WHO: Vergil, Dante, and You.
WHERE: Libra app.
WHEN: Morning of May 10th.
WHAT: Wolfwood's gone and there's blood everywhere.
WARNINGS: tws for mild violence bc hoo boy.
[ why is it usually always the morning when Vergil addresses the network? It's like some sort of running Habit.
But this time it isn't some awkward text message or ask, some stuffily delivered lines with a reluctance to come out with what he's struggling with.
No.
It's a sort of painful to look at sight, as the video is a slow pan over the front of his antiques shop. The front window behind where the silver-haired bookish demon can usually be found has been smashed--outward, for the observant, which means whatever broke it came from inside.
On the sidewalk in front of said window, there's a splattering of blood. Bright crimson in some places, a brackish black in others.
a certain large Cross-Shaped gun is half-hanging out the window, seemingly left behind; dropped suddenly as its owner seems to have just... disappeared. ]
My CCTV cameras were all wrapped in strange paper. The video feed from them show nothing but a single dark, painted eye.
I hear voices on the feed, but most of them are muffled. I know for sure one is of my deliveryman. Nicholas D. Wolfwood.
There are bullets littering the inside of the shop. He broke open no less than three of the display cases.
I'm certain there's other things broken, but for now, that is not important.
[ there's a shout from behind the camera, one of a different demon--filled with a passionate, almost growling rage. What's important is one of those Order dickheads waltz onto our turf and took Nick!
Vergil sighs. ]
The ones behind this are getting sloppier. There's demonic blood everywhere. And I am most certain this is our 'fourth victim'.
I was there when we rescued Fugo. If the demon who did this is listening...
You will not walk away from this one with your life.
And it will not even be me who threatens it.

But. He knows how HE was at Kni's age. And such a dismissal would have offended. Enraged. So instead... ]
He is.
I do not know who stole him away, but they caught him off guard.
We will get him back. That, I promise.
no subject
Are there any leads?
[walking a tightrope keeping his voice from tipping over.]
It's a lot of blood, he- he can survive losing that much, but it's still--
[his voice drops, quieter,] Why him?
no subject
There is quite a lot of demonic blood around. So I fully believe Nicholas attacked his attacker back, and left quite a grevious wound on the creature. There's a fair larger amount of the demon's blood around the shop than your parent's own.
Take solace in that. One of his friends is here trying to find a lead with magical means.
As to why it was him... I do not know. It is a question I wish I had the answer to, as well.
no subject
Wolfwood is just Wolfwood. [certainly not his parent, regardless of what it says on his legal documents here or how he may feel if he ever acknowledged those feelings.]
It isn't fair.
no subject
Many things in life are not fair.
I believe it is simply the wrong place at the right time.
no subject
he doesn't want to lose him now.]
No, I suppose they aren't.
[but it still makes him so angry.]
If... when you have any information, could you tell me- please?
no subject
[ you are a child.
but
you are a child who has the determination of someone much older. And he's being hit in the weakness here. Love for family always gets him where it hurts. ]
I will not leave you in the dark in this manner.
