045 - Disappointed

[devil_blue]

All this nonsense over some harmless, meager insects. To think that this place is so dull that insects inspire reactions of all kinds from people.

[A single feh]

Pathetic.

Have you seen any of them? I want to practice my magic.

[devil_blue]

None that are alive any longer. There are better things to test ones magic on, however.

[cloakand_danger]

Yeah? What do you think I should practice on, mister?

[devil_blue]

Birds. They're more worthy targets.

[A long pause as he identifies handwriting as slightly familiar.]

...Yuan?

[notinspandex]

But bugs are gross!

[devil_blue]

For some, that may well be. That does not excuse the maelstrom of activity over a handful of insects.

[oneto_one]

Whatever makes you think they're harmless?

They could simply have a very slow-acting poison, and people are going to die in droves in a day or two.

[pinkify]

Isn't that more of a reference to yourself?

[oneto_one]

We weren't very slow.

[twistedfortune]

What a clever idea~

[sinnedafewtimes]

It's not an uncommon phobia.

[devil_blue]

Then those that are afraid need to conquer that phobia.

[ontheclockpro]

So it's normal for you to have a handful of centipedes in your pocket?

[devil_blue]

I never said normal. I only said the reactions to it were out of proportion. On all ends.

After all, I wasn't screaming as a result.

[ontheclockpro]

..Aren't you the guy who stabbed someone because they played with you during a loss?

[devil_blue]

Those were very different circumstances and a very different loss. And the word play fails to grasp what he had actually chose to do.
