Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

Come now, I even gave you the chance to determine the size of sandwiches!

[Okay, mostly done, time to stuff like twenty mini sandwiches in his mouth. In a moment.]

Now... The next step would be challenging someone else to beat my score. Without telling them it needn't be "classic" sandwiches, of course.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

I have not come into challenge with your devious mind as of late. Next time, I will do better.

[Emet will help line up the little sandwich sticks in a neat row. You know, make them picturesque.]

Now, who can I get for such a challenge? Lily, perhaps.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

[He smiles happily and fondly at the mention of Lily, but--]

Oh, no, no, my friend. Vergil. Much easier to bait into doing anything - I just have to insinuate he couldn't beat me!

Re: 383, after kissy game

I was considering him, but I'm quite sure eating normal food brings him no joy.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

Isn't that true for any food? As I understand it, it's not unpleasant for him either, but in his words he "would be just as happy with a bag of flour as with a cake". Though he did seem puzzled when I sent him some flour!

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

That does sound like him.

But you are delaying.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

I thought this an important clarification to make!

[But yes, alright, time to commit food crimes!

I decided to diceroll this and. Dicebot says 27. 27 minisandwiches.]

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

[Goodness. He, like the somewhat reliable pal that he is, does at least tally off 27 sandwiches.

And then hands him a glass of water once he manages to swallow all that.]

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

[JUST IN TIME, Levity waves his hand urgently for the water and gulps it down hurriedly, gasping once he's done.]

Goodness, that was still quite the effort!

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

[He laughs as he brushes crumbs off him casually. And he does draw a pretty arcane pattern around the 27 tally not unlike some sort of certificate before tearing out the page and handing it to him.]

Your spoils, good sir.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

[He laughs too once he has enough air in his lungs again, and--decides to cheat, taking out another piece of metal from his pocket and Gadgeteering it with the "certificate" to make it a proper badge.]

Thank you, thank you! This will take the place of honour on my wall.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

While not particularly flashy, your abilities are quite handy.

And I hope you would cherish it. I would not do this for just anyone.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

By that, do you mean you wouldn't reward someone for tricking you in a dare to eat the most sandwiches they can, or that you wouldn't dare someone to eat the highest number of sandwiches, or both? I need to know to precisely calculate how honoured I ought to be!

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

How about I wouldn't even bother with the effort of ensuring most would be fed, dare or not.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

... You really remind me of Absinthe right now.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

I'm going to take that as a compliment.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

Well, it was said in fondness. I do love him dearly.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

And I'm sure he is still completely baffled at having those that love him.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

I think he is. He'd always seem surprised whenever I told him I care for him, or trust him... Though perhaps that's a little different for me and him than it is for him and you.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

He and I are more similar in outlook, our humor more morbid. But it did still surprise him. Though to be honest, his own manner of acceptance surprised me as well.

I'm sure you felt something similar.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

By acceptance you mean?..

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

Absinthe was the first I told of my past, and it did go better than I could have expected. I am used to more hostility, honestly. Though when one has a stake in the matter it does become more personal.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

[Hm!!!]

... But his circumstances are quite similar to ours, aren't they? Losing everything and everyone he's ever known and loved - in such a cruel manner, too. Forced to exist in a changed, alien world. Alone... for a terribly long time. It's not surprising your past struck a chord with him.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[firstworldproblem]

What happened to our star was more cruel, his personal circumstance was even more so. Even throughout the eons, I had the other two to cling to as unsteady as we were. He was betrayed by whom he loved most.

And that doesn't even begin to speak of Bahamut, a truly worthless god if there ever was one. Zodiark, great as He is, did grant our desire.

Re: 383, after kissy game

[weenwoon]

[mmmmMMMMMMMMMM doubts about Zodiark.]

... truly, I haven't much other than contempt in my heart for Bahamut. Forcing Absinthe to bring death and suffering to so many people, and condemning him for it at the same time...

[He pulls up a knee to himself, hugging it and resting his chin on it thoughtfully.]

... Perhaps it would explain why he had started to take pleasure in being cruel to others. Trying to maintain at least some control over his life and fate...
