I think it's a little important if you actually remember it. [ tell her about the kiss, coward. ]

You realize saying it that way makes it sound like you're implying Marcoh is made of rats. Is Marcoh made of rats?

[ the kiss doesn't matter because it wasn't out of love... ]

... I don't think so. He just made rats happen. Probably an item.

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-06 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ acceptable. ]

As long as the rats were behaved and occupied the tiny wizards enough, I can't complain.

[ anyway after a short train ride... they are at the corgi car!! and she's stepping in to lead him along. ]

Let's find somewhere comfortable. Once they see what we've brought them, I have a feeling we won't be moving for a while.

Tamed eventually. [ Unsure about Viktor taming the smalls. ] Over there?

[ He points to a patch of greeeen. The dogs aren't all gathered there. Yet. ]

There's good. [ bounds over to the green, looking over her shoulder to make sure he's following before she just settles down on the ground and begins pulling out her treats.

she at least waits until jacopo's seated before she brings her fingers up to her mouth and whistles.




several tiny ears immediately swivel toward them, and the sound of many paws thundering against the ground can be heard. oh lawd they comin'. ]

[ oh fucking god they start assaulting them and crawling over— ]

Why aren't they trained?!

[ it isn't an Actual complaint, really, just for the moment. ]

[ blue, who is probably used to big dogs, immediately just starts laughing at him while adjusting the corgi brigade. ]

They're a free people! What did you expect? I think they're fairly polite all things considered. [ hehehehe? she's adjusting the dogs a little to break off a piece of a biscuit for some of them. ] They're just excited.

[ Jacopo is used to handling some dogs, NOT SO MANY CORGIS. Eventually, he adjusts each other to be laid onto their stomachs or on their back over his legs. There are many of them. ]

They're dogs, Zuriel. [ They aren't a people, even though he treats them better than people. ] Hey—hey!

[ Tries to make some dogs behave when they're sniffing too close to GOODIEs. ]

[ I wish I were them, I would love to be covered in corgis. also unfortunately this is a girl who truly has a "WORMS FOR ALL" sign in her room at home, she's not going to care they're just puppies. ]

Just because they're dogs does that mean they have less rights? [ she is offering zero help and letting the dogs sneef and bully they way closer. her little gaggle of puppies all seem to be happy to wait as she distributes treats. ]
obdure: (pic#17647863)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-04-08 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
They don't need as many rights... They don't pay for lodgings, for food, or water...

[ He has given up. Some of the more excited corgis defeat him and make him their mattress. ]
batterypack: (I know exactly why I walk)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-08 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ they are so right for this. become bed. also, she raises an eyebrow even higher. a few of her corgi crew realize this man is waving a white flag and trot over to investigate. ]

You didn't pay for any of those things here either, you know.
obdure: (pic#17647828)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-04-08 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you going to charge us before we go?

[ That would be so funny, actually, is what comes through in the dry mirth in his voice. Gives one dog a treat. ]
batterypack: (It has no appeal)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-09 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
You'll have to settle your debts before you board your train out tomorrow. [ hehe. honestly it would be funny but also she hates the idea, so it's fine to joke about it. ]

I'll admit that it is going to be strange going back and having to actually plan for things though. [ budgeting... annoying... ]
obdure: (pic#17647845)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-04-09 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I think my ledger here in Heaven has been clean. I haven't broken anything.

[ Or killed anyone? Instead, he's being crushed by dogs instead. ]

That's right. You'll need to actually budget, won't you... I can't say I missed resource management, either. It was a headache most of the time.
batterypack: (I just want to make a change)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-09 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess you were more well behaved than others. [ she says to a man who got beheaded. ] But you do still have tonight for things to change.

[ she makes a face. ]

Depending how much I can bring back with me, I might need to readjust ours for our roadtrip. I know they could both afford whatever changes but it's the principle of the matter. As for you... you would just have to relearn after reincarnation, wouldn't you?
obdure: (pic#17647812)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-04-09 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, expecting me to be a troublemaker? That's insulting.

[ Not really. He was crooked lord, so it is funny. ]

Principles are important and you should bring around your share. [ Jacopo does value it, sometimes to ridiculous degrees... Sometimes... You are easily goaded. ] Right—that's a problem for me when I get there, not now.

[ IT'S TIME TO BE ONE WITH THE EARTH. ]
batterypack: (And with the black banners raised)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-10 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
There are plenty of ways for you to be trouble without them solely being your idea, Jacopo. I've seen the people you spend your time with.

