HungryLikeThe: /just suddenly, he understands why Delusi is so grumpy
HungryLikeThe: You're jealous cuz Deimos is all on me, ain't you?
forgettable: /woW I am not

HungryLikeThe: Um. Sorry about that, Delusi.
Hunnybun: .......

HungryLikeThe: He's kind of a bad person. Um, well, not bad, but selfish.
certainty: /wow I wasnt asking u
certainty: /he's lookin at Delusi
HungryLikeThe: /WELL HE KNOWS DEIMOS BETTER
HungryLikeThe: /And he's dumb
certainty: /SPEAK WHEN YOU'RE SPOKEN TO
HungryLikeThe: /I DO WHAT I WANT YOU'RE NOT MY DAD

HungryLikeThe: /8I
Hunnybun: /if anyone has every wondered what a troll on the edge of mental breakdown looks like...
Hunnybun: /welp. there you go.

HungryLikeThe: /how do fix? Hugs fix everything, right?

certainty: Calm yourself.
Hunnybun: c-calm....?
Hunnybun: /he looks over with eyes stuck wide, pupils pinpricked./
Hunnybun: h-h-how?
HungryLikeThe: Breathe?
certainty: Yes.
HungryLikeThe: It's okay! I mean, it's not okay, that was a pretty dick move, but you're gonna be okay.
HungryLikeThe: /gonna just lightly touch Delusi's shoulder/
certainty: You should not let behavior like his ruin your life. You seem to be a well intentioned person.
certainty: /pats
Hunnybun: have... h-have either of you...
Hunnybun: zzzzeen another verzzzion of him?
HungryLikeThe: /shakes his head/
certainty: Only his backside. /GAIUS
Hunnybun: .... oh.
HungryLikeThe: ...Dude.
Hunnybun: /sits./
HungryLikeThe: Innuendo ain't gonna help.
HungryLikeThe: /Can Arty pull Delusi into his lap?
Hunnybun: zzzo then... it had to have been him? or...
Hunnybun: /he can try but uh... maybe he shouldn't/
certainty: What do you mean? /also shh never a bad time for a terrible joke
Hunnybun: m-maybe... maybe he wazzz lying, or... there izzz zzzomeone who can wear another'zzz fazzze?
HungryLikeThe: Well, it means you talkin' 'bout his ass when poor Delusi's all heartbroken is a dick move.
certainty: /NOT THAT
HungryLikeThe: 'Specially in the context of YOU seein' it.
certainty: /HE'S NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO YOU
certainty: /GOd
HungryLikeThe: /WELL IT WAS A DICK MOVE
HungryLikeThe: Dude, I mean it. Deimos is a selfish guy, an' he ain't good at feelings.
certainty: If you are trying to determine whether the Deimos you know is the sort to fool around with others,
certainty: I unfortunately have to tell you that he is.
HungryLikeThe: I'm sorry, that's just him.
Hunnybun: /shakes his head rapidly, curling up in a ball/ n-no... no it izzzz not that exzzzactly...
certainty: Then I am not sure what it is you are asking.
certainty: I do not know your situation.
Hunnybun: but if he zzzemed to care... it would eazzzier to think it couldn't have been... when... /shudders/
HungryLikeThe: He does care, he's just... not good at it.
certainty: What is it you want from him?
Hunnybun: (Buckle in gents, we've all just stumbled into a "Very special episode")
HungryLikeThe: You saw him bein' all rough with me. That's just how he is.
Hunnybun: /is trying oh so hard to breath normally. we swear./
Hunnybun: r-rough izzz... normal for him...?
Hunnybun: (Legit I did not intend to derail this game. OTL)
certainty: /no this is fun
HungryLikeThe: Yeah. He bites an' swats an' shoves at me all the time. S'how I know he loves me, see?
Hunnybun: how... h-how he... lovezzzzz?
HungryLikeThe: /Arty is super okay with this! And Gnome is too
certainty: /Answer my question u fucking grey child
Hunnybun: i don't... don't know what i want from him. or wanted...
certainty: Perhaps that is part of the problem.
HungryLikeThe: Yeah. You should always know what you want.
Hunnybun: zzztill... if roughnezzzz izzz how he zzzhowzz love...
certainty: Deimos in my experience is not someone who makes his motives clear,
certainty: so you should know what it is you want from him.
