[ There's a fzzzzt at the feed comes on, hologram screen taking a moment to adjust and focuses on a light-haired man prodding at the bracelet. ]

Well, what've we got here? [ He raises a brow, poking through the hologram, distorting the image, with what appears to be the end of a pistol. A pretty big one, at that. ] Hm.

[ With that, he plops down casually into a chair, rocking it immediately back on its hind two legs. ] As much as I love the thought of having an audience, it just isn't the same when we're separated by technology. [ He twirls the pistol back and forth on his forefinger, not seeming to be bothered at all by the fact it's nearly the size of his head. ] So, let's make this dance easy, shall we?

[ He stops playing with the gun, propping his feet up on a nearby end table console. ]

I'm not buyin' into all of this fairytale bull. Not gonna say this place couldn't do with a few good coats of paint, but I distinctly turn down offers of construction and interior design--way too boring. So let's talk money and maybe I'll reconsider.

I know it's not the most fun to hear, but the grouchy lady in the palace? Isn't lying to you. And you really don't have a choice about your location. Promise, the bristly rebellious thing? Doesn't getcha far. Been there, done that. Still stuck. Been here for... Let's just say awhile.

[ He raises a brow. ]

We've only just met and you've shot me down twice. I haven't booked my vacation home just yet--I've got better investments for my time and money.

If you define shooting down as giving information? Sure, whatever. I'm just telling you what's going on.

Hey, maybe I like a little rebellion on a Tuesday night. Besides, you haven't had a leader like me before, babe.

Haven't had, don't need. I handle leaderiness on my own, thanks.

Independent woman. I like that.

Very. Heaps of independent, actually. In charge of whole world-saving brigades.

If you were hoping to address those responsible for your appearance in this place, I fear you'll be disappointed. It appears that the bracelet has been provided merely to allow us to communicate with our fellow abductees.

Well shit. As fun as it is, bitching you all is only cathartic for a little while. Where's the complaint department?

Ironically, the lack of a complaints department seems to be a fairly common complaint.

Ain't that just the shit.

Indeed.

Seems like a crappy way to run things to me.

Certainly less than desirable on our parts, but very effective -- I don't know of anyone who has escaped.

I don't think you can get paid to do that but I know there's other jobs around the city that do.

You'd be surprised what I can get paid to do.

Like what, mister?

[Sora, he's your age. No mister!]

[ Yeah, he's not too big on that one either. You can see the cringe. ]

First, let's drop the "Mister" before I turn into your grandpa.

Then what should I call you?

"Dante" works just fine, ya know.

Dante-san then.

[Honorifics: can't escape them.]

I'm Naegino Sora, it's nice to meet you.

...Right. [ He can deal with that. ]

That's a nice mouth full. How about we stick to "Sora", eh?

Sounds fair to me.

So where are you from?

A way shittier place than this.

I guess this place is better than home then.

[The first thing that catches his interest is...] Hey, what's the model of that pistol you got there?

[ He raises a brow and lifts right gun, Ivory, up to inspect her himself. ] M1911, .50 calibur colt--customized, of course. These babies are one of a kind.

(( OOC; and then I remembered how fucking gigantic those guns were, DERP. ))

[HELLO DANTE you have a very nice image of some long legs before the bracelet pans up to her face. She knows your type so ridiculously well, you sound like Enzo.]

Well now, what do we have here, hmm? A mercenary for hire?

[ Well, hello there. She certainly does. He smirks and leans back in his chair. ]

I'm a many of many talents.

As I can tell. So what's your favorite, darling?

I'd like to leave that up to you.

[ He laces his fingers and rests them on his chest. ]

.... Dante?

[ Not a voice he recognizes, but... ]

Guess my reputation already precedes me.

You can't be... I suppose that the Gods here have a sense of humor.

How... how old are you?

Old enough to realize I'm about to be discriminated against. Don't let my charm and boyish good looks deceive you.

[ A person should never meet their heroes as teenagers. ]

You are not. I ... I know you.

[ Dante's here to crush your dreams. ]

What can I say? I'm a popular guy.

Yes.

[ Clears his throat, feeling it is best not to mention Dante's future, but instead say. ] Your father was a great inspiration to me.

...

[ Maybe if this weren't Dante you were talking to, a statement like that would be a compliment. But instead, he scoffs. ]

Guess you've got the wrong guy after all.

The Dark Knight Sparda... he is your father, is he not?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, whatever freaky fantasy you've made up that's getting you off at night isn't of any interest to me. And as a warning? The last guy who popped a glorified boner for him turned into a giant blob that exploded. I'm still picking pieces off my coat.

[ :T . . . :| ]

I do not wish to become as the Dark Knight Sparda. I know I am not worthy enough to do so. I look up to what it is that he was and all that he did for humanity. I cannot thank him for what he did, and so I must thank you.

[ And this will, unfortunately, have to count for what Dante will do in the future. ] So, please accept my thanks and gratitude.

[ This isn't awkward at all. ]

Yeah. I'll be sure to pass it at long at the next family reunion.

[ Credo supposes that's the best he can ask for in terms of Dante accepting his thanks. ]

Thank you.

So since we're practically bosom buddies at this point, mind telling me why people are sitting on their asses and playing along with this?

You did not read the letter?

... if we do not agree to these terms, there is a threat that our world will be destroyed. They have taken away our abilities, and while they gave us others to take their place, they are not enough to fight against them with ... it is only seemingly enough to fight in their war.

I read it.

Doesn't mean I want to sit around and play house for them in the meantime, though.

I would not expect you to, but do not... [ And he changes his tone. He sighs. ] ... just try to remain safe.

Aw, your concern is really cute. It's moving me.
