5th slash | accidental audio;

[deadcenter]

[...You know, Senji usually isn't one to read much. Today he was set on reading this magazine of his, it was all about training and working out and little tips here and there. Even though he had been fighting for years, he still loved reading about this macho bullshit. He shifted in his seat and must have bumped his bracelet, because suddenly it's recording.

Seeing Senji read said magazine catches Battler's attention. Although this curious expression can't be seen. His voice can be suddenly heard over the audio feed. ] --Ahh? You know, I didn't know that they had magazines here, and in that case-- they have all sorts of other stuff to read too, I bet!

....Hah? [who dis bitch-.... oh it's Ange's brother, that idiotic pervert.] What're you talkin' about?

Come on, you know! Those kinds of magazines! The kind that a true man can appreciate!

Can't a guy appreciate some training.....?

Training and stuff like that can be pretty fun, sure... But, there's a lot more to life then that to begin with, isn't there?

Cheh... oh yeah, like what? [obviously he doesn't agree with that statement one bit.]

Hm? Like what? You know...! Being surrounded by woman-- but if you ask me, it's being surrounded by their breasts specifically that makes life worth living, ihihihihihi!

[Well then! Guess who is turning bright red and is suddenly fumbling on his words.] W...wh...wha?! How the shit can you even say that?! That ain't.... that just....! [and of course saying there's more to women than just that would be such a pussy move on his part, so he refrains from that. Instead he's just moving to stand up, time to walk away from him!!] You're fuckin' weird!

[And cue Battler following him] C, C'mon, it's not weird, is it? As a man, there's nothing wrong with appreciating the female body! And as a shameless breast sommelier, it just so happens that that's the very first thing I notice when it comes to a girl...! You're also at that age where you can agree a little!

[NOOOO DON'T FOLLOW HIM! People will get the wrong idea!!] S-seriously! What is it with everyone around here-?! How is that all anyone thinks about?!

Once, you get a handful of perfectly soft, plump, round breasts yourself, you'll understand perfectly yourself, I can guarentee it! We just need to find the right woman, and you'll know exactly what it means to be a man.

[And here's the sound of Senji's footsteps walking faster, maybe even jogging?!] Whoa what-?! Stop that! Stop it right now! Keep following me and you're dead...!

[By the sounds of it, Battler still doesn't stop talking about such a thing.]

(ooc: Battler is blue and Senji is bold. Replies will come from both of them.)

[highstakesgame]

Oh, I doubt you've heard the whole story.

[god knows it's the weirdest story ever]

Perhaps I am not the one most deserving of revenge here. Although I'm sure that would make things awkward with her brother, in any event.

[deadcenter]

And just why would that make things aw-....

[.....]

...You said he was married to a witch.... didn't you? Don't tell me.... you?

[highstakesgame]

Mmmhmm!

To be perfectly fair, I would not blame Ange one bit if she hated me. Although I certainly bear her no particular ill will.

But I'm sure you can see why it's a complicated situation.

[deadcenter]

[This is such a shitty situation...]

...Can't imagine why the guy would marry someone that tortured him and even killed his family.

You're all kinda fucked in the head, aren't you?

[highstakesgame]

The torture was all of his own devising. If he had just listened to me all along, his family would've been resurrected much sooner!

[Ange was kinda screwed from the get-go, though]

[deadcenter]

[Well.... from what he's gathered from Ange, sorry Beato but that rubs him the wrong way.]

Look-.... I don't know what kinda weirdo magic you got goin' on, but killing someone's family just 'cause and saying someone else should have done something better in order to get them back just isn't right.

And trust me- I've murdered countless people, I know what's wrong.

[highstakesgame]

Right or wrong, it was never quite as simple as all that. And it was never 'just because'.

If you must know, they were offered up as sacrifices by Ange's grandfather in order to resurrect me.

Well, the first time, anyway.

[deadcenter]

Sacrifice or not- it sounds like some sick fuckin' game where you witches are getting off to it.

Your powers don't mean shit here, so you better not pull that kinda crap again.

[highstakesgame]

Well, yes. That's just how we are.

[she felt kind of abashed at first, but now? NAAAAAAAAAAAH]

I could hardly try anything even if I wanted to here. I don't possess a single scrap of my actual powers. Only the ones that the so-called gods here have deigned that I should have.

[deadcenter]

And what kind of powers did they even give you?

[highstakesgame]

Telekinesis.

Sadly, it is not as versatile as I had hoped.

[deadcenter]

Sounds kinda boring if you ask me.

[highstakesgame]

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

And yourself?

[deadcenter]

Well I would.

Strength of course, the gods knew exactly what I wanted.

[highstakesgame]

You are a man who sees the world in black and white, aren't you?

[deadcenter]

...Nah, I think I'm the only one that can see all the colors.

[highstakesgame]

Clever boy!

But you know, if you see one thing and everyone else sees something different, you might not be the one in the right there!

[deadcenter]

You sure about that?

I'm pretty positive that everyone else out there chooses to not even see the real truth- ya know. People can't see what they don't wanna see.

It's that kinda ignorance that gets you killed.

[highstakesgame]

A notion I am all too familiar with. Although 'truth' is a heavily subjective notion in and of itself.

[deadcenter]

Keh... whatever, humans are just selfish little shits.

[he's met some people that have proved him wrong, but he can't say the same for the rest of the people out there.]

[highstakesgame]

[*cackle*]

Is it possible that we aren't so different, you and I?

[deadcenter]

Nah, we're completely different.

And that's saying something when a murderer doesn't want to be grouped with someone like you.

[highstakesgame]

Are we?

Well, I suppose I at least have the capability to bring back those I murder.

[so she can do it again, but that is neither here nor there]

[deadcenter]

...Bring back-?

Hah, yeah right. Once they're dead they're dead. There ain't no comin' back.

[highstakesgame]

That is what it means to have the title 'Eternal Witch'. To repair what has been broken - endlessly.

If you disbelieve, ask Battler. My Seven Sister of Purgatory have killed him more than once.

[actually, it's like a fun game for them]
