[it's been a little while since Nova's heard from Jeritza. the demon has been thinking about his sweets-loving friend, he wants to know how he's getting along in the city. so, one evening, a message pops up on Jeritza's communicator]

yo ho hello!
don't worry! it's nova, not a pirate. (*・ω・)ﾉ
checking in to see how life's been treating you!

voice

[divisi]

[This is actually the first message Jeritza has gotten, so it takes him by surprise, and he squints at it, trying to decipher what the fuck Nova is saying.

He shouldn't reply, shouldn't entertain a friendship. But he's struggling. He doesn't have the allies he did at home, and he didn't realize how much those allies were protecting him. He's alone here, and while it's what he wants, it's proving very diffcult.

Finding the letters on the keyboard is slow and frustrating, so he just records his voice.]

Nova... Hello.
Things are chaotic... Confusing.

[bigbanger]

[well, you know, Nova wasn't even sure he was going to receive a reply, so he'll take this as a win. switching to voice immediately to make things easier]

Yeah... I figured they might be. I've been here a few months and I still get confused, myself.

[divisi]

Yes... These machines are difficult... And my memory has been poor.

[It's technically true, and also a huge thing for him to admit to someone else that he's having trouble.]

[bigbanger]

Hm? Your memory?

[divisi]

Yes... I have trouble... Recollecting things, and keeping track of time...

[A sigh. What is he doing?]

Never mind it...

[bigbanger]

[oh]

Ah, okay. If you say so...

Did all that stuff I was trying to teach you about technology kind of... get lost, then?

[divisi]

No, I remember that. I otherwise would have paid no attention to this bracelet... It is... Difficult, but useful.

[bigbanger]

Well, that's good! What else are you finding difficult to do here?

[divisi]

[Well, the main thing is his alter, but that is a whole can of worms he can't open.]

These metal wagons...

[bigbanger]

Metal... wagons...

[jeopardy music]

...Oh! You mean the trains?

[divisi]

Yes... Those. I always get lost...

[bigbanger]

I get it! There are so many lines, so I can understand the confusion. But I think most of the people here have difficulty with finding the right trains and the right stops, so it's not just you.

Like... idk. 4 days after their fight.

[likeiron]

( RING RING MOTHERFUCKER. )

Hey. You done being a bitch?

[divisi]

[ Upon marching away from her, Death Knight took over and has been running the show since, for the most part. Jeritza's feelings were too big and jumbled to deal with. Death Knight doesn't have the burdens of feelings. He's pretty satisfied with the outcome. Until the bitch calls. ]

Your bitch can't come to the phone.

[likeiron]

( of fucking course... )

Really? Sounds like I'm already talking to him.

Fuck off and let me talk to Jeritza. Or do I have to choke you out again?

[divisi]

You must be some kind of masochist. Have you considered he does not want to talk to you? You're nothing but a pest to both of us.

[likeiron]

( Not even once, actually. )

Fine. You talk to me, then. I want to make a deal with you anyway, if Jeritza hasn't mentioned anything.

[divisi]

A deal?

[He barks a laugh.]

The girl wishes to make a deal with the devil? Fine, amuse me.

[likeiron]

First of all, I've dealt with devil's and they're far scarier than you.

( God she hates Death Knight so much... )

It's easy enough for you to understand, I'm sure. You leave everyone the fuck alone and take your bloodlust out on me. Fighting, fucking, whatever, so long as you don't kill me. The latter option only opens up when Jeritza wants it to though.

( if he ever does at this point. )

[divisi]

You truly think someone named The Death Knight is going to quit killing to play some little games with you? I was giving your intelligence far too much credit. You are dense.

[likeiron]

Well why don't you use your brain for half a fucking second and consider your options. I don't want to hurt Jeritza but I will kill you if you hurt anyone else. He'd probably forgive me for it, too.

The alternative is you hurt me, get it out, and leave everyone else out of it. No authorities, no retaliation. And you know damn well I won't be easy.

[divisi]

You kill me, you kill Jeritza. And you won't kill Jeritza. You threw a tantrum just because he wouldn't kiss you.

[His voice is biting as he calls her bluff. He feels cornered by this awful woman. He is not going to stop killing.]

Hurting you may sate me somewhat, but if it does not, I will kill. You don't control me, stupid girl, and I do not fear death.

[likeiron]

I didn't throw a tantrum because he wouldn't kiss me you fucking dunce. I was pissed because he doesn't give a shit about himself and I'm pretty sure that's your fault. And if you don't think I'll kill you to prove a point, you're more stupid than I thought. I'd ask forgiveness once he got back.

( She wouldn't like it. But if there weren't any alternatives? She would absolutely do it. )

Try me then, asshole. I'm all yours.

[divisi]

Got back?

[He does not yet know that death is not permanent.]

You're going to allow me to hurt you? Or are you going to put up a fight and yammer the whole time?
