[vanitas]

[ After days of constant, low-simmering anger thanks to the red moon, Lucilius is completely drained of any patience whatsoever. Belial's antics don't deserve any attention.

But unfortunately, he isn't the type of person who can leave notifs unread, even if they chime up several thousand times over. This is why he's always contemplating the apocalypse. Please free him from this mortal coil.

After downloading File 9298 of 10007, ]

My botany studies are on hold. I've moved onto figuring out how to best deliver electroshocks through these devices.

[ Maybe he can rig it to blow up if Belial sends him more than 40 characters a day. ]

[raws]

[ That's his Lucilius. Always onto the next big thing. Sometimes he reminds Belial of those animals whose hearts would stop if they weren't constantly on the move. ]

That's easy.

I'd get quite the shock if you sent me a picture.

[vanitas]

[ It's sad that threats never work on Belial. Likewise, his pick-up lines always miss the mark. ]

If only I could say the same for you. [ stop spamming selfies you camho ]

[raws]

[ Lucilius will get a sad puppy selfie in response. ]

I thought you might find the technology convenient.

[vanitas]

[ He deletes it immediately, as he has with any picture that isn't a plant. ]

Do you really think I'd enjoy being so accessible? [ Not that he plans on making many contacts, but all it takes is one annoying spammer. ]

[raws]

Mm. But you no longer have to worry about losing your messengers to distraction.

[ As much as he's going to miss Lucilius coming after him with that exasperated expression. ] 

[vanitas]

I'm certain you'd find some other way to disappoint me.

[ As though a fancy bangle could fix thousands of years of bad habits. ]

[raws]

Aw, Faa-san, we have some good memories too.

If you go to the bedroom, I can remind you.

[vanitas]

Unnecessary.

[ But on that note. ]

Has your condition stabilized at all? [ Belial hadn't stuck around long once his own 'symptoms' started to manifest, but Lucilius can assume he hadn't disappeared for an entirely random bender. ]

[raws]

[ Stabilized is a good way to put it. He no longer feels the intense hunger, though he doesn't feel normal either, normal still being his existence prior to arriving here. ]

Worried about me?

[vanitas]

Don't answer my questions with more questions. [ He's going to go back to aggressively ignoring him soon. ]

[raws]

[ He shivers... Hearing Lucilius order him around always excites him. ]

I'm all better, Faa-san.

That's why I don't have a pair of legs over my shoulders right now.

[vanitas]

That's what cured you? [ Surely there's more to it than just his usual libido. ]

[raws]

No. It had to do with the cycle of the moon.

[ Evidently, no amount of sex could cure him while the moon was in effect. ]

[vanitas]

[ Curious. ]

I've never seen your urges get the better of you, Belial.

[ However much he enjoyed basking in vulgarity and hedonism, they were as much tools to him as anything else. ]

[raws]

Don't lose faith in me now. I was fully aware of what I needed.

[vanitas]

I should hope so.

[ As long as he's got a handle on it... ]

Are you bored of taking pictures of weeds, yet?

[raws]

[ That faith... It makes him feel so warm inside. ]

I have a way of making anything interesting.

[vanitas]

[ He has a way of making things more complicated than they need to be. That's not the same thing. ]

Then perhaps I should leave you to it.

[raws]

And to think I was worried you might not enjoy all the pictures I sent you.

[ Get ready for MORE PLANTS ]

[vanitas]

[ STOP IT ]

I didn't.

[raws]

[ He sends!! More plants!!!!

He wants Lucilius to beg for pictures of him instead. ]

[vanitas]

[ Spoilers: not happening. ]

I had thought you were well enough to return. But I see you're still touched by madness.

[raws]

[ He's bored, but he'd already resolved not to admit it. ]

I'll only observe more plants the longer I'm out here.

[vanitas]

[ Why does he have to make this so tedious... ]

Might I suggest spending your time more productively instead? Such as retrieving the texts I asked you to find days ago? [ "asked," told, whatever. ]
