Mission 13: Shattered Hopes

[hellspawnedhero]

*The video is somewhere low to the ground, showing Dante standing at the edge of town, holding a nodachi that should be familiar to those who knew Roze. In place of Rebellion, there's a red long sword on his back, and he's staring at the sky with an unusually subdued expression. He almost looks emotionless, except for a notably melancholy air about him.

He doesn't seem to be aware he's being recorded, though, and the voice that speaks is that of Kid.*

He's been like this ever since he found out about Squall and Roze. I don't know what to do...he's never gotten like this before. Even when the city got destroyed...he still managed to enjoy the trip and stay upbeat. Now he's barely saying a word...I'm worried.

*Dante looks over at the sound of his partner's voice and realizes he's being recorded. With a subtle frown, he walks forward and reaches for the D-Terminal.*

Kid, turn that off. Jeeze, everywhere I go, I get partners that think they're my babysitters...

*And that's the end of the recording, as Dante grabs his D-T from Kid and shuts it off.*

Of course I'm right! I'm the Doctor!

And you've got an appointment with me on Tuesday. Two o clock!

[hellspawnedhero]

*He snorts faintly at that.*

I'm not sure an ordinary therapist can make sense of my life. Though I guess I at least know you won't think I'm delusional for talking about demons.

[revvinguptheharley]

You got that right bub!

Lucky for you I'm an extra unordinary therapist! I would go as far to say there is no other therapist in my world quite like me.

[hellspawnedhero]

Hmm...and if I say I'll pass anyway? I'd probably just give you nightmares.

[revvinguptheharley]

PFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH HO HO HO HO! HEE HEE HEE HEE!

[Gasp pant wheeze]

O-oh...oh god you were serious about giving me nightmares?! Me of all people?! Oh honey, oh sweetie that's so precious!

You don't fall in love with the kind of man my Puddin' is without signing up for nightmares. You'll have to go a long way to get rid of me let along scaring me.

[hellspawnedhero]

*He raises an eyebrow and something almost...cruel glints in his eyes. The warped and mean side of his sense of humor might be taking that as a challenge.*

Alright, if you think you can handle it.

And now if you'd like to play out their therapy session we can do so :)

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh I can handle you big boy~

We'll just see how well you handle me!

I was going to ask!

[hellspawnedhero]

Hmph, I doubt you're any worse than Hell.

Would you like to do it here or in a new thread? I could set one up this weekend.

[revvinguptheharley]

Hell hath no fury like a woman with scones.

[She holds up a plate of steaming fresh scones]

I was thinking a log.

[hellspawnedhero]

Offer strawberries and I might be more worried about your wrath.

*He deals with scary women all the time. It does not stop him from being a pain.*

I'll set one up either tonight or tomorrow morning, unless you'd rather set one up. Then she'll tag.

[revvinguptheharley]

I feel like that's a reference I'm unfamiliar with. Which issue of your secret origins do I have to read for that?

I just set up a log a couple days ago XD;

[hellspawnedhero]

The one where I end up babysitting a little girl. She had an annoying habit of eating my strawberry sundaes.

Ah good, I'll look into that!

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh really? That's not a euphemism for anything is it? Because babysitting fetishes are pretty hot when done right.

[hellspawnedhero]

It's just what I said. I'm not into lolicon.

[revvinguptheharley]

You never really know, what with the half Japanese half digital world. I'm surprised more Digimon don't have tentacles.
