Mission 5: Renewed memories and rusted bonds.

[hellspawnedhero]

*Dante is strangely absent from this video, but Coronamon appears to be sitting on the floor next to a bed. His tail is curled onto his lap and he seems to have been crying. In fact, he still hasn't gotten his sobs fully under control by the time he starts recording.*

Since...since a lot of you know Dante and are friends with him... *Sniff.* I should probably tell you. He's- *Gulp.* He's de- *Choke.* he's gone. It was...I think it was an accident, but... *Sniffle.* Humans don't turn into eggs, do they?

And where's his chump brother?

[Video]

[hellspawnedhero]

St-still here.

Re: [Video]

[badluckbabe]

...good luck with that.

[hellboundslayer]

[ THAT earns the beast a glare. shut up. ]

[fullofthorns]

If that is the case then I apologize profusely, sir. At any rate, I will continue to curtail the lady's attempts at reckless retaliation. She is, however, larger than I am, and angrier than anticipated so I apologize in advance if my efforts are for naught.

Thank you, and good luck, Coronamon.

[hellspawnedhero]

I...I don't th-think Dante would want a-anyone to try to hurt him...

Re: [Video]

[badluckbabe]

Yeah well that works out pretty well considering if that memory leak was to be believed, the guy's a pretty unstoppable fighter.

And I don't plan on getting myself killed to avenge the death of the idiot who just HAS to fight with his brother every time they meet.

[hellspawnedhero]

Th...they were only s-supposed to be playing.

[lovespinkbirdies]

... They were using real weapons? Why... why would they be doing that?

Action

[bewarethefaeries]

[Demon blood? Like...an actual demon? Today was just full of surprises and it was all beginning to wear on Laguna like a rusty belt sander. This was asking a lot of a guy to just up and accept off the bat, but fortunately for Dante, Laguna had been around to talk with him before that knowledge came to light. Demon blood or no, he seemed like a nice enough person; and if Squall trusted him, then he didn't have a reason not to]

Wow...sounds useful if you can shake off full on impalement and keep going.

[hellspawnedhero]

I d-don't know.

MORE ACTION! Just for Vergil this time.

[hellspawnedhero]

*After everything that just happened, Dante really wants to just tell people he's okay, get a shower and collapse to unwind. But before that, he gets the feeling he's going to have to have a talk with his brother. But of course the jerk's already left the apartment. It would make things too easy to stick around.

After a bit of poking around, he finds out that Vergil's room is in the most unexpected place ever. Namely, right next door to his. He's not sure whether to laugh at that or facepalm, but he just settles for knocking on the door.*

[hellboundslayer]

[ unfortunately - or fortunately depending upon how Dante sees it - Labramon is the one that ends up being at the door to let Dante in. ]

Are you sure you should be up and about so soon?

[ Vergil is actually in his room. coat hung up and everything. someone had actually planned on sleeping. ]

[hellspawnedhero]

I'm fine. Besides, there's somethin' I've gotta deal with.

[hellboundslayer]

And what, pray tell, would this "thing" be that would have you over here...

[lovespinkbirdies]

I... I... see.

[ And there's really nothing she could do or say to make this even remotely okay. Just... what the heck? How could anyone be so dumb to do that? Not even her brother would do something like this. ]

[hellspawnedhero]

I know you ain't stupid...you took the amulet, so I'm sure you noticed.

*He's not even mad over Vergil taking the amulet. As much as he wouldn't trust him with the whole thing, it is his right. They belong to the sons of Eva. And if one of them dies, it's only right that the other holds onto the half in his stead.*

[hellboundslayer]

You thought I would need an explanation?

[ thing is... Vergil is not quite sure he wishes to know. ]

[hellspawnedhero]

Better than wondering and letting the what ifs get to ya, ain't it?

*He's not sure he wants to talk about it. But Vergil at least deserves to know how Dante got his amulet.*

Action

[innermonologues]

I did warn you about this.

[ He's just sayin'. ]

Action

[hellspawnedhero]

Came in handy, yeah. Had to learn to deal with pain the old fashioned way, though.

*Turning to Squall.*

And you warned me about fightin' digimon, didn't say a thing about gettin' into fights with other de- *Oops.* humans.

*It feels strange to be calling himself and Vergil human. He's always thought of himself as like a human, but not quite one.*

[hellboundslayer]

There are really no "what ifs" about it. What will happen will and there is little to be done about it.

[ can't change it, right? ]

[hellspawnedhero]

Does that really stop you from thinking about the possibilities?

*He reaches up to finger the amulet still hanging out in the open. A bit of a nervous habit when he's upset or worried.*

[needsteaplz]

[She nods.]

I'm the only one in my family left. I lost my parents when I was still small and pretty much raised my little brother.

[hellboundslayer]

[ oh Vergil is aware of his little tell. that worried... then there's really little reason to even guess now. ]

Dante.

[ he's really not the best at comfort or anything. now Vergil even looks uncomfortable. ]
