[versifications]

You know the drill! Comment with a starter/prompt, or leave a blank toplevel and I'll come up with one. I'll be avoiding spoilers by default, but if you don't mind being spoiled let me know.

[ We have here a doctor who can summon demons to help her fight through her cellphone and who has no qualms with helping absolutely anyone who needs it. But please help me with the starter because I know nothing yet. ]

Hoping this works!

[ Kyrie heard the knock at the front door and made her way quickly to it, wiping her hands off on a towel she grabbed along the way. She was in the middle of making lunch when she heard the knock. Peeping through the window she noticed a familiar face. This was Nero's companion... V right? She remembered seeing him when Nero got really hurt, but Nero wasn't here right now...

Well she couldn't in good conscious just leave him out in the cold. It was rather chilly out today and the people in this town weren't always the most friendly to strangers, so she tugged open the door and greeted V with a warm smile. ]

V... right? Would you like to come in?

"I will not cease from mental fight; nor shall sword sleep in my hand."

[Thus is V's declaration as he faces down a near ceaseless number of enemies. It was true that Redgrave City was overrun, but even by the city's standards since the Qliphoth appeared, this is something else. Too much, in fact.

Shadow is trying to hold off a swarm of them from descending on them in a destroyed city square, transforming his body into spikes and blades that repel anything that isn't V, who stays back behind the big cat. Griffon's waves of electricity burn through the weaker enemies, but the more resistant demons only get closer by the second.]

Nice poem, V, but we need to think about gettin' outta here! [Between attacks, that's Griffon's advice from where he flies around him. V is leaning on his cane with effort, but he shakes his head.]

If we turn tail here, we'll be overrun before we can flee. We need to make a stand -- or wait for a miracle.

[V was not a particular believer of miracles. But if ever he needed one to happen, it was now.]

[Continued from here.]

[Griffon just tilts his head to return Shigure's look, but of course, being a bird, his expression is unreadable. V merely continues to look amused.]

Indeed. I'd rather spend it with you. How is your work coming along?

[These books were special. Daria tended to avoid those big commercial bookstores. For a few big reasons: overpriced, too commercialized with tacky knick knacks, sold overpriced coffee, and didn't have books with character.

So Daria, as much as she loved avoiding the public to begin with, found herself in an old bookstore alone. Away from the world and into hers. She could practically smell the ink off the books. This was perfect, heaven if it really existed.

She held a copy of the first part of Divine Comedy. She read this a million times, but she loved how the brittle pages felt on her little thin fingers.

She got practically lost as she picked it up, and opened it again.]
