I don't see it.

Comments

[bolder]

Neither do I.

AHAHAGHSGHASG

[fingerbang]

[i shouldn't even respond this post is already as perfect as it's going to be]

Well. I really walked into that one, didn't I?

[of_lusting]

How interesting. There isn't much that we don't see.

HYPERVENTILATES GENTLY INTO HANDS

[fingerbang]

Including the resemblance? [BUT WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY] Honestly. This place creates the strangest situations for us.

HELLO MY DARLING TWIN

[of_lusting]

Mm. I must say, I'm impressed by how ... good we look.

[especially for dead women.]

I was recently confronted with the Colonel. Strange is a bit of an understatement.

THIS POST JUST GOT TEN TIMES SEXIER or did it YES IT DID

[fingerbang]

That one? Count yourself lucky--I'm the one who has to deal with him now.

[SINCE I TOTALLY DIDN'T READ THAT THREAD
TOTALLY]

But you're not wrong. [which part she's responding to is left ambiguous.] Of course, we wouldn't be.

YES IT DID two lusts is too much to handle

[of_lusting]

How bothersome. Sacrifices are so much trouble.

[Long suffering sigh. THEY ARE SO UNDER APPRECIATED.]

It may be fun to play with his head again, however.

[fingerbang]

I'm not quite sure I'll stop there.

[of_lusting]

Oh? [She raises a delicate eyebrow.]

Well, then. As long as things don't go the same route as they did last time.

[fingerbang]

Just who do you take me for? [she raises one hand to gesture, tucking some hair behind her shoulder in the process, and HAW HAW IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON.] I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a possibility, but the circumstances are different now--and we don't make the same mistakes twice.

Still, it would be better to do it without taking his life. If only he didn't make himself so difficult to use.

[of_lusting]

[she grins. what a beautiful creature. they both were. and so very smart, too.] I agree. Do you have Gluttony or Envy with you? Gluttony might not quite .. understand .. that we must be careful this time to preserve his life and manipulate him.

[fingerbang]

Not anymore--but luckily, it's been more than long enough for me to find assistance from other areas. [a kind of wistful pause.] Of course, family is the most reliable.

[of_lusting]

And we do love our family. [Pity.] Are these .. other areas .. trustworthy?

[fingerbang]

To an extent, but that's always been the case, hasn't it? At any rate, the most useful ones have nothing to gain from a betrayal... for now, at least. That's not where the weakness lies.

[lust's other hand is at her thigh, and she briefly drums her fingers against the material of her dress.]

We've done a lot of talking about only one of us. I must admit, I'm starting to feel a little longwinded.

[QURL WHAT'S A ME LIKE YOU DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS]

[of_lusting]

Of course, you can never trust anyone you don't share blood with. [You know, in a way they are all related! Envy, Wrath, Pride.]

Unfortunately, there is not much for me to tell. I have only been here for about a month and my mundane has no intention, it seems, of sending me anywhere.

[IDEK MY BFF GLUTTONY??]

[fingerbang]

[her eyebrows rise.]

What a shame. There aren't enough of us, you know? [shrugging] Still, you might be the lucky one.

[of_lusting]

[a quick nod]

I would rather be useful than languishing here .. however. I'm not sure how 'lucky' this makes me.

[fingerbang]

[she's right, of course; always better to be in motion, always better to be useful, to have plans coming together seamlessly and blood on her fingertips. any of it preferable to the interminable void of death. they really are the same.]

Mm. Unfortunately, if the one behind the reins isn't qualified for their work... well. [another little shrug.] It's not always so easy to keep things on track.

[disclaimer: the person writing this is not actually a creepy soulbonder.




or am i]

[of_lusting]

[being here just makes her restless. she's never been useless- from the very beginning she was always busy and working for father. now, though .. there was nothing to do.]

Can this person be displaced?

[hush you so are revel in it]

[fingerbang]

[GET USED TO IT, SISTER]

If it were that easy, I wouldn't be complaining.

