Hello there, welcome to rp hell. 8)

[egynfishlord]

midst-anima:

Laura eyed Lidia. Was the term ‘girls’ really that bad? Must of been a preference thing, pretty extreme, but whatever, they looked pissed now and that was more fun. Laura grinned. “Ya feelin’ like givin’ ‘im that black eye yurself now?” Asking as she cracked her knuckles.

Shit! He’d messed up bad, it only took a second for Egyn to see his mistake, to see just where he’d messed up this time. As his face continued to pale, continued to grow afraid of what was to come, the water demon swallowed shakily as words next to inaudible slipped from trembling lips. 

“L-Lidia…I…I a-a-apologize…Umm….p-please do n-not attack me…L-Laura…w-why…what…w-what was wrong w-with my eyes to…to have you w-want to a-attack me…?”

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia glanced at this Laura person for a moment, deciding whether to answer her or not. “Just one.” 

Lidia immediately moved to bend the king’s left arm behind him and whispered into his ear in that haunting, melodic voice that gave away their siren abilities. 

‘Hush, don’t speak. When you spit your venom keep it shut. I hate it when you hiss and preach.’ Lidia glanced over at Laura as they held the demon king tight.

‘Hit him with your best shot! Fire away!!’

[egynfishlord]

Continued from here. 

Staring at the two as they conversed with each other, the demon could feel a bead of sweat run down his back, as a trace of worry began to take rest within his mind. It was never good when two aggressive creatures conversed…Well never good for the pray. So with a hint of dread laced deep in his soft voice, the King asked as cyan eyes lost their previous shine, having grown aware of the danger. 

“…Umm…I…I s-see…No n-need for v-violence g-girls…” 

@midst-anima , @rptrashqueen​

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia froze. They took one careful step to the side and turned towards the demon king slowly. So very slowly. Their eyes were blank and their lips were drawn into a tight line.

“Who else were you referring to with that ‘girls’ comment, you insignificant little waste of Satanic DNA?” They were pissed to hell and back. Pun not intended.

“I…I think that both Laura a-and this other person…a-are both v-very cruel yet…yet beautiful…” ~~~

@rptrashqueen(Somehow Lidia was dragged into this.)

[rptrashqueen]

Looks at this reply.

“… Anyways.”

[midst-anima]

“I don’t, quite like that look he’s got in ‘is eyes. What’do ya say ta breakin’ his nose while I crack a rib?”

[rptrashqueen]

“Eh. I’ll hold him down for you if you want. I’m in the middle of texting an informant.” They gestured to their phone. “See if you can give him a black eye for me, though.”

Looks at this reply.

“... Anyways.”

[egynfishlord]

“Yes…Ha-Hanatamago-Sensei…” Egyn yelped in surprise, not at all expecting Lidia to drap their arm around him, nor the seemingly nice words from his new teacher. “What…What will the first lesson b-be…?” The Cyan-eyed Prince asked as he nuzzled his head of brilliant blue lightly into the teens shoulder. In a way mostly hoping that the usually cruel and seemingly heartless person would accept the act of affection.

[rptrashqueen]

They patted Egyn’s head and looked up at nothing in particular as they thought. “Well, I guess the first lesson for you would be learning how to curse without getting flustered. Then maybe I can teach you to say your words with some conviction. That way you don’t sound like a three year old accidentally saying ‘fuck’.”

Lidia removed their arm from his shoulder and tapped their chin. “Hmm, we should start by seeing where your current comfort level is. Quick, what’s the one naughty word that you can say without feeling embarrassed?!” They whipped around and pointed at the king expectantly.

[egynfishlord]

“Hey…You…B-bitch…Umm No n-nevermind…I…I apologize p-p-please do n-not kill me…” @rptrashqueen

[rptrashqueen]

“Ooooh my gooood.” They were on the floor dying of laughter because that was weak as fuck. 

“That was terrible!!! Holy shit, just for that I think I might help you learn how to really insult someone and not… Do whatever the fuck that was!” More cackling.

