Right, yeah I figured it would be but...you remember what demons here eat at least, right? And...what that means for the person they eat.

[The pamphlet hadn't really elaborated on what happens to a body without its soul, after all. And he's not sure how much attention Gundam had been paying to he and Yosuke's conversation about soul eaters on the network.]

[The immediate tensing in his shoulders and shift in his expression should be proof enough that he does indeed remember, and was indeed paying attention to that conversation. And at first he's silent, because that...fuck...eating souls and leaving bodies in that sort of state...he doesn't think he can do that.]

[But that's not...something he wants to admit to Fuyuhiko. So he shifts fairly soon after that, carefully folding his arms over his chest with a scoff.]

Kuzuryuu, you are speaking with a natural inhabitant of the Netherworld. Demons devour the souls of the innocent. This is not news to me.

[He can totally eat souls. Ain't no thang. Ignore the fact that he's still tense, despite the forced careless look on his face.]

Mmm. [Your mouth says one thing, Gundam, but your expression says another. And Fuyuhiko's not stupid. He shrugs.] Hey, "demon"'s a pretty generic term isn't it? Wasn't sure if the demons here line up with yours. Thought I'd remind you, just in case.

[And definitely not because he wanted to be sure you had time to mentally prepare yourself or anything. Nope. He doesn't care about you that much.]

Consider the thought appreciated.

[But he's fine! No need to worry about him! He's eaten soooooo many souls before you don't even know Fuyuhiko. You don't even know.

There's still some anxiety in his voice as he continues talking, but for the most part he's managed to remove it from his expression.]

Rest assured, however, that the demons residing within the Netherworld of our realm operated similarly. Hunting humans for their life force is something we are taught from a young age. I've been doing so for years.

[Yup. Years. If he builds up his self image, that'll surely make it true and make it easier when the time comes. Definitely. Absolutely.]

It will be a breeze.

[Uh huh. Sooooo many souls. He can tell.]

Uh huh. [HE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU FOR AN INSTANT YOU FAKER.] Maybe the fog god has a thing for you. Sure sounds to me like she didn't go out of her way to make things difficult for you.

[Don't be fooled, the teasing is a deflection. He's still kind of worried about Gundam having to deal with putting people into vegetative states. Maybe. Just a little bit.]

[That's right! So many. Better recognize.]

It is fear. Returning my power and rightful status to me, the only explanation can be that she fears what may befall her for robbing me of them in the first place. However it is too late. Her doom is written in fate, signed with the very blood from my veins.

[Don't be worried. Just listen to that healthy cackle.]

She shall fall by my hand!!

[No you should honestly still be worried.]

[Yeah, he's still worried.]

No, I'm sure that's not it. If she were scared of you, she wouldn't have bothered to bring you here in the first place. I think it's more likely she's into pasty nerds.

[Hey, it's not like it's unheard of. Lookin at u, Sonia]

Edited 2015-10-06 03:39 (UTC)

[Everyone's looking at Sonia in this case, to be honest. Except for Gundam, because who knows if he understands that Sonia is into pasty nerds.

He just looks kind of offended almost, only a choked noise as his response at first.]

J-just what are you insinuating, fiend?!

Damn are you really that dense? What do you think I meant?

[JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ.]

Calm down though, I was just messing with you. I didn't really mean it.

[........which part of this whole deal is actually the joke here. "She's totally into you like that" or "I didn't mean it"? What if he's just saying he doesn't mean it to further mess with him? He doesn't really think the Fog God is into him because of what seems like favoritism, does he?

.......

It's not favoritism, right? She is not actually into pasty whi--er, demons like him, right?]

[But......what if she is? What if that's what this is? Some courtship ritual common among the gods? It wouldn't be surprising, he has just as much angelic blood as he does demonic, it isn't as if he could not marry a god.

Wait, why is he even thinking about that, he doesn't want to marry a god. Especially not someone like the Fog God.

But wait no, this is a serious concern. That's why he was thinking about it. What if she really, truly does want him like that? What would he do? What could he do? If she really rules this realm, could he refuse her? What if she threatened his classmates if he refused to marry her? What would he do then?

"If you do not accept my hand in marriage, your friends will be doomed to a life of eternal damnation. They will feel the agonizing heat of Hell, face tortures more horrendous than any torture they could imagine, and never be allowed release from this pain and suffering!"

...could he allow that?

He couldn't allow that. He likes them!

Shit, is he really fated to marry the Fog God????]

.........of...course. Right. Of course you were.

[He is fully convinced that you were messing with him, but his face reads, "What if he's right?"

Or, at least, it's got this nice hint of horror in that attempted neutral expression.]

[...]

[Why is it taking him so long to answer that? And why does it look like he's thinking so hard about this?]

...Tanaka, it was a joke. [His tone and expression pretty much make it clear that he cannot BELIEVE he has to explain this. Why is this conversation happening. He's never going to make fun of Gundam again, holy shit.] We don't even have any concrete proof this fog god is what everyone says she is. And if she really is an all powerful god, I'm sure you'd know by now if she had a thing for you. She'dve taken you to her secret god lair or whatever from the beginning.

I'm not sure someone...or something, in this case, so twisted is even capable of something like favoritism. You have to be capable of caring for something like that.

In all seriousness, I'd bet she's using some kind of reverse psychology bullshit to fuck with you. Turn you into the thing you want more than anything, but find little ways to make you miserable about it. That'd be my guess for what she's planning.

[More silence. And then a nod. Now he feels kind of stupid...

Pulling his scarf up a little, he glances away from the smaller man.]

It would not be a surprise. If she is truly a god, she is not one of benevolence. Tactics like that would be expected...

[Okay subject change would be cool. What could he change the subject to...]
