[Akira you dumb bitch. HE'S NOT GOING TO STOP HIM. HE'S JUST GOING TO WATCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, LIKE A FERRET WITH A NEW NOODLE TUBE. Don't fucking die though he wants to know what FAKE SATAN means, the hell.]
[THIS IS YOUR TYPE, ANNA!!! BE FORCED TO WITNESS!!!!
This is so fucking funny though their door is just going to immediately fall apart as soon as the curfew magic lifts. AND THEN WHAT. They're just never locked into their room again, or satan personally funds a second door for them.
Anyway now that that's all done.]
I'm surprised that you were smart enough to use your shoulder and not your head. [He has one braincell more than Itto...] But you should call that friend of yours instead of wasting your time on this.
Gritting his teeth, he momentarily gives up on the door so he can call Ryo WHO SCARA DID NOT CALL. It takes him a minute hilariously because he never used much of his home smartphone.
He lifts it to his ear, but it goes dead almost immediately. ??? He looks at the screen.
But yeah!! GOOD WORK LAD. Scaramouche continues not being helpful at all because that's what he does best. He just watches with some vague half-interest as Akira also fails to use his phone. Damn, can't open a door, can't text the bestie, what are you good for??]
Not working? Maybe you're on to something after all.
[There's evil afoot... and it's not him for once...]
[ARGH!!!! He wants to sling the phone at the ground, but his extra braincell luckily works and keeps him from doing little more than squeezing it once frustratedly.]
[LISTEN. Yeah. He's having a great time watching Akira have a bad time, actually.]
They can't even get solitary confinement right. [WHY IS HE STILL FUCKING STUCK WITH A PERSON. He hates that part.
With no small amount of boredom in his tone:] You might as well sit down, then. Clearly we aren't going anywhere until they decide it's time for us to, and it's not like anyone is at risk. What are they going to do, kill us again?
[He glares at Scaramouche, but the glare doesn't really seem to be for Scaramouche necessarily. ANGRY AT THE SITUATION. He stares at his phone, trying to think of what their options are.
HE TRIES TO CALL SOMEONE ELSE. One of the demons. Another one. It doesn't go through either.]
It isn't even going through to the helpers. What...? [WHAT IS HAPPENING.] Okay, listen. If demons start trying to come through the door, get in the closet. I'll hold them off.
[HE CAN'T EVEN TRANSFORM. He's really still trying to take care of Scara.]
THIS MAN TRULY DOES NOT DESERVE HAVING TO DEAL WITH SCARAMOUCHE, THOUGH... He just looks at him in a sort of vaguely incredulous way, before laughing. LAUGHING.]
What a noble heart you have. [Somehow, even though these are very complimentary words, the tone is Extremely Derogatory. He also waves a hand dismissively.]
Don't waste your time worrying about little old me. You should keep your priorities straight, shouldn't you?
[STOP why are dudes with bowl cuts terrible people
He turns to look at Scaramouche. He's dumb, but he's not ENTIRELY dumb, and the undercurrent of the tone is telling. However, unfortunately for Scaramouche, he also isn't a push-over even though he's still got the compassion.
Irritated in his frustration, he only takes several strides toward Scaramouche to get into the guy's personal space where he can lean in, close.]
They're straight. Which means not standing around twiddling my thumbs when someone else in this room is being torn to shreds.
[POKES SCARAMOUCHE RIGHT IN HIS LIL SHITHEAD CHEST.]
I don't care who you are, that you have a broken piece of whatever, or that I get the feeling you're trying to hide how you really feel. Having you here doesn't necessarily mean I get less of a shot at drinking Satan into the ground.
[WHAPPY PAWS THAT HAND AWAY FROM HIM. HE DOESN'T LIKE BEING PERCEIVED LIKE THIS!!! Which means of course that he's going to double down with a nasty, cold smile, because he's a dude with a bowl cut and they really are just terrible people, like how all gingers in hell are stupid, apparently.]
Don't touch me. [THE "GET BACK SLUT" ENERGY... SISI WAS RIGHT.] And don't think so little of me, either.
[In terms of ????? probably all of the above, honestly. That he's HIDING THINGS, that he'd be torn to shreds by demons, ALL OF IT. HE'S NOT A WEENIE!! HE DOESN'T BELONG IN WEENIE HUT JR.]
