[redarm]

Tch. You know if you hadn't summoned it out of thin fucking air, I'd call it dumb, but...

[Yeah no. Magical sword seems like the most plausible explanation here.

He sighs, lowering the arm. Another unfruitful endeavor- what does it take to cut this thing?]

No, I promised I wouldn't carve it off. [For SOME reason Anya and Naoto were against amputation. Weird.] I'm doing physical therapy and that's helping it move some, but...

[He sighs, rubbing his neck] You know, it's weird. Same day I got the arm, I got another package from Retrospec. Kinda forgot to about it with the whole...arm thing.

It was just an old deck of cards. Nothing creepy about it.

[darkinferno]

Trust me, I get it. I'm living it. [Dante releases the sword, watching it be swallowed up by the darkness again. It's still weird, no matter how many times he does it.

However, once Noah gets to explaining about the cards, Dante's resting a fist on his hip, giving him a deadpan look. Really?]

Well, I don't know about you, but if there's one thing I've noticed about the stuff we've been getting, it's that it's usually not useless.

[The only one that has been is the cat plushies sent out from "Yuri's Angels."]

People have gotten weapons, clothes... I'm pretty sure these gloves came from them, right before they gave me a wooden sword to train with. So if you got a deck of cards the same day you woke up with that thing, I'm betting they're connected.

[A smirk.]

How good are you at poker?

[redarm]

Tch. I never said it was useless, just not creepy like the other stuff. And I just forgot about it because new limb kinda took priority for some fucking reason.

[Gosh.]

Uh...I played Go Fish once?

[darkinferno]

I wasn't saying that you said it was useless. [Come on, stick with him here!] Just, if you got it at the same time as the arm, there's probably a connection there.

[A shrug.] Who knows? Maybe it's time you learned some new tricks.

[And yes, every single one of those meanings are intended.]

[redarm]

Yeah, whatever.

[Dante has a point, really, but that doesn't mean he has to be happy about it]

Great, sure. Maybe I'll teach myself to play solitaire in solitude.

[darkinferno]

[Remind him to suggest to Ari that they should all work together to help him recover the use of his new arm... after all, if he puts it to her in such a way that suggests he's trying to help Noah, he's sure he could swing it somehow. It'd be worth having to put up with him to see how pissed off he was at being pulled into it for how much he cares about Ari...]

Suit yourself.

[Was that a fucking pun? No, it definitely wasn't.]

Was there anything else you wanted to try?

[redarm]

[Wow Dante that's both nice and dickish at the same time. Which is so...you.

He gives a bit of a look at the pun, but ignores it.]

I dunno. If that sword doesn't break it, I don't fucking know what else would.

You know, without killing the rest of me in the process.
