just two dudes doing demon things, including STABBINGS

[sassery]

WHO: Nox, August, and eventually spectators
WHERE: In the back end of the void Denny's parking lot
WHEN: End-ish of May
WHAT: So Nox wants to show August his devil trigger, and possibly talk with him about... uh... past memories that may or may not indicate he has a hard time getting dying to stick.
WARNINGS: Violence, mostly- the boys will absolutely try to do fatal stabbings here.


[closed to August. Usually Nox isn't one to hurry himself to a location unless it's work-related, but for anyone who's seen him as he passes by may notice that he's moving like he's got a fire lit under his ass. Clearly, nothing suspicious is going on where he's headed to, none!!

It may not help the fact that he's toting around a five foot sword on his back as if it weighs nothing, either.

Still, he's there in about twenty minutes, give or take, feeling his demon pace and his own excitement hum a little under his skin. Nox is trying hard not to count down the minutes until August gets there, if only because he was on the opposite end of the meter in terms of accepting his demon probably around a month ago. Ironic, how things have changed since.

August is absolutely getting a call out when he arrives though.]

Finally, geez, did you want me to grow old waiting for you or what?

[Yeah, uh. That sure is a lot more friendly/sassy than August may remember him last.

spectators.

If you're nearby the void Denny's, you may hear sounds of very disgruntled or very distressed voices. Almost as if they're in pain? Uhhhhhh...

Approach? Run off? Come watch and laugh?]

[Julian caws as they finally get to the Denny's, flying over to circle around Nox and basically check him out.]

Wow, you're in a good mood. [Also? A sword?!] I have to take the bus. Not all of us are gym teachers! What's with the sword?

[sassery]

[Julian gets a look as Nox clamps his mouth shut, feeling a quip about a certain bird-brain linger in the back of his throat. Instead, he shrugs at August's retort.]

Look, pal, sometimes we end up using cars, sometimes we can just walk! [And sometimes you walk at near inhuman speeds because you're too excited, Nox.]

Uh, kiiiiinda a bit of a story? She showed up after you and Jun had left the apartment for the day. [Yes, she. He may not know Red Queen as well as his past self did, but he still ultimately respects her.] But to give you the tl;dr- she's from my past life. The guy I was before all this.

[drewthetower]

[Okay, cool as the sword is:]

Did you just gender your sword? Seriously?

[Nerd! But August is laughing as Julian tries to land on Red Queen's hilt because he can.]

But hey, fuckin' sweet.

[sassery]

Her name is Red Queen, thanks. [WOW, SO WHAT IF HE PICKED UP THE NERDERY OF HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, HUH? Wait till he goes 500% into nerd mode over Blue Rose.

Surprisingly, though, he only turns his head to watch Julian land on the hilt, brow raising.

You know, I bet you'd be really good with some barbecue sauce. He snorts and just lets his grin go wider.]

Yeah, so- the guy. His name was Nero? He fought... a lot. Not with other people, I'm pretty sure he fought demons? Feels right to say that. [A shrug!!] It wasn't all I wanted to show you, but Julian might wanna actually be closer to you than to me.

[drewthetower]

[At that, Julian flies back to August!]

...wait. Dude, did you--

[He mentioned wanting to show off something related to the demon. Does that mean...?]

Spectators

[whiteshroud]

[Nearby the void Denny's? Try standing on the roof. Why? It's not important.

What is important is Jun is in his shroud, minding his own business, when he hears these voices. He leans over the roof ledge to peer down and see what's going on.

What are you two weirdos doing.]

[drewthetower]

[Hi Jun.

Have a bird.

With a bag of chocolate covered pretzels and also August's wallet. Surprise!]

[whiteshroud]

[Surprise indeed! He'll look up at Julian and reach out to take those things]

Thanks Julian.

[sassery]

[Unnnnnsurprisingly, the two voices coming back to him will be very familiar. Both of which have no fucking brain cells currently and thought this was a great idea.

By that, we mean they decided to try and beat the shit out of each other to see what wounds stuck and what didn't.

Currently, August is returning the favor of being stabbed in the hand, and has lodged a card right into Nox's shoulder as he beelines past him.

Which, by the way? That fucking hurts, ow, thanks for that.]

Jesus fuck you don't miss with your shit. [RIPPING THAT OUT, HRGH. The wound's already closing up without him even noticing, really, but Nox is already twisting the handle of the hilt of his sword, the engine roaring to life. Red Queen is not an ordinary greatsword at all. He's already bounding back with the thing in tow, flames dancing all along the edge.]

[drewthetower]

Auto-aim, fucker! I literally can't miss!

[August just cackles as Nox revs the engine.]

Suck it!

[drewthetower]

Caw!

[And there goes August, being thrown back by Nox's attack. Again.

