"Welcome." The man stood on a wooden podium, looking down at the few beings. He wore a trench coat with a bowler, his pinstriped hat covering his eyes. He looked just about as calm as one could get, hands to his side and feet forward with impressive posture. "You have all been brought here, voluntary or involuntary, though either way it would be the best for you. It has come to my attention that all have simply been embracing their inner demon, flooded with wealth, greed, and warfare... I look in all of your eyes and it makes me see that all of us are drifting endlessly, blinding a world of make believe. All sing their songs off key, yet not like they would agree with any of this, combining the absolute need to be discreet..."
He went silent a little bit after this as if he were to be collecting his thoughts. "I am here to test the things illusion and dream, what the world has been building up. Recently I've been locked behind my own walls, not really having my hands in matters... well really, I hardly care at all, all of this fails to concern me, but there's just one thing that drives me out of my mind, though I doubt any of you could possibly know so I shall explain.."
"These days it's whatever makes you see makes you believe, and of course you could forget about the premonition you need to conceive, these images they sell like illusion and dream, in other words dishonesty.." He seemed to be swelling with anger, his hands clenching and neck twisting slightly, "Though if you believe I'm speaking ill please, humor me, so I won't rant on endlessly, I just thought I'd try to make you see.." After this it seemed none wanted to interrupt him so he continued, "Many people throughout time has thought that the best way to fix something is to dress it in a pretty gown, though whatever problem that maybe it would still drown, but there are other things that drive me well.. out of my mind." With a slight pause the man continued, "So can you name that demon? Understand it's scheming? If so I raise my glass and say.. here's to you. Let's see if you can really do exactly.. well, that."
With a flick of his hand the man addressed to the first person standing in front of the podium, his eyes showing and a mad glare in his eye, "Please, may I ask what your demon is? Why you may have think I brought you here?"
(I'll allow just about maybe four or five people.. Introduction should include appearance, twink of personality, thought reason, etc., etc.
I don't expect for you to know what's going on but one pointer is that this is taking place in modern times.) |

"Well? I'm waiting."
"Sir, w-w-we need 50% of the 99% a-and the support o-of at least 1% of the 1% if you're gonna have 42% of the 100% to get 50%." |

"Sir." A man said while rising, his eyes shining and vibrant. "How can I explain a demon? And it will be to weird if I say what it is..."
(Before we start, is this based from a book or something? Because I'm afraid I won't know to much about it...) |

(It's based off Poets of the Fall's song Illusion & Dream. Don't have to know anything but listening to it but that would be nice.)
"Heh.. that's the beauty of arrogance. Yours is staring at you right in the face but you either don't see it clearly or not at all."
(Short appearance would be nice.)

The man was average male height with the gray sweater, and normal blue jeans and black shoes. His hair was black as the night and his eyes were deeply axel, making it look hypnotic.
"Well,, it looks like a woman and its just.... Staring at me... It has nice heels though...." The man says, sitting down again. "I don't know what she is wearing.... To dark...." |

| "Speak for yourself." I call out to the man at the podium, crossing my white-coated arms and tapping my foot impatiently. Currently I am wearing brown pants, a red tie, and a formal undershirt under my scientist's coat. I look down a bit and my rectangular glasses slightly slide off my nose and I see that I still have the chemical stain from Thursday on the bottom of my coat, and my ID card is still hanging from it's lanyard on my neck. |

| "We'll, why don't you speak then?" I said, getting down from the podium. "Maybe I'll just stare at my hot demon.... Fetish..... Thing.....I'll let you talk now.." I said, sitting in my chair. |

The spotlight flickered for to the scientist, "Ah.. a man of explanation but your mist is one of the thickest of them all. Within time you will swarm through it.. or not." If you could see him he would obviously be grinning.
"Your inner demon appealing to you in a more.. romantic way? Heh. Lust can be strong."

| I sat quietly in the back of the room, looking at the man, blankly. I soaked in his every word. My head was spinning.. why was I here? What was I doing? Who is he? I pulled my long brown hair over my shoulder, letting it fall down. I smoothed my dress out, and continued to let the man control my thoughts. |

The spotlight went both on the women in the back and the man, "Clueless, I see? Something to expect... is there any others in here or is this the entire lot?"
(Pretty much near one of the last moments to join. Going to go in a second so if you could try to keep this up to see if anyone else wants to tag along.)

| "Sure....Lust...I guess that's what my demon is..." I said nervously. This guy is scaring me.... Also the fact that the female demon was staring at me.... |

(You can socialize and stuff while waiting. Gotta run.)

(( Oh bah. ))
A woman sat in the furthest back corner she could, trying to blend in with the environment of the room. Her green eyes darting quickly around the room, trying to see if anything here was out of order, or if there was a way to run. Not finding anything to close to notice, she quickly sweeped her jet black hair away from her eyes, and stood up. Her long black dress flowing and shimmering as she stood. "Excuse me." She said to the man in the front, "But I don't think I have one of these 'Demons.'" With stress on the word demon, she quickly sat back down in her seat, seeing what his response would be.
(( I gotta hop off too. )) |

A very nervous young lady, perhaps in her twenties, the golden age, squeaked when the man mentioned the word 'Demons'. She really, really, *really* didn't want to be here. Her friends (some really nice but teasing roommates) had forced her to come there, and boy, were they going to get it when she got back.
Or she had hoped they were going to get it. She barely has any muscles at all, and she knows it, and she's that of a short stature and an apple shaped body. Not the really 'beautiful' kind of person, but average, you can say. She hid her brown eyes under her sideswept bangs, and took a deep breath in to calm her nerves. She put her short dark brown hair into a pony tail with a scrunchie, and looked around. She was dressed in plain white long sleeved blouse, skinny jeans, and red converse, the woman though she was dressed a bit tad casual for the occasion, as the other ladies in the room wore fancy dresses and the like.
The woman thought she should've been like the other woman in the room, confident. (Or so she thought that the woman was confident...?) So, the lady decided to speak up.
"U-um... Are these d-d-demons associated with the s-seven deadly s-sins?" She managed to ask a question, and stood up with her legs trembling. "A-a-and e-everyone h-have these d-d-demons... r-right?"
[ wow i hope i did this right. ] |

I refused to say more to the man on the podium, this was ridiculous. He is an even worse judge of character than a speaker and frankly this whole thing is rubbing me the wrong way. "Let me guess, typical fanatic who thinks he is right and he's going to make us go through horrible things to make us 'see', am I right?" I say with a snort. "I'd try to threaten you with police intervention but it's blindingly obvious they won't be able to help, and you probably don't even care the slightest." |

((let me redo that))
This is ridiculous! He is an even worse judge of character than a speaker and frankly this whole thing is screaming crazy loon that thinks he's always right, not to mention there are probably around fifty horror movies about this. "Let me guess, typical fanatic who thinks he is right and he's going to make us go through horrible things to make us 'see', am I right?" I say with a snort. "I'd try to threaten you with police intervention but it's blindingly obvious they won't be able to help, and you probably don't even care the slightest." |

I looked back to the man. "If you think he is lying, how come he knows what we are already seeing? And why go through horrible things to see it?" I questioned. My demon looked at him, then back at me.

| "Well excuse me, I don't know what *you* are seeing but all I see is a room full of people being held against their will with some wackjob at the head of it." I say with a scowl. |

| "Then you don't see your demon." I said, my demon nodding in agreement. I sighed. |

| "Then ask me, why are we here, and how does he know?" I said. The demon put her hand to her mouth |
