid, the ashen-haired immortal was about to bite back with a ‘of course I don’t know your story, idiot’, but decided not to. A cover, was it? And a backstory that could not be told unless Shiina approved of it? At this point, Rui-Ling could guess that she was some sort of youkai in the guise of a human, living in peace while under the supervision of that ninja vampire maid. Not too interesting of a story, in the end, seeing how it was his story as well, so he decided to discard it.

A familiar face showed up in the Cosplay Café, one that bore the unenviable moniker of the Spiced Reaper or whatever. Waving Sheridan over, Rui-Ling decided that he might as well be a good person and receive Shiina’s present. He placed his silver hand on the blade while the youkai catgirl maid grabbed it by the hilt, and pulled it up along with her.

“There we go. I’ll take that, if you don’t mind, as well as…two crème brulees, four Belgian waffles with chocolate dipped strawberries, and a melon soda float, using half a scoop of vanilla ice cream.”

Shiina literally had an infinite amount of those damned knives, after all, so surely she wouldn’t miss one of them.

Reading through Rui-ling's CS again, it strikes me that he's not even a full century into his immortality yet which would make Sheri his senior by a large margin.

@TheFake

A large margin by human terms. But pshaw, a century or two is nothing for immortals~

Anyways, Rui-Ling would be way better off if he was a few centuries older. Coulda just bought Google and Apple stocks using his centuries of economic experience or whatever and became a rich man.

What do those squiggly lines mean?

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky [Discontinued, Hiatus]

You mean 'Shiina's no fun', right?

At least I get a free knife for my troubles.
