First of all: how on earth do you materialize and dematerialize items?

[darkinferno]

[Oh, Ros, why are you always asking the hard questions? He's not going to have a satisfactory answer for this one, either.]

I put out my hand and it appears there. Then, when I don't need it any more, I let go and it disappears.

[He knows that's not good enough though. Give him a moment.]

It's... kind of like I told the prof. I can feel it's there, even if I can't actually see it. [Unbidden, his hand comes up over his heart, as though feeling for Soul Eater inside of him.] So I know that when I need it, it's going to be there--it can't not be, because if it didn't show up, I wouldn't have it.

[Kingdom Hearts, man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

[darkinferno]

[Coincidentally, that happens to be one of the exact squares on his card! Dante takes a moment to try and think of something mundane that he's never shared with anyone before. Hmm...]

Once when I was thirteen I decided I was going to leave my parents and go live with my mom. I got all the way to the airport before I realized it wasn't going to work.

[Dante that's not mundane at all???? Oh... well...?]

[crushcard]

[ there's a pause. because yeah... YEAH, Dante, that's definitely not mundane at all, what the heck?

but then again Kaiba's been kind of okay at taking these kind of things in stride. ]

I see. [ no judgment there. if anything, there's definitely thinly veiled sympathy, although it's probably kind of hard to hear it over the phone. ] Difficult family life?

[ it's open, but Dante doesn't have to answer. ]

[U G H. Let me tell you how much Ros hates video game logic; it's a shocking amount for a character who comes from a video game.

Still! She believes him, in no small part because that's somewhat what Ardyn had described.]

Can you do it with any object? Or is it simply the blade alone?

[mercurio]

this is a serious survey that i'm running!
would you please answer YES or NO to the following question

Q: PROMPTO ARGENTUM IS KIDNAP MATERIAL

thank you for your time!

[darkinferno]

[IT'S MUNDANE ENOUGH FOR HIM??? It wasn't that big of a deal; his parents hadn't even realized he was gone before he got back.]

No harder than anyone else's. Doesn't everyone want to run away at some point?

[darkinferno]

obviously yes how is this even a question

10/10 would pull into unmarked black car in dead of night

[darkinferno]

[On his end, Dante's shaking his head, even if Ros can't see it.]

No. I know the prof can, but I think mine works differently than his does. My sword... I can feel it in my heart, normally. Not just floating around in some nebulous place.

[mincingminuet]

Yo, Dante. I got some weird news.

[darkinferno]

pen? what's up?

[mincingminuet]

You ever heard of Elizabeth Bathory?

[darkinferno]

elizabeth bathory? can't say the name's familiar, refresh my memory

[mincingminuet]

An infamous noblewoman from Hungary, a few hundred years ago.

She used to murder young women and bathe in their blood, to keep her skin soft. And apparently it kept her youthful.

What if I told you in digging around, I discovered that she had family in Recolle?

[darkinferno]

oh right i HAVE heard of her

so you're telling me there's someone related to a mundane vampire in recollé?

[mincingminuet]

Yep. And you know her.

It's Vera. Her family is from the same region, and doing a little digging, it seems like she's related to that branch of the fam.

Kinda makes you wonder how Vera keeps her skin so smooth, huh?

[mercurio]

you ever do that to me i'll
punch you in the balls so hard you'll remember the day you were born
also i'd expect waffles at the end

[darkinferno]

hang on, you're trying to tell me that vera bathes in the blood of innocents?

don't most stories like that require virgins?

[mincingminuet]

Young women.

Who said innocents?

[darkinferno]

well wikipedia says virgins specifically so i'm reading in between the lines

[darkinferno]

looks like i've gotta make sure to wear a cup when i decide to kidnap you, huh?

why are you asking the question if you don't want it to happen?

[Dante that's not how that works??]

[mercurio]

i'm just trying to prove minako wrong!

[originallutece]

Can you describe it for me? The sword, I mean, not the feeling.

[Why his heart of all places? For that matter, why a sword?]

[darkinferno]

what'd she say to make you ask this in the first place?

[mincingminuet]

And you believe wikipedia as the true source of all info?
