[count_deceptive]

I haven't seen my son for some time. [A sigh.] I do miss him. I wonder if he's avoiding me? [He totally is.] I might have to do something about that.

Where shall we begin, Madame? [Don't mind his enigmatic smile or the suspicious silence between his words.] I approve.

What a rare creature to see

[deceptiondealer]

[Well, this is a... surprising sight. Of course he doesn't want to be here right now.]

Father. [Why is he surprised someone would 'pick him up', as it was phrased?]

isn't he?

[count_deceptive]

[Despite everything, D is happy to see his son. He holds open his arms, beaming.]

Have you missed me?

I'm glad someone has him!

[deceptiondealer]

It has been a long time since I last saw you.

[Did he miss him? Of course, for a few reasons; but it wasn't that simple.

It has been a long time, including the year -and then some- in some apocolyptic place away from everything, even the shop. He can manage a smile, weak as it is, and step closer despite wanting to keep his distance.]

This series is amazing. I've loved it for years.

[count_deceptive]

[That doesn't stop him. He wraps his arms around his son, his smile becoming a little less welcoming and a little more...dangerous.]

It seems the humans have gone too far. We are not their puppets. [Pulling back, he cups D's face between his hands.] Do you retain hope?

It is! A little sad so few play from it.

[deceptiondealer]

They go further, still.

[Lifting his head, fingers curled despite his hands and arms remaining there at his sides.] Hope in a world humans managed to destroy, then create a meshing of other worlds and times.

Same here.

[count_deceptive]

[So he still retains it. D exhales quietly and runs his fingers through his long hair.]

When will you relinquish hope? When will you embrace your anger towards them? [Them being humans, of course.]

Always feels lucky to even see others.

[deceptiondealer]

[How many times had he nearly embraced that anger? He had gotten close, so very close to it, to simply doing more than giving chances lately. It wasn't hard to grow angry at the humans who broadcasted their killings.]

There are those who hold the potential to change. [A belief he was barely holding onto these days. Had nearly let go of.] I will keep it, so long as that remains.

Pretty much. I saw a handful of Leons on LJ and one T-Chan...

[count_deceptive]

They have had generations to change and yet - [He smiles callously.] Think of what they have done; think of the worlds they have destroyed. Even now, the voices of the extinct cry out for revenge and blood. Why not give it to them? Do they not deserve it?

I'm lucky enough to have a Chris and Leon in game with D currently.

[deceptiondealer]

They are foolish and barely realise what it is they do. Are they not still young, even with their past generations? [They never learn, they repeat their mistakes, over and over. Countless species lost-] Those who do not learn meet their ends by their own decisions, even with the chances I have given.

Omg a Chris. ;w;

[count_deceptive]

You have always been far more forgiving. [Like D's father.] I cannot share your hope. I wish only to see their utter ruin. Then and only then will the anger in my heart be quelled.

yesss ;; Such a wonderful Chris.

[deceptiondealer]

What then? What will take place of that anger? [Satisfaction? They drove themselves to ruin all on their own.]

I love D and Chris' interactions. So cute.

[count_deceptive]

[That takes him by surprise.] I haven't considered it.

They are, and it's like a little family with Leon- D was a lone warrior for a year.

[deceptiondealer]

I keep my hope, even with what anger I feel towards them. There are those who show promise, who want to learn. [It was enough for him.]

[chobi_chii]

Why would your son avoid you, Mister?

[count_deceptive]

I cannot say. [A long, sad sigh.] I thought I was a caring father.

Also echoing the joy of seeing a Papa D around~

[chobi_chii]

If you're a caring father, then he is definitely not avoiding you. Yes. There must be other reasons.

;-; He does need more love.

[count_deceptive]

I'm sure there are. [Mysterious enough?] Tell me, child, what are you? [He can tell she isn't human.]

There's definitely a bunch of appreciation of seeing him around!

[chobi_chii]

What?

Chii is Chii.

[As if who and what are the same thing.]

He's basking in the attention. <3

[count_deceptive]

You don't know the difference. [Interesting. Being a scientist, he can't help but reach out and touch one of her ears.] Were you born or manufactured?

Ooh, I'm sure he is~

[chobi_chii]

[Touched the right way, and the ear might even open up.]

Chii? Is 'manufactured' different from born?

He likes making a stir. ;D

[count_deceptive]

Quite. [He tilts his head and touches the wires inside of said ear.] You are remarkable.

You'd always be welcome to make a stir at the game the above D and I are at~ <3

[chobi_chii]

Remarkable? Yes! Chii has been called that and special.

[There's wires and ports to plug things into her, even.]

I appreciate the offer. :)

[count_deceptive]

Appropriate. [He looks inside and touches the ports.] A living computer.

=3

[chobi_chii]

[These are things she's heard before, so right now she's more curious about why he's saying it and what he's doing exactly.]

Chii...?

[count_deceptive]

Are you controlled or do you possess the ability to control yourself? [He thinks he knows the answer, but...]
