...Just for the record, I don't think that's going to work.

[But hey, don't let him stop you. He's just taking his break from working at Victori Garden. Keep up with the show, bro.]

[xtsundereprince]

It's worth a shot!

[ But he's getting winded already. Yep, the coral's just not cracking. So... heaving now. But he gives it just one more kick. ]

Stupid lamufao.

[ Unfortunately, like a shark on a bleeding hunk of meat, he's now got his attention on Lea. ]

Hey you. What date is it?

[prominence_glow]

[For some reason, he has a bad feeling about this.]

August thirteenth. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what date it is. It's the one everyone else seems to agree on.

[xtsundereprince]

[ There should be Jaws music playing in the background. The power of the scarf compels you. ]

Augus-- WHAT?!

[ Further explosions. Okay. Calming down. ]

Two days back home and it's almost been a year? What's wrong with this city?!

[pristinestar]

[Catching your wrist now, Laharl dear.]

Wait, calm down. You'll only tire yourself.

[xtsundereprince]

[ He stops, though still growling slightly at the coral. The hand goes slack though as he pulls it away to fold his arms across his chest.

If looks could kill, that coral would be smoldering. ]

Still here, huh, Red?

[pristinestar]

Oh, you're-

[No wonder the figure seemed familiar. Now that he could make out the other boy's face, a slow smile comes.]

Laharl...

[xtsundereprince]

[ And a smirk as he taps a foot. ]

Took ya long enough to figure it out. Looks like nothing's changed. How long's it been since I was last here anyway?

[thetrollprince]

[That statement. It stops Izaya cold in his tracks and he whips his head around. Honestly, he had been walking back to his place and had initially ignored the boy but that.

Yeah, that has his complete attention. His face is serious for a moment but then he forces a smile.

He starts back towards where he saw the--...What the hell is he doing? But then surprisingly, Izaya sighs, empathetical, and wanders close but not too close.

This kid is freaking out though. Maybe he's hysterical. Izaya moves fast annnd- whipped out flickblade, stepped between boy and coral and brought blade up to catch the next swing from the sword.

Don't worry~! He's used this knife to fight off demon blades before. It's fine.]
That's not gonna change anything, you know.

I get it. You're a kid, but that doesn't mean you have to act irrationally. Since when do irrational animals survive, hn? That's exacccctly right, they don't~!

[He sighs heavily. His arm shakes a little but that's all that shows the effort of stopping a sword. Who is this guy anyway...]This

[xtsundereprince]

[ The knife cuts him off mid swing but he takes this as a sign to back off albeit with much reluctance. ]

Hey! What's the big deal?! And I'm not a kid! I'm a demon!

[ But he plops right down, arms crossed over his chest and the sword by his side. ]

Yeah, the coral does some pretty stupid things. It stuck me here for months then sent me back and grabbed me again after two days!

[thetrollprince]

Really? Could have fooled me.

[Man, why do all these brats get to be demons and other cool things like that? Tch. He really got ripped off. He flicks his blade shut and puts it away. He squats down in front of this ki- demon and puts his elbows on his knees.]

Nya yeah, yeah! That's what happened to me. It felt like I was gone for a while though. What's your name? And...

Are you really a demon? [That's so interesting! Really, it is.]

[xtsundereprince]

Of course I'm a demon!

[ Do you not feel the evil radiating from him? Those swarthy eyes? That arrogant demeanor? That malicious intent flowing from those cockroach like antennae atop his regal head?

...yeah, didn't think so. ]

Overlord Laharl. From the Netherworld. Who the hell are you? Don't remember seeing you around here the first time.

[garbagecanned]

[Where's his popcorn...

Oh, maybe he should say something.]

Dude, I don't think hitting the coral's going to do anything.

[xtsundereprince]

[ Still smashing! Still... smashing... still.... damned coral. Not breaking.

So he stops and plops right down, taken to just glaring at it. ]

Hey! It was worth a try!

[garbagecanned]

[It's okay, he won't stop Laharl too much even if he picks it back up. I mean, revenge for when he fell into got beat up by it, right?]

Guess not. But I wouldn't waste your energy, if I were you.

[xtsundereprince]

[ You're just gonna get a little huff before folding his arms across his chest. ]

Who the hell are you anyway? And how dare you tell me what to do?!

[neutralblue]

...?

[Wow, this guy looks angry. But does that stop him from approaching?]

Who are you talking to?

[Nope!]

[xtsundereprince]

JUST.

[ Kick. ]

THIS.

[ Kick. ]

STUPID.

[ Kick. ]

CORAL.

[ Drawing away, panting now. Okay. Anger averted. Kinda. ]

[neutralblue]

[covers his ears during all that. Geez Laharl, why so loud? ;3; ]

...

Has it answered you yet?

[xtsundereprince]

Ch... no.

[ And he huffs, plopping right down and driving his sword into the ground beside him. ]

Who the hell're you?
