[OOC] We'll take the low road.

[PopeAlessandros]

So, was that confidence real, or was he just trying to impress the captain? :P

[cthulu]

Haha it's real, he is almost certain by the way Amano climbed that he won't fall and if it looked like he would his butler would catch him of course. ;)

[PopeAlessandros]

Yays! I MAY get to a response tonight. I hope to at least.

[PopeAlessandros]

Random status check: Are you enjoying the RP thus far? Anything you'd like to see more of? Less of? Ideas for future events?

[cthulu]

I am, of course! Amano is too adorable not to enjoy playing with lol!
I think once we get through this scene and out at sea there's going to be plenty more action and chances for the two to bond, near misses and the like though if you want to add an element of trouble in before they leave then that would be fine. What we need for Illiendi is a push, he's already growing faintly affectionate for the boy due to the flower and such like, we'll need more times like that to push him closer emotionally to Amano. While I dunno how Amano feels about Illiendi at the moment either, so maybe we need something for Amano to start getting the hots for Illiendi too. Any ideas?

[PopeAlessandros]

He is cute ain't he :P I can think of a couple things I see coming, including one I will mention below :P *Looks at the rest of what you have to say* Or now I guess :P I have a thought that maybe, the older brother who got turned down by Illiendi goes to Amano in the middle of the night and either tries to kill him, or rape him while Illiendi is busy with their mother leading to some interesting happenings. That's one of my ideas of an action element, the other need some forming but involves Amano's female friend. As for pushing them together, Amano is a sweety and will continue to treat Illiendi like he's precious, that little flower not the last gift, and prolly some moment of trying to defend Illiendi though he knows he doesn't need it. Automated affectionate reactions. Amano. . . .Likes Illiendi but very much has no idea how much, why, what kind of affection he's feeling, how to find any of these things out without sounding like a complete moron since Illindi has said demons just don't have these feelings :P *Thinks* I think at the first recognizable touch of affection from Illiendi, Amano will seriously begin contemplating trying to do something about it. . .. OH! and Amano wants to start practicing drawing Illiendi. Maybe a scene where Illiendi finds the pics and asks Amano about them since he never sketches the demon when he's actually around :P

[cthulu]

Sounds good to me :) all of it. I like the idea of the attack though Illiendi would likely 'feel' it so whatever he's doing would be dropped to come protect his little master from the big bad brother. At which point Illiendi will likely go to kill him unless told otherwise. I have a sort of idea forming if you'd like to hear it?

[PopeAlessandros]

Yush! And I just imagined him "Dropping" mom, which made me giggle :P Anyways, yes, tell me!

[cthulu]

SO yeah Illiendi goes off to woo mum or chat with Eldest brothers wife and said bro's all OMGZ REVENGE! He sneaks into Amano's room expecting him to be asleep but Amano isn't, maybe he's worried about Illinedi boning mum or possibly attempting to screw the pretty delicate wife. Of course Illiendi wouldn't do the latter unless SHE begged/asked so. Anywho, in comes evil mcevilness. Shuts the door quietly all stealthy ninja like and turns to see Amano at his desk not in bed. Amano for some reason assumes it's Illiendi back and addresses him somehow 'you didn't have too much fun right?' or something along those lines. Only for brother to lunge at Amano with a kitchen knife or small letter opener or whatever it is we feel like at the time. There's a struggle, Amano dodges two slashes and rolls away from a third, the room being loudly trashed of course but manages to sustain a surface wound and fell in such a way he can't easily get up. Brother goes complete psycho and lunges at Amano. Amano covers his face but nothing happens and when he opens his eyes from tip to hilt is buried into Illiendi's side. Illiendi's all 'oomfg my suit' but basically fine even if he does have a massive dagger/weapon in him. At this point he spots the wound on his master and is all 'oh no you didn't!' and literally grabs the brother by his neck and throws him like a kid tossing a rag doll across the room. Then he'll follow him, demony bits seeping out a bit because he's unhappy. And holds said bro up off the floor by nearly a foot and starts squeezing his chump throat. Amano steps in and tells him to stop, Illiendi will hesitate in doing so but will stop and then bros all 'he tried to kill me!' and amano's all 'yes he did...and just remember, I let him try'. Or something like that.

