004 - Dictated

[azuredemonic]

I am going to BURN this miserable, damned castle to the ground, as many times as it takes before it remains little more than smoldering ruins and ashes! As many times as it takes!

[...Someone just confirmed their loss]

[heal_theworld]

There's a reason I'm trapped in the lobby. I also can't draw my wings in. [Yes, Vergil, she was wings.]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

...[Blink blink]

Did you still want lobster, or was there some other dish you prefer?

[Because he'd really rather like to see what this is about, and could use the distraction right now.

again.

god damn this place]

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

I thought you couldn't kill them. And anything is fine, as long as it's not alive. [There are places where she'll draw the line in what she eats.]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

I'll ask from them deceased. Certainly the castle can grant me that much. Or I may not wait to make good on my threat.

If you're certain then...

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

You can't burn down the Castle now, I'm trapped in the lobby.

And yes, I'm sure. I'm not very picky.

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

So it would seem. Fine, I will count the days until you are free, and then I will.

Very well then. I will see you shortly.

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

I'll be waiting for you. [She doesn't expect it will take very long.]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

[Not too long at least. Good lobster appears to need a little bit of time. But sure enough, there he is. Holding the dish in one hand, and processing the sight before him in silence]

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

Hello Vergil. Thank you for the food! [She's happy you did come and give her food.]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

[Well he did say he would. He keeps his word. But he's kind of surprised by the whole thing. He hands her her dish first however]

Does this have some measure of explanation, or is it as random as my own was?

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

The wings are mine, if you're wondering. I had them before this. I can usually make them disappear. Only not now. [She's setting the dish down for a moment, with all the rest of her saved food.]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

[Blink. Blink blink] This is normal for half elves?

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

No, actually. I'm also an angel. It's from equipping a special crystal.

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

...an angel.

[He...is really not sure about what he wants to do right now, but laughing seems pretty high on the docket]

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

Yes, an angel. That's what they call it. ...Why? [Vergil, you can see the wings.]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

[He doesn't at the end, instead paying attention to her wings, perhaps even reaching out to poke one]

Surely the humor is not lost on you?

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

[It flicks away from him. Those are sensitive. And she really doesn't understand the joke.] Actually, yes.

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

[Hmm. Probably best not to poke] I thought I had spoken on it before.

I am a devil.

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

[That might be best, Vergil.] ...You are? Like the demons of Niflheim? [No, he can't be. ...Can he?]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

I've never heard of the place, so I would just as quickly say no. Perhaps it is more apt to say I'm half demon, a hybrid. But demonic blood, and strong blood at that, flows through these veins.

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

It's the underworld. [She thinks about this.] So you're half-demon, half-human. I never knew. [But that sort of explains the air he always has about him.]

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

And you're an angel. The revelation was similarly surprising. And now you understand the comedy about it all.

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

[She does, now.] A demon and an angel as friends. It is pretty funny...

dictated;

[azuredemonic]

[He doesn't even nitpick on the "f" word this time! PROGRESS]

Indeed.

dictated;

[heal_theworld]

Well, I wasn't born an angel, so it's not entirely the same, but... Don't worry, Vergil. I won't use any light magic on you! [Like he was worrying about that before this.]