[egynfishlord]

Face turning beat red from his ‘friends’ burst of laughter, Egyn whimpered softly as he thought over what he’d just said. “Oh…Umm… S-should I call you Lidia-sensei?” The words where bearly a whisper, but the Prince was sure they could hear him. “T-teachers…And T-tutors to Nobles and D-Demon Kings…They get special ranks and peaks…” He said, pausing for no more then a second. “Even…Even access to classified notes and documents…”

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia snapped up, a glint in their eye and a sinister smirk on their face. 

“Sign me the fuck up.” They said in no uncertain terms. The teen stood up and drapped an arm around the demon king. “Call me Hanatamago-Sensei from now on, buddy.”

They knew they kept this lousy king alive for a reason!

[egynfishlord]

“Hey…You…B-bitch…Umm No n-nevermind…I…I apologize p-p-please do n-not kill me…” @rptrashqueen

“That was terrible!!! Holy shit, just for that I think I might help you learn how to really insult someone and not... Do whatever the fuck that was!” More cackling.

[egynfishlord]

"You are giant baby."- Lidia(rptrashqueen)

“W-what? T-that was mean…”

“…W-why…Why w-would you say that…?”

@rptrashqueen

[rptrashqueen]

“Cause it’s true as fuck, bitch. Lmao.”

[egynfishlord]

rptrashqueen:

“… Anyways.” Lidia is not very nice. Also doesn’t think they are pretty. More like awful.

“…You are…Y-you are beautiful…” The small bluenette ready did mean what he said, yes he is a demon and a liar but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to speak the truth about someone’s beauty 

Well, they can be as mean as they want to the Fishy.

[rptrashqueen]

“Please stop.” They huffed as they slipped down their mask. It was a cheap, plastic mask reminiscent of Jason Voorhees from the ‘Friday the Thirteenth’ movies. They pulled out a fake bloodied knife from the tattered and fake blood-stained remains of a letter man jacket they wore over an equally fake blood-stained white dress. 

“If you’re gonna bug me the least you can do is make yourself look more demonish and grab a pillowcase. I’m going trick or treating and I don’t need you distracting me.” They held up an off white pillowcase and stared at Egyn with a bored expression.

[egynfishlord]

“…L-Lidia…You are pretty…”

@rptrashqueen

[rptrashqueen]

"... Anyways." Lidia is not very nice. Also doesn't think they are pretty. More like awful.

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia had to remind themself that they were in public and causing a scene with a demon king potentially in the middle of it was the worst possible idea that could ever be concieved. Ever. They took a deep breath, brought their hands together as if to pray, and then pointed their hands at Egyn whilst looking at him sharply.

“Boi.” Was all they said as they allowed a moment of silence to pass the two.

“Call yourself ‘boring’ or anything else similar to that again around me and we are going to have problems.” They wat they emphasized problems made the room go cold for a few seconds.

“Tell me stuff like your favorite color or how your childhood was or secret combos to Samael’s private documents safe.” They said the sentence fairly quickly and nonchalantly, as if they didn’t just say something suspicious.

[egynfishlord]

Looking almost dumbstruck by the blunt call out of calling himself boring, he found himself only able to really blink in surprise, words having completely failed him once again…But when didn’t they? It wasn’t until their drinks came that the fairly small demon was pushed back into reality, so while awkwardly stumbling with his hands to hold his drink Egyn responded, his voice tiny with unease. “Well…I g-guess…Umm…I a-am unable to tell you something so important b-but…My f-favourite colour is w-white…Umm…My…My childhood…” After the word left his lips, the Princes eyes dulled while thinking back in his past, not wanting to remember the past or those in it. “…My childhood was…Tragic…” 

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia frowned at the words. Mostly because they couldn't looney toon a password out of the king but also because the last words resonated with them in very unlikable ways.

"Join the club buddy. My childhood was a mess too." They took a sip from their drink and stared into the glass. Their expression darkened as they thought back to that cold cell; phantom pains rising back into their throat. They touched the noticable lightly.

