thank youu!! ahaha here they are, got a little carried away ;;;

"Yes, you are correct, Maka-G..."

"Far too many mortals herded into one facility."

[ibukitten]

"Ibuki has no clue whatever you’re talking about and she doesn’t care!" Her blunt-as-bricks reply is cheerfully thrown along with her meager weight on him. "What happened to ‘Songful One’ hmmmmmm? Ibuki’d rather be called that than just mortal. Ibuki ain’t mortal, she’s a legendary rockstar!"

… Either way, she’s eventually back on her feet, dusting her skirt off triumphantly. God, she’s so happy to see another familiar face from her world. Aside Nanami and Hinata, there are rarely any classmates she can pester at all. "Judging from how your presence couldn’t be sensed in undefinite miles radius for the past weeks, Ibuki supposes you’re new around here. Welcome to Hive City, Gundam-chan!"

[dominus-daemones]

After some disgruntled mumbling, he got back on his feet, readjusting any disheveled clothing. As a sneaky way of showing displeasure at the rockstar's comments, he reached into his scarf to uncloak his singular remaining hamster. Holding it just a bit away from his face, he stroked it's forehead and muttered unintelligible, but unmistakably soothing words to the critter. Only half of his attention remained on Ibuki, and that was the intention. Truly low behavior for a supposed Ascendant Ruler of Ice to blatantly ignore someone. 

"Oh? To tackle someone off their feet and expect proper titles? Such a foolish and spoiled expectation, Songful One. Hmph, perhaps it is the difference in our ranks that causes me to be so ill-minded of your preferences."

Rude. 

He tucked away the now calmed Maka-G and returned his focus to his former classmate, sure that proper justice had been served. Though, his comprehension had suffered due to his choice to pay only half attention. Within seconds, his expression melted into something that closely resembled horror.

"Hive? You mean to tell me we dwell amongst oversized insectoid overlords?! Chaos has truly overtaken the world if something as simple minded as the genus Apis has evolved to rule entire cities... Answer now, mortal! Have I spoken too soon, or has this ill fate cast a shadow over the remains of this ravaged, dystopian society?!"

Goddess…? There was something awfully strange about this human. He knew that she wasn’t just an ordinary cat (even though that much was clear through her red markings). His scar and the way he dressed suggested his intentions might be darker than meets the eye. He was someone to watch carefully, definitely.

"I see…" It would seem that the hamster itself was one of the ‘Dark Gods’. She could faintly smell the rodent from her current position, and from what she could tell, it didn’t exactly smell foreign or evil enough to be an actual ‘Dark God’. Maybe he’s deranged, corrupted by something else…

She climbs down from the ceiling, transitioning from ceiling to wall with ease. Her brush technique was an invaluable way to get around, for sure. “So you’re just a tool to these… Dark Gods.” She tilts her head curiously, trying to understand it all. What if the hamster truly is a god? He knew she was a goddess - so… “Do you have some innate ability to detect whether or not an animal has a characteristic related to godhood? Is that how you know that I am a goddess, and the hamster may be as well? What is its intention?”

[dominus-daemones]

Body-language was his forte, when it came to animals at least. When a creature was faster than the human mind, the only thing saving your life was a prior, yet oh so slight warning by how the animal held itself. Luckily, this wasn't a hostile situation, but there was still a tinge of uneasiness plaguing the atmosphere, and he recognized it. Why it was present, and how to soothe it escaped him at the moment, however.

He chuckled and shook his head at the comment regarding innate ability.

"Higher knowledge and natural ability are far from the same, are they not? To perfect my skills,  I have tamed many evil spirits and traveled far and wide to do so. Each and every conquest has strengthened my ability to see through even the most carefully crafted disguise, and you are no exception, Goddess."

"Soon, even the depths of Hell will bear my mark, and the name Gundam Tanaka will be known and feared throughout the entire surface world! I will not rest until each mortal that dares mistreat their blessings has been crushed under the heel of my boot, nay, even that is too merciful! I will not falter until they have suffered the unholy retribution of the second coming of the Dark Gods of Destruction! To abandon my quest now would be the highest form of treason, and a disappointment to those who have treated me with such unyielding kindness throughout my mission!"

