Please, by all means, explain how "eventual manipulation by a dark lord," qualifies as a good time on my part?

...

Nothing?

Yeah, I thought so.

And don't compare Seimei to this Voldemort guy anymore, they aren't alike and you insisting on it won't change my mind about Seimei.

Seimei?

[in_loveless_memory]

My brother.... WHOM YOU ARE NOTHING LIKE. [You have a lot in common, actually. Obsession with a baby growing into teenager being one of them.]

[notquitebeloved]

Seimei isn't a dark lord. [...Despite everything said Seimei's done to him. Yes, Soubi is messed up. Always has been.]

... But I don't like the sound of this plan of your mun's.

[in_loveless_memory]

I'm aware, thank you. [Tail swish. Now all he needs to do is get his mun to listen.

Yeah no, never happening.]

Do I sound thrilled, Soubi? I'm not.

[flightofdeath]

... That explains a lot.

[in_loveless_memory]

I am not talking about Seimei to you.


[His mun on the other hand is more than happy to provide.]

[notquitebeloved]

[Sadly not. Pesky muns.

He looks down with a faint frown.]

That might actually hurt your chances.

[flightofdeath]

I admit myself not terribly concerned. It shall come to light in Asgard if it proves truly relevant.

[in_loveless_memory]

What, not sounding thrilled to be turned into a sociopath's servant? Clearly, I'm missing out.

[in_loveless_memory]

I didn't think you would be, you're you.

[flightofdeath]

Can you think of no upside to being put on my side of a potential conflict? I am already working towards building something grand within the city, Ritsuka. Lord Voldemort is not an idle inhabitant, not a mere prisoner in reality bending walls. Being at my side would give you access to the glory of victory, as well as the gift of my company, which I know you to be so fond of.

[That last bit is teasing, of course.]

[notquitebeloved]

[He stifles a sigh and looks back at Ritsuka.]

It will happen, or it won't. That depends on who you know you can trust where you are, and what they can do.

He didn't know how to react to your lapse of *not hating him* apparently.

[bloody_spy]

[It's not a normal occurrence, but sometimes Nisei quite approves of your mun. And his mun has seen that particular Voldemort, here and there. Starts whistling the Voldy song from Potter Puppet Pals.]

[in_loveless_memory]

[He rolls his eyes at Voldemort referring to himself in the third person. The ego on this man, he swears.]

The better question is why should I side with someone that the gods can squash out at any time.

[in_loveless_memory]

I don't trust anyone there, Soubi. Don't get confused about the situation.

I can understand why.

[in_loveless_memory]

Do you ever show up for anything other than gloating.

[notquitebeloved]

[That's not good.]

... I stand corrected.

[flightofdeath]

And yet they are invested in me. In us. So long as they believe my existence will be to their benefit, they will continue to allow it. They may, in fact, ensure it in time as they realize the asset I am in their war.

[in_loveless_memory]

"Us?" Clearly we didn't talk to the same goddess.

And what asset are you? What can you do more than any other megalomaniac?

[in_loveless_memory]

Why are you surprised?

[notquitebeloved]

You wouldn't believe my answer.

[in_loveless_memory]

Tell me anyways.

[notquitebeloved]

...Hope that you could come to trust people again.

[in_loveless_memory]

Maybe someday.

I don't know... [The damage was done, right?]

[notquitebeloved]

[Done and added to, as much as Soubi hates that he was part of it.]

Sooner is preferred...