If there was some threat on its way here, I would leave you to fend for yourself without a second thought. If you were smart, you would do the same.
[DON'T ASSIGN HIM WEENIE HUT JR. AND NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, THAT'S SOMEHOW EVEN WORSE...
At the mention of Akira's sordid past of Being Left For Dead, he just scoffs. OF COURSE HE WOULD BE. Gotdamn, some people in this club don't have even one braincell.]
Because that's how people work. When push comes to shove, everyone will do whatever to save their own stinking skins. I don't have the patience to deal with anyone who pretends otherwise.
[Obviously!! He manages to say such depressing things with such an infuriatingly condescending air.]
[SOMETIMES YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY VERY SHITTY PEOPLE AND ALSO DEMONS, THANKS.]
I'm not that kind of person. I was tired of watching people be that way to each other. [Scaramouche really gonna have to get some patience with those people because he's now stuck in a room with one of them.] Hating and killing innocent people just because they were scared. And being scared of the ones who weren't like them, just because they were different.
I'm not gonna be a person like that. I don't care if I'm dead.
Noble words, but all they're saying to me is that you haven't found your tipping point yet.
[HE WILL NOT TOLERATE LIVING UNDER THE SAME ROOF AS ONE OF THESE TYPES gross... They're all so GROSS, nasty, he doesn't want to be trapped in this room even more now but unfortunately, god has never listened to Scaramouche and ain't about to start.]
[His expression crumples; it's not hard or upset, but firm. Resolute.]
I've found it, [he says matter-of-factly, voice low.] I've found it is why I won't be a person like that. They were terrible, they took one of the most important people from me. So I killed them for it. But they were still just humans.
And even when I killed them, I never felt better. Because who they took was still dead.
[At least he doesn't start crying again, even though Scaramouche is concerned for a second that He Might Just.
He also just gives Akira a Look for a second or two that's difficult to read outside of being largely unpleasant. He doesn't like it when he's confronted by people who have gone through hardships and come out stronger? Seems fake.]
Hmph. [LITERALLY A HMPH I HATE HIS SASUKE ASS.] The point of revenge isn't to feel better.
[It's just to make sure everyone else is just as miserable as you are?? DUH.]
[I sniffed so many feet last night. ALSO STOP DONT BE SASUKE.]
There isn’t any point in revenge.
[He at least gets out of Scaramouche’s face. But there is no use flinging himself at the door it seems, so now he has all this worked up, restless energy.]
[STOP STOP WITH THE FEET SNIFFING I HATE IT HERE SO MUCH SO DOES SCARAMOUCHE
He is, at least, glad that he no longer has to worry about how to get this lad to step back without starting a fight, though. He's still frowning and looking generally sour! But now with more space!]
Stop looking like you want to pace around.
[Now he'll just bitch about the restless energy vibes.]

He pauses to inspect the splits in the wood, seeing if he can peek out and see anything.]
If we’re locked in without warning, then something bad is happening.
[He starts backing up…]
no subject
Anyway he's just watching this, fully expecting Akira to go ramming into the door hard enough to fracture his skull this time.]
It's hell. Isn't that on theme?
no subject
[He pauses after he has backed up far enough.]
I’m not gonna sit around and let a fake Satan think he’s gonna try something with me before I get my chance at the contest!
[He
charges the door for a second time.]

He slams into the door with his shoulder again, making the splintering worse. BUT THE DOOR REALLY DOESN’T BUDGE!!!
When he draws back, he reaches up to hold his shoulder… 😔]
Dammit…

[ARGH!!!! He wants to sling the phone at the ground, but his extra braincell luckily works and keeps him from doing little more than squeezing it once frustratedly.]

But it doesn’t work either.]

He is at least not offended by the detachment. Akira is assigning him Weenie Hut Jr even though he does not say anything pointed about it.]
It wouldn't be the first time I was left for dead. Why should I leave you? Just because you think you deserve it?

At the mention of Akira's sordid past of Being Left For Dead, he just scoffs. OF COURSE HE WOULD BE. Gotdamn, some people in this club don't have even one braincell.]