Julian tries to go for one of the pretzels. He needs a snack too!]

[whiteshroud]

[Yeah, seems pretty apt August would get his ass kicked. It'll be fine, probably.

He pulls the bag away from Julian, looking at him]

...Can ravens eat chocolate?

spectators;

[thavnairian]

[Amal had been running some errand or another when he heard something going on, and being nosy as hell, of course he comes over to look. Peering around some scenery he sees two familiar figures duking it out. Amal loves a good fight, and watching one is second only to participating, so he shimmies up some kind of light pole and perches there to watch.

It's not popcorn, but he is a bitch with hot chips-- fuego Takis, naturally.]

[sassery]

[The great thing about spectating is usually, no one notices you're there, or if they do, it doesn't matter. And really, it's pretty evident Nox and August know someone's there, but haven't said anything.

At least until there's a pause for a second, Nox leaning over and taking a breather. Amal's getting a cheery voice and everything with it.]

You gonna keep perching up there for hours? What are you, a bird?

[thavnairian]

[There's a pause. Amal is swallowing his chips, naturally.

And then he does a very convincing bird call. TWEETWEETWEETWEETWEETWEETWEETWEE aww, aww, aww, aww, like a fucking Animal Planet documentary.]

[drewthetower]

[And here comes Julian to fly around Amal's head, adding to the bird calls. Or caws. Or croaks, really.]

Spectating

[caballero_oscuro]

[If by "nearby" you mean "hanging out on the roof", then yes, Meti is pretty close to the void Denny's. Why's he hanging out up there? Don't worry about it.

He does worry about the noises though and peers over the edge of the roof, ready to intervene if someone's getting mugged or something. But no, turns out it's just a couple of idiots having a sword fight and openly using their powers. So normal Denny's shit, really.

...Though his hand itches to reach for a blade of his own (a strange feeling, considering he's never held a proper sword before, but one he'd been experiencing with increasing frequency), he settles for sitting himself down, legs dangling over the side of the building to watch this go down.

Once he takes a quick glance around to see nobody's watching him, he pulls out a milkshake from his cape and lifts his mask just enough to get a straw under it, because really, who can watch a good fight without a good snack to go with it?]

[sassery]

[So, while Meti is chilling and enjoying his milkshake, down below Nox is maybe chasing after August and then successfully grabbing him and suplexing him into the pavement.

...that sure did leave a dent in the parking lot, huh. As if that cement was nothing more than splinters of wood. Nox is definitely letting go enough for August to scramble out of his grip, but he's still laughing.]

C'mon, I was just trying to give you a hug, August!

[Yep, he's an asshole.]

[drewthetower]

Fuck you!

[Getting up and brushing off his clothes before making to kick Nox in the gut (it is a pathetic kick).]

You're lucky this shit ain't expensive!

[On some other part of the Void Denny's roof--how did Caesar get up there? Unimportant, but he's taken to it recently because reasons--and...

Okay, so there's two guys fi--wait a minute one of those guys is August. This ought to be good.

He's just going to pull a bag of cookies from his backpack and munch on those as he watches.]

[drewthetower]

[Julian divebomb! Unarmed! Because he wants a cookie give him a cookie his human is being stupid.]

[bolledivita]

Hello to you too, Julian.

[As he offers a cookie. If Julian was a normal bird, he wouldn't, but...]

[drewthetower]

[Cookie! Jun is still his favorite but you get to be Current Favorite.

Down below, August whistles for Julian. Julian ignores him.]

Spectators

[not_a_possum]

[Hearing the sounds of fighting and combat, one curious little imp follows the source of the sound only to see...two guys fighting. One of whom apparently has one Hell of a sword. The part of Moxxie that is Maxwell Lansky is horrified by the violence, but there's another part, a part that's only existed since he woke up like this, that's strangely fascinated and drawn to it. He ends up deciding to stay where he is, telling himself that his small size will help him go unnoticed, and watch the chaos in front of him. After all, if one of them gets seriously injured they'll need someone to call for help, right? Right. That makes perfect sense, and it's enough for Moxxie to justify settling down and just watching the scene before him.]

Spectators

[tyrantrevelio]

[Killia usually made it a point these days to leave things be at night since he got to Kaisou. But the sounds and din of the brawl nearby couldn't be ignored, and with something of a sigh, he went to investigate. He walked under a lit streetlight not far from the Void Denny's but close enough to actually catch sight of the brawl. His silhouette and shadow looked somewhat less human now with his pointed ears, but he decided to ignore how that might look.

He sighed, watching this. He just hoped someone wouldn't end up hurt, and he'd prefer not to step in if he didn't have to. Though it wouldn't stop him from muttering to himself.]

Why is this... this seems like a good way to get in trouble.