Hunnybun: /He... smiles? We'll call that a smile. in a very loose use of the word. Mmmyep./
certainty: What is your relationship towards him?
Hunnybun: then he muzzzzt be completely zzzzzzmitten with me.
certainty: /hahahaahaha
certainty: /not ic
HungryLikeThe: Uhhhhhhh
HungryLikeThe: No.
certainty: Artemis, be quiet.
HungryLikeThe: He's probably kinda pissed right now, actually, cuz you pitched a fit in public.
certainty: /SHH
HungryLikeThe: /looks at Gaius/ 'Scuse you, I known him longer.
Hunnybun: /blinks at Arty, still wearing that "smile" that doesn't reach his eyes./
HungryLikeThe: Yeah, it's gonna hurt the guy, but shit, better he hears now than later.
certainty: /STOP SAYING THINGS AFTER I ASK QUESTIONS
Hunnybun: if he doezzzzn't love me, why would he do what he did?
Hunnybun: if roughnezzzz izzz hizzz love...
HungryLikeThe: Because you made his shit public.
certainty: Your advice is not helpful until we know what their relationship is.
Hunnybun: /shakes head./ i'm not talking about juzzzt now...
Hunnybun: zzzzomething he did before.
Hunnybun: at leazzzt... i think it wazzz him...
HungryLikeThe: /waves his hands/
HungryLikeThe: Look, whatever, I don't care. You should talk to Deimos about it.
HungryLikeThe: In private.
Hunnybun: but no one'zzz zzzeen another him, and you said he zzzhowzz love through violenzzze...?
certainty: /nods
Hunnybun: no!
Hunnybun: until i know the anzzzzwer it izzz not zzzzafe to be alone with him!
certainty: ... Regardless of your relationship /since you didnt answer
certainty: I do not think that sort of behavior is desireable or worth pursuing.
certainty: If he has hurt you in some way you perhaps should reconsider your goal here.
HungryLikeThe: Look, he ain't super violent, he's just rough. Pushin', shovin', that kinda thing.
Hunnybun: i need to know if it wazzz him or if i am going inzzzzane. /flatly/
HungryLikeThe: If he's done worse, then... /shrugs/
Hunnybun: but... hizzz eyezzz were... wrong.
certainty: If what was him?
Hunnybun: if it wazzz him who did not lizzten when i zzzaid "no".
HungryLikeThe: Then maybe it weren't him. I ain't always around a lot. There could be another him.
Hunnybun: (*Makes whislting sound followed by bomb explosion*)
HungryLikeThe: ...I don't think he would do somethin' like that.
HungryLikeThe: /he REALLY hopes he wouldn't do something like that, or he's gonna be pissed
certainty: Said "no" to what?
HungryLikeThe: Dude, does it matter? No is no.
Hunnybun: /stares at Gaius./ ... what do you think.
certainty: /I DONT KNOW THIS WHOLE THING IS HARD TO FOLLOW
HungryLikeThe: He's sayin' Deimos raped him, bro.
Hunnybun: (TL;DR OOC explanation: Demon!Deimos took Delusi on a nonconsensual badtouch safari)
certainty: /EYES NARROW
certainty: (that is quite a phrase)
Hunnybun: (AIn't it just)
HungryLikeThe: Which is REALLY not Deimos like behavior, so I'm hoping to whatever gods is out there that it wasn't
HungryLikeThe: him.
certainty: I agree. Deimos is far from a morally upstanding person but that does not sound like his behavior.
Hunnybun: ... then... why did it look like him? all exzzzept the eyezzz...
HungryLikeThe: Sometimes, people just show up different.
certainty: Mm. I myself have met another version of someone from my world.
Hunnybun: .... oh.
Hunnybun: then... how do you truzzzt anyone?
certainty: You don't, not fully.
Hunnybun: /whimpers/
certainty: Or you learn to spot the small differences.
HungryLikeThe: I just... go with what feels right.
certainty: I do not think it happens incredibly often.
certainty: Rather, only trust the ones you feel you know well.
Hunnybun: i don't know anyone that well yet...
certainty: That way, you will know if they are different.
certainty: /nods
certainty: It will take time.
