canon: devil may cry

Canon is both DMC and Viewtiful Joe.

The name I suggested was superstylishstorm, not squid! Are you hard of hearing or something? Why are you even bringing that up? It was one time and the best I could come up with on short notice. It's not my fault Joe only gave us two days to work out the plan. I don't know why I even offered to help, he's worse than Dante.

And why the heck did you give me an icon of that ridiculous suit? Even if I still had it, I wouldn't wear it again. I know it's hard to find good images of me, but are you really that desperate that you're filling in spaces with things like that? Get rid of it and find me some real icons. And while you're at it, you should probably figure out what color you're going to make my eyes, since nobody can seem to agree on that.

[Vergil doesn't even look up from the book he's reading.]

I find it hard to believe that anyone could be worse than Dante.

*It's okay, Alastor isn't offended. Dante isn't really a topic that warrants full attention, right?*

That's what I thought, but this guy makes him seem brilliant. I think he might have been brain damaged as a child.

Someone that makes my brother seem brilliant? I don't think I'd wish that on my worst enemy.

[Okay, maybe Vergil doesn't entirely mean that. Dante's pretty smart when he wants to be, he's just also infuriating, which means Vergil will snark at or about him at any given time.]

My condolences for your...situation.

[ooc: If you're looking for pictures to icon, pixiv has some if you search for アラストル ♥ I think you need to sign up first, but it's worth it.]

He makes up for it...sometimes. Well, it's at least better being his rival than it is being Dante's sword.

*They're both infuriating, which is why Alastor has to snark at or about them at every opportunity.*

I can believe that. Though I remember there being a few weapons that even give Dante a run for his money in terms of being..."talkative". Have you been introduced to Agni and Rudra?

[Though it is strange -- seeing this person, he can't place him as any of the demons from the Temen-ni-gru. Flipping back through his book -- a compendium of various demons and spirits -- he finds an entry that matches. Alastor, the Spirit of Lighting. Reading the entry actually makes him a little impressed with his brother for being able to wield such a weapon, but he shouldn't be surprised. As aggravating as Dante could be, Vergil would expect no less from a brother of his.]

Alastor, is it? It's an honor.

I wouldn't say introduced is the right word, but I have had the misfortune of meeting them. Really, I'm surprised Ifrit hasn't tried to force Dante to keep them separate from the rest of us yet. ...Actually, I might do that myself, the next time I see him.

*He smirks and nods at the recognition.*

And you're his brother, right? No offense, but you're smarter than I expected.

I'm surprised you've all lasted this long without throttling both of them. Having to deal with those two and Dante is just cruel and unusual punishment.

[He can't even almost be upset at that assumption. Especially since they were not only brothers, but twins, one would expect them to act similarly. And if that person had met Dante first...yeeeeah.

Instead of seeming offended, he laughs.]

None taken. Trust me, I would have assumed the same thing in your position. But yes, I'm the other Son of Sparda -- Vergil is the name.

[ooc: Hi again! Sorry I waited until today to reply -- by the time I saw this last night, I was half asleep. And I'm also sorry I accidentally thread-dropped the last thing we had. We should thread with those two again at bakerstreet or something, though!]

It's hard to throttle a sword and they can't manifest like I can. We just settle for knocking them around a bit when they get too noisy. But between the three of them, Joe and the embarrassments I used to work with, I'm starting to wonder if I'm cursed to be surrounded by idiots.

*He sighs and shakes his head. He really does not know what he ever did to deserve this.*

(We should. They were so adorable, in a weird, bloody minded sort of way.)

Edited 2013-11-29 02:27 (UTC)

You are preaching to the choir. [Because, seriously, how often does he wonder if he has the same curse?]

At least you can come here for a little bit of a reprieve?

(Right? I'd love to do something with Vergil visiting at Dante's place sometime.)

*Clearly it's the curse of all smart demons.*

Oh, I had a few places back in Movieland I could visit for some peace and quiet. But Lady Luck doesn't seem to be a friend of mine. Even here, I have to put up with my mun.

[Clearly!]

That's an unfortunate truth -- no matter where you go, you have to put up with the player. Luckily mine isn't as infuriating as she could be, so I don't have a lot to worry about there.

Most of the time.

[When she isn't teasing him because she's vastly entertained that there's someone in his life that he doesn't want to stab all the time.]

Lucky you. Mine's sent me to Magical Talking Ponyville as a batpony, where I have to deal with Dante as a dragon. And of course she rushed my application to get me in by the end of the Shadows plot, and then made my temporary Persona your father.

*You could have built a house with the bricks that fell from his, Dante's and Dante's Shadow's combined posteriors.*

(I have a musebox if you want to do something there?)

Edited 2013-12-26 04:52 (UTC)

I did see mention of that. I've been assured that if mine were prone to games, I would have been there already.

I think I become more grateful by the day that she's awful at keeping up with tags.

(Sure, that sounds like fun! I was just going to link you to any bakerstreet memes that may fit for them, but if you want to do musebox stuff, that's totally cool too!)