"A real big, fucking mess." They grumbled.

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia glanced up at the king and flagged down the waitress for him. They looked back down at their phone and glowered at it. This dumbass contact was really annoying.

They put the phone away and looked at Egyn. Boredom is never easy to alleviate so they guessed that having the demon king was a good way to not be bored.

“Tell me something about yourself. Anything.”

[egynfishlord]

The person wanted to know about him? But why? He was boring and dull, most certainly not good for conversation. Of course, there wasn’t any proof to him being those things but the small blue-eyed King really did think it. “Umm, I…I a-am very b-boring…W-what would y-you like to know?” Once he was done responding to Lidia, he then looked to the waitress and placed his order for a water and a Chicken and mayo sandwich with no vegetables. Right after looking back to his company.

[rptrashqueen]

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia glanced at him with uncaring eyes and then turned to the waitress.

“Give him a few minutes?” They asked and the waitress nodded, turning to place Lidia’s order on the counter into the kitchen and taking the orders of other patrons.

“Take your time. There is no rush.” They looked down at their cellphone, texting.

[egynfishlord]

“Umm, a-alright…” Was the only thing he said before looking down to the menu until something caught his eyes. Placing done the menu in hand, the King whispered softly, relieved to finally know what he wanted. “I a-am ready to order…” With that, he began to wait for the waitress to come around again, much too timid to call for her like some would.

[rptrashqueen]

Lidia glanced up at the king and flagged down the waitress for him. They looked back down at their phone and glowered at it. This dumbass contact was really annoying.

They put the phone away and looked at Egyn. Boredom is never easy to alleviate so they guessed that having the demon king was a good way to not be bored.

"Tell me something about yourself. Anything."

[rptrashqueen]

Meizhang stared at him for a moment, as if considering what he had said before cracking a smile. “You might be onto something Rin!”

She hastily put flags around the spot, giving it as wide an area as possible. She frowned as his last statement but felt that she couldn’t judge him for his feelings. Great king Satan was a firm ruler and many of his achievements were exaggerated in the worst light usually. Living amongst humans, even by the queen’s side, has obviously warped his views of his father. Which was sad. He didn’t even know of Winter’ Gift.

“I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s too bad you might not see Gehenna soon. It’s beautiful this time of year in my home town there.” She mused listlessly as she roughly shoved a stick into the dirt.

“This should do. Thank you for the help.” She nodded to him as they finished up.

Meizhang looked at the seemingly normal spot they just encircled with tiny flags with calculating and analyzing eyes.

“I’ll crack this mystery yet.” She was mostly talking to herself at this point.

[blueforestfires]

Rin grinned widely, flame horns flaring. “You really think so?” He felt very proud of being able to actually come up with an explanation that sounded good to Meizhang.

“I’m sorry I feel that way, too.” His voice was soft, but wavered the tiniest bit as he stood up. There was nothing he wanted more than to go back to the blind admiration for his father he’d had as a child, but what he knew now made that impossible. His father saw him only as an experiment. A potential vessel. Staying out of Gehenna was simply self-preservation.

Rin gave the half-naiad a small, only slightly artificial smile. “I’m sure it is. What is it like? Your hometown, I mean,” he said, tone light and warm once again. Even if he could never go for his own safety, he still wanted to know what he could about Gehenna and possibly experience it vicariously. “What is Gehenna like compared to Assiah? I’ve tried asking other demons, but nobody ever gives me a really good answer.” Granted, he didn’t come across sentient demons capable of conversation very often…

[rptrashqueen]

Meizhang smiled sadly at him. She looked to the floor for a moment, standing in place as memories of home came back. She shut her eyes and her smile was suddenly brighter.

