Do you look like that human male that did not have sexual relations with that woman!?

Girl-Demon

Do you look like you're in a weird text adventure where everyone has stupid names!?

Nessa Black

That's better, it has the added bonus of your parents' actual surname.

As was previously established, today is the day most humans would celebrate a "birthday". But this is no ordinary birthday for you, the day you turn 15 Revolutions old is your MATURING DAY. Nobody has disclosed that your MATURING DAY actually takes course over a full week, though. During your MATURING DAY, you are to undergo trials, once they are overcome you will be considered an adult in the DEMON COMMUNITY. Most Demons undergo their trials alone, this is not the case with you. You have THREE OTHER FRIENDS that will undergo their trials as well. You are currently standing in your ROOM contemplating what to do until the HOUR OF LEAVE.

Alright, here's the thing. My initial thought process was to do this in using the standard pixel art everyone is accustomed to. This backfired on me for the last image, so now everything will be done using Adobe Illustrator. I went back and changed the first image, but I failed to fix it so that she's standing near her drawers. Minor teleportation, but it probably won't happen again.

>Examine Sword

Ah yes, your KATANA. It is something you wield with honor and dignity with the skill of a master.

Which is something you would like to say if it weren't so incredibly wrong!!! As a child, each Demon is given the option as to what weapon they would like to use the most. What they aren't told is that their option is kept away from them until their MATURING DAY. Most parental units are courteous enough not to rub it in their child's face, but yours are especially douchey in this aspect. Not only is it on display, but it's encased in some sort of box you cannot penetrate no matter what. Each morning, you rise out of your RECUPERATION TUB and see it. Mocking you! Even if you could open it, you wouldn't be able to wield it for one single reason.

You lack the SWORDS CARD in your WEAPONS INDEX (which you have no idea where you keep) You have a bunch of WEAPONS CARDS in your index! KNIVES, THROWING STARS, MACES, FLAILS, STICKS, even the incredibly rare and obscure WHEELS CARD! But, you have yet to obtain the SWORDS CARD...

>Look out window. Or in mirror. Look at what's on the wall.

It's a mirror! But also a window. It's mostly a mirror but it's actually your window. You accidentally opened it when you punched the adjacent wall in rage. In fact, you could use some air right now.

This was the most amazing idea you've had all day. You tend to do just look out the window, stare at some lotuses and feel the occasional breeze when you want to calm down.

>Examine landscape

There's not much to examine since it's the same old sight you see every day. A bunch of lotus pads around, a few lotuses, a couple of TRANSPORT WHIRLPOOLS, and the same old LOTUS DWELLINGS that all look eerily similar to yours. The only thing different is the large GATE in the middle of your neighborhood, that'll open on the HOUR OF LEAVE. Hey is that your DEMON PATERNAL UNIT? Otherwise known to humans as a DAD? Wait wait, who's he with?

Squinting really hard, it reveals that it's your DEMONESS MATERNAL UNIT!!! Otherwise known to humans as your MOM!!! You know what's going to happen if she spots you, and you're not ready for what she has planned. You're never ready.

You decide to close your WINDOW-MIRROR and put it out of your mind until it happens. You wonder what you could do next.

>Look at that thing with the red buttons.

That is your RECUPERATION TUB. Each night, demons sleep in it since normal beds cannot fend off the MURDERIFIC NIGHTMARES that invade their sleep. It also has the added benefit of cleaning you so you never have to take showers. Though the SPECIAL WATER doesn't soak you, it does soak CLOTHING so you pretty much have to be naked when you're in there. That must be why your DAD made your WINDOW so INCREDIBLY THICK. There are three buttons that either dump out any DIRTY WATER, REFILL with CLEAN WATER, and HEATS UP the WATER. That uses a lot of electricity, so your DAD prefers you not use that function.

>Realise you hate lotuses. I mean seriously they're silly flowers that look like they are made of origami. You are a demon, and you should act like one, missy.

You would consider that point if it weren't for the fact you were part frog. Frogs just have a natural inclination towards lotuses. Besides, just because you're a "demon" does not necessarily mean you are one. Your ancestors wrestled that name away from those BARBARIC UNCIVILIZED BRUTES centuries ago.

>Read MSPaint Adventures on your desktop, then chat with your friends.

Ha ha, nice try bub. After booting up your ELECTRONIC COMPUTING DEVICE(your COMPUTER) you remember that the HUMAN WEBCOMIC doesn't update until the 11th. It's tough to resist the urge of checking, but you manage well. Opening up DEMON MAIL, you see that three of your FRIENDS are online. Who should you chat with first?
