[It was supposed to be an average morning. Well, except for the sudden waking up no thanks to his Mareep brushing up against him and frazzling him with static. And the Pidgey he caught thwapping him in the face with her wings to help with the waking up effort.

But then something happened that made him nearly fall out of his spot as he stretched his hand out to block out the sudden sunlight in his face. He wasn't even in bed at Talim's home anymore. Nor was he, well, anywhere near Mahogany. How in the--?

And then there was the voice in his head. One very, very familiar voice. He had to see if what he was feeling was true, and so he stretches his hand out, palm facing up, closing it tightly--

And there it was, the shards of a card giving way to Izanagi-no-Okami.

What. The hell.]

[...Yeah how the hell did you do that...

Walter opens his mouth to answer, but Burroughs beats him to the punch.] That's right. This Gauntlet is designed for use in combat with demons; it's loaded with the Demon Summoning Application for negotiation with and storage of demonic allies, as well as a secure audiovisual communication feature, a compendium of demon-related resources, and a direct uplink to the Cathedral of Shadows fusion server - and, of course, the navigational intelligence that's giving you the grand tour, Burroughs.

...Sorry to cut you off, Master.

[Walter looks vaguely bewildered, plunking himself down against that ledge with his legs crossed.] It's not as though I could explain it half as well.

[Hell if he knows, this world is weird enough as it is 8|

Going to let that sink in for a bit, because that was some seriously advanced talk he was listening to just now, on top of, well, demons, mythological creatures of all sorts. And unlike his Personas, they were real.

Scary thought, that... he returns his look to Walter.]

She seems pretty helpful, though. [Was it a she? The voice sounded distinctly female...though what is giving gender to machinery.]

[beholdmydemons]

Why, thank you. [Walter has never really known what to think of Burroughs beyond her direct support, so he just kind of. Shrugs at that.]

I imagine we'd be long dead without her. Or not bothering with demons at all. Save the Gauntlets, there's nothing like this - computers - in Mikado. And you can bring down a demon with naught but a sword, but...only for so long.

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

Don't mention it. [One nod to the voice from the Gauntlet, before he turns to Walter.]

Sounds like this isn't the first time you've dealt with them...

I've been a Samurai for some time. Doing battle with demons is how we spend our lives. ["Some time" is probably an exaggeration - it hasn't even been a year. No loss to him, though.]
