Hm. I suppose, with everything else I've seen so far here, I shouldn't be terribly surprised at this - I know all the old legends after all.

Still, it's good to see them, and good to see them together and happy.

n

not actually good, I mean..!

Well, the souls of the dead are supposed to walk the earth during the festival, so like I said, not surprised. And they seem a lot happier than the last bunch of dead people I saw here

Yes, I guess seeing people who are't with us anymore is common here.

I didn't introduce myself! I'm Allen Walker. Sorry if I seemed rude before.

More common than back home, anyway.

And no need to apologize - I was a bit startled myself, the first time I spotted them, and my job has made me very difficult to surprise.

What's your job- if you don't mind me asking.

Well, formally I'm the weaponsmaster and head of the department of Administrative Research, of the ShinRa Electric Power Company - in practice, black ops, mostly. Though lately that's kind of narrowed down to intel and bodyguard work, really.

Yourself?

Oh, wow. That sounds professional.

I'm an exorcist.

Heh. Well, the title's designed to impress, even if it's a bit unwieldy for everyday use.

Exorcist? Do you work for a temple, or...?

Haa, not exactly. Where I'm from there are these things called Akuma running around, so we have to stop them from hurting people. I guess they're kind of like ghosts and demons.. it's a little difficult to explain.

Well, there's much about my world that seems strange to outsiders as well. Sounds like you have an interesting job, though.

Not really, Mr..? Sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Ah, sorry. I seem to be a bit scattered today. My name is Tseng.

Nice to meet you.

A pleasure.