[of_lusting]

[WAH WAH BEING USELESS SUCKS]

I'm sure we'll find a way.

[fingerbang]

We always do.

[moped]

I guess I should consider it a compliment. You're really pretty, after all.

[fingerbang]

How kind of you. [a beat, like she's searching for a name! she is not actually searching for a name.] Miss Sato, wasn't it?

[moped]

Yes. But Asami works fine too.

[AND ASAMI IS GENUINELY SEARCHING FOR A NAME

BECAUSE SHE IS A GENUINELY NICE PERSON]

And you're...Lust, right?

[fingerbang]

That's right. [THAT'S SO LAME ASAMI NICE GUYS FINISH LAST unless the competition gets incinerated] You've heard of me?

[moremoremore]

Neither do I. You're real one-of-a-kind.

[fingerbang]

[OH BOY IT'S HER FAVORITE PERSON EVER]

Pretending that was a compliment doesn't seem worth the effort. [coldness aside, she says it in that same arch Laura Bailey sort of tone she uses for pretty much everything.] It's been a while, Ultimate Shield.

[moremoremore]

It really has been a while, give or take a few deaths. This mun guy just recently plucked me from the great beyond and stuck me in this old body. Guess he thought it was fitting for me to have my first time with you, Ultimate Spear.

[fingerbang]

[a brief huff of a sigh.]

Impossible as ever. And to think of all you said that last time, about us not having changed... [before he boiled to death, at least! fun times.] Much as I'd rather not lump us together, even someone like you is no exception.

[HMM.]

And now you have some of that freedom you wanted, right? Our father isn't exactly a popular choice here. [WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY AWFUL.]

[moremoremore]

What can I say? I might have picked up a thing or two in my second life, but I'm just as hopelessly greedy as ever.

[He laughs.]

You're right about that. I have all the freedom I ever wanted, and I couldn't be happier not to have Pops all over my case. I guess the old bastard's just too long-winded for most people!

[fingerbang]

It's no surprise that his motivations are too much for them to understand.

[she's got her arms crossed, as usual, and her eyes on his face.]

So. Aside from enjoying yourself, what are you going to do now, Greed? It's not like you to stay idle. [AS IF HE'D ACTUALLY TELL HER THIS hey it's worth a shot]

[moremoremore]

It's a real relief is what it is.

[He shrugs at Lust.]

I might as well tell you. I doubt you'll be following me. But it looks like I'm gonna be shipped off to some place called Luceti. I hear that the runt and most of his friend's are already there, including my former host body. I'm not sure yet whether or not that's gonna be a pain. As long as there's things I want, there, I don't mind.

[fingerbang]

Is there any place where that wouldn't be true? Knowing you, I'm at a bit of a loss.

[moremoremore]

Yeah, I can't help but find things I want everywhere I go. Unless it's a place with absolutely nothing. [His grin fades, but only for a moment, as he recalls the void of death.] It'll be an experience, alright.

What about you? Has Daddy's Little Girl been doing anything with herself, aside from getting mixed up with foxy women?

[fingerbang]

[she knows that feel, (literal) bro]

Curious? [halfway shrugging!] I meant it when I said "a while." It's been an interesting few years.

[moremoremore]

Eh, I think I have a long wait ahead of me anyway. Long speeches are something I'm not usually greedy for, but I can't say I'm not curious to hear how people like us do out there. [He waves his hand lazily.] So, whatever, go ahead.

[fingerbang]

Filling you in on the last three years isn't exactly fascinating to me either, you know. Let's just say I've had some time to get used to it and skip the finer details. [LIKE KILLING CATWOMAN...] At any rate, what happens to people like us depends. I don't know about yours, but if one of us ends up in a city full of heroes... things can become difficult.

[moremoremore]

[What did she ever do to you?!]

[Greed rubs his chin in mock concern.] Sounds like a pain in the ass kinda place. But, y'know, it might help you to get by in a place like that if you don't just kill people all the time. Me, I can keep a low profile just fine.

[fingerbang]

[SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE DID]

Ah, really? I'd never considered it.
