text; un: darkSlayer / One Thought, Feels Immensity
WHO: Vergil + the network, + alexandria stuff
WHERE: Libra App for the first part, library of alexandria for the second
WHEN: sometime mid-september
WHAT: Vergil talks about his shop, + vergil reads something he shouldn't
WARNINGS: might have talk of violence in the second prompt, as he'll be reading some things about a certain tree from hell he raised in his past life. combining an event prompt on here just so i dont have to keep track of two posts :sweat:
network//.
Vergil Vittore here, addressing Libra for two things:
I am sure at least one or two people may have noticed that the shop I run has been removed from its previous location in Brick Alley. For those who are concerned: this was not done out of a wish to no longer run my shop due to... recent events, but rather, it is because a friend of mine saw reason to help me procure a new location for the shop. It is bigger than the old one--so I can put on display many more things than I could previously--even if it is not in such a high-traffic area as before.
It is an antiquities shop, so traffic was never my concern.
That aside.
A bigger shop also means more to run--and I have been doing so mostly on my own since I arrived in the city half a year ago. Other than my brother and son--I have only one employee who works at the actual shop for me, and one who runs pick ups and deliveries.
Which brings me to the point: I am looking for a few extra hands around the shop. My store is open Tuesday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm. I handle the opening hours myself, of course, but having some workers willing to work for noon onwards so I may go out and handle other business I have would... be a great help.
My shop is mostly focused on weaponry and old items relating to wars and the like--jewelry and old books, as well as century pieces made by hand.
Your job would simply watching the store or completing transactions for people looking to buy. I handle any apprasials and buying off sellers in the morning.
...I am offering this work to Libra App users, so there is no resume needed.
Simply let me know if you are interested and we can work out the details. The shop does not re-open until October 1st, as an aside.
Good day.

records room//. library
[ The call of a library named after a certain Giant Of A Man he's already met had been a big enough lure in and of itself--but once Vergil had parted ways from the King of Conquerers, he finds himself turning to what the library had to offer. he turns himself away from the sounds of fighting in one of the areas of the library, and he spends a number of hours in the Literature section, certainly--so finding Vittore surrounded in a literal pyramid of poetry books he so SORELY wishes he could bring home is definitely one sight someone may be able to catch.
but where he finds so many hours of fond entertainment in those books--perhaps going to the records room had been a terrible idea, comparatively.
He keeps himself, at least, from picking up the Records with his Brother and Son's name written on them, but he cannot stay his hand from a few others. One being that of a woman named Eva--and a Devil named Sparda.
Understanding their history properly was a priority, certainly, and at the very least he now understands why Dante seems so haunted by his blood; why he and Nero are such skilled and avid fighters. Necessity. Demons in his past selve's world were a dime a dozen--it was learn how to fight, or become a husk.
...A husk.
That's what the book he holds now calls it. A thick, silver-blue tome that looks as if it were, at one point, torn in half and then re-cobbled together.
It tells a story of a great tree, risen from hell itself, and determined to drink the blood of every human that crossed its path. A bulbous, porous thing that grew from the very earth, uprooting buildings and roads without much care. With it, bringing an army of Blood-drinking monsters that tore apart Redgrave City--a place Dante called home--a place perhaps Vergil did, at one point, as well.
It's not a good story. And perhaps it's the look of slowly dawning horror on his face that makes the almost quiet scene of Vittore standing--reading from the heavy book one hard to look away from. Those slitted, catlike eyes thin with an expression that is nearly frantic as he turns the page.
Again, and again.
Each word writing a testament to what sort of a person he was. Who Dante remembers. Who Nero...
...
....Maybe it's best to tear the book away from him? ]

Vergil is quiet. He's so quiet for a long moment, and he's looking away. Hopefully, by the time Zulius is looking at the Blake book--he'll have missed the fact that the long silence was, in short, Vergil attempting not to laugh. A shake in his shoulders as he suppresses the sound from escaping, either out of some quiet embarrassment--or perhaps years of training to keep from making a fool of himself by having an outburst.
He shakes his head at Zulius' question. ]
I drew the 'V' on the cover. However, the paintings inside were done by Blake himself, I believe. It is a precious old antique, after all.
[ he's gonna' clear his throat. Nope, he didn't laugh. ]
no subject
You are allowed to laugh, y'know? The Chuckle Police won't come and arrest you for it or anything.
[Oh, but okay this IS actually something fascinating. It's a huge piece of nerdery and one he can actually get behind properly. He coos happily, genuinely excited by the little book.]
No way! Like legitimately by Blake? I love it. It's like a little slice of poet history in your pocket!
no subject
One can never be too safe. I am not about to test fate for the first time in the middle of some great foreign library.
They may have their own rules here.
[ he'll give his head a little shake, before offering the book to Zulius--to let him flip through the precious old book. ]
Most of the things in my store are exactly that.
It is a hobby most do not understand. ...I merely like the idea of keeping things that should not be lost to time.
Just like this book.
no subject
You scared of a few possibly immortal librarians coming and sushing you? I'm pretty sure we could outrun them if we needed to. Might as well continue with this rebellious streak you've started.
[He can see this book means a great deal to Vergil, though, so he takes it very carefully. He flips through slowly and steadily, making sure not to damage the pages as he goes. ]
That's actually kind of a sweet way to look at it. Like being a custodian of things that might get lost otherwise, huh?
no subject
[ does he believe this? no. but is he making an excuse for it? yes. all while crossing his arms a little. He's... settling down a little, from his panic, when Zulius had found him. Amazing what a small talk can do to bring one down from their thoughts.
He looks thoughtful as Zulius calls him a 'custodian of lost things'...
And he can't honestly say he dislikes that idea.
There's a small smile on his face. Tiny. ]
There is something oddly touching about that title.
Perhaps I will borrow it.
no subject
[It would be a huge-scale tragedy, obviously!!! He's noticed Vergil has calmed somewhat and is more than happy for things to keep going in that particular direction.
That smile is also welcome, tiny as it is. He knows even the smallest of smiles from his friend is a victory. And so he returns it. ]
It suits you. You can keep it, it's all yours.
