return of an old muse? and voice-testing-ish?

[exaggerated]

'Long time no see'? That's all you got to say to me? After all the fun we've had? Sheesh.

How long's it been? Two, three years? What happened to 'call me back'? Could have warned me before you decided we were breaking up.

No?

Pff. Fine, fine, have it your way. I'm up now, so don't expect me to get too quiet. Not after this long. Definitely enough to give a guy claustrophobia.

Mishter, did you get dumped?

Careful, maybe she's on the rebound!

[exaggerated]

[Oh, man, kids now, too? Don't let the mistrustful look on his face fool you, he's actually not mean, honest!]

I think it's in our best interests if we see other people. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, things get the kind of complicated where she gets to sleep on the couch this time.

[pinokosthewife]

[She knows! She went to a game with a Dante, once.]

Eventually, you're gonna have to change the lock and telephone number.

[exaggerated]

[You poor girl.]

Isn't that a bit much for a kid to be asking? Or know about. You have terrible parents.

[devilbringers]

Could always get shoved into hell constantly instead.

[Hello, Dante. No, he doesn't know you're the jackass who saved his town and the world, but you sure sound like a whiny asshole.]

[exaggerated]

[SQUINT]

Been there, done that, and I still didn't even get the lousy t-shirt.

[devilbringers]

Yeah? Join the club. You're not the first.

[What are you squinting at him for :| Don't quint at him he's going to start glaring.]

[hipsdontlie]

[She's just going to click her tongue at all of it.]

They never do anything they say they are. They bring you back for a brief instance of amusement and merely leave you again, best not to trust it.

[exaggerated]

I kick back pretty hard when I want to.

[Don't you click your tongue at him. He'll fight all he wants. >:c]

[hipsdontlie]

Do you, now? Sounds like a rather boring life to lead, if you ask me.

[She'll click her tongue at you all she wants. >| In fact she's doing it again.]

[themaninred]

Might wanna check your words, kid. Never know what she'll end up throwing at you.

[exaggerated]

[Wow who let you in here, you old bat? Squinting at you so hard. Don't think he doesn't know himself when he feels it.]

I think I can handle some bugs.

[No, Dante, not this time. Not even you.]

[themaninred]

[Hey, who are you calling an old bat, you punk? Talking to yourself here, sir, learn 2 respect.




...eh, who the hell is he kidding. Dante laughs a little.]

Sure about that? I've heard this place can be a hell of a show.

[swordprincess]

Oh my. What will you do now that you're awake?

[exaggerated]

For now? Make some noise. Got better things to do than hang around the phone. Serves her right for not even giving me a 'don't call me, I'll call you'.

[swordprincess]

That sounds...interesting. [Even if she doesn't really understand it.]

Maybe you should call her?

[moondragon]

Ouch. I hate it when that happens. No warning at all, just, poof, nothing. Nada.

*Cain shrugs.*

As another has questioned, what are you going to do now that you're out and about?

[exaggerated]

Heart-breaker, this one.

And like I said to her: make some noise. Kick down a few doors. You know, throw a tantrum, maybe. Be a metaphorical headache. Serves her right.

[moondragon]

Sounds good to me! Where are you planning on starting this party?

[nuked]

We're called when we're needed.

[ Duh. ]

[exaggerated]

[Who asked you, Chief?]

You'd think. Personally, I'm more of the kicking down doors kind of guy.

[nuked]

Kicking down doors is inefficient.

A grenade is better.

This is what I get for not checking d_m in weeks.

[thefreedomreign]

It is a little jarring to come back after a long absence, isn't it? I parted ways with mine for about seven years before we found our way back to one another.

Though I'm sure yours has no delusions about you of all people being quiet.

[That's just a brotherly hello, of course. They wouldn't be Sparda boys without bickering.]

it's all good!

[exaggerated]

Seven years, huh?

Guess that proves I have the better personality between us.

[Not that he actually means that. Bickering and all.]

[thefreedomreign]

You're definitely the most aggravating.

[Despite his words, it's obvious in the absence of malice in his tone that he's actually glad to be going back and forth with his brother again.]
