[NOT THE FUCKING CAT CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW SAD NORMAL DEPLATED AKIRA WOULD BE!!! This fucking cat, though. Scaramouche gives its skrunkly little ass a look, but also lifts his feet with a little extra care so he doesn't fuckin step on it.]
What would you even gain by eating such a scrawny little thing? Internal fleas, maybe.
[BABY AKIRA CRYING OVER THIS DEAD CAT... He just casts this FUNKY LIL MAN a look from over his shoulder before his attention drops back down to the kitten.]
Hardly. Still a little slip of a creature.
[He doesn't move to pick it up or pet it, but he wiggles his toes a little. The phrasing of the question has him looking back, though, and coupled with the "not me"...]
...He couldn't cry, apparently. [The way he pays attention to what's going on around him even when it looks like he isn't.] Who are you, then?
[YOU REALLY FUCKING ARE HELP NOT THE CRAB CLAWS. This cat is so sprightly for being recently close to a second death... He moves his foot away, lil shit.]
Cursed, more like. If there's anything that boy wouldn't lose, it'd be his tear ducts.
[Username drop... damn. But he will look back toward Gilgamesh Plate Man, crossing his arms over his chest.]
[THE FOOT. GONE!! Oh, it's gone!! The kitten tries to scramble away in a fit of the zoomies, but kind of just chugs in place on the floor before getting any grip. There he go finally.
STOP NOT THE USERNAME]
I'm the strongest demon. There isn't any other demon who can best me. The other boy, Ryo, summoned me inside this one. Somehow, this one's heart was powerful enough to suppress me.
[HELP I HATE THIS IM LOSING IT goodbye cat... Scaramouche just watches it scamper away. What the fuck. the way i almost typed matsui first matsui's just here suddenly.]
Ryo did? [UMMMMM.......... This seems messy. Not that he is interested in the juicy, juicy deets or anything, but wow! Yikes! People do be out here doing a lot.]
Hm. What happened now, then? Is he missing his willpower or something?
[No he, Matsui Gou, refuses to love either of them and especially not whatever the fuck they are together.]
Hm. That's going to be a problem for him.
[Scaramouche, whose mental image of sweet Akira is truly just "uncontrollable crybaby", just sitting here like wow? We'll never see Akira again I guess.]
[Plate Gilgamesh and his Skrunkly Companion, Jiji Devilcat.]
He should have been stronger.
[It was nerfing, shut up.
Slowly, he rolls over again onto his back. The kitten has vanished, but very suddenly gallops out into a leap on top of his head. He picks it up like a claw machine
and then begins to toss it above himself in the air and catch it like a ball. NOT HIGH....but toss nonetheless.]
[THIS CAT IS TOO FRAGILE FOR THIS TREATMENT IT'S JUST A LIL SKRUNKLE. Scaramouche watches this for a second, and then darts forward in a quick motion to snatch the cat midair. The way that he is actually so fucking fast but he barely ever shows it, even when he's halfassing some trial brawls with Childe.]
Don't get this thing killed. I won't be able to hold up my end of the bargain if it's dead.
[WAAAAH, his skrunkly has been kidnapped... Catnapped. He seems amused rather than annoyed.]
You didn't strike me as the type of man who would keep your end of deals. Making bargains with humans... Sounds annoying. I'd say to just kill him and there would be no bargain, but...
[CATNAPPED. His skrunkly now. Scaramouche holds it like he is not used to holding small animals, which he isn't, but at least it's probably better than being tossed like a ball.]
Humans are the ones who can't be trusted to stick with the bargains they make. I'm a god of my word.
[Even if the word is like "I promise to smite your swordsmithing clan sooo bad that your descendants are going to feel it 400 years later". Y'know. ANYWAY!!]
The real one? Can you even do anything with that body right now?
[GOD GROSS goddamn this fuckin cat he doesn't WANT skrunkly kitten affections!! He makes a face, stooping over to deposit the kitten back onto the floor, the little shit.]
Oh. [Just "OH"!!! But it's because he had his mecha stolen from him so like same hat basically? Same hat.]
Well, I don't think it's a bad idea to kill Satan. [girl help] But a "fake" one?
[He hates this cat (no he doesn't) he hates it. This is ignorable, at least, and so he will ignore it and keep his attention on the BODYSNATCHER he's talking to, who is definitely telling him things that he's sure Akira would not want him to know. Would Ryo?? Maybe not?? The guy is a true mystery to read, sometimes.
His expression remains relatively impassive though, as he just Perceives for a moment, arms crossing over his chest again.]
That sounds more in line with what the people who've spoken of hell and worlds with just one god have said. I don't know much about it. [The bible lore...] I don't know if that would make this Satan a fake one, though, given the number of worlds that are out there.
[HE'S JUST FUCKING IGNORING THE PART WHERE RYO IS SATAN.]
[LISTEN. WHAT ELSE IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO!! He will file this information away later and peer at it under a microscope, but for now he's just like good lord what the hell.]
I don't really care about it, no. If those two people exist separately in their own worlds and only happen to meet by chance, isn't it just like any other "multiple realities" theory? There could very well be infinite versions of every being in existence, just existing separately and rarely ever crossing paths.
[laughs in future lore. me aki, scaramouche sure isn't.]
[I HATE THIS. Don't just save his lore for later contemplation. Every tag I get from you is literally just Ryo. WTF. WHAT MOD RNG PUT RYO 2.0 WITH THIS SAD BOY!!! MODS!!!]
But which one is better? Which one is stronger? Which one deserves to be who they say they are? That's what matters to demons. The right to survive. The instinct to best another and merge with them, creating a superior being one defeat at a time.
When you aren't strong, what right do you have to live?

