to see a world in a grain of sand

[kowase]

WHO: Dante, Vergil, Nero, and any visitors to the Auguries within the month of June.
WHERE: Auguries of Innocence
WHEN: Throughout June/July
WHAT: Different logs/stuff that happens at Vergil's apartment-slash-shop
WARNINGS: General sparda family stuff, they talk about demon stuff idk. there'll be a birthday party at the end of the month too.



[ A three-story building with a shop in the bottom-most floor, a sign that is overtly fancy and gilded with silver, Auguries of Innocence. In the window, there is now a smaller, just as fancy, but red glowing sign that says Opening Soon: Devil May Cry.

The second floor a storeroom filled with crates of items unsorted and damaged alike, things Vergil has collected for numerous years and hasn't finished restoring, or is just holding while not ready to sell. The floor also has a number of crafting tools in it for restoring broken items or refurbishing damaged ones.

The third floor is a minimalistic, mostly grey and silver apartment with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a study, a kitchen, a livingroom and a dining area in it. It's covered in antiques, with some weapons hanging on the wall. The furniture looks styled more for looking at than it is for sitting on, which is annoying, at best.


For the Montshs of June/July, Vergil and Dante have forcibly kidnapped Nero to live with them while he's dealing with some rather unfortunate memory issues -- and this post will be used for any threads involving the trio + any visitors while this mess goes on. ]

[Zhongli smiles a little, more in his voice than in his face.]

You needn't worry. If he had, I'd still judge you on your own merit.

[... That's. Supposed to be comforting, somehow?

He gives a slight bow.]

I made a few assumptions. I'm not sure of your relationship with fire, for example, but the color was at least appropriate. It should suit you well whether it's used to open letters or simply admired from a distance.

Your brother has its companion. They aren't exactly alike, and they have different dispositions, but they work well together if you let them.

[He sounds like he's not talking about daggers, and that's probably on purpose.]

[ you tried.png? ]

I suppose you could say me and fire have a healthy relationship. [ it is safe to assume as much given his choice in clothes. ] They come in a pair? You don't come by things like that very often, did you make it?

[ he may not look it, but he is definitely picking up what zhongli is putting down, a slow smile creeping across his lips. ]

[Better than Dante saying he hates it. He's sharper than he seems, though, apparently. Zhongli's eyebrows rise as Dante asks point blank if he made it.

... Well, no point in lying about it.]

I've always found comfort in the shaping of stone and earth. [That would be a yes.]

[ it's on purpose, of course, no one really needs to know how much is actually knocking around up in his head. he grins at the response, looking over the blade again before regarding zhongli. vergil must've lost his mind a little receiving it. ]

That just makes it all the more precious, then. [ dante closes the box carefully. ] Think you absolutely made his day. I'm a little sad I missed his reaction.

[lapislazily]

[He's met people like Dante who hide everything behind a joke and a smile. Knows one pretty good, in fact.]

Ask him to show you what it does when they're together. I'm sure you will see that look once again.

[He doesn't wink or anything but there's a crinkle at the edges of his eyes.]
