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. ]

And here I thought that you would be glad for it.

[ considering how much Dante clings to his humanity... ]

Lot's changed since you went on your little field trip. I ain't the same pissy little kid who thinks pretending he ain't half demon is gonna do shit other than get him in trouble.

Trust me, Verge. You ain't the only one that's pissed about bein' helpless here.

[hellboundslayer]

While I welcome the revelation, I would have preferred improved cognitive and speech skills.

[ and because he can: ] I am far from helpless.

[hellspawnedhero]

Well pardon me for not trying to sound like a pompous know-it-all every waking moment of my existence. A more casual manner of speaking just happens to better fit the image I like to present.

Would you care for me to start pulling my hair back as well?

And if you're not helpless without your powers, care to demonstrate?

*Yes, yes he did just speak in a formal style with slightly above average vocabulary just to be a jerk.*

[hellboundslayer]

Does not knowing how a razor works fit into this image you are speaking of as well?

[ we'll get back to that challenge in a moment. though since Vergil is somewhat quipping back, Dante should take that as a sign. ]

[hellspawnedhero]

For your information, babes happen to like the scruff.

[hellboundslayer]

Which implies you cannot get the desired results otherwise or through other means. Disappointing.

[hellspawnedhero]

No, it implies I happen to give a crap about what the people around me like. I know this concept's a bit foreign to ya, but I'm sure you can figure out what it means.

[hellboundslayer]

I really don't care.

[hellspawnedhero]

Hey, you're the one goin' around jumpin' to conclusions.

[hellboundslayer]

Knowing you, it is hardly a jump.

....It's closer to long step.

[hellspawnedhero]

So long you're pretty much doin' a split.

[hellboundslayer]

Not in these pants, brother dear.

[hellspawnedhero]

And yet there ya were. But I wouldn't be worried about ruining 'em, they're tacky anyway.

*From the guy in chaps. Not that they're visible.*
