[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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!!!!]
