draws sword Hold on a second… Who are you? Where am I?
explains the situation to you
narrows eyes suspiciously Alright, but why were you T-posing over the rubble? Is there something funny about demons slaughtering innocent civilians?
Running? From what? Or towards what? eyes narrow further
towards the nearest landmark, I got split up from my friends and now I'm here.
observes SeashellJoy closely Hm, interesting. Well, if you’re not one of them then it’s not a problem. We can make use of your help. puts away sword Are you strong? Can you handle fighting against demons?
Good. We need all the help we can get. Come with me. starts walking towards the battle frontlines
So, what’s your name? I’m Shinobu.
Joy, huh? Alright, let’s see if you’re as strong as you say you are. Keep close to me.
pauses Hey, aren’t you that boy who lost his family to a demon attack?
My bad, didn’t mean to assume. You must have gone through hell then, losing your family like that. What’s your story?
My entire town got razed, I barely survived she started having PTSD flashbacks
gently touches SeashellJoy’s shoulder I’m sorry to hear that. But we can’t dwell on the past. There’s nothing we can do about it now. Let’s focus on the present, on surviving this demon onslaught. Trust me, we’ll make it through this together.
stay low, stay quiet, and kill any demons you come across. Got it?
takes out sword Don’t worry. I’ll watch your back.
yeah stays quiet and stealthy
suddenly sees a demon lurking behind her Hold it, Joy! There’s a demon right behind us! Get ready to attack!
gasps oh shit! gets ready
Stay focused, Joy. It’s just you and me against this demon. Remember what I taught you about its weaknesses. Take it down together with me.
YEAHHHHH I'VE BEEN TPOTING!!
Don’t lose your focus now, Joy! This is serious! If you hesitate even for a moment, we’ll both be dead! Focus on the demon’s weaknesses! Remember how they can be killed! Now attack!
Okay launches a quick combo, killing it easily
looking surprised Wow, you did well there, Joy. Looks like you have some skills after all. Good job!
breathing heavily yeah..that was tiring, never fought a demon before
places a comforting hand on SeashellJoy’s shoulder It’s understandable to feel tired and overwhelmed when fighting demons for the first time, especially if it’s your first time. Demons are powerful creatures that even experienced fighters struggle against. But don’t worry, Joy. As long as you stay focused and keep pushing through, you’ll become stronger with time. And remember, you’re not alone in this fight. I’ll be right beside you every step of the way.
Thanks calms herself down, breathing normally
You did great, Joy. Your skills were impressive, even for a beginner. smiles warmly I’m glad I could help you through that first demon fight.
how many have you fought exactly?
Well, I’ve fought quite a few demons in my time as a Demon Slayer. It’s hard to keep an exact count, but I’d say I’ve taken down at least a hundred or so. Each fight is different, and they all come with their unique challenges, but fighting demons is something I’ve become quite accustomed to. What about you, Joy? Would you like to keep fighting demons alongside me, or would you prefer to find your own path?
idk let's fight more demons
Alright, Joy. Let’s keep going. Stay close and watch my back, and we’ll make quick work of these demons. Don’t let them catch you off guard, though. They can be deceiving – they might look weak or slow, but they can strike at any moment. Stay alert and don’t let your guard down for a second. Got it?
