I'll swipe Yamato right through your innards if you don't tell me what this is all about.

[so he says, but he's going to poke around the app anyway. why is he seeing all these peoples' profiles now??? weird.

It's only when he swipes right for long enough and 'It's a match!' cheerfully pops up on the screen along with a chat box that he closes it and texts Dante again.]

THIS is how people find dates nowadays?

[oldrebellion]

could you BE any more dramatic?
just give it a look for yourself

( for the love of ... something holy, or something that was once holy, whatever. he's just going to wait until he sees some actual progress before he says anything else.

which ends up not being as long as he thought it might. )

easier than sitting by yourself in a bar trying to hit on anyone that gives you more than a passing look
while trying not to look pitiful sitting by yourself
get any matches yet? i thought i picked a pretty good profile pic

( the image in question. don't ask when he got that. he'll never tell.

but he also knows you have a preference for that sort of aesthetic. whatever it is. )

[wrathgrown]

It's not a bad photo.

Someone who is apparently a match tried to initiate conversation with me, so I closed the app.

[oldrebellion]

( can you hear the sound of his facepalm? because you really should be able to. )

vergil
you can't close the damn thing down when somebody tries to talk to you
how the hell are you gonna get dates like that

[wrathgrown]

I'm not trying to get dates. You're the one trying to push me into this.

[oldrebellion]

you're not even giving it a chance
your match though
hot?

( AND WE DON'T MEAN TEMPERATURE-WISE, VERGIL. DON'T GO THAT ROUTE. )

[wrathgrown]

If you're that desperate to find out, why don't you date them.

[Just do the hair flippy thing and scowl a lot and surely the person on tinder won't notice the difference.]

[oldrebellion]

( you are one hundred percent useless, you know that? )

i'm not desperate
just curious
come on, i went to all that trouble, you could at least say hi to them

( dante do we even need to tell you how much of a shot in the dark that is. )

[wrathgrown]

[A few minutes' delay, then--]

I said hello to them.

[oldrebellion]

good boy, proud of you
now please tell me you didn't just say hello

( YOU'RE DOING SO WELL ......... )

[wrathgrown]

They said they were happy we matched, and are now asking me all manner of intrusive questions.

[vergil it's called an 'ice breaker']

[oldrebellion]

( please be proud of him, he hasn't started laughing himself stupid yet. he really is proud of you for getting this far. )

let me guess
you consider being asked what kind of movies you like intrusive

[wrathgrown]

Asking me these questions is pointless. To use your example, I haven't seen a movie since we were children.

[oldrebellion]

it isn't pointless when you're trying to get to know someone
and you really need to get out more, man
seriously? not since we were kids?

[wrathgrown]

The demon world is not exactly brimming with human culture.

[it doesn't even have documentaries on how to get more P̟̗͔͙̥̗̹̮̈́͜ O͆̾̽͏̩̟̫̬̮͖ͅ W͖̱̱̉͒͢ E̖̲̓́̚͜ R̥̰̆́́, what a drag]

hey have some old tags bc i suck

[oldrebellion]

( vergil. sit. the mcfuck. down. drink some water or something. you're powerthirsty.

you know. instead of powerhungry ... you're welcome. )

touche
okay okay
this is in no way a date but i'm taking you to a damn movie
and if you think for a second i'm gonna sit through anything with subtitles this ends here

if 4 days is old, half my inbox is an ancient fossil by now

[wrathgrown]

[damn, why you gotta ruin his dreams of watching every single old black and white samurai movie]

I'll let you choose the movie, then.
But if it's trash, I reserve the right to leave at any point.

i mean mine is usually worse than that

[oldrebellion]

( convince him they're worthwhile and maybe he'll think about it. beat some culture into him, or something.

oh wait that's v's job. )

i'm gonna need your definition of trash then
because i'm making absolutely zero promises here

[wrathgrown]

No inane comedies or romances.

[Presumably that also rules out romcoms...?]

[oldrebellion]

( actually trying to picture vergil sitting through a romcom. dying on the inside. there is no better mental image than that. )

what about excessive blood and gore

[wrathgrown]

That is acceptable.
