I don't even know if this thing is working the way I think it does, but if this is getting through to whoever kidnapped me and brought me here... you clearly have no idea who I am, who you're dealing with and precisely whose wrath you have just provoked, so I'd better enlighten you. You have just provoked not one, but five of the biggest corporations in the country. I've acquaintances who could crush you with their little finger so whatever game you're playing? You'd be best off releasing me and ending it now before you get hurt. No matter what you do, you're only gonna end up being hunted down and taken care of. And when I say 'taken care of', I meant in the worst possible way.

No amount of money is worth losing your faculties, believe me.

Comments

[demontobeloved]

Not too many. At least, that I've come across.

[individuates]

...tell me the names?

[demontobeloved]

Lessee...

[Follows comes a list of written names in correct Japanese order, or as close as he can manage.]

Edogawa Conan
Haibara Ai
Suoh Tamaki
Asano Rin
Nogami Ryotarou
Fujioka Haruhi
Adachi Tohru
Kadoya Tsukasa
Yamanaka Ino.

I'm certain there's a few I've missed.

[individuates]

[whatwhatwhat?!]

I know them! Tamaki-senpai and Haruhi, I know them!!! Where are they?

[demontobeloved]

You can write out a filter to them, if you like. Tamaki and Haruhi have been here a while.

Tamaki has even set up a Host Club in the castle, one you'll find that I'm a junior host in.

[individuates]

That-

[oh god, Tamaki. Dragging more people into the host club?]

...I'm so sorry.

[demontobeloved]

Apology accepted, but unneccessary. Apart from some poor fashion choices, and being talked down to by someone less than a quarter my age, I've rather enjoyed it.

[individuates]

Well, I can't do much about Tono but... I might be able to fix the fashion choices.

[demontobeloved]

I can put up with it. I've had to deal with mortals before.

[individuates]

Rest assured, Tono's not one of us. Not a normal human, anyway. You might have noticed, but he's special

[demontobeloved]

Is there even a word for how special he is?

[individuates]

Finally, there's someone of the same opinion as the rest of us!

[demontobeloved]

There are people who think he's sane?

[individuates]

Girls mostly. And Kyouya-senpai seems to just go along with him because it's interesting. But the rest of us are in the same camp, I think.

[demontobeloved]

There seems to be an awful lot of "go along with it" attitude here.

[individuates]

Well if it's like I hear, maybe going along with it is best.

[demontobeloved]

It certainly saves a lot of GBH of the ear, I will say.

[individuates]

Yeah, but it's fun to prod him sometimes and see how he'll react.

[demontobeloved]

I'll keep that in mind.

[individuates]

Do! As long as you're sure to keep earplugs on hand, it'll be all right.

[demontobeloved]

I'm sure I'll be able to conjour them up if necessary.

[individuates]

Just don't tease him too many times without. He can be a bit like a fog horn.

[demontobeloved]

You mean he isn't like that already?

[individuates]

I don't know if you've seen him at his worst, but... I'm pretty sure what you've experienced so far is just his base level. He gets louder from there.

[demontobeloved]

Louder? Was his dad an airhorn?

...Still, his reaction to when I told him what I was was priceless
