What is required to access the Castle Net?

[He thinks this is a perfectly sensible and legitimate question okay, shut up guys he doesn't use computers]

And the one who so chose to write at me when I first arrived, I will have you answer me again. However you opt to does not matter to me, only that you do.

If they did, what makes you think I would be so willing to tell you?

So you have found a place outside it's influence, where we would all cease to be. You must be so proud.

[ino]

Well, if you don't want me to tell you which pages have records of us calling each other cutesy pet names back and forth so you can avoid them ... [HAHAHA omg she's terribleeeeeeee but hoping that will make him flail enough to 'fess up]

I'd like to see you do better! At least we're working on a way to change that!

[azuredemonic]

[..........................] We didn't.

Why should I care about changing how this place works?

[ino]

You don't think so, huh ... [said so very casually]

Well, if we can move away from the castle, we'll be out of its grasp as far as losses and stuff go. They can be ... pretty bad. [thinks of Nelo Angelo :(] And it's a step closer to getting away from its influence in general.

[azuredemonic]

We did not and that is the end of it.

They do not seem bad. They seem inane. Nonsensical. Pathetic even. [Scoff] If it can steal away powers, warp a person to the core, and much more, what is to stop it from extending it's influence, or punishing you for such impudence?

[ino]

Okay, I guess you'll just have to read it for yourself then, since you won't believe me. [ ... contemplates adding "vergie-poo" to the end of that. ........ decides she doesn't want to die today. ]


... Oh, boy. [doesn't want to talk about nelo angelo .... but maybe she's going to have to, to make him see sense] You wouldn't be saying that if you knew what happened before.

I don't really get it but there's a zone that is beyond castle influence, no matter what it's doing. It tries to call you back, but people have left the castle and been out there for decades.

[azuredemonic]

[If this is true, he's going to find some way to kill himself in the past. And then kill her. For now, he says nothing. Only fumes]

Then enlighten me.

Did it not occur to you that you may in fact find yourself sharing the same fate? Living out there for decades, away from your own world and away from anything you once held dear?

[ino]

[ ... a bit sadly] Of course it's occurred to me. When this kind of stuff goes on, you can't help but wonder if you'll still be here ten, twenty, maybe even fifty years from now.

[ aaaaaaand ... welp. time for a filter b/c this goes beyond DUR HUR WE USED TO MAKE OUT]

[Vergil]

There was a loss, once ... you lost control and turned into ... that thing. The demon thing. And I saw -- [ ... fff, cuts off. maybe it'd be better not to tell him that part ...]

[azuredemonic]

And yet that is the option you would prefer to chase after, rather than what makes this place tick.

[Ino]

That thing?

[Is she referring to his devil form]

[ino]

Who says I can't do both? If there was information to be found within the castle it would have been found already.

[Vergil]

Dante called it "Nelo Angelo". Something to do with ... Mundus. [SO MUCH hesitation with that name; she is not sure how he's going to react, or if he even knows what that means]

1/2

[azuredemonic]

[I'm sorry, no. No no no. Fuck everything else and NO! He could care less about any of this shit because MOTHER

FUCKING

WHAT?!

He doesn't give a god damn hell about this Nelo Angelo, or this loss, or Dante or her, the only thing that matters is that name. That name.]

[azuredemonic]

[And he doesn't even remember to add the filter back]

What

...

What did you just say?

[Vergil] aksjdhas poor babby :'(

[ino]

[alskdjl oh, no 8( well ... at least he's taking it seriously now?


... oh fuck it all she shouldn't have said anything. INSTANT GUILT]

... Pretty sure you heard me.

[Ino] Of all the things to press her on

[azuredemonic]

Why!?

[ANGRY BREATHING]

Why did you say it had anything to do with...that?!

[Vergil] alskdja sob

[ino]

Because it's the truth! I saw it!

[Ino]

[azuredemonic]

You. Are. Lying.

[Vergil]

[ino]

[... okay, now she mad]

Fuck you! Why would I make that up?! I still have nightmares about that thing!

[ ... lmao, okay, that sounds pathetic now that it's actually out of her mouth but ... RAGE]

[Ino]

[azuredemonic]

[Sorry, he's too busy being in BRUTAL AMOUNTS OF DENIAL to give a damn about whatever it did to you.]

Why did you say Mundus?

[Vergil]

[ino]

Because that's the name I was told! What is that even supposed to mean?!

[Ino]

[azuredemonic]

By who!? Was it Dante!?

[Vergil]

[ino]

[can't ... remember ... LKJLSKD]

Yeah? Why does that matter?

[Ino]

[azuredemonic]

BECAUSE IT DOES!

...

Dante would not say his name lightly. Nor would anyone who knew what it meant. Now I...will ask this again...as patiently as I can manage.

Where did you hear his name?

[Vergil]

[ino]

Uh, yeah, he wasn't saying it lightly, because it was for real, Vergil! You flipped out and he had to fight you!

[Ino]

[azuredemonic]

...and he said it had to do with Mundus.

[...If you really want to feel guilty, just wait until this. Because the next thing comes out in the single most defeated tone he has ever had in his life]

Far too convenient to be mere coincidence.

[Vergil]

[ino]

[LASKJSAK DAMMIT, YOU ... YOU BASTARD, she's supposed to be mad at you 8||||| she ... pauses, before ... sympathetically:]

... Hey ...
