A new challenger approaches! ...I blame so many people and things.

[bloody_high_claw]

No no no... "Mundane" is it? It simply won't do. While the name may suit your appearance, I refuse to associate with anyone with such an... ugly title. We will work on that.

And this place! Oh, such ugliness is everywhere... I am glad you brought me here, where I can work my magic. Give me a rose bush and some time, and I will paint this place a proper shade of crimson~

Please don't. The last time a satanist painted pentagrams on the wall with goat blood, it took weeks to get it all off. Plus it didn't smell all that well to begin with.

[bloody_high_claw]

[You can't see it behind his mask, but he's got one hell of a slasher grin on his face, Linkara.]

Who said anything about goat blood~?

[badcomicsburn]

Well, considering you have a goat face, I just assumed.

[Linkara no. Don't piss off the narcissist.]

Why else would you hide behind that mask?

[parsianprince]

...

Aren't you being rather rude to your mun?

[bloody_high_claw]

By aiding him in becoming more beautiful, like myself? There are those that would pay fortunes for such a favor. It's only fitting that someone as beautiful as myself only associate with the truly beautiful. Should there be a forced association, it is my duty to improve upon them.

[parsianprince]

Beauty isn't always physical. That seems to be all you're looking at. And basically, you're calling him ugly, which isn't nice at all.

[swordprincess]

...I think it's rather fitting.

[But she'll humor him.]

What sort of title would you suggest?

[bloody_high_claw]

Fitting as it may be, it is simply no good for one such as myself to associate with someone so... dull.

[He shrugs rather flippantly.]

I'm still mulling over my choices to be honest.

[swordprincess]

Really? What makes you so special?

[knight_king]

You will not harm innocents.

[bloody_high_claw]

[That just causes him to laugh. And laugh. And laugh some more. Eventually he starts to calm down, lifting his mask and pulling a rose from somewhere behind him, taking a moment to savor its scent.]

And just what qualifies as "innocent" these days, hmm? The world itself is such an ugly thing. People betray and step on one another just for a few extra pieces of paper in their wallet. Children torture and abuse one another simply because a certain name isn't placed on their clothing.

Surely there's no beauty to be had in a world like that~! That is why I serve my Master Bison, to bring true beauty back into the world.

[knight_king]

"These days"? You must be naive to believe the world before the modern times was any more peaceful. [Including Britain, before she ruled it and gave it peace and prosperity.]

I could not care less about your reasons. I will not permit you to injure civilians and those who cannot defend themselves.

[relictusdeus]

Is that why you hide your face~? [What delicious but not unexpected irony there'd be if Vega were ugly under there.]

[bloody_high_claw]

[He removes his mask slowly, grinning as he reveals his beautiful face.]

The mask is equal parts protection and equalizer. After all, fights would be no fun if my opponents were constantly distracted by my beauty~

Isaac being Isaac

[relictusdeus]

[He cocks his head, chuckling low in his throat.]

And 'twould be rather inconvenient for you, were you taken by the urge to stroke yourself furiously while basking in their attentions. Although, should they be distracted enough, perhaps you might have the chance to finish.

[updatetheworld]

I guess it's not a pretty label. [Rui doesn't think "mundane" things are necessarily ugly, but there's a negative implication when is employed here.] I think "mun" sounds cute enough, though. Why don't you just call them by their name?

[Hold on. What? He means to hurt people.]

...You want to do what? Why?

[bloody_high_claw]

Oh some nonsense about privacy, and whatnot, not that his name is any more beautiful than the title he insists on.

[He shrugs, flipping some hair with his un-clawed hand as he takes a couple of graceful steps forward.]

I only wish to spread pure beauty for all. Is that so shocking~? Perhaps I could even help you~

[He produces a rose from, somewhere, and with lightning quick movement fixes it in her hair.]

Yes, the crimson suits you well... brings out the color of your eyes even more sharply.

[updatetheworld]

Oh, I get that. What about using an online alias? He doesn't have to give his name if he's not comfortable.

[Rui used LOAD Galax for a long time for its philanthropist online idol persona in Galax.

Eh. What is he doing? Blinking, Rui just stares silently at the man fixes a rose in the strawberry blonde strands. Yes, the hair looks natural, but things aren't what they seem. It's a truly wig. Rui, despite how feminine he looks and the perfect selection of clothing, polish, shoewear and make up, is a boy who is fond of cute things and a total disregard about society's boring expectations. He's specially fond of women's clothes and fashion articles.

To give Vega some credit, it's hard to guess.

He smiles relieved, fingers brushing the flower. That was weird, but he rolls with it. He's just glad that it was just a misunderstanding. Maybe Katze left Rui paranoid after he tried to use his soul to destroy the planet.]

Thanks. [He bows his head sheepishly and, feeling bad for his early suspicion, he comes up with an idea to help.] There's nothing wrong with that. Actually, I appreciate pretty things too. So if you need to decorate, I'll help by calling a friend. She can organize a collage art group to help to change the look of this bleak place.

[It's the least he can do to help others. Hajime's better than Rui when came to decoration and plastic arts. Rui has a greater sense of fashion and painting aesthetics.]

[cunningdoll]

So where are you planning on going? *Mun? No, stop pointing at the-love-hotel and giggling, 'kay?*

A title is just a title, though. It has no beauty or lack of such to speak of. What a strange human you are....

[bloody_high_claw]

Right now, my... author has no plans with me outside of this place. Though if I were to go anywhere, it would need to be a place of beauty and passion...

[Yeah, mun. Hint hint. That hotel has a LOVELY shade of red, EVERYWHERE.]

Oh, but there is beauty to be had in every aspect of life, if you simply know where to find it.

[cunningdoll]

Again, strange human. I'm not knocking your preference, though.

*Well, if he REALLY wants to go there, it might be interesting to bother him once he arrives...*

What's with the mask?

[thebenevolent]

Ah, but this place isn't so ugly. There are so many worst places you could be sent.

[bloody_high_claw]

You must be kidding. This place is filled to the brim with ugliness. It is shameful, really.

[model_prisoner]

Never much understood the point of gardening, myself.

[bloody_high_claw]

I would not expect such an ugly creature such as yourself to understand the finer points of gardening. Why not go back to your cell and seclude your hideousness from the rest of us, hmm?
