"Oh?" Bored of his reverse petting tactics, Shiro falls back to simply ruffling and mussing up Mephisto's fur for a brief moment. "I didn't agree to feed you. In fact," he grabs the ends of the cravat-turned-collar and pulls them loose from their knot, "I don't see why I should feed you at all! You look plump enough to me."

No resistance is given to the general disarray going on with his fur, but the moment Shiro frees his signature fabric from its rightful place, Mephisto whips around to grab hold of it in an impromptu tug of war.

"I believe I'm owed it," his voice muffled by the fabric he's so diligently trying to retrieve without tearing, "after all your pestering!"

#Eins! Zwei! Drei! - Mephisto #I can't resist my own reflection; Mephisto

While the Ba'al shrieks and wails his insults, Shiro cackles with twisted delight and doubles down on his roughhousing.

All of this torment could be swiftly ended with a simple transformation. Yet, for some reason, Mephisto refuses to utilize his power for that. One could begin to suspect he wants all this horrible, unruly attention.

"She loves me." Shiro wastes no time with spinning Mephisto around on the floor in a complete 180° turn. With this new angle to attack from, he quickly begins petting Mephisto's back in the opposite direction his fur runs, grin widening as the Ba'al's state is further ruined. "Plus, I feed her."

That, of course, would take energy on his part. And we all know how he feels about putting in effort.

"She's got-!!!" a shriek as he's semi-circled around on the floor, "wretched taste. A good meal is nothing to scoff at, however. I suppose I can put up with all this if that's the exchange." As if he weren't putting up with it regardless.

"Doesn't sound like much of an improvement to me." A harsh but fair assessment, even if Jaden loathed speaking of his beloved nibling this way. "What's the point of bolstering his numbers if he can't control any of them? Why haven't you focused on getting him stronger and more capable of handling what he already has?"

"That, good sir, is what cram school is for. Our instructors are more than capable of granting the young lad all he needs to know. Whether he progresses in the matter is entirely up to him. Though I suspect having a role model he idolizes and aims to impress certainly won't hurt his enthusiasm☆"

Semantics: the devil's favorite playground, as evident by how often Mephisto toyed with the concept. But whether the bastard agreed with the idea or not, the fact remained that teachers were supposed to guide their students on how to best use the practices taught in school, not just show them off and let the kids run loose. Good teachers did that, anyway, which is maybe where the heart of the problem really is. After all, if the school is being directed by the likes of Mephisto, then why would it have any decent teachers to run it?

Then again, this god damn academy wouldn't be so highly sought after and prestigious if Mephisto let just any schmuck run the classrooms.

Eugh.

"I think Lewin's hyped up his enthusiasm enough as it is. Kid needs to slow down and get back to the basics, not run ahead of his own skills."

"Under ideal conditions, indeed. Pacing ourselves is not a luxury the current state of the world will afford any of us right now. The American boy's enthusiasm may be his greatest asset."

The brunette released a wry chuckle, before his lips curled into a thin smile,

“You could say that yes…many many things that would cause most in my position to either be excommunicated by the church or executed. Especially given the predicament between Rin and I.” The brunette confessed.

“Do not misconstrue my words. I said you were ‘nicer’ than the Mephisto of my world. Not that you were nice.” Yukio added.

“As per the oxymoron..is not the entire world and even universe a paradox in and of itself?” The brunette questioned looking to the demon.

"Oh? You're asking me?"

"I just think they're neat! Their inhabitants even more so. Humans will forever be entertaining in all they do and all they create~"

The 22 year old had continued to listen while the Time Lord mentioned the Sanrio Sakura outfit line. In some ways, he could not help but wonder---how stoked someone like Mephisto gets when visiting a place like the Hello Kitty Cafe's that many of the students talk about over the years.

"Do the Hello Kitty Cafe's have seasonal themes?" Yukio inquired, before his hand reached into his book bag and pulled out a touch screen tablet. "I can show you some of the armor my avatar has already managed to craft. I can even show you the armor I got from some of the last dungeons I ran." He expressed adjusting his glasses.

"Currently, I am actually trying to get the last pieces of the Cavalier armor set for my shaman half-vampire toon...but..PVP varies depending on how many have managed to finish maxing out their characters by completing the latest dungeons, and how often they raid during the latest expansion release"

"THEY SURE DO!"

