[weaselshot]

c'mon vergil i know you're getting my messages

that's fine!

[darkslayer]

Just because I'm getting them doesn't mean I'm obliged to respond.

What do you want?

[weaselshot]

[ these texts come one after the other in rapid succession ]

do you even get out of your house

what do you do if you're not looking at your phone

you're not laid so you must be masturbating

or looking at pictures of cats on the internet

[darkslayer]

You're repulsive.

[weaselshot]

that means i'm right, aren't i?

1. Then, you threw a sword at me.

2. Who the fresh hell put two pillows, a raincoat and a guitar on top of me to keep me warm last night?

3. Do you remember trying to sleep under the pool table while wearing a reflective vest? You kept saying you had to be safe.

4. As a courtesy going forward, if you could not bang in my house, that would be nice.

5. Text him!

Dare I ask where this line of questioning is going?

[oldrebellion]

you could ask but that doesn't mean i'm gonna tell you outright

[wrathgrown]

[too bad long-suffering sighs aren't audible through text]

To answer your question, I have never thought about dating in my life.

[oldrebellion]

( ... what was that noise? did you hear something?

sounded kinda like a shit ton of hot air being expelled. )

not surprising
honestly can't wrap my head around the idea myself but work with me here
hypothetically
what would be a good one for you

@ broodingsecret

[wrathgrown]

[Continued from here!]

Fortunately for me, he is no longer my problem.
Most of the time.

[broodingsecret]

I'd say I envy you, but knowing you get to deal with Dante instead makes me think our lots are even in terms of aggravation.

How is he, by the way?

[wrathgrown]

The same as always.
Notably, I have defeated him more times than he has defeated me.

[or both of them have lost count of how many times they've fought and are now both claiming to be in the lead, so make of that what you will]

[broodingsecret]

Now who's the same as always?

[He's teasing, of course. He's glad they're together now, despite everything.]

I don't suppose you've had much time for conversation amid the matches, have you?

@ twogunsonesword

[wrathgrown]

[continued from here!]

[What a nuisance. The angelic energy of the weapon easily shorts out the summoned swords it comes into contact with, and parrying all that holy energy seems too risky. He teleports away again, firing the remaining swords at Dante from a flanking position.]

What are you, exactly?

[twogunsonesword]

[Dante picks up on the sound of the swords and swings his arm up. One hand releases the grip on one of the scythe's handle, but the other keeps hold of its own, sending Osiris into a whirling propeller shielding his side.

A piercing glare aims at Vergil through the spinning weapon; the man's got too much control for Dante to think he'll get his swords ricochetted back at him, but hey, if he's wrong, sweet.]

A pain in your ass.

[And Osiris transforms back into Rebellion as he turns to face the other man.]

[wrathgrown]

Evidently.

[He vanishes again -- Dante will realise by now that is just the Vergil experience -- and appears directly above him, descending in a downwards slash. If he misses, he'll merely try again, dogging Dante's movements until he either makes a misstep or is too slow to dodge.]

[twogunsonesword]

[Gone again. Dante exhale/growls in annoyance.] Ugh, I hate fuckers like you... No sense of commitment. [Behind? No not beh-- OH SHIT!

Dante drops and curves to the side, snarling as that blade catches the outside of his shoulder. Too slow! Fuck! There goes some skin!

The insignia on his back flashes again as the injury repairs and Dante more successfully dodges the second one.]

It's raining men.

[Third time, he plants one foot behind him and meets Vergil's downward plunge with a crash of Rebellion against the Yamato in a shower of sparks. Guh! But this guy's not going to be thrown as easily as he tossed that giant Hunter demon. Which is disturbing all on its own.]

The hell are you, shitstorm?

1

[patricided]

You say that like I haven't thrown a sword at someone before and did it wrong.

[wrathgrown]

Fortunately for you, I decided not to throw it back, or we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[patricided]

Should I give you a medal?

@ swordstruck

[darkslayer]

[Continued from here!]

[Vergil is already regretting going along with Dante's request, and he can't think of any place he'd be less interested in saving than a pizza joint. Maybe a library or gallery that had piqued his interest, at a push. Maybe even a concert hall. But this...?

He shows up at their allocated meeting spot, Yamato in hand and the usual scowl on his face.]

Don't think that my doing you favours like this will become a regular habit.

[swordstruck]

[ does it help that there's library not too far from the pizza joint? and that there was probably a good possibility that it could have gotten caught in the inevitable crossfire?? ]

I wouldn't dream of holding my breath, Verge, because I'm not into asphyxiation. [ there's a massive demon hulking down the street smashing buildings left & right; growing closer to the buildings that both dante & vergil would prrrrobably like to preserve. ]

But, look, if you need to call on me. [ fingerguns. ]

[darkslayer]

[Vergil just gives a long-suffering sigh, ignoring Dante yet again. He begins to calmly approach the demon, observing for now as he sizes up its potential weak points.

While he's keen to get the kill first before Dante can, he's also careful not to look too eager... You know, in case his little brother gets the wrong idea and thinks he actually wants to help out.

After those few moments of observation, he vanishes in a haze of blue, reappearing at the ankles of the demon and unleashing a broad slash at its ankles. The objective is to bring it down to its knees quickly, or at the very least, reduce its mobility.]

[swordstruck]

... [ ok, so much for breaking the ice with a couple of jokes. he just huffs a laugh and pivots, turning to watch as his brother unleashes a flurry of strikes on the demon's ankles. it howls in anger, swiping at him, but because it's not the most coordinated it misses and turns its heads down on vergil to spew hot magma. ]

[ dante takes this opportunity to dash forward, vanishing similarly, except his own haze is red, and he reappears behind the beast. ]

Hey! [ he starts firing ebony&ivory at it, trying to get it to turn around and face him. he knows the guns probably aren't doing very much damage, but he's really just trying to piss it off, so it doesn't focus on trying to roast vergil. ] You sick or something? Because I've got just the prescription; some .32 caliber aspirin!
