I'm a demon, it would heal.

[ Half demon. And yes, ge waited until she sat down to say that. His drink was a fancy tea. ]

Mello, he is much worse than I.

[metamorphotic]

[she clicks her tongue and shakes her head as she gently pries off the lid of her coffee to allow the drink to cool.]

Yeah, I dunno about that, have you seen how he dresses himself? Assuming he does dress himself, of course. [she laughs.] Anyway, what's so important that we need to speak about?

[demonic_divinity]

You haven't met my brother. He's worse than Mello ever could dream of being, and I'm sure he dresses himself, he's to prideful to let anyone else see him.

[ He actually smiled then and shrugged. ]

Nothing at all, I honestly just wanted to see you before we get to all the ceremony later this week. Your the sanest of us all, after all. Plus the family gave me a night off, I don't think they tailed me even.

[metamorphotic]

If I’m your measure for sanity, y’all are well and truly fucked.

[she laughs and ducks her head, suddenly feeling a little shy. he just wants to see her? out of everyone else in the city he could spend time with? that makes her insides feel a bit jumbled up.]

I just ... I used to be a pretty terrible person, and I spent a long time hurting people on purpose. Starting fistfights, pushing people around, sayin’ the meanest shit I could come up with. I don’t wanna be that guy anymore.

[she takes a sip of her coffee and immediately regrets it, because it is still way too hot to drink.]

Ow, shit. [she glances back up at vergil with a slightly sheepish smile and shrugs.] Well, d’you got plans for your night off? I usually play at Rick’s on my nights off but he’s got someone else lined up for tonight.

[demonic_divinity]

[ Oh shit, Vergil actually laughed, which sadly kina showed just how young he really was. High spirits tended to bring that 'hardly an adult' out of him.

Oh, oh Nick, he's a bag of dicks. Don't fall for it. ]

I tried to take over the world after over throwing the demon king. We've all made mistakes. And if your that guy here, I'm just gonna see Dante, and your so much better than him.

[ He sat back taking a drink of his coffee. He enjoyed the burn himself, demonic healing and all, a little pain kept him alive after all.]

Not a plan at all that's why I called you. I can't stomach another night of Mello, so I came to you, and William flirts to much for my comfort. Oh yes, I forgot you played.

[metamorphotic]

[unfortunately, “bag of dicks” tends to be nick’s type. there have been a few outliers since she’s been in dualis, but overall? nick mostly makes very poor choices.]

Will’s a sweetheart when you get to know him. I’ll agree with you on Mello, though - d’I ever tell you he was on the same ship as me, before we got dumped here? Kept to himself, mostly, which was a lot better.

[she pauses to gently blow on her coffee.]

If you wanted to come over and hang out tonight, I could give you a private performance.

[demonic_divinity]

I'll take your word on that.

[ It was a terrible idea and yet... ]

That sounds lovely actually. As for Mello, I had no idea, but I agree that would be preferred to dealing with him as much as we do.

[ He stood, tugging his jacket back on, and lifting his coffee.]

[metamorphotic]

[nick chooses not to push the issue, since she knows will's an acquired taste.]

Yeah ... easier to forget he exists when he's hiding out in his room the entire time.

[which is basically what mello did. she shrugs.]

So what time are you comin' over?