Okay but he still came back here for a reason so he opens it back up a second later and moves to step around Akira's starfished form.]
You're going to cry about it later if you eat that thing, you know.
no subject
He's been interrupted, so the cat just gets dumped on top of him. It gives Scaramouche a mewl and totters off Akira to chase after his feet.]
Not me. It should have been stronger if it didn't want to be eaten.
no subject
What would you even gain by eating such a scrawny little thing? Internal fleas, maybe.
no subject
Mmm. Haven't bothered to eat it all week because it's been so pathetic. Thought maybe it plumped up enough now.
[The kitten plays with Scaramouche's feet. Pappap the toesies.]
Did you come to see if he was crying?
no subject
Hardly. Still a little slip of a creature.
[He doesn't move to pick it up or pet it, but he wiggles his toes a little. The phrasing of the question has him looking back, though, and coupled with the "not me"...]
...He couldn't cry, apparently. [The way he pays attention to what's going on around him even when it looks like he isn't.] Who are you, then?
no subject
Losing his touch.
[He turns onto his side, propping his head up in a hand with the elbow on the floor. One knee up. It feels like I'm playing Gilgamesh.]
The one who possessed this body. The Great Warrior, Amon.
no subject
Cursed, more like. If there's anything that boy wouldn't lose, it'd be his tear ducts.
[Username drop... damn. But he will look back toward Gilgamesh Plate Man, crossing his arms over his chest.]
What's so great about you?

also ya it's messy, love them.]
Mm.
[He shrugs one shoulder.]
Humans are easier to possess when they lose control of their emotions, when they don't have anything strong enough to resist you.

no subject
It isn’t being held well, but it’s being held… So now it is trying to bestow its affectations on Scaramouche.]
My true form was stolen. I will take it back from Satan by killing him, but I have to reach him first. A fake Satan should not exist.
no subject
Oh. [Just "OH"!!! But it's because he had his mecha stolen from him so like same hat basically? Same hat.]
Well, I don't think it's a bad idea to kill Satan. [girl help] But a "fake" one?
no subject
Akira’s head rolls over to regard Scaramouche.]
He hasn’t told you? [Haha.] That Ryo is the fallen angel, Satan. The angel who God abandoned and cast out of Heaven.
no subject

That sounds more in line with what the people who've spoken of hell and worlds with just one god have said. I don't know much about it. [The bible lore...] I don't know if that would make this Satan a fake one, though, given the number of worlds that are out there.
[HE'S JUST FUCKING IGNORING THE PART WHERE RYO IS SATAN.]
no subject
He continues to peer at both Scaramouche and the cat.]
You don’t mind getting rid of Satan, but will take him as an original because there are other worlds?
[He hms which rolls out as an attempted growlish sound in a human body.]
It doesn’t bother you when there are two of the same person existing, thinking they are who they are?
no subject
I don't really care about it, no. If those two people exist separately in their own worlds and only happen to meet by chance, isn't it just like any other "multiple realities" theory?

Big words from someone who'd likely die if I pushed you out of a tall enough window right now.
[IF HE HAS TO DEAL WITH BEING NERFED HE'S GOING TO REMIND EVERYONE ELSE THAT THEY ARE, TOO!!!!]
