to see a world in a grain of sand
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. ]

His grin widens a little.]
Maybe I like spoiling you. Did you think about that?
[The tone's teasing, but still. He likes treating his friends. That much is very true. He's a little surprised by the hand on his shoulder. Vergil is never the one to initiate any contact between them. It's usually Zulius invading the other man's personal space. It makes the grin soften a little- guess they can both be surprised today. ]
Yeaaaaaaaah, I can't see any of them letting you get out of the party atmosphere if you give up too many party pooper vibes. [Oh, the grin is back.] But do tell me what those terrible choices are. Enquiring minds need to know.
[What terrible choices do you make with boxed wine, Vergil? He's SO curious. ]
no subject
It only now occurs to me, due in fact that you have said it, because quite simply, I do not strike out to be someone who invites 'being spoiled'. I will be terribly aware of it now and on in to the future.
[ another dry quip meant to be something of a joke, he's even waving his hand a little, dismissively, as he returns to admiring his new sword. Taking it out of the sheathe to admire the silvery, nearly untouched blade. ]
I am not a ... party pooper, as you call it, I merely am not a party animal like certain people. [ and queue nero shouting something loudly in the other room. as if asked for. ] --But. I digress.
...In my graduating year of university. I graduated as my year's SCL, and a few of my colleagues thought they would try to embarrass me by challenging me to a drinking contest during our post-graduation party.
I was not interested, of course, but for the sake of showing up as not to be rude to my fellow classmates, expecting some foolish game of poker with shots, or something of the sort, but no.
Let us just say there was boxed wine and long tubes involved and that is about as much as I am willing to share. Perhaps all I am able to share, as I believe the English term to use here is 'blackout drunk.'
I won.
I do not want to win ever again.
no subject
You'll for sure be aware of it when I treat you a 'lil more in the future. I still owe you another date yet. Plenty of time to drop some spoiling on you.
[No escape, sir. None at all. He hasn't forgotten. Still, it's nice to see how delighted Vergil is with the sword- even if the...rowdier partygoers are making themselves known on cue. He's glad he got something the guy actually LIKES. But hey, he actually GOT a story out of it instead of being shut down, which he was partly expecting to happen. As Vergil goes on, his grin widens and widens. ]
Vergil Vittore, you dark horse! I didn't know you had it in you, party pump and everything, hot damn. Colour me IMPressed! Sure, you might have a lifetime of regret, but you sure showed those guys, right? Even one little victory is still something, especially when you're showing up little bitches trying to trip you up for funsies.
[He says like he isn't also a little bitch who tries to trip Vergil up for funsies on the regular.]
no subject
Ah... right, the... poetry cafe, correct? It had slipped my mind completely.
[ nailed it on the head. because yes if it slipped your mind completely, you generally don't remember what the exact thing was, and all.
His hand is brushing the side of his face as he tries to regain composure here. ]
It was an experience I so dearly wish not to repeat. If only because I quite enjoy remembering where I am or what I am doing at any given time.
But it did feel good to have won, in the end. Needless to say, the individuals who challenged me never did try it again.
I will take that smugly to my grave.
[ because come on who doesn't like to trip up bitches who try to trip you up first. ]
no subject
Wow, you sure remembered it exactly for something that slipped your mind, huh? [Just gonna casually call you OUT, Sir! ] Well, I didn't forget. Maybe something we can look into once I'm home from my vacay.
[Which is to say he's not letting Vergil off the hook with this one. He's absolutely going to use his human disguise on this with zero warning. He'll show you for "forgetting" the date, Mister. He snorts in light amusement.]
Obvi! You showed those bitches up. Sure, it sounds like you put yourself through a whole mess and who knows if you did something even stupider you can't even remember. [Did you want that fear in your life, Vergil? Too bad, you have it now.] But you won and that's gotta give you some smug points.
[He claps his hands together.]
SO! How do you wanna spend this party? You gonna cut a rug?
no subject
It merely all came back to me at once, given the reminder, that is all. [ THAT'S IT ] Focusing on your vacation and how you are going to get there is likely far more important right now.
[ because while he ... knows that his own sword at his hip has the ability to teleport, he hasn't quite figured out how yet. otherwise he'd offer to help. ]
...If I am honest, I do not party. I have two left feet when it comes to dancing, as well. I feel watching everyone else have a good time is plenty of excitement for me.
[ rough ]
no subject
Uh huh, if you say so, Verg. I'd hate to think you were trying to avoid it or anything. P.sure you'd know better than that. [He would hunt you down, Vergil. Like a DOG.] And I already have a GREAT way to get there. I'll let you in on it once I'm home.
[Thoguh he WOULD be touched if Vergil had been in the place to offer help. Instead, the poor man is just gonna get a heart attack instead. Life is unfair. ]
Babe, c'mon, I literally have two left feet. That excuse does not work with me. You don't wanna give it a little try?
no subject
I have more sense than that. I am nothing if not polite, remember. [ do not hunt him down like a dog, that's a terrible idea. ]
...Please look me in the eyes and tell me you can imagine me dancing.
Honestly, and true to your heart, can you even bring such an image to mind without laughing.
Because I cannot.
no subject
That is true. Great to know your manners are still winning out for me!
[Speaking of! Zulius is going to do exactly that. He's going to stare Vergil dead in the fucking eyes for a few long seconds. And then he grins the most shit-eating grin that ever was grinned.
You in DANGER, girl!
Still maintaining eye contact, he's gonna start dancing. Just a little shoulder boogie at first, but the rest of his body soon follows in a little shimmy. He's surprisingly graceful for a quadruped.]
Okay, remember when you told me that you appreciated my wild variety of company? This is one of those times you need it.
[And then he's just gonna start dancing around Vergil, because he'll be involved in this madness if he dances or not. Has Vergil ever had booty bounce from a zebra hiney before? Probably not but now he has- first time for everything.
Your move, Vittore. ]
1/3?
2/3
3/4 i lied
he legitimately turns his head
to look at the window
contemplating throwing himself out of it... ]

Why do you get to leave and I don't?! You suck, Vittore!

bye bro... ]

Which is to say that Nox is already making his way right to Vergil and pulling him away from both the window and Zulius.
To Vergil:] Gonna need you for a hot second, got a moment?
[To Zulius:] Pretty sure you're about to draw a crowd, Zulius, so don't let my interruption stop you.
[He's noticed the discomfort, so Nox might as well try to assist as best he can.]
no subject
Zulius is a little surprised to see it's Nox who's come in to break this up, given he's the one who tasked him with getting Vergil out of his shell more in the first place, but the intrusion does give him time to recoup and show how very unbothered by this he is. Because he is not bothered.
At all.
He scoffs lightly, waving his hand dismissively. On account of not being bothered by this. ]
I am the crowd, go interrupt away.
no subject
maybe he'll find out after nero drags him off and probably gives him a good scolding for being an ass.
One way or another he'll deserve it. He's giving Nero a sort of tired look. ]
