[The brown haired girl who's in view right now can't possibly be more than seventeen or so, with a uniform that definitely looks out of place compared to her surroundings. Before she says anything, she moves a finger to her hair and curls a lock of it thoughtfully.

Eventually, she speaks.]

So uh, Hey.

[Places her hand back down, huffing.]

I gotta be honest, I don't really have anything cool or interesting to say but...I felt like I really ought to introduce myself, especially seeing people I saw at that big feast doing the same.

So...I'm Hikaru. I was in Tokyo before I came here, I'm big into occult stuff and I like talking to people. Yeah, three things sounds good, doesn't it?

If you've got time to kill, you should say hi. I think in a situation like this it's good to know people, and I'm more than willing to talk a few ears off.

[She almost ends it there, before deciding to add on one last thing.]

Oh, uh, one thing now that I think about it...there aren't any Angels here, are there? I know that's really specific, but I've had a few bad experiences with them before I got here, so I'd rather know so I can keep my distance. No offense or anything if you are one; blame the ones launching ICBMs in the name of God or whoever. They're giving you a bad rep.

[Sure did say that super casually.]

Guess that's it. So, by-or, uh. Should I be more formal to fit in? "Good evening" I guess.

That's fine too...for everyone to have the freedom to make choices like that, it's all I want.

[Although how much work that'd take on her part varies from world to world, of course.]

That's a rare attitude to have, you know. Your interest in the freedom to choose. You don't even mind my choices.

[ her desire to die, she means. a lot of people have problems with that.

it's kind of refreshing. ]

Well, it's your life, you know? Noone else should have any control over what you do with it.

Freedom's just something people take for granted; you have to lack it to really appreciate it.

[Plus she's very "yeah bye" towards the dead. They stop mattering once they're gone.]

[ hikaru, shijima rather thinks you are okay. ]

Have you lacked freedom before?

[Well, the devil is a smooth talker.]

I had a very...controlling family. Especially my Dad.

[ so smooth ]

Had. So you don't, any longer. And it makes you want freedom for others. How admirable.

Something like that. My Dad eventually kicked me out of the family for being such a pain in the butt, but it was better in the long run, for what I've been saying this whole time. I preferred living away from Him and my brother.

So if you had to choose, you'd choose to have the same thing happen over again? If you could pick between being cast away and not being cast away.

Yeah; I have no regrets.

I see. What will you choose to do here, Hikaru?

[ shijima is going to watch. whatever it is. you're fascinating. ]

Oh, that's easy! I want Seelie done away with.

Unlike most people I have no problem picking sides, and I'm content with the court I was put in. I want to do my very best for them.

[Said so very cheerfully.]

[ Shijima doesn't look particularly bothered by this revelation. It's not like she has a hat in the ring, since she's still saying she's an observer - but hey, so far she's liked the people in her own court more than the people in the other one, so it works out. Somehow. ]

You're the first I've heard say that. I'll be looking forward to your actions from now on.

So you're staying on the sidelines, huh?

I'm an observer. That's what I do.

[ but if say she saw someone from seelie trying to do something to someone she's decided she liked, she would probably throw her hat into that particular isolated ring.

or if she decides she's bored.

it really depends on her mood, and she will keep on saying she's an uninvolved third party the entire time even if she does get involved someday. ]

[protect her, friend

Mostly because despite her enthusiasm, and phenomenal (although nerfed as hell here) cosmic powers, Lucifer really does prefer diplomatic approaches whenever possible. Avoiding fights would be good.]

And nothing could change your mind?

Getting attached to this world is the last thing I want to do.

[ it would make it harder to die you see... ]

I guess I meant something more along the lines of incentive. There's something you want, right?

[another thing the devil does: attempt to make deals with people for personal gain]

You know there is.

[ The only thing she can be roused to act for: her death.

...But that's not entirely true. Shijima cares about certain people more than she lets on, and she is more attached than she would care to admit. Those people aren't here, however. ]

Then if you'll help out here, I'll help you out in return at the end. I'll give you what you want.

And why should I believe you can give me such a thing?

[ Amused. Wary. She knows Hikaru isn't human, but that's hardly telling. ]

Oh, I'm not asking you to decide right away. We hardly know each other after all.

[All smiles still, she leans a little to the side, chin resting in her hand.]

Just think about it. Offer's always on the table.

Then if I ever come to believe you can hold up that particular bargain, perhaps I'll consider it.

[ she'd do more than "consider" it if she thought Hikaru could actually offer her death. her and kouichi. ]