Now come morning obviously bros all shook up but there won't be a mark on him the room will be fine and clean (illiendi awesomeness) and so no real proof so its the known 'drinker's word against the new family favourite so he stays all quiet like but a little terrified, might even be a tad respectful at breakfast which might raise a few eyebrows lol.

[PopeAlessandros]

That looks quite adorable and badass at the same time :P I like it! Let's do something like that!

[cthulu]

Hehe sounds good then hehe

[PopeAlessandros]

So, what do you think of the pink poof? :P

[cthulu]

Well I like her, apparently Illiendi doesn't. I had intended to have him think about how stupid humans are and what a good pairing they'd make but he seems to have had other ideas. Kinda hilarious that he doesn't like her because she's a lot like him. Two faced, clever, devious lol. Or maybe he dislikes her because he doesn't think there should be dishonesty and insults between people 'in love', maybe he believes that love is supposed to be purer than that. I honestly don't know XD

[PopeAlessandros]

*Is now very confused and heads off to read what happened*

EDIT: *Reads* Woooooooooooooooooooow. . . . .Illiendi doesn't get love at all does he?

[cthulu]

He doesn't get the need to insult the one you love, no. The only love he ever knew was 'gods' all encompassing love and that had no need to belittle, be rude or anything like that. And that was a millenia ago to him so he's slightly biased on how love is supposed to work.

[PopeAlessandros]

Ah. See, to her and him, what she said was actually very affectionate :P And she will express just that on my post :P

[cthulu]

I wonderi f Illiendi will hear her. He's sorta tuning them out now XD 'nope don't like these ones, they are boring and I can't even play with them so fuck em' haha.

[PopeAlessandros]

Again I say wooow. Do YOU think she's being rude? I've only read the first para at this point, and I am just amazed and curious at this point. I see them having a loving and friendly relationship, and she's not at all furious by the way. Illiendi sounds like a misogynist honestly.

EDIT: *Reads more* He is. . . .He really is. . . . .Wow, that's gonna be one of the major lessons Amano is gonna teach him, for sure. It may be common, but Amano does not abide it.

[cthulu]

Lol he doesn't hate women he hates humans. I think she is rude yeah but I don't think even playful 'insulting' or teasing is okay but then I've been through a lot of stuff. He likes Raoul's wife. Genuinely likes her and he's fond of Amano's mum of course, he just believes in a purer love than whats displayed with a woman in this time set swearing, mouthing off at her elder and acting a tad bratty. This is after all not set in the modern day era and even 50 years ago a woman swearing was the height of ill manners.

[PopeAlessandros]

I think it's adorable when people who love each other can point out one another's faults without them taking offence. To me, that just feels right. It's not an insult if it's true you see. As for "This time set" since this is earth not earth, I think messing around with some of those honestly foolish ideas about men and women from the apparent era is nice. It's why he that's that his father cheats on hi mother and how everyone accepts it. It's why his best friend is a non conventional woman. And it's also why he sees what his younger older brother's do as despicable. He feels that women should be allowed to speak their minds just as much as men can, should be treated as people and not property, and be loved and cared for in such a way that they are still free to pursue their own interests. She only talks this way, really, around Amano and Gavin, since they accept and love her for it. She does not come off as bratty to me, but a strong woman who agree with Amano fully.

I find Raoul's wife almost sickeningly timid, and his mother pitiable. The mother should have dumped Amano's dad a long time ago as the cheating pig he is, and Raoul's wife has a personality I would not wish on anyone. Yeah, she's adorable, but that's about it. She's gonna spend her life as an accessory, and that's just sad. . . .So, while you find her rude, I find Laiza admirable, and soon enough, at least I pray, Illiendi will realize that Amano is not shamed by these things and doesn't want anyone thinking he is. He loves how open the two are, and while her foul(By the way ass as in donkey was not a swear word. She was literally calling him stubborn) mouth as it appears on occasion is not particularly attractive, he's actually glad she is comfortable enough with him and herself to say such things around him without that inbred fear of being smacked for it.