"I lived in a small town under Egyn's territory. The area is similar to that of north eastern Asia here; I even grew up in the Gehennan equivalent of China. My town was near the sea, a fishing community of water and ice demons living quietly. My grandmother is a shop owner there. She makes the best jewelry. My friends and I would always play by the beach and convincing passing groups of kraken to juggle us. Heh, just like the ones at the fair each year in the capital! The waters are this amazing shade of deep blue. The ocean water here in Assiah is a very light cerulean but in Gehenna it's almost navy. When the red sun sets, and that endless blanket of pitch covers the water it's like looking at two night skies. The constellations are in different places in Gehenna but they're all so beautiful. And this isn't mentioning the silver woods a little more inland and the crystal peonies my old neighbors would get from passing traders!"

Meizhang opened her eyes but kept then glued to the floor.

"I miss home."

She looked up at Rin with a big smile. "I hope that helped!"

[rptrashqueen]

Meizhang bit her lip, brow scrunching together in thought. The half naiad looked back at the parallax point and hummed to herself. She reached out a hand towards the spot of the mirage and watched it blur slightly. She pulled it back and looked down at the ground, blinking.

“I don’t think so, Rin. We came through this opening. We walked right through this parallax point. Just look at the ground, those are our footprints.” She pointed at the soft dirt and the imprints of her shoes. She turned back to Rin and sighed.

“My guess is that unless you actively seek out these parallax points, they won’t work? This needs more tests. Can you help me tag this area? I need to set up a barrier around the point so as to mark it for later.” She grabbed her bag and took tiny flags out of the bigger pocket.

“Normally I use these to tag bigger samples I can’t carry but we beed to create a perimeter around this.” She looked at him.

“Are you okay? This kind of thing can weigh heavily on a person.”

[blueforestfires]

The anxiety he felt in the bottom of his gut dissipated, leaving behind a feeling of relief. “So it’s less like a full portal and more like a window…” If all parallax points were too small for a person to accidentally travel though, Rin didn’t feel quite as nervous about accidentally walking into one. He still stayed well away from the parallax point, as if Satan would be able to sense even the slightest hint of his presence in Gehenna and pull him in somehow.

“The mushroom got through, and I don’t think it could actively seek out anything,” Rin said, scratching his head; Gehennan fungi was weird, but he didn’t think the one they’d found was sentient. “Maybe you have to be able to fully fit into it to work, and this one isn’t people-sized…”

“Th-That’s just what I’m guessing, though. You know a lot more about this than I do,” he said quickly, his face pink as he grabbed a few flags and began planting them around the parallax point. 

Rin paused for a few moments, ears pressed flat against his skull. “I-I guess the idea of accidentally stepping into Gehenna and not even knowing it scared me,” he admitted quietly, fidgeting with one of the little flags. “I’ve never been to Gehenna, but I know that if I went, Satan would never let me leave.” He would never see his mother or brother again, and Satan would do who-knows-what with him. “I… would like to delay meeting my father for as long as I can.” Preferably until he was strong enough to hold his own, like some of his elder brothers residing in Assiah.

[rptrashqueen]

Meizhang stared at him for a moment, as if considering what he had said before cracking a smile. "You might be onto something Rin!"

She hastily put flags around the spot, giving it as wide an area as possible. She frowned as his last statement but felt that she couldn't judge him for his feelings. Great king Satan was a firm ruler and many of his achievements were exaggerated in the worst light usually. Living amongst humans, even by the queen's side, has obviously warped his views of his father. Which was sad. He didn't even know of Winter' Gift.

"I'll crack this mystery yet." She was mostly talking to herself at this point.

[rptrashqueen]

“Rin, what happens when you hold your finger close to your face while standing in front of, say, a pole? If you stare directly at your finger, the pole in the background does what? It displaces; in other words it seemingly splits into two blurry halves. Right?”

Meizhang broke her focus to look at Rin. As she stared at him she noticed distortion behind him. Bingo.

“That blurred effect caused by our eyes is known as parallax. It’s scientifically described as a visual displacement of an object relative to one’s line of sight. My Parallax hypothesis is that our realities work in a similar fashion. If you can train your eyes on one point then a distortion or a wobbling of the space behind it should appear, revealing natural gateways between Assiah and Gehnna.” She moved a little closer to him and the distortion in the background became greater.

