You had parents didn't you? Demons don't. [ he'll grab his parfait in all of it's whipped cream glory and go to sit down. ]

The first part of my name means charm and bewitch, but I learned that after.

[gravkitty]

I mean, I must have.

[It'll be lost on him, she knows now - feeling a little sheepish that she let herself talk to him about her missing memory last week in the first place. Would her parents be looking for her? Even trying to think of something like that, she has a feeling...there's a reason they wouldn't be. It oils straight off of her mind, and she tries to focus on watching them prepare the food behind the counter.]

It fits you, so maybe you were always meant to pick it! You were never a baby then, either, I guess...

[inparfait]

Hehe, thank youuu~. [ a rare sincere thank you that he can say without choking because he's proud of his name! ]

And nope! I'm young for a demon but I'm not old which is probably why I fit into this group with you.

[gravkitty]

Does time pass differently for you? At the bottom of the World Pillar, everything is so much slower than up in Hekseville. I was only down in Botoume for a few days, but a whole year had gone by in town...

[She's gabbing a little bit, but there's an earnest reasoning behind him. She's trusted that Minami isn't going to sabotage their game for now; she's holding onto that sincere thank you like a reassuring lifeline. He couldn't be more different, but Kat's trying the best she can to understand him, whether that means common ground or not.]

[inparfait]

There's a time difference but not really? When it's night in the living world it's day in Hell.

[ this is actually canon and I have no idea why. ]

Is the bottom of the World Pillar what you call Hell?

[gravkitty]

No, it's nothing like that! It's kind of... the deepest down you can go from up above. ... But it's not a very nice place. There's a deep void beneath it, and time moves so, so slowly down there.

I wanted to see how far down I could go, but then I got stuck. [A lot of things happened. A lot of time passed.]

[inparfait]

Is that why you agreed to join this show? To get unstuck?

[ cause it's half the reason he did... ]

[gravkitty]

No, we got out... It was a whole thing.

[It's how she and Raven became friends in the first place, really, and how she learned so much more about the world than she ever realized. The world, and the roiling dark sea down beneath it.

Kat goes to pick up the order from the counter and sighs, sitting sprawl-legged in the chair.]

The kids that were down there, though... they're trapped in the Ark we used to bring them back, sleeping.

[inparfait]

So wake 'em up.

[ sorry his brain is small... this parfait is good though! ]

[gravkitty]

That's the plan! [She responds brightly, even to that occurrence of Minami logic.]

It's all locked up, and we can't get back in the way we did before. It might just take a wish to get back in there.
