Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

[Tosses a pillow at him with bad accuracy to knock him back down. You sill man, he's got this.

...

...

Except he's standing trying to determine how to transport the water. He can't exactly hold it.]

[unskippablecutscene]

[The pillow lands by his but he wobbles anyway just because on no, incoming, what is balance can you eat it]

........

....Help me up. We will go. Together.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

[Returning to the bed and giving him a scrutinizing look.

Nah. Water really was too much trouble.

He just flops back against him.]

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

Ngh.

[Man down. He huffs and lifts a hand to run through Emet's hair, a little roughly from his lack of coordination.]

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

[Doesn't seem to mind and he buries his face into his shoulder to minimize the light he has to deal with. The rest just comes out muffled.]

And now?

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

Now....?

[He doesn't stop petting him, brain chugging along as best it can.]

Oh. The fool shard?

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

MmmmHmmmm.

[Squints.]

Something is wrong with Vergil.

[Besides being half demon.]

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

[He makes a eh kind of gesture. What does he care about cats!

Vergil is important though.]

What?

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

He drank to my never.

Though I suppose he can teleport. I don't know what's wrong with the other one.

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

Oh. That. He--something about refusing his brother's hand, going to hell. He's a fool.

Lots of fools.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

....

....


Did he not want to go to hell?

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

As far as I can gather... no.

You know that... That thing mortals do? Where they are hurt and alone and scared and find it easier to pretend they are above it, rather than be vulnerable enough to accept love?

That. That thing.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

I am well aware. I've incited it.

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

Oh yes. You're very good at it.

It's that thing.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

Why hell?

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

Not entirely sure. He got stuck there as a child. Escaped, somehow, and then--what was that word?

Yeet. Yes. Yeeted. Yeeted himself back into hell for some reason or other, after rejecting his brother's hand and who knows what else.

That was when he was rather younger.

And then. Then! The idiot gets obsessed and splits his soul in two because emotions are a weakness.

[He starts to sit up.]

I'm going to throw him off the roof.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

[Simply applying weight to him. Though he has really only one take away.]

You do care.

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

[He cannot move? That is unfair? Emet-Selch is a cheater. He makes an annoyed noise and gives up on sitting up.]

I did not say that.

[Which is just reflexive honestly.]

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

Admit it~☆.

[He did learn something new at another table today.]

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

...

[Just going to stare at him unblinking for like five seconds.]

What was that.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

[Tapping his nose.]

Don't be distracted.

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

....Teach me it.

Anyway. Yes. I care.

I have terrible taste.

Did I always have terrible taste Emet-Selch? I recall having better taste once.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

In a moment.

[He pets his hair.]

Vergil is not bad taste, you sentimental old fool.

[And then he laughs.]

You didn't last long at all. Congratulations.

Re: Day 253 night

[unskippablecutscene]

Hm. Caring--is one thing.

[Like it's not a big achievement on its own. He's frowning, lifting his hands and starting to braid Eemt-Selch's bangs.]

It is still a struggle to see most of these mortals as real. Even the ones I like. I think Five and Vergil do approach it....

I am trying since you insist so. But I find it difficult to not be somewhat reserved even now.

Re: Day 253 night

[firstworldproblem]

[Pulling his head back. Lahabrea and his tiny braids.]

Five has already agreed to continue Rejoining should we falter.

I'm sure Vergil would agree, too.

So why do you hesitate?
