7th Struggle [Action/Video] New Bark Town ... Again

[SUN. BRIGHT, SUNSHINEY SUN. It's so bright, it's almost as bad as getting blinded by snow. But that lasts for only a minute before the gear swings into focus on a face.

A very familiar looking face. Or maybe he wasn't familiar at all and those bright blue eyes, wild black hair, and somewhat sharp teeth were a new and unusual sight.

That person with the familiar looking face had an equally familiar looking Poochyena that had, lovingly, sunk her jaws into his skull. He's dealt with worse before, but he obviously wasn't too happy about his situation.

The Poochyena on the other hand, looked absolutely thrilled to be gnawing on her trainer once more.]

She's been doing this for fifteen minutes... [Fifteen minutes before he was just getting kicked out into New Bark and realizing that he had not dreamt up his time in Johto.]

... How do I make her stop? I can't feel much of my head anymore.

Guess if you have a pokemon like Fleshripper, you gotta have some tough skin.

[I need to know more about this canon since it sounds like so much fun!

Rin didn't mind, or even noticed, that Domri had dodged his question. The guy seemed cool just as he was. If he had secrets, that was cool. Everyone seemed to have something anyway.

Truth be told, Rin was excited about everything.]

Great t'meet ya! I'm Rin Okumura.

[Domri's wiki page. Follow the References and External Links. Though a lot of the cultural details I'm drawing from various other articles that discuss the Gruul Clans and red-green color philosophy in general that aren't linked from that page, but it'll show you the source material for Domri.]

So what do you usually do where you're from?

[SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH -- I HAVE MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT MAGIC. I HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN. I KNOW OF TIBALT. That is all. My deck is all black~. I tried red, but it just wasn't as fun as my murder deck.]

Oh, uhm. I'm an exorcist in training. [And, just in case Domri doesn't know:] I'm training so that I can help save people from demons.

[Tibalt was one of the poor Planeswalkers who didn't get much info given out about him. Domri got relatively lucky. Still wish that we were given more of him, but at least we got something. It was enough for me to fall in love with him and get a muse at least. ^_^

And murder decks are fun~

Domri can't help but be a little impressed at that, considering the demons that he would have heard of.]

You're a warrior then? [Best way to defeat demons: smashing.] You had a chance to fight many yet?

More like a knight than a warrior, but without the armor. I fought a couple? Not too many, but I know my way around them.

[And since he can sop most fights by showing them just how much more powerful he was due to his heritage, it tended to be a cake walk. Not counting, of course, all the actual important battles with demons that took so much more effort.

He was just being modest. (Also, murder decks are awesome! Though mine wouldn't be able to do much as it is now xD)]

[A knight? Slightly less awesome. Knights are for the other guilds. The closest thing the Gruul have is warriors who hitch a ride on various beasts.]

You have a mount?

[Every deck has to start somewhere, right?]

A what? [Mount like horses? Well, there was one guy Rin liked to count on.] My nekomata can make himself huge enough for me to ride on him like a horse.

[That's what Domri meant, right?]

[Sort of, because you can't be a knight without a mount, right? Just that he was picturing a horse or a giant bird or something, not a...]

Nay-koh-what?

He's a cat demon who's also my familiar. He can make himself huge!

[Totally weird, right? But super cool!]

[Domri's getting mixed messages here. The size-changing cat is actually the part he has the easiest time getting a handle on.]

You're a knight who fights demons, but you have a familiar like a wizard and you have a demon who helps you?

An exorcist can tame demons. Well, some can. And they'll do whatever the tamer says. Like... a partnership.

[But Rin's different in that regard since he doesn't need to tame what he can control through rank.]

I guess that makes sense. I can do that kind of thing too with animals. That's what I do back home; I summon the animals I've met and get them to crush anyone who tries to take over Gruul turf. I can make them stronger and faster too!

Whoa! [DUDE. WHAT. SO COOL. SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.]

Do you summon a lot of animals? Which ones are your favorite? Can you you summon dragons?

[Domri more or less matches the speed of Rin's excited talking.]

I usually don't need to summon anything. There are always strong animals nearby in the Rubblebelt. But I can summon a lot at once! I like every animal, even the ones that aren't strong, but all you can really do with them is eat them. I like wurms and ragebeasts though. They're really strong! Maaka are too. I haven't found a dragon I can summon yet - there aren't many of them and they're hard to get close to - but one day I will!

[SWEET FLIPPIN CRAB CAKES WAS THIS GUY AWESOME OR WHAT --

what -

he -- he summoned them to eat them?

Did he hear that correctly? Because it sure didn't sound very correct...]

I haven't even heard of half of those animals and they sound awesome. Do you come from a world of mountain folk or something? -- And dragons seriously exist where you're from?
