Don't just claim this crater edge for yourself, wtf. He made this crater all on his own. After being electrocuted. He draws his knees up and puts his arms around them to pretend he has the modesty he doesn't.]
I thought you had asked Wednesday to obliterate you after this was all over, so I was gonna knock your block off. But you ran away.
I thought you were going to try to give me another hug. I would have had to kill you, and I didn't want to bother with it, so I left.
[HE RAN!! He will keep on running... Except for now, as he has this conversation with Akira in the middle of the city as Akira is just naked in a hole in the ground. They're going to get nerfed for property damage and he's going to kill Akira anyway.]
Don't tell me you've been looking for me since then.
My killing you isn't for you, it's for me. [HELP.] Obviously an idiot like you wouldn't learn a damn thing from being murdered, but it's sometimes decent stress relief.
[Except you ALL SHOWED UP AND THE RULES CHANGED AND NOW HE CAN'T DO A MURDER WITHOUT GETTING NERFED OR JAILED DAMN. He also fires a lil bolt of electricity Akira's way again. Nothing intense, pretty much just a static shock if it hits.]
Quite arrogant for a sack of flesh. You did not "owe" me anything.
[WAH. WHAT THE FCK!!! He jerks his legs up a bit out of startled reflex, grimacing as the dust of the ground flies up from the shock. NO.
Scaramouche gets a glare with no heat in it.]
You...! I still owe you a beating!!
[He throws all of his limbs out at once and howls in frustration. Immediately, his body starts popping, growing larger, getting furry and claw-y. He shoots up out of the crater at Scaramouche.]
[SKY BRAWL SKY BRAWL. He can even crash into Scaramouche but this is a terrible idea because Scaramouche is like an electric eel and anything that comes into contact with him is bound to get ZAPPED.]
[I put him in jail so now I have to unfortunately commit.
He really grapples at Scaramouche like he isn’t being run-through by electricity. SCARA PROBABLY ISN’T SCARED OF HIS STRENGTH SO MUCH AS THE SHEER STUPID PERSISTENCE HE HAS IN BEING AN IDIOT. So yeah, he keeps getting electrocuted and going down and then going back for more.
But he’s really only ever fought demons and Satan, and he has no martial prowess, only how much brute strength he has. So he ends up lying there and being crispy.]
[HELP the way i have to put scara in jail retrospectively now too despite having some tuesday pcs. ill say they happened in the morning it's fine.
ANYWAY IT'S OKAY because at least he has his brute strength which means Scaramouche also gets banged up because he's a close-range fighter despite being a fucking catalyst. SO HE'S ALSO LOOKING LIKE A DYING RACCOON EVENTUALLY.
He still pushes himself up to go beat up Akira one last time, though.]
You might as well die so you aren't sitting around burnt for days.
[HE'S GOING TO DO THE SAME WHETHER OR NOT AKIRA KILLS HIM FIRST.]
[HELPPPPP THEY'RE SO FUCKING STUPID WHY ARE THEY A RACCOON AND AN OPOSSUM they really are. He's lost his desire to do a murder though, so he bats at the swat in a very equally unenthusiastic way before sighing and plopping onto the ground. Earth swallow him whole challenge.]
I should, since I'm already going to deal with something because you can't keep your violence contained.
[PROPERTY DAMAGE TAX... He's mostly just not in the mood to do a murder anymore, rather than having gotten the beefing out of his system. But that's fine... That's basically close enough, anyway. He SIGHS and it sounds very put-upon and tired.]
You should have. [MISS THE GROUND NEXT TIME. DON'T GET HIM FCKIN NERFED!!! HE hates it here so bad. He also just fixes Akira with a stare, one brow arched.]
Do you think that's a deterrent for me? I couldn't give less of a shit what Ryo would feel if I killed you.
[YEAH YEAH CLIP THROUGH THE GROUND AND FIND A HELL GLITCH. Anyway this riles him just on the principle of the fact that he hates admitting people are Stronger Than He Is. But also, he's currently nerfed, so he has no real reason to doubt that Ryo couldn't decimate him as he is now if he really wanted to.
Akira's made the fatal assumption, thinking he isn't a deathseeker though!]
Again: do you think that's a deterrent? Death is meaningless here, which is why it isn't as satisfying to kill in the first place.
He ignores the first part though, because he is not surprised to hear that Ryo may or may not give a shit, may or may not decide to do a murder, may or may not whatever else. Very same hat.]
Why did I do what? Kill Chandra? It's not something you need to know. Kill any of the twice-dead? For literally any reason at all, honestly. The vast majority of life itself is devoid of meaning, and that doesn't stop people from engaging in things.
Anyway, he is just ignoring the first part because he's said he would not answer any questions about his kill and he STILL TO THIS DAY WON'T!! Especially not to Akira whose head he would crush like a watermelon if the whim struck.]
It's like swatting a gnat. It isn't boring because it hardly takes any effort, thought or energy.
[Sometimes, it's a good way to relieve stress! And sometimes you [redacted] in the [redacted] and tenderly [redacted] while [redacted].]
THIS IS SO FUNNY THOUGH WHY IS HE LIKE THIS. Scaramouche's expression is impassive, giving nothing away. But there is something a little distant in the way he carries himself as he pushes back upright, heedless of any injuries he's sporting, trying to regain his footing and some dignity. They'll be taken care of soon enough, but he's not about to off himself where Akira can paw at his corpse.]
A lowly mortal creature like yourself could never hope to understand anything about a god.
[This applies to both of the things Akira's going on about, as far as he's concerned. There's no point explaining anything further. All it'll do is just make him angry, and more than even the anger, he's just. Tired.]

