"Nah. I don't see it either." Descended from Demons? "Maybe a little influenced. Ancient ancestor took a bargain or was corrupted somehow, but anything demonic - TRULY demonic, has a sorta stench to it. You mentioned meeting Amon in Hell and being present when that Usmidori attacked. Can you sense energy? Folks like them have something off about 'em." Some learned to mask their presence among other mortals. In Jango's experience, most reveled in the disparity. They LIKED it when potential prey caught wind of the encroaching Demon. "Seems like the Mazoku might've turned to rituals and dark bargains out of desperation from being cut off."
They'd walked far. Not far enough to yet come upon Dend. "A new city." Jango's eye closed as the woman's thoughts jumbled together. "Well. It sadly won't be easy as inviting a bunch in and hoping that sorts it. Separation... does a lot to people. Even if they're kin. It'd be foolish to expect whole groups to mend their suddenly problematic ways in the name of purity and cooperation. Some-" Like her. "-Would even say it's impossible to ever bridge those gaps. Good on you for having the guts to try. You probably want the golden ending of achieving total peace, but lemme ask you the hard question: are you prepared to accept a world where there might always be resistance to this idea?"
Jango huffed, hands interlocking behind her head. "Hah. That's enough philosophical bullshit from me for a day, methinks. Bad for business." What a fucking coincidence that Gandigan had goals so close in breadth to hers, in a way. Unification. His were split apart by caste and bad blood, while hers were sundered by fear and distance. And the measly issue of rustling up enough money to purchase a healthy planet like Cereal that wasn't inhabited without having to take out bullshit loans or sell themselves into servitude to do.
"Three weeks is a bit of a jaunt, I'll admit. Hoped to be off here in a couple days, but this sounds like a lucrative opportunity on my end. Don't suppose there'd be any way to convince you to hasten that schedule along? Preplanning and such, yeah?"