Hunnybun: i've been zzztupid...
certainty: No
HungryLikeThe: /HUG
HungryLikeThe: /Not taking no, he is going for the hug
certainty: Do not think of it like that.
Hunnybun: /leans into hug/
certainty: Think of it as a lesson learned.
certainty: You will be stronger for it.
Hunnybun: a difficult lezzzzon...
HungryLikeThe: /petpetpet/
certainty: Mm.
certainty: Words mean little without actions, but
certainty: if you need anything, feel free to come to me.
certainty: /a small smile
Hunnybun: i... will remember that.
HungryLikeThe: Yeah, or if you see the dickface who hurt you. I'll rip his throat out.
certainty: /nods
Hunnybun: if i zzzee that one again, i will kill him myzzzzelf.
HungryLikeThe: That works too! /SQUEEZE
Hunnybun: i am a lowblood... we are known for our powerzzz
certainty: /a what
Hunnybun: he will feel mine if we meet again.
certainty: ... A lowblood?
Hunnybun: yezzz, i am fairly low on the hemozzzpectrum
certainty: You are from a place where birth determines your status. I see.
Hunnybun: blood color. not zzzzimply birth.
HungryLikeThe: /Arty just zoned the conversation out, doot doot, he's just gonna sit here and nuzzle Delusi's
HungryLikeThe: /shoulder
certainty: ... So your race has different colors of blood?
certainty: /also Delusi and whoever called me just now both get to ask Gaius a question
Hunnybun: /nods/ yezzzz
certainty: Interesting.
HungryLikeThe: /That was meeeeee
Hunnybun: lowbloodzzz do not live azzz long, and are not azzz phyzzzically zzztrong... but our mindzzz make up
Hunnybun: for the lack
certainty: /then u both owe me a question
HungryLikeThe: /didn't want to interrupt!
certainty: So in the end, you are all equal.
Hunnybun: /laughs. a lot./
certainty: Whether society deems it so or not.
HungryLikeThe: D'you like dogs? /at Gaius, super keenly/
Hunnybun: oh my... don't ever let a highblood hear you zzzzay that!
certainty: No. I prefer cats.
HungryLikeThe: Boo, you stink.
HungryLikeThe: /so not serious
certainty: ... I am not afraid of those who think they are superior to other
Hunnybun: /keeping the questions light and silly/ hod do you feel about rabbitzzz gaiiuzzz?
certainty: s for any reason other than their own merits.
certainty: /I JUST SAID I LIKED CATS
Hunnybun: (*how)
Hunnybun: /ONLY cats? EVER?
certainty: Hm. The only species of rabbit that is common in Auj Oule is the rappig.
Hunnybun: rappig?
HungryLikeThe: I like rabbits.
certainty: It is a variety of rabbit that looks similar to a pig.
certainty: Whereas piggits are a sort of pig that resemble rabbits.
certainty: /I might be mixing them up but whatever
Hunnybun: that zzzoundzzz cute. /smile/ my luzzzuzzz izzz a long-eared zzzzting-mammal...
certainty: The easiest way to tell them apart is the feet.
Hunnybun: which i am told humanzzz would more likely call a bunny-bee
certainty: They are quiet popular, yes.
certainty: *quite
certainty: They do not fare well in Kanbalar's climate, though,
certainty: so we mostly just keep wyverns and cats in the castle.
certainty: /the castle, he says so casually
HungryLikeThe: /perks up
HungryLikeThe: You got a castle?
HungryLikeThe: /bouncebouncebouce while still hugging Delusi
certainty: ... I wouldn't say I own it, but as the king, I do live in a castle, yes.
HungryLikeThe: /GASP/
Hunnybun: /blinkblink/ king??
certainty: Yes.
HungryLikeThe: IlovecastlesCastlesareawesomeIwannavisitacastlesomedayIalwayswantedtobeaknight
certainty: My rank does not matter here, so I usually refrain from using my full title.
certainty: /oh my god calm down
Hunnybun: /since he just won another question/ what izzz your full title?
certainty: /wow what a lame question
HungryLikeThe: /I wanna be a knight, Gaius
HungryLikeThe: /So bad
Hunnybun: /MAYBE YOU HAVE A LONG AND EMBARASSING NAME
Hunnybun: /IT'S A GOOD QUESTION
certainty: King Gaius of Auj Oule.
certainty: Though technically I rule all of Rieze Maxia now, I suppose.
