I did and sent him flying a few good feet while I was at it. Poor bastard couldn't look me in the eye for months.

[Well it did help he just crashed the party right after she ascended to goddess status. Poor bastard didn't see that coming. She raises her glass as well.]

You know I've been meaning to ask, your accent that's from New Jersey, right? I actually studied abroad in New York ages ago so I knew it sounded familiar.

[charming_jerk]

Pretty much. Born in Newark but moved to Manhattan was I was like nine or ten. [And obviously raised by Italian New Yorkers, with how he talks. if his last name wasn't a give-away.] Yer from Japan, right?

[needsteaplz]

[She gives him a smile and flashes him a v-sign. And yes, there's some faint signs of red on her face. Just don't ask how much she had before Johnny signaled her.]

Straight outta Kyoto. I majored in English so of course I had to come over to the States to study a bit. Used to be a translator for a Japanese publishing company before things happened. Like dying. Yeah nothing like getting your soul ripped out of your body because someone wanted a soul-based power boost.

Though I did eventually manage to pick up a bit of every language...but it's limited to food and drinks. Bet no one ever saw that coming, right?

[charming_jerk]

Heh, I always heard that was the most important thing to know in any language, anyway. I mean, I took French in high school, and I doubt if I ever go to France that I'm gonna be askin' where the library is.

Sounds like ya had some interesting shit goin' down, though. What kind of asshole goes around rippin' souls out of people?

[needsteaplz]

[She laughs.]

Food for the body before food for the mind, right? France is rather lovely though but my best tip is to just explore and avoid the touristy stuff unless waiting in lines is your cup of tea.

Well, the kind that believes in rumors that consuming souls can boost powers or even extend your lifespan. It's mostly power-hungry supernatural beasts and beings from around the world. I moonlight as part of corps specializing in dealing with rogues like them. Let's just say it's never a boring night.

[charming_jerk]

Man, I hear that. Coulda used folks like you back where I was from. Demons are tough fuckin' customers, though, lemme tell ya. [He shakes his head and takes a long drink. He's often surprised he's still alive after everything that happened back home, let alone in Exsilium.]

Not that I ran into any other supernatural shit, though. Just demons. And uh, one angel. If there's, like, vampires 'n werewolves and stuff out there, I wouldn't be surprised, but I ain't ever met any.

[needsteaplz]

If we ever find a way to travel to other worlds, I'd be happy to help you out.

[And of course she means that sincerely. At the comment of angels, vampires and werewolves, she gave a nod.]

Heh. You never know. Where I'm from, we have an other realm where gods, demons and what not exist. We just to go into plain hiding when we want to stick around the human realm. Zeus is the only one who's banned from ever going because...well, he has a tendency to stick his head into things he just shouldn't.

[charming_jerk]

If any stories we read in school were right, Zeus shouldn't be allowed to do much of anything. [He doesn't remember a lot of myths, but Zeus is pretty notorious.]

I know for sure angels and demons aren't from Earth, it's like you said. Other realms or somethin'. Heaven 'n Hell, really. And even those break down into smaller parts, I think. At least Hell does, goin' by what Lukas had told me.
