✖ Dante ✖ Mission Ten: // Port Royal

[albinoidiot]

Ladies, ladies! There's enough of me to go around!

[Dante was celebrating his freedom at large with beer, food, and some wenches. Truth be told, he had been good, he hadn't exactly been looking for anything in particular when he walked out of the bar with five women bickering amongst themselves on who go to hold his arms.]

You know what I like most about freedom? The fact that I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, and I won't have to be interrupted because I have some debt to paid.

[He tumbled slightly, the girls weren't exactly making it easy to walk.]

Hey now, there's no need to be so rough. You're wastin' your time. I'm a taken man after-all. [They're were whines.]

Okay, I'm not taken yet but I'm on my way. If you buy me a drink I'll tell you all about my muse.

[The girls giggled and blushed as they led the way to another bar.]

By the way, to my hero's and saviors: take your pick of these fine ladies. I'll pay for the night so don't go worrying about that.

...Pay? [He does not understand, Dante. WHAT DO YOU DO.]

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

Yeah, pay. [He chuckles.] You're tellin' me you've never heard about a prostitute?

[Slap!. It seems the girls didn't like being called that. He rubbed at his cheek.]

Don't give me that, we both know you're not free!

[salvagedlight]

...No? Why?

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

Well. Let me explain.

There are all sorts of jobs in the world, you see, and some are a lot more sweeter than others. These fine beauties on my left and right are entertainer's. They like men and they know just how to make men feel special.

You should try one. I don't think you can handle two yet.

[salvagedlight]

...You're not making any sense. [He still doesn't get it, Dante. MOAR EXPLANATION PLEASE!]

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

[He sighs.] Sex, Ven. Get your ass to Port Royal and get laid. That's all you have to understand.

[salvagedlight]

NO! NO WAY!

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

Hey, you just walked into hell. You deserve some compensation.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

I did that because you needed help, and that's what we do, help. I don't need anything else.

[And certainly not THAT!]

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

Are you sure?

[He pauses.]

Well. This is a first.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

[He's not entirely sure he wants to know, but he can't help but ask.]

What is?

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

Normally, people would find this to be a good bargain but, well... you just rejected my offer. I don't exactly know what else to give you.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

I don't need anything. That's what Keyblade wielders do - we help people in the bad times.

[He's altruistic, Dante - almost to a fault. It's just part of him.]

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

I don't like being in anyone's debt. That's what this feels like.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

But you're not. This is my life - this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Helping people, no matter how hard. It's why we have Keyblades, to keep the worlds and the people in them safe.

Re: [Video]

[albinoidiot]

That doesn't make me feel any better.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

Then what would? And don't say a girl.

[You do not get to control his dating life, Dante. Whenever he figures out how to start one.]

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

Tell me what you want. You want food? You want, I don't know, a stuffed toy. What the hell do kids in this world like? Ice cream, maybe?

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

You don't get it, I don't want anything. I don't need anything. If you want to repay me, then go out and use your freedom to protect someone else. Pay it forward - make the worlds a little better, instead of a little worse.

[There's a level of maturity and... understanding in his voice with those statements that's unusual in a guy his age. It's a bit surreal.]

I'm not a kid. I'm just someone who wants to help.

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

[Damn. You are so mature right now. And you are giving Dante some hope in humanity again.]

Fine. But I'm sharing my doughnuts with you eventually.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

[He's died for these worlds, Dante. Choosing to do something like that, it does things to you. Makes you see things differently. Not that Ven wasn't already pretty dang close to being there before that point, anyway. He grins.]

You can keep those, too. They're too sweet for me.

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

You don't like doughnuts? Now you're just pulling my leg.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

I don't really like sweet things all that much. They're... what's the word? Cloying, I think. It just doesn't taste all that good.

[He's not your typical teen, that's for sure.]

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

I'll respect that. It's not completely weird.