Hunnybun: no lazzzt name? or "the 3rd" or anything?
certainty: I have a last name. I do not use my birth name.
certainty: So just Gaius.
Hunnybun: oh.
certainty: I am the first king of my name.
HungryLikeThe: /he makes along, drawn out whiny noise and flops/ Gosh, that is so coooool, it's just like in
HungryLikeThe: stories!
certainty: I find many of the kings in fairy tales to be unsatisfactory rulers.
HungryLikeThe: /rawwwwwwwwr flops around
certainty: I am not one to sit idlly upon the throne.
Hunnybun: /blinks at flopping arty/ are... you alright?
certainty: /yes that is a good question
HungryLikeThe: Yeeeeaaaaah, it's just so cooooool! /as he slides to the floor and lays in a heap
certainty: Why is that?
certainty: /wow how fitting to the conversation is the cards I have to play
HungryLikeThe: It's just- There ain't no stuff like that no more where I'm from!
HungryLikeThe: An' I grew up on all them kinds'a stories like Sword in the Stone an' Lancelot an'
HungryLikeThe: /huff
certainty: You have a prime minister then? I believe that is what they do in Elympios.
HungryLikeThe: Nah, we got a president. But also, there ain't no knights 'n stuff
HungryLikeThe: I mean, I'm gonna be a solider
HungryLikeThe: But there ain't like
certainty: Is that not the same thing?
HungryLikeThe: Fencin' for a lady's favor, or honor, ororor pledgin' fealty to the king hisself!
certainty: .... We do not do any of that.
HungryLikeThe: Why not?
certainty: At least not in those terms.
Hunnybun: /sighs/ thizzz all zzzzoundzzz better than her magezzzty the condenzzze and the grand highblood...
Hunnybun: not to mention the zzzubjuggalatorzzz...
certainty: ... Those all sound rather sinister so I would hope so.
certainty: I became king to right the wrongs in our former system of governance.
HungryLikeThe: Don't mean you can't do other things too!
certainty: What sort of things do you think kings do then?
HungryLikeThe: Well, govern an' hold council an' have feasts, an' tourneys for special occassions and serve out
HungryLikeThe: justice to the bad guys.
HungryLikeThe: Also, they have all the knights defend the kingdom, cuz someone's always attackin'.
certainty: The only one of those I can say is common is the "justice"
HungryLikeThe: ...So you're a lame king, s'what you're sayin'.
certainty: As we are protected from Rashugal on the sea from one side and the marsh on the other, war was rare.
Hunnybun: ...
certainty: And since their king was murdered, I have had control over both countries.
certainty: I am a practical king.
HungryLikeThe: /shrugs
certainty: My goal is to protect my citizens and help them find happiness.
HungryLikeThe: /he's going to cuddle Delusi's legs now
HungryLikeThe: /just sit here on the floor and hug them and rub his face against them
certainty: /you're a weirdo
HungryLikeThe: /I am a puppy
certainty: I am sorry I do not live up to your standards then.
HungryLikeThe: /shrugs/
certainty: /whoop
Hunnybun: ... /pat?/
HungryLikeThe: /happy derp face
certainty: /ask me a thing I guess
certainty: /immoooooo
Hunnybun: /??
certainty: /Gaius miscalled Delusi
Hunnybun: /whoop!
certainty: /im so bad at this omfg
Hunnybun: /ponders/ do... you have any family?
certainty: .....
certainty: Yes, I have a sister.
certainty: She teaches history.
HungryLikeThe: /yawns/ I like hist'ry...
certainty: Do you?
HungryLikeThe: Uhuh. /nods/ S'my best subject.
certainty: Perhaps you would like her, then.
certainty: She is a kind person, and she always appreciates those who are willing to learn.
certainty: /you can just hear the love in his voice
certainty: /sister is important
HungryLikeThe: That's nice.
certainty: Mm.
HungryLikeThe: /he says it sleepily, but he seems to mean it
certainty: /time for puppy's nap apparently
HungryLikeThe: /yep
HungryLikeThe: /Gnome is falling asleep at the keyboard
certainty: /the number of cards Gaius has is his age in Xillia 2 hella
HungryLikeThe: /So Arty is going to fall asleep right here