“I had theorized that it was through this that many Assiahns from the ancient world, such as the epic poet Dante and the greek hero Odysseus, had reportedly visited ‘a world beyond their own’.” She stopped and looked up at the distortion, causing its ripples to disappear from her view. It was still there, she knew it.

Meizhang looked at Rin and smiled apologetically.

“Sorry if none of that made sense. But maybe if you saw one for yourself you’d be able to get a better idea. Here, stand in front of me and focus your eyes on me but pay attention to the way the space behind me gets all wierd.” She grabbed his shoulders and geared him around, standing in his place and smiling at him.

“Go ahead. Give it a shot.”

[blueforestfires]

It took Rin a few moments of silent thought to process what Meizhang was saying and to think of it in terms that were easier to understand for him. “So… there’s a portal to Gehenna somewhere around here, and you can only see it by not looking at it?” Okay, that still sounded confusing, but a little bit better. After thinking about it a bit more, an unsettling thought struck him. “W-Wait, does that mean someone could just accidentally walk into Gehenna and not even know it?”

He’d passed through this part of his forest countless times, completely unaware of the natural portal. Sure, this place sometimes felt kind of off, but he’d attributed it to the fact that rot demons liked to hang around this spot. How many times had he almost blindly wandered into Gehenna? How close had he been to walking right into his father’s grasp without even knowing it? The thought spent chills down his spine and set the fur on his tail on end.

As instructed, Rin focused on Meizhang, but also tried to pay attention to what was going on behind her. The background blurred, and the half-demon’s jaw dropped; on one side, he could see the normal landscape, but on the other… well, it definitely wasn’t Assiah. It was almost like a slightly twisted mirror image of what was before him, just as he’d been told of Gehenna. Fascinated, his focus moved to the background— only for the phenomenon to instantly disappear from sight.

“That was Gehenna?” His voice was soft and filled with awe; although he had never been to Gehenna and didn’t particularly want to go anytime soon, he’d still been curious about the other world. It was the homeland of demons, after all, and that made Gehenna an important part of his heritage that he’d missed out on.

[rptrashqueen]

Meizhang bit her lip, brow scrunching together in thought. The half naiad looked back at the parallax point and hummed to herself. She reached out a hand towards the spot of the mirage and watched it blur slightly. She pulled it back and looked down at the ground, blinking.

"I don't think so, Rin. We came through this opening. We walked right through this parallax point. Just look at the ground, those are our footprints." She pointed at the soft dirt and the imprints of her shoes. She turned back to Rin and sighed.

"Normally I use these to tag bigger samples I can't carry but we beed to create a perimeter around this." She looked at him.

"Are you okay? This kind of thing can weigh heavily on a person."

[rptrashqueen]

“Oh Rin, it has everything to do with my Parallax hypothesis!!” She excitedly exclaimed as she frantically searched around the surrounding area. She had plastic baggies in each of her hands and determination firing up in her eyes.

As she looked she made sure to stop every few minutes to check the air. Meizhang focused her eyes and looked out at nothing in particular. She squinted her eyes, trying to find it. If she could find it then it would be more evidence for her hypothesis. She could end up turning it into a theory if she could do this!

“Would you like me to tell you what it is? A parallax point or my parallax hypothesis? It’s all quite interesting and I promise to make it easy to understand. ” She told her companion as she kept staring out into the open.

Just a little more and maybe she could see it.

[blueforestfires]

“Th-that’d be really nice, thank you,” he said softly, relieved that Meizhang hadn’t brought up his botched pronunciation; she seemed to be too distracted with… staring into thin air? Was there something he was supposed to be seeing?

Rin began to look around as well, unsure of what he should be looking for but still wanting to help. “Um… what are you looking for? One of those pair of wax things?”

[rptrashqueen]

"Rin, what happens when you hold your finger close to your face while standing in front of, say, a pole? If you stare directly at your finger, the pole in the background does what? It displaces; in other words it seemingly splits into two blurry halves. Right?"
