Might be thinking of playing him in a game. Jedah insists on over thinking it.

[finale_rosso]

Of course I see the logic in devoting yourself to me more fully, but planning ahead is as important as skill when it comes to success.

Since you understand my goal, you understand that I won't surrender just because of a change of location. That means choosing a place to be the 'foundation' is just as important as who will be there. A place with pain that needs relieving would be best.

How troublesome...Maybe you should leave the choice to me. Understanding isn't the same as 'knowing' after all.

[childofthenocturne]

...So you are Jedah, correct?

[finale_rosso]

My reputation precedes me; Lord Jedah Dohma, Nobleman of Makai. Perhaps a mutual introduction?

[childofthenocturne]

I am the Demi-Fiend, a survivor of the Conception.

[finale_rosso]

An interesting event, I am certain. And how have you come to know of me?

[childofthenocturne]

I heard your name from both my mun and Morrigan, though she is never around enough for me to know more about you.

That, and a rather interesting scene in a game.

[finale_rosso]

How like young miss Aensland to begin yet not complete.

Do go on.

[childofthenocturne]

Well, she stirred my curiosity with this. Aside from the usual batch of demons, it's rare of me to find those like you, Dante, and Morrigan.

[finale_rosso]

Who could forget the enthusiastic Sparta boy? Indeed, that game was my writer's introduction to me. But, the three you speak of are of noble blood and so it's the opposite of curious that we should stand out.

[childofthenocturne]

And yet only one of you I have seen in my world. Must admit, I find that odd.

[finale_rosso]

And why would you find it unusual?

[childofthenocturne]

Well, according to the information presented to me, and given the state of the Conception, beings like you might have at least wanted to observe the growing wars going on.

After all, if you know Dante, and Dante does exist in my world, then in theory, you and the other Darkstalkers should exist as well.

[He puts his hand under his chin.] Or maybe I am thinking about this too hard...

[finale_rosso]

A reminder; my meeting with Dante was most certainly outside of the realm of my original reality. Therefore, to say that I 'know' Dante is only a half truth in itself.

[missfetishfuel]

Always with that plan of yours, hm?

[finale_rosso]

If the problem is the root then the solution is the fruit; so long as the root remains healthy, then the fruit will grow.

[He never shuts up, does he?]

[missfetishfuel]

You have to take into account bad weather and parasites, too.

[finale_rosso]

I do just that, and the conclusion remains the same. Such things can delay the full blooming, but with me as the gardener, I will ensure the finality of the issue.

[missfetishfuel]

Well, I have to admit you do have an abnormally green thumb.

[finale_rosso]

To guide and to grow, it is a noble's duty.

[missfetishfuel]

Yeah yeah, I hear you. [ Being fused with Lilith makes her feel that pesky sense of duty more often, curse it all. ]

It's still about as droll as watching grass grow.

[finale_rosso]

[Some of his finest work, that young Lilith!]

Excitement isn't everything, young miss Aensland.

[missfetishfuel]

[ It's also the fault of that young Lilith that she feels slightly more energetic when he's in the vicinity. It's quite confusing, really. ]

Why can't it be? Life's a lot more fun when you're enjoying everything, instead of being bored out of your mind.

[finale_rosso]

[Simple. Her inner Lilith accepts Jedah as the big daddy pimp demon and wants attention. Bet she wants to cuddle.]

Lack of excitement is not the same as boredom. I prefer satisfaction to excitement.

[Partially because excitement makes him do embarrassing things like tear his own eyes out.]

[missfetishfuel]

[ Cuddle or punch him in the face. Or both at the same time. ]

Figures the boring and uptight can't fathom excitement.

[ Jedah, you should really get that eye thing fixed. It's not healthy, you know. ]

[finale_rosso]

[Well, we all know Jedah likes to play rough so either way.]

I comprehend. I merely indulge when I wish and otherwise do not.

[missfetishfuel]

I can only imagine what you might consider fun.

[finale_rosso]

I will allow your imagination to roam untamed, then.

[missfetishfuel]

Excellent choice there, Dohma.

[finale_rosso]

The only choices I make.
