kusoaruji:

-She really wishes she hadn’t been right.  She doesn’t like this turn in speech, she doesn’t like how he looks dashing but his words contrast every bit of it.-

D-Dios has consciousness now.

I-I’m sorry, but as the one who breathed life into him, I’ve got to defend him.  

If he doesn’t want to go, then he doesn’t want to go.

-She swallows before she’s the one who steps forward to be between them–and to use one of single slip of a barrier seal spell to push him back, she hopes.-

-It probably is no match, but…-

-She has to try, at least.-

As if that matters? Consciousness or no, he has a duty to me. Without me, he would not even be here. He would not have been forged, if not for the Light of the World, the prince.

[He’s not making any sense, but he’s walking closer, too, sword in hand. He’s about to charge forward to make a threat, try and scare her--]

Nhhgh--

[He’s no mage, and he’s no match against real magic. Any power he had is beyond his reach now. He’s pushed back, the sword flying from his hand in his shock. It clatters on the ground as he’s sent stumbling back against his car.]

... you... ignorant child.

[He has no weapon now. No sword. Nothing. Huffing through his nose, he leaps back into his car.]

This isn’t over. The Sword of Dios is mine. He will be mine, no matter what.

[With that, he just. Drives into the fucking ocean? But if you were to look beneath the waves, you wouldn’t be able to find him. Mage or not, he’s always had a penchant for illusions.]

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji:

sekainohate:

[He seems content to let Akio pull him away–until he catches sight of her tears. Tears… tears… back then, the Prince, she–]

Nn… no… no–!

[He finds the strength to push Akio away from him, grasping her hands tightly once more. He falls to his knees before her, still holding onto her.]

I… want… to ha… ve… a fr… free… will… I do… not… want… the End of the World. I want…

You are… the one… who gave me this flesh… therefore… I…

I…

-She looks up at Akio, she’s not sure what’s going on, but she’s sure she’s been betrayed on some level.  Watching Dios’s spirit broken.  She–She honestly hasn’t messed up yet, has she?  She remembers Hasebe telling her to fight on, even when she was in tears.-

Akio, I’m sorry, I-I’ll have to stop you.  I thought he was going to be happy to see you, but…  But something’s wrong.  

There’s something wrong here.

-She’s already curling her hand into a fist–she’s not made for offensive magic, and god knows she’s not meant for fighting in general.  But she can at least push him back.  She hopes it’s not coming to that, and she hopes she’s subtle–but she’s still a magic battery.  She’s almost incapable of being subtle.-

[His eyes, up till now warm and gentle, turn cold. He thought he could maintain his composure, but  the sight before him--the sword, his sword, grasping the hands of someone else... it causes the already-threadbare line holding him back from acting rash to snap.]

[He’s not one for fighting if he doesn’t have to, either. He still as Dios’ blade.]

You... are just as useless to me as you were back then. The way you are now, you wouldn’t even be able to scratch the gate, would you? You wouldn’t be able to do anything but break under the pressure again.

[Those words are meant for Dios, evidently. Suddenly, behind him, the headlights of his car flash brightly, obscuring him in brilliant light.]

[As it fades, his own appearance has changed.]

As for you, Mahina-san...

Please believe me when I say it does not concern you. He is my sword, he always has been, and always will be. He knows the weight of what must be done--he knows why I have brought him here, to give him a body.

He knows what is at stake. He cannot go against me, not now.

I do not wish to fight you.

Simply allow me to take him back. And that will be the end of this.

Because if you do not... I will have to use force.

[chairmanakio]

sekainohate:

[Dios doesn’t move. He can’t gather enough strength in his arms to push him away.]

… I want… the… Prince.

You are…

I have always been the Prince. She could not become one. You remember that.

[His grip around his shoulders gets tighter. Possessive.]

With you... I will regain all that I have lost.

You understand?

[chairmanakio]

[He’s wrapping his arms around Dios, in any case, loosely draping them over his shoulders.]

I’ve waited so long.

[chairmanakio]

[Oh, he’s fucking nutting?]

[chairmanakio]

HNNNgnnngnnnnnnnnnggghnnn….. my widdle toesies…!….….…… uwah/!!/!!!!/!! hhhhhnggmmmggggg.. hhhhhhhhhjnnjhininggggggggggg…. my WIDDLE toesies!!!! ooohhhhh hmmm mmmmmmnnnn… ahhhh!!!!!.!!!!!… …

Your... toes? Your little toesies? What... these?

