Okay am home ^^

Great work! One tiny thing:
you forgot to capitalize Collector at the beginning of the fourth paragraph. Aside from that, it's WHOA AWESOME and I like it very much, especially this: Naoki knew that for all the charisma of Futomimi, Sakahagi, Dante, it was the Collector that he liked. AWWW. It's so very believable XD The Collector is pretty much the least creepy person you interact with, and that's with the shakes and all.

Interesting detail to have the Collector have a sandy texture :)

Dante still looking for a way to retrieve Vergil from the underworld,

YOURE' BREAKING MY WIDDLE HEART.

It simply hadn't occurred to him to think of another creature in the circular world with the same determination to always go about his own business.

That is so cute.

He should have known he was asking for trouble with that, but there was something infectious about the Collector's enthusiasm even when it meant narrowly avoiding an injection of goodness knew what after going through instructions in another manual.THIS IS CUTER

Ooh! Thanks for the pointer! *runs to fix

[nyxmidnight]

No prb.

Oh yeah, that was all sorts of lols and awws. Although now the tied spread eagle thing is giving me dirtywrongbad thoughts...

*nodnod* I found it interesting, since personally I imagine the Manikins as having more of a soft, moist clay texture. God molding man from clay and breathing life into him and such... but dry clay would have a more grainy texture, now that I think about it.

Teehee! Oh I'm sure he messes with other people's stuff... if that stuff could be of human origin :D

And I KNOW with the injection thing, go figure, the Collector's probably the only person you could ever forgive for accidentally giving you SARS or something.

ROFL. Too true XD XD XD

That was an AWESOME response to my prompt and I am delighted that you were the one to write it! *GLOMP!* Thank you!

*Tilts her head.* Interesting. I'm just about through with Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, so I finally actually know all of this stuff. I think it's cute, and definetely not what I was expecting of this pairing.

[emerald_embers]

Coolies :D.

Honestly, when I picked this up I didn't have the *slightest* idea where it was going to go, and had to beat it into submission a few times. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, even if it is a little bit odd, so I'm glad you thought it cute ^^.

'Cause I am an eternally nosey beggar, can I ask what sort of thing you would expect of this pairing? I'm always fascinated by the way people pick up different vibes from the games :).

[belladonna12]

Honestly, I'm not sure what I would have expected myself. Perhaps it comes from my own view of Naoki/Shura/Shu. I tend to bounce between a kind of snarky, sarcastic one and a 'how did I get stuck with this lot of raving loonies?' one. Depending on which one, I'd say some teasing about his habit of collecting anything and eveything related to humans to just kind of amused tolerance of it all. Then again, that's me. *Snuggles Futomimi plushie.*

Awwww. Don't know the game that well, so I can't comment on characterization, but I definitely like the fic. The searching for different things for maybe not so different reasons bounces them off each other really well.

[emerald_embers]

Thank you! It's definitely interesting knowing that the story works without really knowing the characters, just from a general writing point of view :).

And I'm really glad you liked it! Thank you ^^. *hugs*
