On both Nero and him coming into Exitvoid with Yamato :T

[daddywasntthere]

A rusted bucket of a cargo ship with a harlot of a woman, a fool who worships the dull memory of my father, and some brat of a boy whom my incompetent brother gifted Yamato to in a pathetic fit of sentimentality?

And you expect something other of me than gutting the whelp and leaving him to bleed out while I take back my sword?

You're more of a fool than I'd anticipated. Which is saying something.

sup boo how you livin

[daddywasntthere]

[ Oh. You. Ew. ] Exactly as I say. A religious order worshiping Sparda. Upon an island dubbed Fortuna.

perparing for d-day (school)

[magnificat]

[And since it's well beyond her timeline, she has to scoff.]

Why would anyone do that?

weh did the same last week prz

[daddywasntthere]

It's human nature to glorify legend.

Because they are idiots.

TOMORROW.

[magnificat]

Funny, that doesn't change the fact you're still half-human.

D8 GOOD LUCK

[daddywasntthere]

[ A short snort, but he doesn't reply to it. ]

Your father was another to fall to the worship of my father, was he not? Such that it brought him to his death.

And that of his wife.

[magnificat]

Shut your damn mouth before I shut it for you.

[daddywasntthere]

I would love to see you try.

[magnificat]

Don't test me. Do you think I'm afraid of you?

[daddywasntthere]

Do you think I see you as any thing more than an ant to be crushed underfoot?

[magnificat]

I have to wonder. And I also have to wonder if that was the case with you. What were you going to do, Vergil? Strut up to Mundus and kick him off his throne?

[daddywasntthere]

[ Don't you talk to him about Mundus, gurlfrond :| It's a touchy subject. ] And what should I have done instead? Lie out and hope he passed over a son of Sparda roaming his kingdom?

[ A beat and his tone is a bit less snapped, distracted, even. ] Even Dante wouldn't have stood a chance at that time.

[magnificat]

[Hey, he started it by bringing up her family.] And you would have?

[daddywasntthere]

Do you not listen, girl? I hardly had a choice. [ He'd been seen the moment he made it there, and Vergil doesn't hide. ]

[magnificat]

And that makes you more of a failure than Dante.

[daddywasntthere]

Dante would never plunge himself into the demon world in preference. His love for humanity is far too great. [ He wouldn't belong. Not like Vergil did. ]

[magnificat]

Which is the right choice at any rate. Even Sparda stayed.

[daddywasntthere]

[ eyebrow twitch ] He disappeared. Assumed dead. [ It wasn't until after that the demons came for them, and took Eva. Sparda wasn't there to protect them. ] It was his home. Regardless.

[magnificat]

Two-thousand years ago as they say. Right?

[daddywasntthere]

A home is forever a home. To the bones and blood that it birthed.

[magnificat]

And the both of you are not proof enough to prove otherwise? Why, Vergil, I could almost pity you.

[daddywasntthere]

You forget he returned. [ As much as he might have loved his family, he didn't stay. That Vergil new for certain. ] What a quaint sentiment. I'm touched.
