✖ Dante ✖ Mission Eight: // Traverse Town

[albinoidiot]

[Again, he's on top of the Gizmo shop laying on his stomach and looking down at the ground far below on the edge. There's no smile on his face, the red in his eyes is gone, he just looks miserable. Human, but miserable.]

Kadaj, I was thinkin'. We need to stop roaming about and find a place to stay. I never had a home of my own but really, what the hell are we going to do the day it rains? Sure, you probably don't feel it with your leather gimp suits, but I do.

Why the hell are you even wearing that anyway. Loz, we can see everything and... it's uncalled for.

[He turned his head for a change of angle.] Tell me what you think? I mean, a house wouldn't be that bad. You two are lucky I've got some munny saved to support your asses, you'll just have to do the cleaning. I'm allergic to cleaning. What is cleaning.

[And he chuckled to himself. Apparently he thinks he's really funny.]

And Lady, if you're watchin', hit me up. I wanna talk to you.

[Approaching Dante, Kadaj sat down next to him, dangling his legs over the edge. He had planned on arguing that they wouldn't be home until they found Mother, but he had never taken rain into account. His only encounter with rain had left all of his body burning and he didn't wish to repeat that incident.]

Where do you suggest we'd stay? And what's wrong with what we wear? It's what Mother chose for us.

Loz can do all the cleaning. I don't clean.

[albinoidiot]

What do you mean what's wrong with it. You look fine in it, sometimes if I'm not careful you look like a chick from a certain angle, but Loz. Well. I love 'em but I don't want to be seeing his junk. So skin tight, it's not healthy...

I'm thinkin' we can go looking around the town, see what houses are for sale or vacant. We can just take one over, right?

[Action]

[purestmadness]

...What do you mean, I look like a chick? I hope you don't mean what I think you mean. Would you rather us both walk around wearing nothing? Because we can.

We could take over the entire town if we really wanted. Do you want to?

[Action]

[albinoidiot]

No, don't go walkin' around naked. No body wants to see that! There's freaks out there, do you know what they do to boys that walk around naked? Bad things.

[He turned and gave Kadaj a look at the last phrase.]

Let's leave the conquering for later. I just want a house.

[Action]

[purestmadness]

I would stab them before they could do anything, to me or you.

[He smirked, confident and clueless as ever.]

Then I'll get you a house. Whatever house you want.

[Loz just gives him a long, perplexed stare.]

Huh? See everything? [He blinks a couple times, then shrugs it off.] What do we need a house for? We can sleep wherever... and if we need shelter, we can just punch someone outta theirs!

[video]

[albinoidiot]

You know, I get it. Somehow you guys don't smell despite being out and about in who knows where but, we need a house and we can't go kicking people out of there's.

[He stops. Refrains.]

Okay, we could, but all those hero's are going to come knocking at our door when they do and I don't want to ruin the only four hours I actually sleep every two days. Got it?

[video]

[youmeanie]

Humans are smelly. We're not human. [But then, as if to test Dante's remark, Loz takes a moment to - what he thinks is subtly - sniff at one of his armpits. Just making sure.]

Yeahhh... I guess that makes sense. I'm not afraid of a fight, though! [He has to make that especially clear.] Do you really need sleep?

[video]

[albinoidiot]

I like sleeping. Unlike you, children, I wasn't born a week ago. I'm old. Don't make your big brother suffer.

[video]

[youmeanie]

[Forever eager to please and follow, Loz only grunts before nodding in agreement.] If you really hafta. You're not gonna make us act all... goody-goody and boring though, right?

[obiwankenobi]

[He sees that miserable look. Time for some cheering up. Or... well, he'll try at least.]

Taking people under your wing, are you?

[video]

[albinoidiot]

I'm not exactly a good role model but I know enough about survival to get people by.

I'm just lonely.

[video]

[obiwankenobi]

You try, that's what matters, Dante.

I noticed that the... [He's not sure how to say it... He points to his eyes to imply about the red eyes.] Those are normal. Are you... [--free?] alright?

[video]

[albinoidiot]

Oh, you mean the red-eyes. [He heaves a sigh.] Believe it or not sometimes the devil inside me wins. I was pissed off, my demon was pissed off. I'm calmer now, no longer having anxiety attacks.

[video]

[obiwankenobi]

[He nods slowly.] I'm glad you're doing better at least, but you know I meant what I said, don't you? If there's anything I can do for you, you'll tell me. Right? And you're certainly not alone.

You don't have a home right now?

video;

[albinoidiot]

Nope. I got here and roamed around Wonderland. There's a table there with never-ending cake and tea so I couldn't find a reason why I should move from there. Then these guys came into my life and, well, you gotta think of the group in the end. Right?

[mynameisallen]

There's a never-ending cake?

[albinoidiot]

You heard right. Never-ending cake.

[She....knids of feels awkard talking to you right now, so have her only speaking to you via text.]

Where do ya think your going to live?

[albinoidiot]

[Well, if you feel awkward, he feels awkward.]

The guys really like Traverse Town. [And a little peek at the communicator.] We're open to... suggestions of where not to live if you don't want... you know. Me. Anywhere near you.

[wantstobeasinger]

Halloween Town. I don't know why, that place just gives me the creeps.

text;

[albinoidiot]

Really? Can't say I'm not surprised. I actually like the place. It's funny...

[aintnolady]

If you're about to ask me to be your maid, you better hope you're bullet proof.

[albinoidiot]

Sorry, Lady. If there was a girl in the house it wouldn't be a bachelor pad anymore. You're not invited.
