On the newest bit of backstory comic for him. Spoilers likely!

[asblackas]

I don't need you pity. That is in the far past, and I would rather you not bring that up again.

Are you just going to let a minor setback like that upset you? What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?

[asblackas]

A minor setback?

[He's talking about the battle where he got his ass handed to him, of course...]

[tyrant_flughude]

[Welcome to Disgaea. Death is often considered a 'minor setback.' Usually. Unless it's being played for drama.]

That's right! [Dramatic cape-flare!] Just because you suffer one defeat, that doesn't mean you can wallow in self-pity! Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in the fight!

[asblackas]

I don't think you quite understand what the consequences of my defeat were.

[Sob he might as well be dead.....]

[tyrant_flughude]

Oh? Enlighten me, then.

[asblackas]

I don't exist to the world at large. I am considered a bad dream and nothing more.

[He'll even mockingly add:]

"There's no such thing as the Boogyeman."

[tyrant_flughude]

[Valvatorez doesn't seem convinced. You, my good sir, are far too morose for his liking.]

So much self-pity. Do you know what you need?

[little_babytooth]

[Ha well, it's what you deserved! And Baby Tooth will nod confidently. Tooth Fairy did her job, and so did Sandy and North!]

[asblackas]

[Oh, it's you. Ugh, haven't you Guardians gloated enough? 8| ]

And what do you want?

[little_babytooth]

[Oh what does SHE want? She flies up towards him, inches away from his face and squeaks at him. One could only imagine what she's saying as she angrily squeaks at him, shaking her finger at him and shaking a fist or two at her as well.

Her sisters, Tooth Fairy, Jack, and everyone! You put them all through a lot, Pitch.]

[asblackas]

[Likewise, they put him through a lot.]

Are you simply going to squeak at me and nothing more?

I hope you don't mind!

[littlebloodandgum]

[She reaches out to gently pull baby Tooth back]

Easy there, girl.

[She looks at Pitch,only a soft sigh leaving her.]

She is right though, Pitch. You put everyone through a lot. Not being believed in is very hard but that is no excuse to do what you did.

I don't!

[asblackas]

You took everything from me. So it was about time I returned the favor. You do believe in balance after all, don't you?

[Yup. He went there. he is still very sore about that.]

<3

[littlebloodandgum]

[She frowns heavily, but doesn't bite just yet.]

We took nothing from you, Pitch, and you know it! You may live for the fear of children and even give them nightmares, but that gives you no right to put them in danger!

[bringsthefrost]

A little colder and you'd probably run me out of a job, Pitch.

[Jokes aside.]

There's no harm in remembering.

[asblackas]

[Oh, goody. Frost.]

It's not something that I want to remember.

[No mentioning that is was an entirely painful thing to remember.]

[bringsthefrost]

[Glad to see you missed him.]

You think I don't have things I don't want to remember? Thing is, we all do.

[He gives a nonchalant shrug.]

Sometimes it helps us remember what we're here for.

[asblackas]

What I'm here for is apparently something your guardian friends don't want.

[Oh, the stories he could tell, Jack. And hey, it's getting off the topic of the little boy who followed him.]

[bringsthefrost]

You didn't really go about it the right way, y'know.

[He's not exactly an expert at staying on topic.]

Kid had guts.

/shares popcorn

[asblackas]

[JACK HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT BOY. YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM.]

And what, pray tell, is the right way?

[lostinthelight]

Bringing up bad memories is what muns do.

[Trust her, she would know.]

[raisethemoon]

Wouldst thou rather thy mundane rejoice in thy suffering? There are a fair many who would.

[asblackas]

I certainly don't need pity.

[raisethemoon]

Art thou certain 'tis not sympathy? Even mortals know of the past's power to hurt, no matter how far gone.

[asblackas]

I'm quite certain it's pity.
