MISSION FOURTEEN

[with_liiiiiight]

[Dante is getting himself geared up for what might be the most rigorous fight he's had since arriving in Template. His grin is so big that it's nothing but overly-sharp teeth, and he seems to be having a spirited conversation with...his swords? Two of them, at least. Who are talking back]I TOLD you guys I wasn't going to take you anywhere if you

It's nice to know where your priorities are, demon hunter.

[with_liiiiiight]

Why the hostility? Is it someone's special time of the month? [sniffs, frowning] No, it's not that, so...what's got your panties in a twist?

[sevenxsorrows]

It's always that sort of response, isn't it? Something cheap and easy to fling out. Do you have anything better to belittle me with?

If I'm not mistaken, you could have lend aid, rather than romping out in a field, with your head up in the clouds.

[with_liiiiiight]

Oy, hackles down. If you've got a bone to pick with me, spit it out. I could think of better things to belittle you with all day, but that's not my style.

Are you dense? It's right there in front of you. Where were you.

And you're supposed to be Vergil's brother.

[with_liiiiiight]

My older self wanted the battle, so I gave it to him. I was there to back him up, if you missed that.

I am Vergil's brother, but that wasn't him. Not...my him, if that makes sense.

[sevenxsorrows]

That's not the issue.

That was your brother, your family and you're supposed to be aiding a family member, no matter what. I don't care what excuse you give me -- it's not going to work. You didn't even bother to help out, your older self has done more than enough here.
