[Tsukasa as she existed in the present was a completely different entity then the young girl who had come to the garden with the weight of the world on her shoulders, since she had returned her body had come to house the essence of some of the most evil demons of all time. No longer was Tsukasa simply a teenage girl without a care in the world, for now she carried the title of "Queen of Demons" on her shoulder. Though she was able to keep her power in check for now, she was constantly worried that some fateful day she would succumb to her inner darkness and become a monster on par with those she had massacred to claim the Throne of Bel.

Tsukasa's struggle with the taint within her very soul was a never ending battle that wore on her body and mind. However the intensity of her battle varied from days to day, while sometimes she had to do little to steel her soul against the darkness on other occasions all she could do was let a bit of her demon heritage seep to the surface as a form of cathartic release. Today was one of the latter days.

Tonight, as a pallid moon rose over the garden bathing everything in a pale glow, Tsukasa could be found roaming the garden in a state of unrest, her eyes aglow in a deep crimson. Muttering an odd mantra to herself, the blue-haired maiden's state of being was far removed from her usual cheerful self. For better or worse, one of the garden's many mirrors had broadcast the entirety of Tsukasa's odd behavior to the garden at large.]

I am Bel, the Queen of Demons. Gods and demons cower before me and none dare challenge my sovereignty...

[The feed dies off as Tsukasa repeats the same phrase several times over.]

*Upon arriving in the Gardens, the usual sight is a dismayed girl in a state of shock, panic, or anger. Or all three. But Erika? Nope. She's sitting in front of the vine in an elaborate looking chair with a teacup in one hand and saucer in the other. Erika takes a sip of tea before speaking to the vine, which she had already closely examined and figured out beforehand.*

Good afternoon, everyone. You haven't had the pleasure of meeting me yet, so I decided that needed to change. I am Erika Furudo, first class detective. A pleasure, I'm sure. Since I already understand the basic premise of this game board, I only have one tiny favor to ask of you, the viewer.

Why don't you tell me about yourself?
