November TDM - Shura

[meinwaifu]

[ From here! ]

Oh, you didn't have to. But if you keep going like this, I imagine you're going to need one.

[He moves his hand as if about to use his powers for just that-- but instead she'll feel her chin suddenly being tilted up, as if his hand had moved over to tilt her face towards him.]

Especially when your drinking partner is a demon.



[--gross he's flirting with her?? Or maybe messing with her to try and provoke a reaction. Because that was always fun tbh.]

1/?

[exaomori]

[Uhh, excuse you, mister, Shura hasn't needed a babysitter for some time now, okay??]

Eeh, I can take care of myself, y'kno--

[exaomori]

[For a brief, shining moment, Shura thinks he's about to get her another beer. Maybe he isn't so bad!]

[exaomori]

[except]

[exaomori]

[Nope, that's him forcing her chin up like some creepy old man demon. Son of a bitch.

The rage flickers over her face for a brief second. The hell is he trying to do? He wasn't trying to flirt. There was no way; that wasn't how he did things. He was doing it to provoke her into something, likely because he was bored. He was just being... himself. A creepy old man demon.]

done

[exaomori]

[The angry expression is quickly replaced by that sweet and sexy smile. The one that Mephisto should be very familiar with by now. The one that spells out immediate danger.]

Aaah~ It's too bad they didn't manage to save my knives~

[If she didn't think he'd block the empty beer can and send it back her way, she'd send it right at his face. A neutered Mephisto was still a powerful Mephisto.]

This is all I can give you like this~

[And it's with little fanfare that she raises her hand up, middle finger held high. Stupid fricking demons and their stupid fricking demon powers.]

Re: done

[meinwaifu]

[He grins at first, seeing that look of anger cross her features. But as her expression changes, he purses his lips, and then snorts back a laugh... Or at least, he tries to. But the middle finger proves to be too much as he laughs -- with a slightly more bubbly tone than usual.]

[...]

[He might be drunk on two beers.]

Hahahah! My, threatening violence already? What's the matter? Can't take a little joke?

[exaomori]

[Ultimately, she gave him what he wanted, which was to react, and she hates it. If she was a better person, she'd try to ignore him, but really, that was just as much trouble.]

If ya'd listen to anything else, I wouldn't hafta to do it like that ♥

[There were, of course, other ways to get his attention, but that was the most preferable way with the best results so far. Then again, considering that he seemed to be just as inebriated as she was, if not more so, that might be the wrong position to take.]

Y'sure that you don't need a babysitter yourself, though? Seems like yer gettin' a little tipsy!

[meinwaifu]

Not at all! I'm perfectly capable of being reasoned with.

[Such bold-faced lies?? But it's not entirely untrue. It just required significantly more patience than any sane person would be willing to put in.]

Ah, but whatever do you mean? I've hardly had two -- I'm not that much of a lightweight.

[exaomori]

Nyeheh, yer a big liar~

[Shura did not have that patience. She usually bailed as soon as she could with Mephisto just to avoid this kind of thing, but now it felt like backing down was surrendering, and like hell was she going to give up.]

And y'know, it's not cute to be in denial like that~ Even a kid could see that you couldn't walk in a straight line if ya wanted to!

[meinwaifu]

Well, someone sounds rather eager to see me stumbling around drunk.

[He's could totally walk in a straight line! ...slowly. He's not going to stand and give her the satisfaction of seeing him sway a little when he stands.]

Shall we have another round and see who holds their booze better? [#baddecisions]

[exaomori]

Nah, rather not see that kinda thing, y'know?

[for real, maybe she should have reconsidered handing Mephisto that beer in the first place?]

But if ya think you can handle it, then let's try it~ I'm sure you have plenty of experience in this kinda thing, but so do I ♥

[#worsedecisions]

[meinwaifu]

[She'd rather not see that-- and yet she accepts his offer to drink more? There's clearly no way this could go badly.]

Fufu, but of course! I may not indulge too often these days [Well, these days as far as Assiah is concerned -- Nysa is a different story.] but I'm no stranger to drinking.

[And yes, he'll use his powers this time to open the fridge and float out a couple of beers.]

[exaomori]

[Whatever, whatever, stop going on like an old man! But at least he's finally getting the damn beer out of the fridge. It only took forever!! As soon as that baby comes close, she'll be reaching out to grab a can for herself.]

So what are we gonna do to see who's holdin' up better?

[Arm wrestle?? Nah, too much effort, and he could probably pull something stupid over her in a physical match like that.]

[meinwaifu]

You don't think it will be obvious? But if you'd like to dance for me to prove your sobriety, you're more than welcome to do so!

[h e h]

[exaomori]

Y'know, it takes more than jus' cheap beer to get me dancing, you old pervert.

[and you know what, just going to pop the beer open and down some of that. Because what a gross image.]

[meinwaifu]

[He snickers, taking his own beer and cracking it open for a drink.]

I was only making a suggestion! But I suppose it's rather moot when I already know what you're like when you drink.

[Since there was the Christmas party and a few incidents before that where he might have been watching because of course he was.]

[exaomori]

D'you really hafta say it like that?

[Oh, she knows he's watched her at some point or other. She hasn't forgotten the little roach incident. Creep.]

Yer prolly already spying on people, arentcha? You need new hobbies.

[meinwaifu]

What can I say? Old habits die hard... but I'll have you know, I have far better ways to spend my time these days than to sit around watching from the shadows.

[Heheheheh]

[exaomori]

[She's... not going to ask what. Because it's probably terrible. She takes another drink, instead.]

I guess if you're not gonna waste your time watching weird anime, then ya gotta find something else to do.

[His figurines, lost to the storm. She didn't want to know what other kind of merchandise he owned, the fact that he had those toys out on his desk was enough to know that there was probably a room full of crap like that somewhere in the mansion.]

[meinwaifu]

--excuse you, anime isn't weird, it's art!

[DON'T INSULT HIS WAIFUS??]

...but you're right. That's simply one of the many things to get used to going without in this world.

[exaomori]

Not the kind of crap you watch!

[Go! Go! Fantastical Kyoko-chan! or whatever crap he had on his desk was not what she would call fine art. Of course, Shura wasn't exactly an expert, but she had some common sense.]

We got phones or something like that, right? I'm sure you'll find somethin' to entertain you 'fore long.

[Entertain him and keep him out of her hair!!]

[meinwaifu]

You just can't appreciate the inherent complexities of Magical Girl Momo-chan!

[HUFFS and takes a drink, don't remind him anime is dead.]

--but that's what I said, isn't it? You know, there was a time when I lived before anime even existed. Or any number of modern conveniences... if anything, the world down there is far more familiar to me than it will be to you.

[exaomori]

[it's dead, so so dead]

Yer not gonna get all sentimental and crap on me, are ya?

[To be fair, she was pretty isolated from the modern world until Shiro took her in. It wasn't like Hachiro kept up with technology and she wasn't getting invited to spend the night over at a playmate's house to watch whatever kiddie show was popular. But really, she didn't want to listen to him ramble about the good ol' days or whatever.]

Rin said somethin' 'bout dragons, though. They the only kind of threat down there?

[beside the people, obvs]

[meinwaifu]

Just who do you think you're talking to? [...arguably, he's been pretty sentimental lately, but he's not going to be that way with Shura.]

But no. In fact, I wouldn't even say the dragons are much of a problem, with how they've been domesticated by the people of Wyver.

Though there doesn't seem to be anything like demons, the local flora and fauna are rather comparable in terms of the sort of mischief they can cause for those who come across them. The cities themselves are relatively safe, but it seems one should be careful when exploring beyond their walls.
