{A young man appears on the Plane, and his face is stuffed full of food. The shop was right next to this wonderful smelling food cart, after all. But, once he's stepped onto the Plane, the young man almost chokes on his mouth-full of food, and once he's caught his breath, he pauses, still tapping his chest to make sure he doesn't die from choking or something}

Ah, this is the place from that dream, isn't it? It can't actually be that though...

Unless I'm still dreaming, anyways. But this food is really tasty, so I don't think it's a dream...

{He puts some more in his mouth anyways. Delicious pasty. Until he realizes that something is missing. So he starts checking his pockets, sleeves, and anywhere else a little golem could hide.}

Tim? Timcampy, where did you go?

{He pats himself down, then realizing the golem didn't come with him, his expression falls into one of despair. Or perhaps trauma.}

Oh God, Master is going to kill me... Tim! You can't have disappeared that quickly!

((ooc: As a note, if your character has an abnormal soul or has died on the Plane, Allen will be able to see your soul, and in the latter case, will try to exorcise you. However, it won't actually do anything unless you are a "dark" creature. Then it will probably hurt a lot.))

{You bet! So when he looks over to Chris, he straightens a bit}

Excuse me, sir, but who are you?

Uh... my name is Chris. [Frowns a little at the change in the kid's demeanor.] And you are?

Allen Walker, an exorcist. What are you?

... an exorcist. [His expression can easily be summed up as, "You have got to be KIDDING me."] That's just great.

{He invocates his arm}

Answer me. Your soul doesn't look normal.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. [Takes a step back, hands up in a harmless gesture.] I'm— [He runs a hand through his hair.] Definitely not normal. Just... put that away. Okay? Can you do that?

{He does lower his arm, but he doesn't deactivate it}

Then can you please explain what you are?

[SIGH. He rubs at the bridge of his nose, then crosses his arms.]

I'm... a halfa. Uh—that's a half-ghost. ... You said my soul doesn't look normal.

Half...ghost. How is that even possible?

Magic?

...Really?

[Some very pointed glancing around the Plane.] Yep.

{Allen considers it for a moment, and his arm returns to normal. He slips his half glove back on, and nods apologetically}

I'm very sorry then, sir.

You should be. [:| Now he's in a bad mood. SORRY ALLEN. He jerks his chin in the vague direction of Allen's arm.] What was that?

Um...It's an anti-akuma weapon. It's a weapon to fight a revived soul converted into a weapon, or I guess a monster is a better word. Their souls look odd, so I mistook you for one, I'm afraid.

[Ehhhh. Makes sense, but it's still disconcerting to be mistaken for a monster.] You can see peoples' souls?

I can.

{He points to his eye with the odd scar around it. A moment ago, it was black with a series of red rings, but now it matches the other}

I was cursed by one of those akuma, so I can see their souls. Well, now normal peoples' too.

[His head lifts a bit in acknowledgment, then he looks thoughtful.]

Weird thing to curse you with, if you're able to fight them, too.

{Just smiles softly}

It was probably because I created that akuma. It was my father, not by blood, but Mana adopted me. When he died, I had no one else to turn to, so I asked the Millennium Earl to bring Mana back. So Mana became an akuma, and my Innocence activated for the first time. I created that akuma, and destroyed it, but not before he cursed me with this eye.

Your own father... [Frowns to himself.]

It's what I'm trying to prevent. Akuma are very sad creatures, so I'm trying to save the trapped souls and prevent the sadness that they cause.

[He nods.] Makes sense.

Just, uh, be careful, in the future. [Wry smile.] They might not all be akuma.

Oh, yes, and I'm very sorry! It's just something that exorcists take pretty seriously, since akuma are so dangerous.

No, I get it. Though, if you see someone else like the way you see me, about... yea high [a vague motion to around his shoulder height] go easy on him?

[Since he's pretty sure someone as hotheaded as Danny would probably end up in a fight before talking the situation down, were the other halfa to ever show up on the Plane.]

I'll make sure to remember it. But it shouldn't be a problem anyways, now that I know. It doesn't...exactly look like an akuma's soul, and now that I know you aren't, well, I don't have to worry about it.
