Two sides, no coin in sight (INVITE)

"Mm? Oh that was jus- AAAH SKELETON-" Phakk starts at the voice, moving to turn around and still her beating heart... until a skeletal hand and a halberd come into view, and the girl rocks back, tripping over her own feet and bumping her head against the ground.  "Owwwww..." She whines, clutching at a new bump on her head as she curled up a little. Blinking back tears and sniffling, she moved to sit up, cringing somewhat at the sight of the stranger. They really were scary... "U-um, yes. That was- I mean-" She tries to get out, tongue suddenly feeling rather heavy in her mouth as she looked at the cloaked figure. "W-well. That was me." She stood up, dusting off her dress for the second time. "I... My magic can be kind of scary looking. Sorry if I- if I startled you. I'm not sure why it was like that, and I've neve been here before so I wasn't sure what I was doing, so  I just... followed my instincts, I guess?" 

She gives a small shrug, peering at him closer. Now that she got a better look, they weren't that scary. Like a Dark Knight from her games! Or a Reaper. Those were always troubling boss fights. "Um... I-i'm Phakk! It's nice to meet you, miss... mister... um... Yeaaahh..." Originally sticking her hand out for a hand shake, then remembering the lack of skin on this newcomer's own and feeling rude, she then retracts her arm and looks down to the ground, scuffing it awkwardly. 

"O-oh! Um... It's nice to meet you, Meister!" This time the hand would be taken as Phakk reached forward to shake his own. As it did so, he would see something... odd about the soul he viewed. A tendril of that deepest black, reaching forward and towards him almost as if with a purpose, stretching itself thin against the light. It writhed and wiggled, nearly reaching the border, before evaporating within the light as it clamped down stronger. "And yes, i'm alright, I just... I've not met anyone that loomed like you before, as rude as that is of me! But I know a demon, and he's super nice, so... sorry." She looks to the ground, embarrassed, before moving her hand with his in a dainty and weak fashion. 

Releasing the bony fingers, and looking at the hand that did so, she then gives hi a sile. "You know, the more I look, the cooler you are! You look just like a reaper from one of my games! Except instead of a... halberd, right? Instead of that, they usually have a scythe." She wasn't sure what he meant by being quiet, but it didn't seem directed at her, oddly enough. She did that sometimes, too. Tell herself to shut up. Maybe he was as awkward and nervous as she was? "What does being the demon of 'sinners' mean? Are you like... their champion?" She tilts her head at him, every passing second letting the Shinjin feel more comfortable with his presence. After the initial shock... she could get used to him!

"Oh! Yes. His name is Viru!" Phakk shares the information freely, as despite Viru's belief in Darastras' ideologies, he was still nice. Just a little... misguided. And plus, a lot of the mortals did suck. Not to the point of death, but...well. She owed them. "He took me in, and is teaching me things!" Her smile was particularly radiant as she talked about her new surrogate family, but it quickly turned to him as Meister began to respond, mentioning that he did have a scythe.... just not in his current form. "Form?" She asks, tilting her head. She had seen transformations, off course, but it was still... odd to her. The idea of shapeshifting a little and suddenly being so much stronger. She definitely couldn't do it... But that didn't mean she couldn't learn! The shinjin refused to be a weight for her friends!

"Ohh, so you're a lot like a Judge? That's like Viru too! He and Father aren't a fan of bad mortals either." The fact that he and Darastras viewed nearly all mortals as 'bad' (to put it kindly) wasn't something that needed to be included. Phakk was well aware that what her family aimed to do wasn't necessarily a good thing, but they did have a point. And she could definitely help more by trying to keep it a little reigned in!  While she was having this little mental sojourn, however, it seemed that Meister had been doing his own thing. A cloud of darkness came forward, shrouding his form, before four others replaced his form. They were definitely weaker than he was, and so perfectly divided in might she was almost certain that he hadn't disappeared so much as divided, but still... "Cool..." She murmurs, barely able to handle her excitement. Eyes wide, she quickly closed the distance between her and the four of them, arms reaching out to try and touch them before she realised what she was doing. "You all look so- so- SO COOL!" She cries, bouncing on her heels. 

"You- you look so regal  and prettty! Like a tribe shaman! Aaahh!" She jumps and bounces in front of Muerte, hands clenching as she brings them up to her chest, smile widening amidst her little nerd out. "A-and you look so dangerous! Like a- a knight of Darkness from Zorlda!" She moved over to the armoured man, before following the hand around his mouth to the jack 'o' lantern'd man. "A-a-and you're so cool! Can you- can you make the flames in your eyes brighter? OH YOU NEED A MOTORBIKE-" Nyoom, off to the one called Ekobyo. "A-and you look like one of those- those doctors! I love your mask! Ca- what material do you use? I've been looking for good sources for my own costume!"

