belated father's day stuff and possible future apping at asgard

[skirtcladgunner]

Ugh, but mun! I was happy that you didn't have me do anything on Father's Day, just like I was when you just let me grieve in peace on Mother's Day.

Like I would've wanted to do something with that bastard anyway! Yeah, being ignored sounds like a lot of fun. Quality father and daughter bonding time, right there. But let's be serious--you couldn't pay me enough to go through that, mun.

[...]



Now bring me Daddy Riddler, and it'll be a different story! ...he's not my 'replacement goldfish'! Take that back! [>:|]

[...sigh. Okay, onto the next item of business.]

Speaking of fathers, just because you're friend is playing that guy with the belt fetish at Asgard doesn't mean you need to try and send me there in the future. No matter how "amusing" you think our "daddy/child issues laced CR" might be, you're never going to convince me that it's not a stupid plan.

Besides, if Exsilium didn't work out, what makes you think this will be any better?

...just think about it a little more.

Who needs a father anyway? [SO HE HAS DADDY ISSUES TOO. Who doesn't.]

[skirtcladgunner]

[Oh, it's... that guy. That guy who Tori has a bit of info about due to the power of the metaish nature of this community. Mostly involving Mithos dislike. We'll ignore that for now.]

Well, unless genetics work differently in your world, a father's sadly essential to life~ ♥

[sacrificememory]

[Yes Tori, and he has metaish knowledge of you as well, but let's try to keep this civil anyway.]

... No, he's not really. But it's really rare from what I've heard.

[skirtcladgunner]

[Hey, if she likes Mithos, maybe Kaori won't go near him. That's good, right? For you, anyway.]

Mm~ well, aren't we lucky?

[sacrificememory]

[That depends entirely on what his fiancée does, which he does not have any control over nor is he sure he would want it.]

Depends on your definition of 'lucky.' We could end up going to the same place and all.

[skirtcladgunner]

[That's true. Then again, Tori's much more likely to mother someone like Kaori than attempt to fight against her. Even in games of love~]

Oh, is that right~? Well, I don't think I'd mind having a cute guy like you around. [Wink, giggle. Also completely trolling.] Something tells me you have at least a little bit more of a sense of fun than Mr. Belt Fetish.

[sacrificememory]

[He has a tendency of attracting girls who everyone wants to mother.]

Thanks for the compliment. [Except he's totally waving it off.] Maybe Mr. Belt Fetish never had some to begin with, that's not the best thing to boast about is it?

[skirtcladgunner]

[Tori wants to mother so many people. Or act like big sister, at the very least. It's not even funny.]

You're welcome~ [Giggle.] Mmm, I suppose not. My mun wants us to have CR if I go there, though, so it'd be nice to have things evened out.

[Especially since even her MUN doesn't know which way the CR might lead.]

[sacrificememory]

[That's okay, Aleos has those tendencies as well. He's just a lot more selective about it and less open.]

The way you make it sound, it's like your mun has already made the decision while mine is wavering.

[This mun has no idea where it would lead either.]

[skirtcladgunner]

I was talking about Kratos, but she might have added you to that list too. And yeah, I think she might have made her decision. Ugh, she's so shameless!

[sacrificememory]

If I may ask, just what the hell is so special about me that it affects the decision? [He is genuinely curious.]

[skirtcladgunner]

You're asking that like I have a damn clue! [Because she doesn't. Mun's become content with simply grinning.]

[sacrificememory]

Well she's your mun, maybe she allows you in on information sometimes. [He just wishes his mun did it more.]

[skirtcladgunner]

Not at the moment. She thinks this is more fun. But you're right, sometimes she lets me in on a lot~

[sacrificememory]

Does this mean I should dread whatever it is that will happen between us at that place, or anticipate it with baited breath? [Sarcasm, he has it.]

[skirtcladgunner]

Oh, she has no doubt that we'll probably get along. After all...

[A pause, as she decides whether or not to bring this up. ...and she chooses yes, because she never did learn how to not push things too far.]

We won't know about a certain someone there, so there won't be any negative bias~

[sacrificememory]

You know that doesn't guarantee anything, right? [He's hoping you're referring to a certain shouta boy when you say that, because if she is referring to someone else he was going to have issues with her.]

[skirtcladgunner]

Oh, of course I know that. But we'll stand a better chance if we're not arguing about Mithos. [Oh, are you kidding? She'd probably take one look at Kaori and find herself unable to fight the urge to make sure that she's all right at all times. ...without taking the kind of steps Mithos is willing to take.]

[sacrificememory]

Yeah, probably. He's supposed to be your boyfriend or something similar enough, isn't he? [And he would make some snide remark about her tastes if he weren't aware that Kaori also had some feelings for him. Feelings which he prayed would pass eventually.]

[skirtcladgunner]

We don't really use those terms. Even in the universe where he actually does say he loves me. [Because mafia!Mithos doesn't, and despite Tori understanding why, it takes a lot to hide how much that stings. Especially when she's doing so much for his happiness, like pretending Jeb doesn't exist when she's around Mithos. It's hard having all these memories at once--stupid meta place.]

[sacrificememory]

... It hurts, doesn't it? [He understands too well, even when he wasn't sure what his relationship with Anjyl was. And Kaori... it angered him so greatly that there were people who were trying to break them apart and they could not directly refer to each other in the terms they would want to because of it.]

[skirtcladgunner]

N-No! It doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt at all! He'll--he'll eventually say it, in that other place. I just have to hold out a little longer! It's not like I can expect someone like Mithos to be as open as someone like Jeb...! It'd be pretty stupid of me to think something like that, anyway! Yeah, really dumb!

[Translation: "There are no words to describe how much it fucking hurts."

She's not being very convincing with her lies right now anyway, is she?]

[sacrificememory]

[Not at all. Even if he weren't a Le'sachi, that was a pretty obvious lie if he ever heard one.]

Really? If that's true, how would you want him to say it? [You have something in mind, and he knows you do.]

[skirtcladgunner]

...you mean for the first time? [Looking away from him now.]

'...I love you. That's why I want you all to myself, that's why I want to keep you safe. Because I love you.'

[Mithos is possessive. Tori isn't usually one that needs so much reassurance about being wanted and loved, but maybe she'd despise him wanting to smother her and hide her away from the world less if he'd just say those words. It's getting to a point where "I care for you a lot" isn't enough anymore, and Yuan isn't really helping the case by saying that Mithos could never feel something like that.]

Yeah, it's pretty pathetic, huh? I didn't think I'd ever fall to this level for anyone, but Mithos sure is special~

[Would it have been better if she had been able to bring herself to keep hating him? If she hadn't been able to start sympathizing?]

[sacrificememory]

Love can be pathetic. [But that didn't make it wrong, necessarily. People kept telling him over and over that Kaori was dangerous for him, that she didn't deserve the kindness he gave her no matter how many times he told them off.

And Anjyl was just something else, even though she frustrated him with how often she kept secrets from him; right when he thought she was finally opening up, he would be dealt with yet another challenge to his trust for her.]

But that's what works for you. I can't pass judgment on what you feel because they're not my feelings, they're yours. Maybe he's special because when he finally says that you know he'll mean it.
