It's always the same. Grasping for straws in a heated discussion but the truth of the matter is that is what makes a lot of you undeniably fragile. [It's what draws Tyki to humans. It's a reason why I enjoys their company even if he is out to destroy every last one of them in the end. Despite his violent and belief that a lot of meaningless he still reaches out for small things like friends and family.] Things like this repeat themselves over and over.

It doesn't matter what or who we send out. How kind that 'they' are giving 'us' a choice. Lessen the blame, further the risks, deny the consequences. It's almost human.

But in light of all that I will be borrowing the Colosseum for the next three hours. Remove your curiosity for a short while and don't approach. It disturbs the process and I honestly will not take the blame if accidents happen or the weak of stomach cave in on themselves. Especially you, Yu Kanda.

In fact, the Exorcist has been a hermit within his house for a while now. I was rather surprised to see him at the ball at all. Someone be a dear and go tend to him and keep him busy. He could use a friend. Maybe even a lady friend. Sure, he's a little rough around the edges, a little pushy and hard headed but the lot of you obviously despise gentlemen and common courteous behavior so he should fit right in. No man should confine himself inside of his house for long. [Tyki obviously doesn't care. He was the enemy. This is just his way of picking fun. He's aware of the swordsman's tendencies to see no reason to come out of his house because he found little fun in anything.]

[Action]

[Anyone walking in on such a public place will find over twenty dead corpses of creatures scattered about. He doesn't need interference. There was maybe two people/friends he wouldn't mind there. The rest of Hadriel should simply stay away. He'll even look a little annoyed. He's trying to breed his babies here...]

[Well. That's far more irritable than she can ever recall seeing Tyki, so that alone is enough to make her curious. But rather than ask on a public channel, she'll talk to him privately. The gods can probably still see if they really want to, but that should at least keep everyone else from butting in.]

I see you're as unimpressed by the histrionics as I am.

[Video / Private]

[prazerbutterfly]

[He's usually all smiles and grins constantly. His face never changes from this unless someone manages to sour his always content mood. It's when his smile drops completely will everyone be in any true danger.]

Very. It's basic politics. An unified reasoning on what should be done and what shouldn't. I feel if they wanted to do this they should have just done it. What say do we actually have? It really is almost human.

[elegant_and_proud]

I suspect they were incapable of reaching a conclusion among themselves, so they gave us some small illusion of choice and enjoyed the snack it got them. Notably, they declined all suggestions of changing the pairs around.

[Still, she did cast her vote and expressed her reasoning on why certain options were better than others.]

Did you vote, or did you roll your eyes at everyone's foolishness and move on?

[Video / Private]

[prazerbutterfly]

What works well, works well. Change is not something just anyone is willing to put up with. It's why their poor decision right now is reflecting on us, not them. Again, quite human.

[Pardon a few squishing noises. She's free to come over if she wants. He won't deny her company ever unless he just didn't want her to see something.]

I voted but for my own reasons. If one of them dies I am not entirely going to cry about it.

[Video / Private]

[elegant_and_proud]

[She's dealt with enough squishing noises in her profession that she's not bothered by them, but it's enough that she's not in a hurry to run over there and see the mess that's undoubtably surrounding him at the moment.]

Most people won't, I suspect. The events the gods put on recently were a good start toward improving their relations with us...but they still have a long way to go. And some will never like them.

[She knows Tyki's got a personal dislike of gods and won't push him on that. The gods have given little reason for him to change his mind.]

Will you join me for dinner later?

[Video / Private]

[prazerbutterfly]

[He had given fair warning to the populace for several reasons. One, because not everyone wasn't disgusted by this kind of thing. Two, it was rather dangerous to be on the feeding end of these creatures and three, it would complicate things if anyone went about destroying them or the bodies.]

It matters not if people do or don't. Someone will and that will decide for everyone. A vote doesn't matter if it isn't picked. It can only be used for pointing fingers later.

But of course. Should I try to pick anything up?

