Nice. I'm 161cm, blood type O, Capricorn.

It's a group for people with kinda similar occupations. You are an Exorcist, right?

[paperpusher]

Ugh

If this is as full of politics and infighting as the exorcist assemblies at home I'm leaving this chat

[whiteshroud]

Haha, so far there's been less infighting and more just bad use of memes.

Which I admit, might be worse. Sorry about that.

[paperpusher]

I don't know what that is.

[whiteshroud]

[ He just links a video ]

Stuff from the internet.

[paperpusher]

I see!

[He doesn't. He watched about half of it before redoubling his efforts to figure out how to leave a group chat.]

Well, that certainly is different from the meetings back home, at least.

[whiteshroud]

Yes. A few of our members are a little unorthodox in their decorum.

[Jun says like he didn't just link a meme himself.]

Listen, I'm sure you're used to working by yourself or with a trusted team. Most of us are. But if we want a chance to survive long enough to get home, we need to work together.

[paperpusher]

Don't worry, I'm not that stubborn. I don't know how well our abilities may work together, but it's certainly worth a try.

I suppose I should list my qualifications? I specialize in manipulating paper, particularly paper seals and protection wards. Most of my jobs involve sealing or exorcising spirits that are haunting a particular location or possessing/cursing a person. I can also make contracts with spirits, but I doubt that will be as relevant here.

[whiteshroud]

I thought you'd see it that way. And your skills sound potentially more useful than mine for this situation.

[He's not bitter about that, just plainly stating a fact]

I'm a Seal Knight. We specialize in combat with a malevolent spirit called Greed...or demons as some would call them. I can also create seals from holy magic.

Also, since the others gave their name...I'm Kohinata Jun. Sorry I couldn't be more forthcoming earlier.

[paperpusher]

Haha. I said it before, didn't I? People who can see things that others can't end up navigating life a little differently.

[aka: it's chill, man, he gets it.]

[whiteshroud]

Mm, it's as you say. I think everyone in this chat has their secrets.

[Especially that guy who is CLAIMING TO BE A NORMIE UP THERE HE SEES YOU ABEL]

Honestly, I'm a little happy to have someone else in the chat who isn't a full time priest.

[robopriest]

I don't have any secrets, you just have to ask the right questions ;)

And is that a dig against us, Jun? I'm hurt :(

[whiteshroud]

That's true, you're surprisingly open about yourself.

No, it's just you guys don't have to deal with the double-life stuff so much. It's nice to have someone who can relate.

[paperpusher]

That's right! Jun-chan and I brave the uncertainty of balancing our normal, everyday lives with our involvement in the magical world. We see the same landscape!

[robopriest]

[...............chan?]

I guess so! How old are you, by the way? Jun's age?

[paperpusher]

I'll be 24 on November 12. I'll accept well-wishes in lieu of presents

[...he also thinks Jun's a girl.]

[whiteshroud]

[Meanwhile Jun has no idea if this guy thinks he's a girl or is just...like this. Whatever. He don't care enough to bring it up.]

Noted.

[Hope you were serious about Jun will follow that sincerely]

[paperpusher]

[He actually was, for once. Too bad about the rest of him.]

Jun-chan, when's your birthday? You said you were a Capricorn, so in the winter?

[whiteshroud]

That's right. It's December 24th.

[paperpusher]

Oh, near Christmas! That must be exciting.

[He guesses???? He's the only one in holy chat who doesn't care, so.]

[whiteshroud]

I suppose? I'm usually too busy around then with church duties to give it much thought.

[IE: He has never celebrated his birthday in his entire life]
