I was still part of you back then, so... it's more your problem than mine, I'm afraid.

[auguryofinnocence]

Thank you for your undying support.

[selfpreservationist]

You're welcome.

[auguryofinnocence]

Make up your mind whether you want to lay claim to things in my life or not.

[selfpreservationist]

... it was meant to be a joke, Vergil. Fear not, I'm still part of you.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He waves a hand.]

So was I.

[selfpreservationist]

[no YOU'RE the joke]

...

Well then, it... appears we're both comedians.

[auguryofinnocence]

And not very good at it. Better find a new career.

[selfpreservationist]

[snorts]

As if we're fit for anything other than demon extermination.

[spardas don't know how to be people, they only know how to be wepon]

[auguryofinnocence]

[Yeah that sounds about right.]

I don't know, Dante seems to think he can be both.

[selfpreservationist]

Yes, but he's the only one who thinks he can do so successfully.

[takes out his phone]

[auguryofinnocence]

...Going to buy one yourself?

[selfpreservationist]

I'm considering it. Now that I know our memories are intertwined, it may be as beneficial for you as it is for me.

[auguryofinnocence]

You're only just beginning to think that? You've had mine, I've had Urizen, obviously I would have you too. Do go on.

It wasn't that obvious.

[but he's going to load up a memory and click 'purchase']

[selfpreservationist]

[and right about now is when the downside to that becomes vividly, painfully clear (cw torture)

[Oh- oh. He's seen some of this. But nothing can really prepare him for it. Even though he isn't experiencing it himself, he shivers just to see it, his breath staggers. He seeks out Raven's wrist instinctively.]

...R...aven...

[He's too shell shocked to do anything else really, just staring, shuddering at the reminder of his own memories of this.]

[selfpreservationist]

[raven's pliant and unmoving, his eyes glassy like he's disassociating, all the color having drained from his cheeks. he lets out a hollow gasp when vergil touches his wrist, like he's gasping for air all of a sudden, but he doesn't recoil or try to pull his hand away.

not all faculties are presently working, please try again later]

[rollplayinghouse]

[Wow she hates it.


She has to stare at the screen for a few moments before coming over to him.]

Raven...

[selfpreservationist]

[he doesn't respond, only shuddering and letting out a wheezing, ragged breath]

[420blazeit]

[ her hand is immediately on his back, expression blank, but boy are her emotions all over the place... mostly anger. ] Raven, [ said softly. ] c’Mere. [ tries to steer him into her. ]

[selfpreservationist]

[he doesn't respond, but he's pliant and easily moved. the only sound he's making is a gasping, wheezing noise, his gaze unfocused]

[maryhadalilgun]

[ holy fucking shit you two ]

Hell...

[selfpreservationist]

[we're sorry the old raven can't come to the phone right now. why? oh, cause he's dead*!








*traumatized]

[softlyfalling]

[ oh she stopped by for dad-in-law but also

aaaaaaaa???? ]

...Raven.
