[ The PDA seems to be laying on the ground, until a gloved hand reaches down to pick it up. A white-haired man is holding it, dressed in blue, but his face seems to be transfixed in pain, and he's leaning against a wall in what appears to be an alleyway. ]

Ugh... damn you, Dante...

[ Vergil said, trying to get to his feet. Considering he just got

[Too many humans? Well isn't that interesting.]

I might be able to help. Can you step out of the alley? I need to see where you are.

[Audio]

[notneloyet]

[ Well hello there, large breasted woman with blonde hair that eerily reminds him of his mother. He's immediately suspicious, but he's not in much of a position to turn down potential help. ]

... Alright.

[ There he goes, inching out, to reveal the nameless district. ]

[diamondsare]

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Would it be too much trouble to ask that you stay on the line? I'd rather not run all the way over there only to find that you've already bled to death.

[notneloyet]

... Right.

[ Vergil's starting to get dizzy, and he leans up against the side of a building. The wounds are knitting themselves back together, but he's taken just one too many hits from Dante and Arkham for this to be a simple recovery. He's gonna need some kind of medical attention. ]

[Audio]

[diamondsare]

By the way, what did you mean by 'too many humans'?

[Emma's going to stick with audio for now. Better to not cause a potential freakout by using her diamond form on camera. She'll get there faster if she doesn't have to stop to catch her breath.]

[Audio]

[notneloyet]

I may pass for human myself, but there is more than just human blood in my veins. I think that can suffice for now.

[ He's seeing small flashes before his eyes, a sign of his brain not getting enough blood. He's clutching his stomach, but his blood is clotting now, at least. ]

[Audio]

[diamondsare]

[If she could feel anything in this state, she'd be amused.]

How mysterious. Let me guess, you're a mutant? Or, perhaps, you're a mutate? Have to keep you talking, darling, I don't want you to pass out.

[Audio]

[notneloyet]

Mutant?

[ He sounds dazed. ]

No... I'm half demon.

[ It's information he normally wouldn't share, but he isn't exactly thinking that clearly now. ]

[Audio]

[diamondsare]

Half demon? How...different.

I'm passing through a gate now. One more, and I should be in your district. Has the bleeding stopped yet?

[Audio]

[notneloyet]

Hnngg... it's slowed down, yes.

[ Damage is done at this point, though. His breathing sounds labored. It's possible that his lungs were collapsing. ]

[Audio]

[diamondsare]

[Oh hell, slowed down or not, that really doesn't sound good.]

If you have any sort of demonic powers that could help with this, I suggest you tell me now before I get there. That way I know what I'm working with.

[Unfortunately, Emma doesn't have too much experience when it comes to demons and their powers.]

[Audio]

[notneloyet]

They don't... consist of healing. [ Coughs. ]

Damn you... Dante...

[Audio]

[diamondsare]

Lovely.

[She can see the entrance to the district from here, so it shouldn't be too much longer.]

Dante? Let me guess, that's who did this to you, right?

[Audio]

[notneloyet]

He is... my brother. [ More coughing. Breathing hurts him. ]

[Audio -> Action]

[diamondsare]

Ah, say no more.

[Family drama. There's a subject Emma understands rather well.

No time for swapping stories though since Emma has finally arrived in the Nameless District. She takes a moment to shift back to her normal flesh and blood body before immediately heading for the alley, arriving soon after.]

I do hope this is the right place. Still alive over there?

[Action]

[notneloyet]

[ A weak cough in response. His lungs are collapsing. ]