[JUST… for the record. You cannot kill him in any way that matters, Scaramouche.]
I mean… not like… [LOOKING AWAY] …hard or anything. But maybe.
I owed you a knuckle sandwich.

They both just are here looking like a crispy, dying raccoon and a crispy, dying opossum. He very unenthusiastically swats at being beat up. NO.]
No... I'll heal... sooner or later...
[Swiper, no killing.]
no subject
It's less convenient that way. You're an idiot.
no subject
[This isn’t the save he thinks it is really.
You know how dudes will just beef it out and be done and be fucking fine afterward like nothing happened? They’re good?
Yeah, that’s him right now. He got the beef out.]
Kill me if you want me dead so bad.
no subject
[PROPERTY DAMAGE TAX... He's mostly just not in the mood to do a murder anymore, rather than having gotten the beefing out of his system. But that's fine... That's basically close enough, anyway. He SIGHS and it sounds very put-upon and tired.]
But you aren't worth the effort.
no subject
Mine? You electrocuted me! And knocked me off the roof.
[They are arguing over who will be going to jail worse.]
You just don't want to kill me.
no subject
You should work on your landings, then. [BINCH!! He refuses to take responsibility for this thing that he definitely did.]
Right now, I'm starting to feel like it again.
no subject
I landed just fine. I didn't miss the ground.
[He landed like a SPLAT pancake and that was fine. He didn't break anything? Somehow, he didn't break anything.]
If you kill me, Ryo might be mad.
no subject
ALSO STOP.]
You should have. [MISS THE GROUND NEXT TIME. DON'T GET HIM FCKIN NERFED!!! HE hates it here so bad. He also just fixes Akira with a stare, one brow arched.]
Do you think that's a deterrent for me? I couldn't give less of a shit what Ryo would feel if I killed you.
no subject
He’d kill you.
[This is earnest and not a brag. He does not say try because Ryo is strong as shit.]
He wouldn’t care right now, I guess. If we came right back.
no subject

[He has deflated back into his naked human monkey self, sorry to Scaramouche who has to put up with him nude.]
Why did you do it then? If death is meaningless.

[Like murder!]
no subject
His brows furrow.] Because Chandra is a god? Because he’s a dick? [Scaramouche is also a dick, but maybe it was dick and dick clashing.]
Doesn’t it get boring? Like… Aren’t you tired of having to deal with killing everything?
no subject
Anyway, he is just ignoring the first part because he's said he would not answer any questions about his kill and he STILL TO THIS DAY WON'T!! Especially not to Akira whose head he would crush like a watermelon if the whim struck.]

no subject
Also tch. He’s gonna keep guessing everything in the book until Scaramouche cracks with annoyance.]
He asked you to kill him. He said something stupid to you. He made fun of your little thing.
[He really is only rattling them off for no reason.]
If it doesn’t take any effort, it’s boring. Just admit you’re boring.

Sorry that Scaramouche had a stubborn as fuck roomie.]
I want to. I want to know why God would keep killing Ryo. I want to know how to make it stop.