[ all of you are so much. ]

Thank you. [ the man gets it! she gets so fucking fussy if she isn't allowed to pay for her own stuff but this is how they end up eating so many cheap convenience store snacks at home. ] You do have time for a break. That's... a good thing, right? You'll have time for pause before going to find that girl, and then more time after that before reincarnation.

... I don't know what you're talking about.

[ Him, scanning the company he keeps, thinking the few he selects are so annoying. He is unaware about all the curses they've done. ]

People don't feel like they're a part of something with contributing somehow. [ Yeah, he gets it. He doesn't want to take handouts, even if in some cases you can't afford not to. ] ... I'll start searching after this project ends, so not too long of a break. It is still one.

My plans have changed a bit—I think I may join Claude after I apologize to Morgana, but...

[ There's like an uncertainty in emotionshare. ]
batterypack: (TV taught me how to feel)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-10 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ they can see everything, man, idk what to tell you. she just hums in a way that says "yeah okay" but moves on. ]

What's the point in partaking if you're not contributing your share? I think the same can be said about anything though. [ but... ah? ] Oh? Not that I think that's necessarily a bad idea—[ because her claude bias is, unfortunately, to the moon. ]—but what changed?

[ she can sense the uncertainty and thinks maybe talking it out will help ease him into the idea. ]
obdure: (pic#17715077)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-04-10 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That perhaps HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE? And it all happens by CHANCE? He wouldn't say he's close with most people here. ]

He offered. [ It's really that simple. ] His proposal was a little pathetic, a little desperate, but still effective.

[ Because Jacopo is also soft... And doesn't want leave someone who asks for him alone. ]

But... I... Have a premonition, maybe. Dreams, I feel like we've talked about. [ Which while he didn't admonish them, he didn't quite believe them, either. It's ridiculous when it comes to himself. ] They may be nothing.
batterypack: (I know exactly why I walk)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-10 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds about right for him. [ she is so fond of this man but she also knows he's a little pathetic and kind of a baby and she's okay with that. claude sometimes is emotionally fragile and worries about how people see him, so she can only guess how the conversation went. ]

I do remember this. We talked about it briefly but... there was a lot happening it was difficult to delve into it. [ a considerable pause. ] But there's a little more time now if you felt like talking about it more? I think you know how I feel about dreams.
obdure: (pic#17647750)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-04-10 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he does think claude is delicate... even though he himself is delicate ]

So much happens here. [ He thinks it'd be nice if things out of their control happened less. ] ... I suppose if anyone had more insight, then it would be you.

But I don't really know how to elaborate on any of it. It just feels like... Something will happen when I meet Morgana. Maybe it's just all of these effects making me think so.

[ Doesn't have it in him to say it feels like a bad omen since finding her is his top priority. ]
batterypack: (And days are always making you blue)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-11 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You can thank Satan for that. [ she sounds kind of mad, actually. she can recognize that something happened here but also be upset how much happened and why it happened. ] At least it should be more peaceful when you return.

[ but she listens, and she kind of picks up on the idea that he feels like it may not be the best omen more in what he doesn't say than in what he does. so she's quietly searching his face before she nods. ]

It's possible. It's been a long eight weeks, but... I suppose the best advice would be to do everything you wish to do and say everything that needs to be said before you go to find her. Just in case. It's easier to face something big like that when you're more confident your affairs are in order.
obdure: (pic#17714092)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-04-11 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Satan. Wherever you are, I wish you all the bad luck.

[ In such a dry tone. He is unhappy, but wasn't sure how to act when Satan showed up being a laidback girl that Jonas knows. Still frustrated, still angry, but quiet.

He's silent and looks up at her when she searches his face. He wonders what kind of face is he making? What can she see? What do... People even see in him? Does his expression show that he's hesitant?
]

Wise words. [ There's a weird finality to it that he doesn't define. ] You're right... That is the least I can do with whatever affairs I do have.

[ Not too sure about doing it, in spite of knowing she's right. ]
batterypack: (Better find another superstition)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-04-11 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Amen. [ equally dry. listen, she is aware jonas has a lot to deal with given the whole alex situation, but that is simply not her business until he asks for their opinion. she thinks it's right and fair for people to be upset.

nevertheless she remains patient as she waits for him to respond, doing nothing to prompt him along. it's a conclusion he has to reach for himself. ]


...my mom and I always go to a specific church during St. Mark's Eve back home. It's the one evening where spirits are seen walking along the corpse road, and you can tell when someone will die that year. If they're clients of ours, we tell them so they have time to prepare themselves. I don't think this is any different. But it really is your call in the end.