[Video / Private]

[elegant_and_proud]

We shall simply have to wait and see.

[Wait and see, and stock up on non-perishable food before the official decision is made just in case there were enough people who voted for Hope and Sorrow to go. Although thankfully, despite all the silly bickering, it at least looked as though that choice was the least popular one.]

Hmm....

[She puts on a show of looking like she's seriously mulling it over, but in reality, she has all the supplies she needs for dinner, and whatever she doesn't have, she'll be able to pick up long before he's done.]

Flowers and candles. Absolutely essential supplies.

[They do both like things classier than the average resident here, but she's mainly saying this in jest to amuse him a little. He seems like he's stressed out, and if she can do a few simple things to alleviate that, so much the better.]

[Video / Private]

[prazerbutterfly]

You know as well as anyone else that I am too impatient for that. They'll leave and we'll have to wait. Countless months maybe for possibly no return at all if it fails.

[He has his reasons for Rage. That was the first god he owed his damned thanks to in ruining what could've been a subtle entry. Confusion was due next for her mess of his friendship with some people. If he had any friends at all he could really only say she was. Sans he was a friend of but it wasn't returned. Others are just acquaintances.

There is a hint of an amused hum as he takes him to look back at the video feed. She's teasing and he knows it but he's waiting patiently just to contradict his own words.
He could be patient if he was in the mood.]

If the lady wishes.

[Video / Private]

[elegant_and_proud]

I do hope there will be time to talk to the pair that get sent. I have a few things I want to know about their enemies.

[The gods, after all, did not seem to always understand how humans and human-like beings operated. If they're going to do some reconaissance, they should gather information that's actually useful for more than eight beings here.]

So accommodating.

[A short pause, before she asks,]

Are the Tease capable of eating through metal?

action; hope you don't mind? I can delete if you want!

[ Will was actually in the area when he saw Tyki's broadcast. He'd been out for a long always curious. In fact, he remembered the last time he spoke to Tyki, he'd had him over at the apartment to help clean up a certain mess... Had Will been in his right mind at the time, he would have asked more questions and even sneak in a sly look now and then, but he'd been too traumatized to even think of it.

Now, however, now Will was in a much better place (well...) And so thought there couldn't be any harm in popping his head in and seeing what it was Tyki was up to. ]

Tyki? ...

[ He called out as he started to walk through one of the corridor entrance of the colosseum. He was not ready for what he was about to see. ]

action; I don't mind at all! Action is always welcome unless stated otherwise!

[prazerbutterfly]

[He really had meant to check on him more just because he was always amused by those that seemed to regret murder. It was the true human thing to do. They loved, they used and they destroyed. It was in their nature. It's why he enjoys them so much even if he'll eradicate every last one of them in the end.

In truth everyone should be most grateful this wasn't back at home.

He'll be greeted to Tyki easily carrying a rather large corpse to the middle of the Colosseum. The sound of his voices causes his head to cant backwards not in alarm but slight annoyance. It seems not everyone noticed the broadcast or just chose not to listen. He is then greeted with a rather bright smile as if he was hiding the fact there were dozens or so scattered about.]

Hello, Mister Graham. To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?

action; Yay! thank you

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ The only real thing Will regretted about murdering, was how easy it was. Actually no, that's a bare-faced lie. He also regretted how good it felt, how powerful it made him feel and how once you had committed it, it tainted your mortal soul. Will was close to a turning point before he arrived here in this cave, close to a point of no return, a game changer that would have seen him sporting a very different view on life and death. Shame he hadn't yet walked those crossroads before he met Tyki.

Everything about Tyki scared Will. How much of a gentleman he was, his polite if not a little lazy mannerisms and how fancy he seemed to dress. Someone like Tyki just screamed psychopath... And yet here Will was drawn to him. How queer...

As first, Will didn't even notice what Tyki was actually saying to him. No, instead, Will was slowly pulling off his glasses, looking around the wide open space at the countless corpses that scattered and littered the ground.

