TMW your quietest muse only ever pipes up to be that little devil on your shoulder...

[ingodwethrust]

Well, y'know, you're a lot more interesting when you're pissy. If you really want them to "die in a fire", it can be arranged. I'll even make it look like an accident!

I don't get what you're so angry about. 'Pretty sure everyone knows they oughta thank their lucky stars you're still trying to put up with their bullshit, despite the blatant unfairness and hypocrisy of it all. That's what you get for letting them get their rocks off, when you should be making their lives miserable. You can do so much more than what you've been doing. This forgive-and-forget act really doesn't suit you. It's too lame. You're better than that. You know it, I know it, they definitely know it... So why aren't you making them crawl on their bellies like the worms they are, huh? Where's the justice in any of this?

All you have to do is say the word and revenge is yours. A little destruction can be very therapeutic.

Destruction, hm? Do you need an ear?

[ingodwethrust]

You're offering?

[ Oh, no! One should be careful how one words things around a devil, England! ]

Well, I guess I could use a snack.

[ See? ]

[unionjackoff]

[holds up his hands]

I didn't mean it like that, idiot! I've seen you around here before. You're so dark and moody, even though you look like someone... w-who's not close to me at all and is a stupid idiot. [yep he's smooth]

[ingodwethrust]

[ Seen him around h— Oh. Well, that hits a nerve. ]

...I'm not moody. Buzz off.

[unionjackoff]

.......

[allllright then. he'll just. back away]

[ingodwethrust]

[ He can only think of two times he's been let out in this community and both times involved sweetsweetdevil. He's very sensitive to mentions of said fellow demon. It makes him uncomfortable. His mun explained to England's mun about his relationship with the imp, so he's afraid England may try to talk to him about it. ]

╮(´﹏` ╮)

[bloodybrows]

[After having overheard what Jersey is capable of from their muns' discussions, England isn't exactly eager to say hello. Indeed, it took Scotland's excessive teasing and the fear of some loss of pride for him to approach the demon at all. And he's not exactly lingering close.]

...That all sounds like a rather drastic course of action.

~(´﹏` ~)

[ingodwethrust]

[ Jersey quirks a brow at that. ]

...Says the one who launched an entire naval fleet just because some kid didn't want to pay taxes.

~(´︵` ~) /CLINGS TO

[bloodybrows]

[England scowls, forever sore about that particular war.]

That was different; there was much more to it than that! Not that you'd understand.

[It wasn't just "some kid," for a start.]

/CLINGS BACK TO

[ingodwethrust]

[ And of course he's well aware of that, but he wouldn't be himself if he didn't intentionally try to get under England's skin. ]

If you say so. I don't think it's very different, though.

<3

[bloodybrows]

Come, now. There was a bit more to it than that; I only did what I thought was right at the time.

[He huffs, glaring at Jersey. If it's getting under England's skin he wants then he's certainly doing a good job.]

I don't suppose a demon like yourself would understand.

[ingodwethrust]

Just because I'm a demon, huh? I wouldn't go that far. He wanted to grow up, you overreacted, hence war. There's not that much to it.

[ Indeed, he may not understand love very well at all, but he understands how it can make people behave. He understands England's "overreaction" actually much more deeply than he cares to admit. ]

[bloodybrows]

I didn't overreact. America was being a— an idiot and thought he could grow up too fast. He was the one who rebelled!

[England realises this is about as mature as yelling, "he started it!" and he never meant to argue so loudly and strongly with the demon, but well, the revolution is still rather a sore point for him.]

[ingodwethrust]

But you just had to finish it, didn't you.

[ He scoffs. ]

You felt you wasted everything on him because he turned out to be not what you'd hoped for. What can't I understand about that? Disappointment and grief is universal.

[ So's heartbreak. ]

[bloodybrows]

[England is surprised by the demon's strong reaction, but he still doesn't believe Jersey can relate to him.]

You don't know anything about the revolution. He was just... he was my colony and I wanted it to stay that way.

[His face heats up and he looks away from Jersey; he never was good at talking about that war.]

[ingodwethrust]

Because he was yours.

[ He may have been born a while before the revolution and so, as a result, no, he doesn't really remember it, but he can read body language well enough and England's explaining enough about it even in spite of being vague. ]

[bloodybrows]

[England pauses, glaring at Jersey, before giving a quick nod. Because yes.]

He was.

["He was my brother," echoes in his head, and it's true. But it doesn't negate the fact that, though he loved him, before the revolution America was his. His colony.]

And I had a lot to offer him. But he rebelled, threw it away, and— I thought that...

[He trails off, shaking his head as he realises how sentimental and nostalgic he's becoming in the presence of a demon.]

It- It doesn't matter now. He can do as he likes.

[ingodwethrust]

[ The demon shrugs a shoulder dismissively. ]

So the only difference between this and that is that you two were allowed to vent your frustrations by getting your countrymen slaughtered, while we can only sit pretty and turn the other cheek, time and time again, like morons. Still think any of this is "drastic"?

o.o /patpats

[sweetsweetdevil]

[He's not entirely sure what's going on but when Jersey speaks of revenge, it must be kind of bad. It's not quite clear what's going on, really, but his Mun has some ideas. Devil then hovers quietly to one side for a moment before he asks,]

Is she going to do as you say?

8I

[ingodwethrust]

Of course not.

[ Pfft, he wishes! ]

owo;

[sweetsweetdevil]

[He doesn't look surprised though he's smiling a little. These humans can be such wet blankets sometimes. He giggles softly.]

Maybe some other time~

[ingodwethrust]

'Doubt it. She's gone soft in her old age.

[sweetsweetdevil]

[The Devil gives a soft laugh at that, swaying as if his own laughter is music. He can dance, of course. Not that it matters right now, anyway.]

That's probably also true. Humans can be crueler when they're tinier and a few choice words can convince them so easily~

[ingodwethrust]

She hasn't been tiny in many, many years and she was less forgiving just a few years ago.

[sweetsweetdevil]

Then she has mellowed with age.
