Don't be like that, man. Chuuya's the one who told me first and I'm working with him for my job. Plus I...figured you'd be busy. Katy seems to like you pretty well.
[But he's glancing around.] You...normally live in a community center? [Hm.] Too bad you can't just stay in the hotel. Have you guys tried staying there for the longterm since crossing over or whatever?
Considering he's the one who punched me in the face without provocation the first time we met, then stole my fucking clamshell so I was sleeping on the floor for the rest of the week before ultimately desecrating my corpse? Yeah, I'm gonna be like that. Katy's the only one who's treated me like a human fucking being the last two weeks, but it's not like even with her my schedule's been swimming; she has other shit to do.
[He's not going to pretend to like someone who's had it out for him since the second they met, sorry.]
Surprise, surprise: I'm homeless!
[Maybe if he's sassy about it, it won't suck so much.]
Not really. And at least this is familiar, even if I don't have a bed.
...fair enough. [Didn't realize it went that far!! But also, wow, bitter...this is awkward.] I didn't think Katy was that busy. I haven't caught up with her too often myself, but I've seen her around.
[But also, double-bitter. He can deal with sass and instead he cups his chin in his hand, elbow balanced on a knee and beer bottle in his free hand.]
Sucks dude...but makes sense. You know what you know and makes all of this other shit suck maybe a little less. [He takes a drink.] ...do you, like, need some blankets or something? [This place looks kind of gross my dude.]
You should get to know her better; she's a total spitfire, mate. Can't go wrong! If you're not only interested in cock, that is.
[A lot of people here just seem really into cock so he has no idea!]
Nah, I'm alright. I'll figure something out. I don't want to imagine how much extra mouth service I'd have to give to get anything else outta this place.
[There's a languid shrug. Maybe it doesn't matter if he says it to the hosts.] I'm engaged to a woman. Both are fine, so...sure. I'll follow up with her whenever I see her.
[Akane on the brain as always. But that's not what he's really here for.]
Have you gotten anything else since the whole ascension or whatever the fuck that was? It's been an insane sort of week.
Thanks, I think. I'm not sure it counts yet. [But he shrugs again. Does it count if the ring's on the wrong hand? Who knows! He has to fuck people here anyway!!!]
The anything else is...like, more clarity about the stuff you hear and got downloaded to your head or whatever. Powers. Anything that might help us help you.
Surprised you're not telling more people about that option. [He's still gonna be mad at Polly here, goodbye. But he's staring at the ceiling between his fingers.]
Yeah. That's definitely it. [...but wow.] Sounds like it'd get really boring just waiting around. I'll see about sending some people your way. Unless you wanna be alone?
So that's what you're into. [That's fine by him, he can definitely make that work.] I'll see what I can do. A surprising amount of people actually think I have good ideas.
None taken. [Yeah he's not sure either. But this has given him some things to think on, and he shifts to stand up.] Like I said, I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll come back later this week if you want company.
[Again, still pretty sure it sucks for all of the NPCs to be stuck, but it's fine.]

Depends on what you mean about "anything else".
no subject

no subject
[He nods. And that's it, that's the answer.]
Not that I'm allowed to talk about it. Secret rules and all. Demons. Whatever.
no subject
There really isn't a way around that? Or a way to at least get a hint?
no subject
[c'mon, demons, have a bit of chill!]
no subject
So there are benefits to fucking you guys. Unless I'm totally misreading that?
no subject
[He has NEVER in his LIFE felt like such a WHORE!!]
no subject
I'm gonna kill Polly. I'm gonna revive her, shove her back into a flesh body, and kill her. [WHY!!!!]
...how does that even work? Like...a one and done and we can actually get somewhere to solve stuff?
no subject
[And the fact that she didn't even seem sorry was the real kicker, honestly. Nathan does the opposite, absolutely chugging his beer.]
One fuck, one answered question. That's how I'm understanding it.
no subject
Wait does that also include Polly and Carlos...?
no subject
[He snorts, shrugs.]
Can't really speak for anyone other than myself but I wouldn't be surprised if we got stuck with a similar shit-contract.
no subject
[...just. Rubbing the back of his neck. Cool. Great. Fine.] You're right. Shit's fucked up.
no subject
[He shrugs.]
They just can't handle my charm. It's overwhelming, I get it.

Hey, if you're gonna put in a good word for me anyway, can you put the women around here at the top of the list?

[Thanks, Nathan.]
No offense, mate. You just don't strike me as the type I'd look at and go, "that's him, the one I'm placing all my cards on".

Keep your dick outta demon crazy!

Easier said than done, man. [Demons are bad. But off he goes. Thanks Nathan. He'll come back later
when you guys aren't swamped]