Stepping closer, over and past a few corpses on his way to Tyki, his heart pounding from shock yet he was compelled to investigate despite himself. ]

I er... I was in the neighborhood...

[ A puzzled expression pulled over his brow as Will tipped his head, looking at the body Tyki was holding. ]

Need any help?

[ Squinting his eyes closed as soon as he spoke. He realized that sounded so much more differently than how he'd meant for it to come across. Quick to correct himself, Will stuttered. ]

I- I-I mean... What happened here exactly? Monsters?

action;

[prazerbutterfly]

[Isn't it? It's that absolute feeling of pleasure when one takes a life. Tyki loves the pleasure of killing. The look on their faces, the empowerment of the situation. The realization that it was absolute and nothing could change it.

He lets him look because here in Hadriel he had nothing to hide once it was out in the open and sure he could've said nothing at all. People would come anyways. Right now all that mattered was the look on Will's face. Constantly changing he couldn't quite pinpoint how he was feeling yet his words were enough.]

Not unless you don't mind carting the last of the bodies into a place where there isn't one with enough space to breathe. [Tyki is watching him now as he drops the body onto the ground with little care. His smile widens almost to a firm grin. No use hiding now.] I killed them. Every last one of them because I needed them.

action;

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Will's eyes glazed over with tears that refused to fall. His brow furrowed and his lips twisted up in confusion. Sure, he heard what Tyki had said, he understood it perfectly well but he didn't quite get it just yet. Give him a moment Tyki, he's good at this. ]

... You... You killed all of them?

[ Turning around, a full circle one way, then half the other before looking back at Tyki from over a shoulder. He was overwhelmed with the sadness and sorrow of death. So many, such a mass number to even start to count. Will kneels down and started to feel for a pulse in the throats of the nearest 3 bodies.

There was a panic setting in his eyes but just as soon as he had discovered that, yes, everyone here was, in fact, dead, Will began to grow calm again. Taking one of the corpses by the wrists, Will started to drag them out into a more spacious part of the arena. He was helping, if only to try and better understand why. ]

You need all of them? ... And you need all of them now? You had to have them all gathered together...

[ As his eyes scanned over the dead, Will started to see Tyki's plan. A horrifying downside to his empathy and over active imagination. ]

... It has to be somewhere you can control... a frenzie?

[ He was close, he knew he was, he could feel it. Yet due to the unnatural nature of Tyki's plan, Will was struggling with the last few details. ]

action;

[prazerbutterfly]

All of them. [He repeats it more smooth this time and with more of a low affirmative tone. Some of them recently and some of them hours ago. Some were killed and then stored underground. There are likely more underground in Hadriel. If he looked closely he could see the various amount of rot on a few of the larger ones. Once he's done with the large one that looks to be half of a troll he'll allow the blood and filth to slide off his hands as if it just fell off.

The feeling of being watched is likely apparently as his eyes have not left Will for a moment. There is something about watching it all click into place when it comes to new acquaintances and new prey. The lines blur occasionally and what was what and who was what. He's not actively hunting anyone here and that was a good thing. Any event could easily change that if he was manipulated through emotion. He's a threat but not always but that could be said for a lot of Hadriel.]

All of them. Preferably in a wide and open space. It saves me time in the end to do it all at once. They are voracious eaters and having them out away from everyone is safer.

action;

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Will's eyes were trained well as well as looking on their own. He was good at his job back home, because he found it hard not to look. So, once he spotted the rot and festering flesh of some of the dead, Will took a deep breath and held it for some time before letting his voice slip out once more. ]

You have... More in waiting... In case this isn't enough... In case you need to make more... Make more what?

[ The last part was more directed at himself, talking out loud as the thought jumped out at him like salmon heading upstream. Will turned his attention back to Tyki, more importantly to his face and the expression on it. Will could feel his intent as he slowly unraveled the mystery of his design.

