[RL - Dante and Kadaj]

[dudeinred]

Dante's hanging out at Costa Del Sol, glancing around at the pedestrians irritably. He knows he was supposed to meet Kadaj here, but hasn't a clue as to the when, so now he's sitting here. Waiting.

Really pissed off, but hey, that's a given.

((Kadaj, this here's a placeholder post, since we haven't caught each other on AIM in like a week! We

After what could be an hour or so, Kadaj finally makes some kind of an appearance; he doesn't seem to be in the best of moods himself, a scowl on his face, his leather scuffed and torn in a couple of places. Truth is, he hasn't been home since fighting Larxene, and even a Potion or two won't help to cheer him up. He spots Dante and glares at him, skulking over to the man in red and stopping a short distance away, his voice edged with malice.

"So. You made it."

((OOC: I haven't been online properly for three days, yay.))

[dudeinred]

Dante's practically nodded off at this point, but he perks up immediately when he hears Kadaj's voice. He looks up and grins, and not in a friendly way.

"You kept me waiting, Princess."

((But you're hear now~! ^^))

[shinra_sucks]

"How many times have I told you not to call me that?" he sneers, one hand already on the hilt of his Souba. "Don't make me stain the sand red, Dante. They'll be hosing the beach down for weeks."

((OOC: But not for long! D: ))

[dudeinred]

Dante's grin fades, and he stands up, hands resting on his guns. "C'mon, these people are just gonna get in the way." He tilts his head. "I'm sure you've got a better idea than that."

[shinra_sucks]

"Get in the way?" Kadaj giggles, warming to the idea of combat now. "Oh no, Dante... they're more like some kind of appetiser."

[dudeinred]

"Careful," Dante warns, and he means it. "With an attitude like that, you're bound to spoil your appetite."

[shinra_sucks]

"Oh, you underestimate me, Dante-kins," Kadaj purrs dangerously, already scanning the crowds for a potential victim. His presence doesn't seem to have yet been noticed; perhaps the holidaymakers are too busy focusing on ejoying themselves to notice the black-clad little freak. "Let's see... how about a young female, hmm? A pretty little thing?"

[dudeinred]

Dante would really hate to open fire in public, but if Kadaj is going to start attacking people he's not going to have much of a choice. He watches him carefully. "Kadaj, you and I both know you've got questionable taste."

[shinra_sucks]

"Speak for yourself," he snickers, caressing the hilt of his sword almost lovingly. "After all, don't we both have a thing for mother figures...?"

[dudeinred]

Dante clenches his jaw, but doesn't rise to the bait. He thinks of Kadaj as more like an animal than a person, really, and he's not going to risk setting him off. "Whatever you say, Princess."

He hesitates before taking his eyes off Kadaj, and then he glances around. "But didn't your mother teach you how to treat company? I know you've got better accommodations that this."

[shinra_sucks]

"Accommodation?" he smiles, cocking his head to one side as he speaks; the gesture reminds Dante of an inquisitive puppy. "You think I'm actually going to take you home so you can hurt Yunalesca and the children? Dante, Dante, Dante... don't think me so foolish."

He neglects to mention that the demon-hunter already knows where the Forgotten Capital is; no matter. To be honest, Kadaj enjoys the verbal sparring almost as much as the swordplay.

[dudeinred]

"How many times do I gotta fucking say--" Normally, Dante would enjoy the verbal sparring, too, but not so much now. He's got way too much of his mind -- mostly the scores of innocent people around them. "Cutting up kids, that's your hobby. Stop projecting, kid."

[shinra_sucks]

"Fine, fine, you want to get down to the action... well, that's fine by me!" he grins cheerily, drawing the Souba and twirling it idly about in his hands. "Who do you want to see die first? That old woman over there? or how about that young couple soaking up the sun?"

[dudeinred]

Dante answers by drawing Ivory and levels it, aiming right at Kadaj's face. "Think you're fast enough?" he asks. "I'm faster."

[shinra_sucks]

"Oh yeah?" he smirks, already dodging to one side, heading in the direction of the couple he indicated. "Try me."

[dudeinred]

"Shit!" Dante starts after him, still unwilling to open fire in the crowd unless he absolutely has to. "You're a fucking coward, you know that, right?"
