[ There is a Keramon on the network who looks vaguely concerned. ]

Do humans come with a factory warranty? I think I broke mine because I squeezed him too hard! Should I return him for a new human? Or bring him somewhere for repairs? Because he's been poking his arm for a while now and mumbling about something not working.

[ Keramon moves the camera a little to show Nero who is clearly sitting at a table in Hospitown's cafe. He also is in fact prodding his arm. Of course hi arm is also blue and covered with this red ridges and scales. He also might look somewhat similar to a certain pair of half demon twins to those familiar with them. ]

See? SEE?

[ The wild flailing of his spindly comically long arm attracts Nero's attention and he looks up with a scowl. ]

Hey! Don't play with that. It's not a toy.

[ He reaches out with the demony looking hand as if he's about to grab it even though he's clearly too far to reach. That seems to occur to him, and with a frown, he gets up to take it from him instead. ]

This squidbug's gonna be the death of me...

I do not believe that it is. Another annoying, far more obnoxious party states otherwise.

It is inevitable with that insufferable red-clad fool being as stubborn as he is. I would rather do so on my own terms than have his thick skull taking action.

What's Dante got to do with this?

[ Because from that description ho else could it be? ]

Nothing less than being himself - an immature brat of a brother with far too much idle time on his hands.

You're Dante's brother?

[ He sounds skeptical. ]

There are days I might wonder how it is possible, but it is the unfortunate truth.

Love you too, bro.

Didn't anyone teach you it is rude to eavesdrop?

Couldn't help it, my ears were burnin'. Didn't anyone teach you it's rude to talk about someone behind his back?

I am merely following your example, baby brother.

Real cute.

*You know he was telling you about Nero for a reason and not just to be a brat.*

So... what's it like having a guy like that as your big brother?

[ Because even though he doesn't see his face or anything that clearly is a much younger sounding voice. ]

[ the two snickering voices would be his partners. they cut off abruptly... ]

I am constantly torn between lobbing his head off or merely letting him off the hook with a minor flesh wound.

He does seem to have that way with people.

[ He'll tell you how their first meeting went someday. ]

[ if you didn't stab him in the chest, you are no son of his. ~~hurr~~ ]

I am surprised that his partners can withstand his... Temperament.

[ Don't worry dad he tots impaled him. On a statue of Sparda. It was very cinematic and dramatic. ]

He means well at least. I mean he's an an annoying troll but... he seems like the kind of person who's got your back, you know?

[ good boy.

now Vergil pauses. Dante... to let an honest opinion slip or to just ignore it. bah... ]

I imagine it took quite a bit for him to mature to that level. [ the meaning well, at least. Dante had kind of been out for himself until the end there. ] However, I suppose if I had to choose who to cross blades with or who fight along side with, there would be no other.

[ if only because no one else can be his equal. 8T ]

Hardly anyone else is worth the time.

*Awwww, he's touched, bro.*

So that must be what it's like to have a brother, huh? Sounds like you care about each other.

[ He's always wondered a little what it'd be like to have one himself, or if he hadone somewhere already. Well, he did have Credo... somewhat. But that's not really quite the same. ]

[ that's what it is like having a twin. another half of who you are, really. but he doesn't say that... Dante and he had been separated for years... ]

Family is, unfortunately, family.

[ and one of the only reasons that he is giving in to Dante's wishes here. partially. ]

[ Vergil you are secretly an okay brother after all? ]

I wouldn't really know.

[ hey now. he just has questionable means of achieving his goals here. B( ]

Oh?

[ no foster parents? that had been, you know. the plan. ]

I grew up in an orphanage. I was kind of a pain in the ass though so no one really wanted me I guess? I was sorta adopted for a few years and they were nice enough, but they only picked me up cause I have white hair like the 'Savior' supposedly did.

[ He snorts. Fair bit of irony there in retrospect. ]

They died a couple years later and I went strait to the Order barracks to start training in swordsmanship and shit.

Unfortunate.

[ again, not really the game plan. though the Order... that shouldn't have been too bad. perhaps inevitable, depending on circumstances. ]

Shit happens.

[ Things could have been worse! He could have been out on the streets and starving, or in the home of someone abusive. ]

I doubt that it will get any better.

[ their family doesn't have the best of luck. ]