Walking towards him. Will wasn't fearless, no, not at all! He was, in fact, the opposite. Everything Will did was out of fear, yet he had this pull towards evil and unhealthy things like it was a part of him, rooted way down in the pit of his soul. ]

They are your children... And you're a proud father, I can see that much just from your eyes... I don't think I've known spawn like yours before, Tyki.... And I don't want to become food for them...But I...

[ He swallowed the lump in his throat. This felt very much like going back to a firework once you lit the fuse. But he had to. ]

... But I'd like to see them.

action;

[prazerbutterfly]

[To say Tyki was intrigued would be a vast understatement. He was thoroughly invested now that he was taking notice. He wanted him to keep talking. He wanted him to look deeper.]

If I were to tell you what they were would it ruin the surprise, Mister Graham?

[Because if he really wanted to see he could just stick around. It's something that he doesn't have to say because Will is already waiting to see them. He's pleasing Tyki even more. The curiosity and the draw of the other to the situation was invigorating. Will won't die. He'll stop them before that happens but they'll be wanting to eat. He'll notice the massive corpse in the middle isn't moving at all. There is nothing implanted inside. Yet the one Will had just placed he's leaning down over and pressing his hand against it. If he's observant enough he'll notice his fingers twitch as something passes out of it and into the corpse. It only takes one to make a multitude.]

As you wish. You just have to be patient.

[beanstalk]

[ Tyki can you like....stop calling him out over the network? Thx. Also he doesn't need a girlfriend either!! Jeez, it's like the Noah was purposefully going out of his way to fluster him. Good thing it didn't work when they weren't together.... ]

Gee, the way you call me out like that makes me think you're breeding more Tease. [ Which makes him want to go out there and poke the damned creepy butterflies. Because, you know, they were fucking creepy. ]

[prazerbutterfly]

[He can't. He knows you hate it. It's just something he's going to keep doing because he can. A girlfriend would keep Kanda distracted at least. He's not sure how Kanda handles women but it was worth a shot.]

If that is or isn't the case you should very much stay where you are regardless. I have better things to do right now than babysit you and make sure you don't touch anything.

[beanstalk]

[ He does hate it ):< It's annoying!! But lol, good luck trying to hook him up with someone, because he's just flat out a dick to everyone. Love? Nah bro, no love for anyone special here. Not anymore. Not since Alma. ]

I'm not the one making it obvious as to what I'm doing. Keep telling me to stay away and it just makes me want to come over more.

[prazerbutterfly]

[At least someone he can hang out with and not be hermiting in his house to be able to arise at the first sign of trouble. It would make right now so much easier.

Enjoy the sound of wet splatter as corpses literally just fall from his hands.]

It's not the point of doing what I'm doing or not. It's the point of you staying away because there is no need for you or anyone to be here.

[beanstalk]

[ He likes being a hermit. Besides, had he not been called out, he wouldn't be staring at his door with a taunting smirk right now. He's totally considering it just to mess with Tyki.

Call it payback for messing with him at the ball. ]

Shouldn't have even mentioned it, then. Now people are going to want to drop by and see what you're up to.

Even if it's obvious you're breeding creepy ass butterflies.

[prazerbutterfly]

[Is the door mocking you? He would. At least it got him out and about. He loved getting under Kanda's skin.

The ball was worth it. The whole day had been worth it.]

Surprisingly it'll keep most from accidentally walking in as well. At least if something happens or someone loses an arm I did warn them.

[beanstalk]

[ Get out with your door jokes >:( He is getting up though and making a move toward his door. Totally messing with Tyki now.

At least someone enjoyed themselves. Kanda certainly didn't. Mostly. You know what, get out! He's not discussing his feelings! ]

If something happens, it's still on you, warning or no.

[prazerbutterfly]

[Never. He's not really paying attention maybe to also mess with him because he is arms deep in corpse right now and it is messy work. That is a lot of squishing noises.

Good food, good wine, good company, a laugh here and there. He's also got a full closet now. Ikaruga was pleased. He couldn't ask for more and wouldn't. It wouldn't hurt to live a little more.]

It's not and I'll not take responsibility for it.
