That's a touchy enough subject when you consider the sociopolitical implications. Frankly we should let it lie until we have more stability as a Clan Head/more fame so people just go with what we do/same for Gremory family/some combination thereof. The reason is not exactly simple, but relatively easy to convey.Silversun17 said:I just thought of something. we need to sit down and have a long talk with both Rias and Sona about the territory thing. we need to hash out the issue about how the Youkai don't acknowledge the devils as having any claim over the city and how the devils view this as Rias and Sona's joint stomping grounds with our clan having no right beyond what our relationship with Rias gives us.
First, you have the Devils - the forces that in the turf we're talking about, Sona and Rias represent. While each one is, as an individual, not all that impressive or commanding on a grand scale, each has direct ties to someone synonymous with nigh-absolute power in the realm of Devils - a Satan. And while one of the Satans is generally fairly competent BOTH are unreasonably obsessed with their kin residing at the school - and anything genuinely serious that might involve either of them could call such a superpower down to make a mess so much worse.
Then you have the Youkai of Japan, who do not get Devils in their modern incarnation. This whole 'live among the people and convert people into more devils' thing is clearly outside their public awareness, as they don't even think Devils are supposed to BE here. In addition to this, they have no real grasp of current Devil politics, or the fact that either Sona or Rias has the aforementioned ties to superpowers. Given the Nurahiyon no Mago propensity for Youkai to be generally traditionalist, insular, orthodox and conservative in terms of politics, it's not particularly likely they'll approach modern devils the way you... kind of have to. They still think of yon olden days methods, where people could throw around weight and Fear - and that's exactly the wrong thing to have on the plate with Satans a call away - and Levi-tan is one of them. There's even the fact that a certain Devil might get recognized as the supposed super Yuki-onna for even more hassle.
And of course there are the humans in the area, who are going to become collateral the moment there's any actual issue.
We really want to be in a point where we can either tell all the Youkai clans we talk to to sit down shut up and get with the program and expect them to listen, or reach the same point with at least one of two Satans.
So yeah, not.... presently a good idea, really.
