He smiles, the tiredness in his eyes becoming slightly less pronounced. "I would be overjoyed to have you. But what about the other guy you mentioned? You know, in there?"
"What about them? They would be willing to help, but they aren't the same as me. They aren't a healer, more killing to protect than healing to protect." He smiles back at them.
He nods. "Alright. I can easily work with that. I think I should meet them sometime, so I'm not completely surprised when they show up to the fight instead of you."

Omori desperately tries to maintain balance on the board as it slowly drifts forward, though as she continues, her anxiety gives way to joy. "I- I think I'm doing it. I'm doing it, Top! I'm skateb-" The skateboard rolls over a small rock, jostling it slightly. Omori immediately loses her balance and falls flat on her back.
"You can do whatever you like with it design-wise. I'll start writing out some drafts for the final version." She responds, following him and sitting down at her desk, grabbing an ink pen and thinking of what to write.
She would have fallen if Top did keep his promise and caught her, holding her in his arms for a moment, his eyes smiling down at her before putting her back down on the ground "You're doing great, do you want to try again?"
He sits down nearby, though he doesn't have a chair of his own other than the piano bench, beginning to fold some of the papers into origami skulls, humming to himself as he does so, the first song him and KK have ever played together.

"Because you are filled with Dark Energy. It pools around you, enough to drown out a choir of angels. The only way that could happen would be if you were surrounded by agony and terror and hatred. So, per my job description, I should discretely remove you from humanoid society, but I worry that won't be the best course of action for this case. So... whose actions aren't being loving in this equation? You look like you have something to live for, so I hope that you aren't going around tormenting people."
"I knew you would say that." He hugs one of its serpentine tendrils. "But I really wanted to hear you say it anyway."
*Apologies for the delay*
Her smile drops a bit, as she puts away her notepad and pen and stands up. "I see... well, there's no easy way to say this, but it's... kinda one of my jobs to torment people. Not harm, of course, just frighten. I help run a theme park of sorts- the Faceless Fair- and one of the jobs I do is making sure the park stays actually scary. I don't frighten them myself, but I make all the puppets that do. If it helps my case at all, we inform people of what they're getting into when they go there- the only people that are scared are the ones who showed up because they wanted to be scared."
Two of its horrific arms reach over and hug Felix as well, virtually surrounding him with thorns. "I know you did. That's why I said it." It says to him. "I just want you to be happy, Felix."
"I see." He writes something down. "Well, you haven't filed any paperwork to NEO about running an operation that deliberately causes Dark Energy buildup, and thus haven't paid any of the appropriate dues... highly illegal. Nightmare Demons have been running around everywhere, wreaking havoc and possessing people. Because you haven't filed your paperwork properly, NEO has no idea that this is happening and can't send out any damage control. Were you aware of any of this?"
"I know. It's still amazing to me. I want you to be happy too."
She seems genuinely surprised and genuinely concerned. "I- No, I wasn't aware. I don't handle much of the paperwork- that's mostly the job of my business partner, Podmorski- I... I had no idea any of that was happening." She responds.
It continues to hold Felix for as long as he is comfortable with. "I'm here with you- I'm already happy."

Oliver squirms. "He started it!" he shouts hoarsely.
"This was a great honeymoon choice."
"I ain't care who started it! Both y'all are gonna stop!" She shouts back, before putting them down.
"An amazing one, I love you so much Leo."
Oliver backs up, staring at the ground. The other kid sneers and walks away,
"I love ya too Ana."
She picks the other kid back up, walking over to a bookshelf and sitting them on top with no way to get down "That's what ya get fer bein' bad. I'll come get ya later."
"You don't have to call me just Ana, I'm Anastasia Valdez."

"I may be able to fight, though I am not as brutal as they are." He stands up "Would you mind if I got you something to drink or eat? After all, we are partners now, and it will be my first gift."

Porter limps over, using his hammer as a crutch. "Hey there. How are you today?"
He doesn't seem bothered.
“Different than before and different than I shall be.”
He leans over Baegoji to the point of barely being balanced at all, merely a centimeter from his face.
He raises his eyebrows. "Poetic. You gotta light I could use? My matches are all wet."
He boops Rio, but otherwise doesn't respond.
Eito gestures to the small black candles along the shelf.
Instinctively, he unhinges his jaw and snaps at your finger, but stops before biting down. He hasn’t been able to gauge you yet, and isn’t sure if it would be foolish to attack.

She sighs, "That's another hour you're stuck up there. At least Oliver tried to help me when I was in need, you've done nothing but cause problems. Think about what you've done." She walks after Oliver.
"All of those work too, can I give you another gift?"
