Thread: Shin Megami Tensei: Apocrypha (Saber Arturia and Rhia)

The guest speaker certainly drew a wide amount of attention, from looks alone to the portent of her potential message. Even Akane found herself looking to the woman, her green eyes a little soft at first, chest rising and falling a little more slowly as she took stock of the woman. Akane was no slouch herself in physical looks, she enjoyed wearing the almost skintight material of her motorcycle outfit and while she was mostly clothed, the way her hips visibly flared, the fact that her stomach appeared toned, smooth, and again hugged by the material, and even her full and ample breasts showed the most skin, the zipper usually partially undone unless she was actually on her bike. She kept up appearances, the bright and vibrant colors of her suit a stark contrast to dingy and battered armor, or repurposed and worn out military uniforms. For her, it was many things. A way to be proud of her body, and a good way to show that she wasnt the usual. And well the way Rieko suddenly changed elicited a small gasp from even Akane as her eyes quickly shut, the radiance blinding for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes, infront of her was something Akane generally loathed. An Angel. Divine Emissaries of an unseen lord, yet normally slavishly devoted to him. Yet this one says she shucked off her chains, and sought to help humans. This could be a trap and something seemed off to her about the angel, yet she merely tightened her jaws and slowly felt her fingers tightening into a fist, her leather gloves crinkling from the strain. Ikebukuro was their target, then? It was generally seen as safe, and a good target if she was being truthful. Such an assault would hit one of their largest population centers, and she was certain that Angels wouldnt be kind, or seek to be merciful in avoiding collateral damage. Just the mere thought of it angered her. But... For now, she was a hunter and was expected to obey orders. With Rhaelas message ended, and the podium open again, Hidemi stepped forward, clearing his throat. We have sufficient reason to believe that she is correct. The Angels have been quiet, and such could easily mislead us into their trap if were not prepared. By days end, Ill be contacting some of our best hunters about personally defending Ikebukuro, and the rest of you should continue your duties. Roppongi is still quite infested from demons after their last incursion, Ill be sending out Bounties to the usual places for some of you to keep your skills sharp, and of course you will be rewarded upon proving the bounty is complete. For now, the conference is over. Take care, hunters. Offering a salute, Hidemi moved to leave, and immediately the hunters were abuzz with discussion. Holy shit, an angel on our side? Why? Did you see her body? Maybe angels arent so bad afterall... I got a son in Ikebukuro, if these angels attack ill give em hell. Akane meandered through the crowd, silent. Despite her skills, despite proving herself many times over... For the most part, she worked solo. And not always by choice. Still, she returned to her residence in the area, looking over her gear. First, a machete while demons were stronger than humans in general, that didnt stop skill and weaponry to help even the odds somewhat. A revolver, special rounds meant to burn and blister the target. Again, tech was certainly an advantage for humans, and with demons and angels came the reason to look into alternative ammunition. And then her cellphone which was... buzzing? Picking it up, the alert was certainly one she didnt expect. A missive to go to the higher floors, where the leaders of the association worked and kept watch on things. Hopefully this was a good sign. Grabbing her saddlebag, and her other gear she was soon off to the designated room.
