Nagi has been spending large amounts of time indoors to work on various computer projects.  He's ready for a change of scenery, so he takes his laptop out to a particular semi-wooded park that has a good wi-fi network.

He's still working, but he probably won't bitch too much about interruptions.

Rhys is tired. No, Rhys is exhausted and he doesn't want to go home or anywhere near it. Nexus it is... and this park looks good for a nap. Or a chat with an acquaintance, as he has seen Nagi working.

He wanders over, glancing at the laptop and not saying anything. If Nagi is working on that infernal machine, Rhys won't interrupt him.

[killwithmymind]

Nagi finishes off a line of code and glances over at Rhys. "Hey."

And then he looks again. "You get into a fight or something?"

[veryretired]

"Several." He sits stiffly next to Nagi. "How're you?"

[killwithmymind]

"Pretty good. You need first aid or food or anything? I'm not asking out of the kindness of my heart or anything. I have questions."

[veryretired]

"I've eaten and gotten my ouches bandaged. I just need to rest for, oh, three years? I don't mind answering questions, though."

[killwithmymind]

"Mmm. I've been there."

"This is all theoretical, by the way. I don't have any problems that need fixing or anything." Someone else does! "How do you get rid of demons in your world?"

[veryretired]

Rhys laughs for a little while too long, shaking his head. "You either kill the living shit out of them, or you force them back to their home with fire or bright spirits."

He leans back. "Why do you want to know?"

[killwithmymind]

Nagi nods to himself. "I can kill the shit out of stuff really well. Good."

"'Cause there've been alts from worlds like yours wandering through, and I wanted to make sure the guy knew what he was talking about. He couldn't afford to hire me anyway, but it's useful to know he was actually right."

[veryretired]

"Most people don't know how to kill demons these days... what guy was this? Why did he need to kill demons?"

[killwithmymind]

"Y'know, I never did get his name. I was too busy caling him an idiot for summoning demons he couldn't control to kill his dead to bother with introductions."

[veryretired]

Rhys snorts. "It's a common problem. What did he look like? Maybe I know him."

Rhys knows lots of people.

[killwithmymind]

"Like Andrew, only with a stick up his ass and shorter hair. Wait, have you met the Andrew in the Nexus? Um, Red hair. Purple eyes. Looks like he should be attached to a popsicle stick so you have an excuse to lick him all over."

[veryretired]

"...I've never met that Andrew." Rhys's face is best described as undescribable.

But rather unpleasant. "Bloody buggering slithering denizens of the lowest pits..."

[killwithmymind]

"Now that I think about it, he was looking for the version of you for his world. I guess you know him?"

[veryretired]

"You could say that. Long story short, we met, visited his barony, met his father, got away alive, travelled together... had lots of really amazing sex... and then his father caught up with us and it all went to hell."

Rhys closes his eyes and rubs his forehead. "If there was something I didn't need to be reminded of..."

[killwithmymind]

"Stick with only remembering the sex parts?" Nagi doesn't really do comforting all that well. Sorry.