Calming down from his little daydreaming rant episode, he did choose to explain his motives just a little.

"My position as of current, however, does not grant me those privileges. I am no ruler, simply a caretaker. I've raised many Gods from very fragile beginnings, whether malevolent or loving without regard for who they would grow up to be. For in birth, each beast is frail, and undeniably equal. Wouldn't you agree?" 

[dominus-daemones]

"It would be wise of you not to stare, insignificant one."

[dominus-daemones]

"Opting to rest early was obviously a most favorable choice."

[beardedboatman]

“Magic? Dark Gods of Destruction? What the hell are you even talkin’ about? As far as I can tell, that’s a damn hamster, and last time I checked, hamster’s aren’t known for being deities. 

Yer wackier than a fish outta water if you’re thinkin’ that. He looks like a normal ol’ hamster.”

Kenny couldn’t help but not perk up  and say something at this strange kid’s claims. Was he on drugs or something? Or was this some kind of new goddamn religion? 

[dominus-daemones]

"Fool! Do you not know the forces you toy with? You are lucky both I, and the Dark Gods are merciful on the first meeting due to assumed ignorance of the insignificant rabble that plague the streets."

"Next time I highly suggest you bite your tongue, for even less than a direct insult such as these could qualify as the crime of treason. The punishment? Execution."

A brief, dark chuckle escaped his lips. Probably an attempt at intimidation.

"I assure you, this form is merely a disguise. To the untrained eye, he is merely a rodent. One must stare into the abyssal depths of Hell itself at every level and live amongst demons to even attempt to understand their methods! If you succeed, then, and only then, will you recognize one in their vessel."

[ibukitten]

dominus-daemones started following you

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun—daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam—"

"CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~~!!!!"

[dominus-daemones]

"Hn...? That voice, it could only be-"

SLAM.

He stumbled a little from the impact before falling facefirst into the ground below. 

"Refrain from touching me! Do you not know the unrivaled peril and horrors you subject yourself to by doing so?! Foolish mortal, count your blessings and thank your petty God, had you made contact with an uncovered area of my body,"

A pause as he considers his words...

"I will spare you the description, for I do not trust you to be capable of stomaching such...Gruesome details. For now, distance yourself from me immediately!"

[wallgoddess-deactivated20140821]

Kabegami was walking on the ceiling when she heard someone below. She knew that her powers were limited to being used thrice a day, but she couldn’t help herself. The voice below was… not as indulgent as her, it seemed. “Hmm?”

Dark gods of destruction? Orochi? Is this boy a harbinger? - - Was that a hamster? Her pupils dilate, and her tail twitches. “Excuse me, but can you hear me? If you can, do you own that hamster?” He probably found it odd she was walking on the ceiling without a care, but she hardly noticed now that there was a rodent in the picture.

[dominus-daemones]

Interrupted by an odd voice from above wasn't something that happened everyday. Casting a glance upwards, he soon found an odd, cat-like creature standings on the ceiling. So perhaps he hadn't survived after all, and this was the afterlife? He kept a neutral expression, pretending this was all normal in his eyes.

"Just as I can hear many creatures, I am able to comprehend your words loud and clear, dear goddess."

He paused, bringing his other hand up to stroke gently at his beloved pet's forehead, unsure of the feline's intentions. It was both a protective, and subconscious gesture.

"Yes, one of the four Dark Gods. However, I would not use the word own in reference to our relations. I am merely a vessel and a host to sustain them for later, and far greater purposes."

[dominus-daemones]

"Surely if I've awoken in this desolate lair, we've succeeded. I expected no less."

"But with only one of my Dark Gods of Destruction, all of my magic has been rendered futile. I sense that the fate of the universe is uncertain if the rest are slain or left behind."

"Maka-G, we bear the burden of tremendous grief and responsibility." 

[dominus-daemones]

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

"Such bravado, to not only approach a being such as myself, but to question their very foundations? You delve into dark secrets that could destroy the very fabric of your mind and sentence you to a fate of utter insanity, courageous one. Remember that, for this information is the only thing that will save your pathetic existence."

"But alas, my jurisdiction is not the final call! By order of the Dark Gods of Destruction, I will remain silent towards this inquiry. Begone!"