I don't know what possesses them to think it's a good idea to send demons there. What about creatures that thrive on combat and live by the idea that everybody is an enemy, a master, a minion or some combination of the above says we need to go to a world of pastel ponies that runs on friendship power?

(Let's be honest, 90% of Bakerstreet is shippy memes these days.)

Edited 2013-12-26 05:23 (UTC)

I suppose it's the dichotomy that they find entertaining.

Still doesn't make it any less irritating for us.

(Ugh, yeah, it is. Though I've found a couple that could work that aren't shippy or smutty.)

Mine seems to think that it'll teach me about "the magic of friendship".

*That's a highly derisive snort. Him? Friends? Ridiculous. ...Right?*

It has to be one of the most ridiculous ideas I've ever heard.

Wow.

I feel for you.

[Genuine sympathy from Vergil? Somebody send Satan a pair of snowboots.]

You'd think they were under the impression that we were kids' show antagonists or something.

Tch.

At least it'd be one hell of a kids' show, if that were the case.

Maybe, but I think I'd rather not be defanged. Especially if 4Kids got their paws on my canon. Can you imagine what they'd do to my duels with Joe?

*Especially the one where he almost killed him. Eesh.*

[Vergil gives a sideglance to his mun, who actually laughed out loud at the mention of 4Kids.]

That would be a travesty at best.

And of course, I'm pretty sure they'd have to negate me altogether for how many times I tend to run Dante through.

[Granted, every one of those times was well-deserved, if you ask Vergil.]

*Well, Alastor tries to be amusing sometimes. And he totally agrees that Dante deserves to be run through.*

They'd probably just get rid of Yamato and have you push him over. And I'd be a wooden sword that smacked him on the head.

Right? I'd bet that they wouldn't even show me pushing him down, either. It would just be off-screen, so the whole thing would look incredibly awkward.

You'd probably make a squeak-toy sound when you hit him, too.

Let's be thankful this isn't actually a thing.

Oh God...I think I would have had to break the Fourth Wall just to murder the editors.

*Guess who is completely unaware of the irony of a devil referencing God.*

I have a feeling we'd both have to either do that, or pull a Sadako and come out of the computer during the editing process to put a stop to it.

I've always found horror movies a bit dull and frustrating, but I think I could stomach a reference for a cause like that.

I can agree with that. Granted, there are some months where there's hardly anything else airing on television, so if you're unable to sleep, you're stuck with whatever entertainment is offered.

Yet another downside of being stuck in the human world.

Heh, you should come to Movieland sometime. There's rarely a dull moment and even if there is, there's usually someone you can prod into being interesting. Believe it or not, I've found a couple humans there that can give me a solid fight.

That does sound interesting.

Is it a full game, or a dressing-room type thing?

Actually, it's part of our universe. It's kind of like the Mirror World, only instead of nobodies crawling all around, it has the settings and characters from every movie ever recorded on film.

Though it might not make a bad game or dressing room setting.

That...sounds like it could end horribly or brilliantly. I really can't decide which.

It can be a bit of both. Like I said, it's rarely dull.

It seems that way.

Meanwhile, I'm becoming more and more disturbed to realize that the lady that plays me acts more like Dante than me. She sleeps way too much and is well-known at at least three separate pizza places. Something is sincerely wrong here.

And here I thought it was bad that mine was capable of eating nearly an entire large pizza by herself and generally associates herself with fire.

*He's never tasted pizza himself, but he's smelled it enough at Dante's place that he's already sick of it. And considering the fact that Dante's got the red theme going o top of the impulsive and hotheaded personality...*

Thanks!

Sure thing!

Also, hi! I'm hellspawnedhero (I swear Alastor moved in to pester Dante.)

Oh man, hi! <3 And thank Alastor for Vergil, please XD

No need to thank him, he's always happy to pick on idiots like his master.

This is what makes Alastor a good man...sword...demon...guy.

Even if he is kind of a brat.

Who isn't, in this canon?

True enough XD At least anime!Alastor isn't as bad as his games counterpart?

Truth! I still wish Vergil had been in the DMC Anime.

Yeah. At least a flashback! More Sparda boy history would have been wonderful.

Exactly! It was a perfect opportunity and it got wasted :(

And characterization for Eva! And maybe details on how Sparda died...

Yes! I was so upset that Eva was barely mentioned :(

And we hardly know anything about Sparda.

Right? And what was with that one dude saying he was still alive?

I don't even know what's up with this canon's continuity sometimes...

Amen to that.

And what was up with that Tony Redgrave episode?

Oh my god, I know! Of all the random things...

I still think that he actually was the right Tony but had repressed the memories.

I could believe that, but there are so many holes in that whole thing.

I've worked out a rough timeline for it that I think works?

What about the fact that Eva supposedly escapes/the lack of Vergil?

It wasn't Eva, it was a foster mother, his first and only one.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

She died shortly after escaping and Dante repressed the memories because it was too much like Eva.

I can get behind that.

He didn't go back into the foster system after that, but doesn't remember ever being in it now.

Poor kid. He needs every available hug.

He didn't start drinking for the taste :|