[Why is anyone fucking surprised.]

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji:

I suppose now’s good…

-She’s already creeping closer to get a look.-

I mean, you’ve been waiting way longer than I have to meet your friend, and it won’t take any moment of my time.

[He allows her to approach, holding the sword out towards her. He peels back more of the cloth for her to see.]

It’s been agony, but I have not wanted to sound needy... but I truly...

I truly cannot bear being unable to speak with him.

Would you like to hold him?

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji:

Good evening!  

Sorry, it’s been so long.  Stuff came up, home destroyed once, life threatened a few times, expelled from my clan, usual things.

–Is that a sword with you?  The sword?

Nothing for you to apologize for, Mahina-san. I hardly think anyone could blame you for being busy...

I at least hope that I am not imposing too much upon you.

Ah, and... yes. This is him. The Sword of Dios. I understand if now is a bad time, but I at least wanted you to meet him.

[He peels back a layer of fabric, showing her the pommel of the blade.]

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji liked your post:[He’s tired of waiting.] [He’s only leaving...

Mahina-san... good evening.

[He’s here with that fucking car again, but this time, he’s holding something wrapped in cloth? It looks ornate, whatever it is.]

[chairmanakio]

[He’s tired of waiting.]

[He’s only leaving himself open, the longer he waits. He needs the sword to be awakened. He needs the Gate to be opened. The longer he’s deprived of his true power, of everything that lies beyond those doors, the longer he aches.]

[chairmanakio]

[He’s been spinning his wheels out of habit. But he really should stop sitting on his laurels--he’s growing quite impatient, after all.]

[And it’s certainly not just him who has been impatient.]

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji:

It’s fine?  I haven’t really heard from many people since I’ve been busy with stuff–I forgot if I’ve even given you my number.

-She looks shy when he references her “radiant smile”–it’s been kind of hard to do that lately.-

I wouldn’t want to just dump my problems onto you after seeing you again!  That’d be pretty rude.

How lonely you must be, then. Even with your servants...

It isn’t rude if I offer, is it? After all, isn’t that what friends are for?

[He smiles, gentle and warm, as he takes a seat. He pats the place next to him invitingly, hoping that she’ll at least sit with him, if nothing else.]

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji:

Oh… nothing really.  Great, timeless evils razing my household, being ejected from my clan until I can prove I’m capable of defeating said great evil.

-A motion out to where the naval base is being worked on.  At least that’s going quickly.-

I didn’t mean to lose contact with you or anything.  Are you well, Akio-san?

[He peeks over towards the naval base, acting surprised, as if he hasn’t been watching from his All-Seeing, All-Knowing Cock Tower.]

I see... how unfortunate. If I’d known, I would have come sooner.

Oh, I’ve only been lonely without your radiant smile. I’ve been well, otherwise... well enough to confide in, if you wish to.

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji:

-How did that car even get on her island there’s no roads?  At all to here?  It’s?  Well she’s magic so hey.  She’ll just write that one off.-

It’s just “Mahina” for now, unfortunately?  But what’s up?  Is something going on?

[He slouches against the wall, hooking one long, spidery leg over the other. His eyebrows raise, looking genuinely shocked at this bit of news.]

Mahina-san, then, if you don’t mind the informality.

Oh, it’s nothing serious. I haven’t heard from you lately... I was worried that, perhaps, you’d lost interest in me.

But it sounds like things have been eventful around here?

[chairmanakio]

kusoaruji liked your post:[He’s been watching everything that’s been going...

[The sound of a car engine falls on your ears. Not loud, but enough to catch one’s attention; there shouldn’t be a car this far out here, nor should it be running like that.]

Pardon the intrusion, Marunaga-san.

[Okay how the hell did he get in here, first of all,]

[chairmanakio]

[He’s been watching everything that’s been going on with the Marunaga girl quite closely.]

[Now would be a good a time as any to get in close. He isn’t sure how well-informed she is about who he truly is, but he, more than anyone, knows just how vulnerable one can be in the face of a crisis.]

[chairmanakio]

The laugh of a middle school girl has never been less terrifying.
