I can't believe that you threw this in the trash can! You're supposed to be using it and saying hello to everyone.

[ on screen is the face of a very frustrated Labramon. the feed is bouncing, so she's walking while holding on. the person she's following? he's not even looking back. all that can be seen of Vergil is the blue of his coat and the back of his head - Yamato held firmly. ]

Are you even listening to me? Look, I've even got it started so all you - Hey I'm talking to you!

[ here Vergil stops his stride. turning around? ha, nope. ]

Turn it off and be gone.

Nope! Can't do that. We're supposed to be working together here.

The struggles of this world and those in it are none of my concern.

[ Labramon huffs. ] Oh it will be if you want to get back and you're going to need these guys to help too. I bet that there are already others from your world here too.

[ Vergil's position shifts, taking a glance over his shoulder. a thumb hovers dangerously close to the guard of the blade. ]

Turn it off. I will not repeat myself a third time.

[ welp. that's enough to get the digimon scrambling to do just that. geez. what a jerk. ]

[innermonologues]

Sounds like you found yourself a pleasant partner to be trusted to.

[Audio]

[hellboundslayer]

And just exactly how much were you jumping up and down for joy when you first came here? Serious question.

[ yeah, Vergil is a jerk. not what Labramon had been expecting but... don't talk smack dude. not cool. ]

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

None. I don't do joy.

[Audio]

[hellboundslayer]

Does that stop your partner from trusting you at all?

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

I never said you couldn't trust him. I don't have any information on him to pass on any judgement.

[Audio]

[hellboundslayer]

Sounds like you were -

[ oops Labramon is being cut off. ]

I hardly need you to defend my honor.

[Neku watches this play out, looking a little bored, along side Gummymon]

Wow, what a try hard

Kinda a douche too.

video;

[hellboundslayer]

A little, yeah.

[ Vergil's still there, guys. pushing his hair out of his face to no avail. it's starting to sour his mood more. ]

video;

[scratchitti]

Still, he's your partner. Can't say I was a ball of sunshine and flowers when I got here either.

No, you were screaming and crying. Mostly.

Shut it

[hellboundslayer]

Still is in part, it seems.

[ teenagers. but that's the only comment from Vergil and Labramon shakes her head. ]

He'll come around. I'm not going anywhere.

[Neku huffs. omg rood]

Maybe he secretly has a heart of gold. Or is really good at bass guitar. Or something worthwhile!

[hellspawnedhero]

*At first, Dante is caught in stunned disbelief. His first thought is that that can't really be Vergil, no matter how much he looks and sounds like him. But that's Yamato by his side and he remembers one person saying that the dead appearing wouldn't be the strangest thing that's happened here.

Well...standing here staring isn't going to do him any good. Swallowing his uncertainty, he hits the respond button with his usual unimpressed expression.*

I see going to Hell didn't change your sunny disposition.

[hellboundslayer]

[ now this... this he can actually be bothered to respond to. ]

It was a short lived experience.

[ but that's before getting a real good look at Dante. what he sees is not only disconcerting, but also implausible. the passage of time does not differ between worlds... for Dante to have aged so much.

Vergil isn't touching that. nope. ]

[hellspawnedhero]

Not surprised. If the way I showed up is any indication, this place seems to have a bit of a thing about bringing people from right after something big blows over.

[hellboundslayer]

Would you have preferred something more towards the halfway point of whatever excursion you happen to be on?

[hellspawnedhero]

Actually, I would have preferred if I'd at least managed to get home and drop off my stuff. You never realize just how many red orbs you're cartin' around until your magical storage craps out.

[fullofthorns]

Wait hang on don't shut it off...

[ As usual, Roze is spending an unhealthy amount of time on the D-T, her voyeurism at an all time high since the memory leaks happened. Now she's interested in all the newcomers. Lo and behold, somethin' fuckin' magical happened. ]

Holy Hell...I know you... [ She mumbles, pointing at the screen and arching a bright pink brow over a mint green eye. ]

You're the pretty one...You're Dante's twin, aren't you? You are. I saw you in...a thing. Holy cats in teacups, he's gonna flip his ever-lovin' shit.

Vergil, right?

I'm Roze.

Wow... You are definitely grumpy in comparison...

Greetings, Lord Vergil. It will be gratifying to have someone around to counter-balance Lord Dante's...overwhelming...presence.

Wow, K-Man. Rude.

Merely stating my opinion, as you so often do, ma'am.

[hellboundslayer]

[ his response comes later. after he can get his hair properly slicked back without it falling back into his eyes.

it's what this woman says that's... well. it's enough to have him at least responding. that's something. ]

I highly doubt he will be as enthusiastic as you seem to think.

[ but he's amused at most with the digimon. "Lord." ha. ]

Re: [Video]

[fullofthorns]

I wouldn't be able to say it was enthusiasm or not, man. I just know he grouses over you a lot. I dunno if I'm supposed to say anything though. Hm. *chinscratch*

But you're family, so I guess it wouldn't matter either way. Still, wow. Very awesome to see you here. Seriously. I'm sure you're none too pleased about it, judging from your little thing with uh...your...dog digimon?

Labramon.

Yeah that, thanks.

Of course.

This is K-man, by the way.

Kotemon, if you please.

*eyeroll*

So have you spoken to Dante yet? Does he know you're here? Hm...I should call him...

[Video/Private]

[hellspawnedhero]

I already saw this, Sweet Stuff. Mind doin' me a favor and not bringing up the fact that he...ain't around by the time I'm from?

Re: [Video/Private]

[fullofthorns]

Yeah. Yeah sure. Of course not. I wouldn'ta mentioned that. Geez, gimme some credit, Dante...[ She looks a little hurt. Just a little. ]

[Video]

[hellboundslayer]

He beat you to the punch. I didn't think humans could look alike...

[ ignoring that THING for a moment. and Kotemon too, really. he's not really all about introductions or polite behavior. ]

"Family." Right.

[ some family... ]

Re: [Video]

[fullofthorns]

Haha, well, yeah. I suppose I can understand that sentiment. [ Flips through video clips on her D-T briefly before flicking back over to Vergil. ]

You should see the kinda family shit people around here deal with. Me included.

Even so...I dunno all the details, but you could always use this opportunity to get your beef out, let it blow over or make the best of it. I'd totally love to talk to you like...sans Dante. No offense to him and all but I'd kinda like an unbiased chat.

[fibs]

Aren't you just an enjoyable presence?

Kehehe! Sucks to be you!

[video]

[hellboundslayer]

I hardly see why I should concern myself with being pleasant.
