log; and then life sucked even more

[contemptibility]

[So it's a perfectly normal day in Vatheon—or, at least, relatively normal.

... Or rather, was.

Because Tiir happens to enter the plaza, and upon seeing a shock of pink hair—

... Well, against his better judgment, he freezes.]

Comments

are you saying life was good at one point?

[evocate]

[Lir, on the other hand, is completely fluid in motion as he turns with his trademark smirk.]

There you are, Iino Doue.

there, I changed it. Happy? :T

[contemptibility]

[Taking a step back, even though he really should just be running away right about now—]

You—why are you here!?

I revel in your misery.

[evocate]

Isn't it obvious?

[Juuust taking a step forward.]

Have you been gathering monsters here, too? There's so many types here, you must be reveling in their company!

... wow thanks.

[contemptibility]

[Another step back—]

And yet the only monster I see here is you.

It's IC, okay.

[evocate]

Me?

[He waves a hand with a short laugh, as though Tiir's words are a joke.]

I'm just an ordinary human. The opposite of you.

... CRYING

[contemptibility]

[He grits his teeth.]

An 'ordinary person' who slaughters children while laughing at and mocking them all the while.

TROLLIN'

[evocate]

Monsters are monsters. Age doesn't matter. Rather, they're more dangerous when they're younger, wouldn't you say?

WOW NO WONDER YOU DEVELOPED A MUSE FOR HIM

[contemptibility]

[... Tiir lets out a sound that could probably be interpreted as a growl, seeing as how he's this close to attacking him—]

I'm not inclined to agree with a wretch like you.

I PLAY ALL THE TROLLS.

[evocate]

. . . Even though you know that I'm right?

... THIS IS TRUE.

[contemptibility]

[He tenses—not because he agrees with that, but because while a small part of his mind is reminding him of all their previous encounters, the rest of his mind is telling him to just kill him already.]

Hardly. Those children never hurt anyone. To scum like you, their only crime was being born, wasn't it?

and coincidentally they all troll your characters.

[evocate]

[Oh, the monster's ticked. Lir's smirk intensifies. This one is so easy to rile up.]

You're right, for once. The world decided long ago that their crime was their existence.

[He looks at his palm. The ring is still there, yes . . . ]

That includes yours.

... [1/2]

[contemptibility]

[He takes back any thought he might've had about Minato being frustrating.

This man is far, far worse.]

(fuu) [2/2/]

[contemptibility]

[Tiir doesn't even think about it.

He lunges.]

[jan]

[evocate]

[Too predictable.

He summons a lightning beast just as Tiir takes off, which lunges right at its target as well. Eat that, monster.]

[jae]!!

[contemptibility]

[... Yeah.

The attack hits him directly, as he's flung into the air with a cry, before landing painfully on the ground.

Damn it.]

(troll)

[evocate]

[Lir doesn't laugh, but the amusement is evident in his face. He doesn't derive pleasure from inflicting pain, no; watching Tiir fight so futilely is what's "funny."

Insane, much?]

How about it? Introduce some of your monster friends. I've got nothing better to do here.

(bah)

[contemptibility]

[Clutching his side, he stands up shakily.

It's a bit awkward to talk with blood dripping from your mouth, but—]

... Touch them and I'll kill you.

(yay)

[evocate]

[He's not even slightly alarmed. He knows what this monster can do.

Not very much.]

And how are you going to do that? By eating them this time?

(FUU)

[contemptibility]

[By this point, Tiir would simply devour a nearbly local (as he's fairly certain his little deal with Minato is null when he's about to die), but unfortunately, they were all smart enough to flee the scene.

Again, damn it.

He grits his teeth again and, out of a lack of a better response, seethes and repeats himself.]

I'll kill you...!

[Guriko. Guriko's in danger—]
