He laughs softly. "What were your people like, Ao? If you are comfortable with reliving your glory days, that is."
"My people were solitary and obedient to our God. Not much different than any other people. Though they were wonderful artisans and smiths. I bear the last, and the strongest, sword and armor they forged."
"Impressive. But neither swords nor armor interest me. They are hard and sharp and uncomfortable in nearly all cases. I see the appeal, but power is no longer my focus. Comfort is. And speaking of which, would you care for some food to go with that tea?"
"I dare say I would." he smiles, bowing again "I apreciate your hospitality, Baegoji."

"Shame he'll be running out of evidence soon, wouldn't you agree?" He chuckles softly. "I can help you this time around, but you'll have to sell me that full-fat incrimination you've got on your hands."
"No, not quite. We come in myriad forms. This is all he his, and likely all he will be." He rocks the head, and its eyes slowly close as it falls asleep. "I have a place in the homeless shelter. I think I'll put him on a shelf there and feed him oats."
She taps her fingers against the glass "I still need some... it's all I can eat nowadays it seems.." She says softly.
"Does he like oats?" Angel asks.
"Well then, perhaps you could store it in my pantry. I'd prepare it for you, if you'd do the honor of... working for me. I'd get Thane off your back and you'd be able to keep eating. After all, a coup usually has corpses, doesn't it?"
"I don't know. I'll have to see."

May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
"Really? I thank you for your patronage then." He smiles faintly.
"No problem. I wanted to do something nice for you!"
"Nothing at all."
"I enjoyed the one about werewolves." she says simply, the shelf disappearing as well
"Well, I don't know how to return the favor." he chuckles softly. "any ideas?"
"You sure about that?"
"Lycanthropes. Sorry, I oughtn't correct you unnecessarily."
"The point of a favor is you do it without needing or asking for a reward. I'm completely and entirely fine."
"Yep."
"Careful now, I can kill ya at any time." she says with a teasing smile, showing fangs.
"Well, I still feel like doing you a solid too. But, alas, I know not how to repay you."
"Well, then sit. You're making me nervous."

They all bow in unison, although some bow slower or faster than others because of their physiques.
He rolls his shoulders as he puts his helmet down on top of the hilt of his blade, “I know there are very few of you who have an actual want to fight, and that is good, but not entirely. Raise a hand if you are willing to fight me, and I will know if you are lying.” He says with a friendly smile.
They all raise their hands, except for one. "Willing, right? Like, not that we want to fight, just that we would if we had to?"

“Wrong, if you had to fight me, you’ve already failed in some aspect. When I say willing, I mean even when there are other options, you are ready to take my life.” He says, looking at all the raised hands.
He decides not to wake them, he’s still got adrenaline pumping through his veins from work, so he decides to start cleaning around the home.
She looks relieved, though she’s worried it might still lose, but it content enough to calm down, sitting back down.
She silently climbs on top of them, and curls up into their fluff.
On his own, he wakes up, groggy from the high. "baaaabe?"
"See? I'm fine." he kisses her cheek
"Get cozy, friend.. I'm sorry for yelling.."
He sees a sweaty and shirtless Don working on cleaning the house, “Oh, you’re awake.”
She kisses them back, “You may be, but you’re still going to rest.”
She shakes her head, “It’s okay… you did it because you care… and… that means a lot.”
"And to a wonderous view no less." he says as he stretches, groaning.
"I know.." he lays back down, waiting for her
"I'm glad you see why.."

"I-I suppose but it feels bad.. I am already a sinner, I broke two of the ten commandments.. Some part of me thinks I should let myself be rotting away in a prison for what I did.." She said, holding her head in her hands, as if blocking some sort of noise.
"Why did you want to show him to me?" He asked, fluffing his wings.

"Forgive the mess, I am trying to regain my sanity again."
*Reading those two interactions beside each other made me laugh*
"I guess. I've seen worse. The place where this leads is the landing place for every evil ever dreamt up by the sinners who inhabit this earth. Sometimes, they live long enough to escape. It's my job to kill them before they reproduce."
He chuckles. "There are many who try to do the same, but it's rare that they have the talent that you display. But of course, you'll need a Baptism to truly do your art justice." He gestures to the water. "What goes into the work determines what comes out, after all."
*Omori just wants there to not be some new horrific thing happening for, like, 5 minutes- meanwhile, KK is like "I have created the Torment Nexus from the iconic "Please Don't Make The Torment Nexus."*
"Sounds like a really important job." She replies. "...So that's where it all came from, huh? Every villain, every monster... all from in there?"
She looks to the water, taking a step towards the Sea... but stops. "Not yet." She says, stepping back from the embrace of the unfathomable. "I'm not ready yet. There's something I must do first- I've yet to marry the love of my life. Once I do, we'll return here together, and then we'll be ready."
"Other way around. It's a symptom of evil, not the cause. I can't hate the things that crawl out, no matter how violent they are. After all, they're just like us: scared and angry, born into a world that hates them. Life is pain, and being a Nightmare amplifies all pains. They can taste trauma in the air, hundreds of years after it occurs."
"That sounds nice. But are you sure this place will accept you then? It is concentrated pain and evil... it is the antithesis of love. But maybe it'll still let you in. You'd be weaker as an Arteist, but you'd still be stronger than most." He thinks out loud. "Love is more important than this. Far more important, wouldn't you say?"

"Hmmm... then I will make arrangements for you." Oris looks disappointed. "I do hope you understand that God made you, and He loves you. You are not allowed to hurt His creations, unless there is no other option. I must leave." He snaps his fingers and Oris follows him. "Do well, Misha."
"Because... I like you. I wanted you to meet my family." He looks a bit sad.

She lies down with them, resting her hands on them.
She lies down, getting comfortable, “I… I’ll try to talk to my group… thank you again…”
He kisses back, sticking a blunt in their mouth. "I try."
he cuddles up to her, closing his eyes
"If you see that the fit thing to do." he says quietly, rubbing her back gently.

He doesn’t react for a moment, his arms to weak to pick themselves up before looking at them, thankful for the hug.
"I dare say I would." he smiles, bowing again "I apreciate your hospitality, Baegoji."

He nods. "True, true..."
"I'm fine. The fact that you even want to repay me is more than enough."
"Nervous? Then maybe you ought to relax..." Rio smirks.
No news is good news…
I'll lay a white rose on the cold earth, knowing it that it has not claimed your soul.