"Seasonal, holiday, anniversary. If there's a reason to celebrate, there's a reason to craft merch befitting the event. Would you believe they blind package the items you get with each order. It's genius marketing, and a fantastic excuse to indulge on treats! Though having company would double productivity, and seeing as your curiosity has clearly been piqued, you'll make the perfect candidate for the task!"

The moment the tablet is out, Mephisto looms over Yukio's shoulder to eye the screen. "There's something to be said for having a clear goal left to accomplish with any game. Something to strive for and devote yourself to that keeps you coming back," spoken like a demon who's failed to finish a shocking number of games due not to lack of time, but rather lack of skill.

“I think, I would say a lot of things that many people and exorcists alike would find questionable. Especially if they knew me when I was 16. But the fact remains, between the 2 of you..you still are the nicer one. And if I have a sharp tongue, it’s because I learned it from someone or something. And that someone or something was not you. At least not this incarnation of you.”

"Things that no doubt cause endless frustration and headaches for those at the top. Heh heh."

"That sounds like quite the oxymoron; a nicer demon. I may be on humanity's side, but I'm nothing close to nice."

“I already admitted it to my Dad in this world. But compared to the Mephisto of my world you actually seem a bit—warmer and nicer.”

"HEE HEE HEE! Oh dear me, I can only imagine how Shiro took that. Frankly, I'm surprised you'd say that of any of my alternates- myself included."

obscenely domestic starter sentences "Good news; we have internet again!"

"Oh thank god." As quick as a whip, Dennis pulled out his phone and looked at the upper right hand corner of it, where battery life, cell signal strength, and the blessed, beloved WIFI icon blipped back into place alongside the rest. Then, once he was certain the signal was real and not some kind of cruel hoax, he resumed his TV streaming and laid back down on the couch. "Swear to god if some idiot vampire was messing with the signal..." He grumbled to no one in particular and about no one either. Given some of the things Ronaldo had to say about the menacing vampires in town though, Dennis wouldn't be surprised to hear someone did decide to take down the internet just to be a jerk to the rest of the world.

"Why do I have to do this interview anyway?" He whined, still to no one in particular but also to Draluc since he was nearby and full of answers. "Like, I get Ronaldo is writing another book and I'm apparently interesting to his editor but why? I don't even do anything."

#anotherhumanpet #He's self-centred impulsive and dies in no time - Lord Draluc #He isn’t called Ronaldo the peerless for nothing - Ronaldo

"You say that but there's a vampire who knocks out electronics everywhere she goes. I know. It's weird."

"She cut out my stream when I was on a kill streak!"

"Yea, yea, cram it, we've got work to do." There's a pause. You can almost see Ronaldo working through the worst-case scenarios in his head before he digs a notebook out from a drawer and shoves it into Draluc's hands. "Juuust in case."

Draluc taps his pencil idly against the couch cushions, eyes glancing up to the ceiling as he thinks over Dennis' words, "You're right. On your own you're a pretty average guy, even for a vampire."

"I can't just put THAT down and call it a book!"

"Yet you are a vampire. One whose blood relative is human and a hunter."

"Oh yeah. What's up with that?"

The brunette proceeded to blink a few times, "So--they haven't released one where she is in a pink kimono?" The 22-year-old questioned, as he assumed that was what the 'sakura style' meant.

"I see, it sounds like a very impressive collection," Yukio commented, "What about a Hello Kitty Sakura collection?" He questioned before continuing to speak, "I can one day show you the armor collection that my Shaman in EverQuest 2 can build, along with his familiar collection and collection of mercenaries." He added, while he didn't necessarily speak Otaku Geek..he did know Geek..so hopefully that counted?

"It is! With any sense, they'll add at least one of her pink outfits to the options available. Sanrio has done more than their fair share of pink collections, though the sakura print options are particularly cute!"

"What sorts of outfits do they have?"

"I'm not getting out of this for any reason short of death, am I?"

"Nope!"

"I have plans with Osceola this evening. We're exchanging recipes."

"I'll pass the message along that your date's been rescheduled."

"I don't spend that much time in there. I'm in and out before you or Belial even have time to notice."

"Then you're about to get far better acquainted with its interior. I'll arrange for everything to be brought in this evening. Including you~"

ちくしょう!!

"...Wouldn't it be easier if someone else modeled the outfits? I need to see them for myself too, ya know, and it's hard to analyze them if I'm the one wearing them."

"Surely you've noticed the full-length mirrors in the wardrobe on your many adventures pilfering my yukata, Shiro."
