Ex-Gauge [3%] - Action

[Another scream, another kidnapping and another groan from Nero. He rolled onto his back on the bed, threw an arm over his face and swore vehemently.]

...Malnosso slumber party and I didn't even get an invitation. Least you could do is let me fucking sleep.

[It was a lost cause. Even when the journal grew quiet it just gave him more time to think ( Read more... )

there's a demon loose, trees meet your maker, mallynappings are bad for the complexion, stress relief

[It's not stalking if he doesn't hide, and by no means is Dante hiding as he kinda sorta follows Nero and watches from afar. Come to think of it, Dante hasn't actually spoken to Nero since he got here, either, so when's a better time than when he's out of sleep?]

[Action] Dude, I thought the Dante in this place was dead. What up brah? devil_reborn July 21 2009, 00:54:47 UTC
[Maybe never? Believe me, I think Nero would live. He didn't need the energy pulsing through his demon arm to tell him someone was following him. He'd felt it as soon as he entered the woods and was already fingering Blue Rose in preparation for an attack. Except the guy never really did anything except follow and Nero quickly grew bored of playing peek a boo. He had a short fuse this morning, so sue him.

He turned coat a flapping and pointed his gun in the direction of his stalker.]

I'm flattered but not interested. You got ten seconds...one...

[Action] Wasn't my best month with activity, I'll say that. badass_in_red July 21 2009, 09:25:39 UTC
[Well, Dante's gonna be out in the open here, and kind of waving. It might not be waving, so much as just moving his arms dramatically, but either way, he's walking towards Nero instead of away. And then there's that smirk plastered on his face.]

Two.

[Action] I hear you. devil_reborn July 21 2009, 14:57:28 UTC
[He only knows a few people that would walk toward a gun with a smirk plastered on. And only one of them didn't get it shot off their face.]

You're shitting me...old man, is that you?

[Now, proper etiquette dictates lowering one's weapon when recognizing an ally. Nero...took off the safety. Please, Nero? Proper? Since fucking when?]

Huh. Guess this place doesn't respect the young or the elderly...

[Dante's not backing down at all, but just walking towards Nero some more. Except, not his arms are crossed, and his expression drops a little. But only to feign being hurt.]

I'm hurt. Glad to see you're still kicking too, kid. [Dante is getting closer!]

[It really was him. You couldn't fake this kind of stupidity anywhere, it was one of a kind. Nero lowered his gun, putting the safety back on. No use wasting bullets, he'd need them later.]

Please, you think a place like this would do me in? If a geezer like you managed to survive I think I can hold my own.

[Nero put Blue Rose back in it's holster, leaning against a tree and giving Dante his full attention.]

How long have you been playing in this dump?

[That smirk was coming back, and Dante was making it known.] This geezer could still mop the floor with you, kid.

[As for Nero's second question, Dante took a moment, almost mockingly tapping his finger on his chin.]

Just about... almost six months.

Quite a pause there...what, did you forget?

[Nero shook his head in mock disappointment.]

Looks like your age is finally catching up with you old man. Either that or your delusions.

Still, if you move as quick as you talk...[Nero reached behind himself, unstrapping Red Queen and giving it a flick of the wrist, listening to her purr.]

...I got some time. Let's settle the score.
