[The lights behind his visor widen as he snatches the bottle out of the air. He immediately takes note of whether or not it's still warm, a decent enough metric of how fresh it might be.]

Got a warm welcome for me too, huh?
superstylishsquid: (Oh yeah...)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-07 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Welllll...we'll call this an apology for making me watch you die.

[He lightly bops Aoi over the head with the bottle, right as he lowers to float scant inches over the woof.]
superstylishsquid: (Huh?)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-07 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
By human standards, I guess. When you live as long as I have, individual years don't feel like all that long.

[He opens the bottle and chugs it, planning to not give it time to clot.]
superstylishsquid: (Is that the best you've got?)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-07 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
It does taste better. I'm glad...you weren't as bad as Hubert, but I did worry about your health.
superstylishsquid: (I don't know what to make of it.)

A hundred times, of everything snapping back to the way it was when you first woke up...

I saw something almost like that happen in Movieland, but everyone remembered...they just woke up with the previous day's work undone. Even that much was so hard on them, I had to question why they kept preparing for the next day.
superstylishsquid: (Huh?)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-07 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It took some doing, but we even managed to make sure Eva pulled through.

In a sense, anyway. She's never going to be human again, but some of the real movers and shakers of the underworld started out as Witches, just like her.
superstylishsquid: (I don't know what to make of it.)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-07 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...she wasn't entirely herself. The Eva who was behind all that was fused with the Qliphoth tree, and I think her goals and desires were twisted to make her basically just a mouthpart for the tree.

The real Eva...she fought alongside Sparda to fend off Mundus' armies.
superstylishsquid: (Why me...)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-07 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it. That whole mess would've been the first you'd even heard of her, so it's pretty different from having met her when she was alive.

...Plus, getting stuck with a certain son of hers before meeting her.
superstylishsquid: (That's pretty adorable.)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-08 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[That? He just laughs at that.]

You know, that is my boss you're talking about...sorta, part-time.

Honestly, I do kinda like him now that we've smoothed things out, but I get where you're coming from. He can be downright obnoxious.
superstylishsquid: (Oh yeah...)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-08 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[...You know what? He can only shrug.]

I know, I know. Careful throwing those stones, though. Most wouldn't exactly consider Hubert a catch.
superstylishsquid: (How interesting.)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-08 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
And that's your glass house, your taste's juuuuust as bad as mine.

I already know we do. You manage to miss the times I flirted with Hubert after actually getting to know him?
superstylishsquid: (How interesting.)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-08-08 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
And here I thought you were smart!

[Incoming noogie, Aoi!]

About thinking none of it was serious, anyway...I'd be throwing stones from a house made of tissue paper if I called it dumb to want Roland up against a wall.

Not sure how well I'd expect it to work out with just the two of you, though...I mean, are either of you interested in domming?

[Nope, he's going to flit around behind Aoi to try using him as an armrest instead. He's far more maneuverable in the air with his own wings than he was with Lucifer's.]

Just enjoying the novelty of dating a sadist this time, huh?

Taking some adjustment, huh? Roland's my first experience with anything actually...well, serious, too.

Never thought it'd be with someone whose job should involve hunting my kind, but...this past year has been a lot of surprises.