...She may be having something of a moment. A lot of awesome figures just appeared.

"Oh! That's SUCH a good idea!" Phakk rifles around in the pockets in her dress  (the reason why it was her favourite) and pulls out a bright purple and oddly glittery notepad and pen. Chewing her lip a little, she flips it open a page noted as 'IDEAS <3', and starts writing down to include a sort of metal reinforcement so that she doesn't get hurt. It would also help with maintaining the overall structure! The shinjin was so absorbed i her writing and gushing over each of their outfits that she didn't much note the comments from the others, but did make sure to give them all a big smile each time they spoke. Just in case! "Marune?" She questions. it sounded like a name, and they hadn't introduced themselves as that name. Was there another of them that wasn't here? Ohhhh she hoped they were just as awesome!

But, off course, they had their own questions. Turning back to Ekibyo, Phakk nods. "Sure, Ekibyo! Ummm... He's my papa! He has a glowing ki arm because some meanie took his, and he's of course a demon like you.  He and Father work together in their work, and together with my sister Bobbi we sort of just... travel around!" Phakk does her bets to explain. "We're adopted, of course. Viru's a demon, Darastras is a shinjin like me apparently, and Bobbi is a majinn! Apparently our mission is to go around and make sure that the bad mortals don't get to hurt any of the good ones, but..." Phakk trails off, frowning. "Uh... nevermind. Anyway! I'd love to learn more about you five, if you'd let me? I've never met anyone like you!" She wasn't quite sure how they would react to the methods of judgement used by the other three. ...Phakk wasn't sure what to think of it either. She liked them, and was grateful of course, but... sometimes it rubbed her the wrong way.

"A-awww! She sound super awesome!" Phakk clasps her hands together, sighing happily at the thought of these four having a daughter. They all seemed so proud of her! She bet that this Marune girl was just as good at fashion as her parents were! She was so distracted thinking about potentially meeting this girl that she initially missed their foments, but managed to tune back in as they introduced themselves. "War, Death, Famine and Pestilence? Oh! That's even cooler!" She jumps and claps her hands quickly with happiness. "You guys are like the- the bad guys in some of my games!! Oh, this is a dream come true!" She was so excited that a small shiver seemed to run through her body, and if any of the demons were particularly perceptive they may see a small... ripple in her hair. As if it was turning itself, a small spasm running through its form. 

At the pumpkin headed man's protest, Phakk blinks and looks at him. "W-what's wrong, Jihuang? Is... is everything alright? Oh, no, i'm not offending you am I? I-i-" She quickly moves into a bow before him, face straight down ad eyes scrunched up, "I'm sorry! I didn't- I just got excited. I didn't mean to be rude o-or offend you!" Phakk knew she wasn't good with people, and frankly staring down four of them was nerve wracking, but she so desperately wanted to be their friend. They all looked super cool, and seemed very nice! Well, in their own ways. When that was all done, she would peek from between the strands of her purple hair. "S-so Meister is made up  of all four of you?"

"Twelve seconds?! That's amazing!" Phakk blinks,  clapping and jumping at the thought of it. How could someone eat that fast? She couldn't do it without using her magic, for sure, and even then! Of course, she quickly apologised to Jihuang again, not having wanted to offend him. "I'm sorry, it was meant to be a complement! I always thought they were the coolest ones." She tries to explain, to soften an accidental blow she hadn't bene intending on making. "And, um... don't worry. This is different to me, too. It's been a log, long time since I've  talked with so many people. I talked  with my first person only a few days ago!" A smile, to show that Jihuang wasn't alone, and that this was new territory for all of them! They could be friends over that, right? 

As Ekibyo and Guerre continued to... squabble? Argue? Phakk turned to listen to Muetre's explanation, nodding her head. "Oooh... I guess that makes sense. I can't imagine what it would be like, to have more than just one voice in my head. Meister must be really strong! Oh- um, no offence. I didn't mean to say you were like... Sorry." Wow. Words just weren't her friend, were they? She just met these people, and was already insulting them? It made the girl want to just sink into a hole and stay there... Oh wait. She'd already done that, apparently. And going back wasn't something that the Shinjin felt she wanted to do... Oh no... "U-um. Anyway. It's nice to meet all of you!" She goes for a smile, for the life of her looking almost pathetically awkward.
