[kaz floats past the comment about it not being his fashion in the same way he will soon float from a cupcake, and laughs uproariously at the joke.]

Good one, Father! Imagine! A holy man in the service of the devil! Ha ha ha!

[commedia]

Hahahahaha! Yes, yes! Its quite a jest! One of my greatest jokes yet, yes? Hahaha!

[It really was a joke, but probably not in the way Kaz thought.]

Nnnn, but my Lord is great and powerful, you know? Truly someone I'm more than happy to follow.

[bachelorbored]

Oh, I wouldn't go so far as to say your greatest, but yeah, it's pretty good. [he nods pleasantly, and suddenly seems to realize something.] Are there any marshmallows?

Who is your "lord", anyway? The mayor, or something?

[commedia]

Mmmhmmhmm. I will check.

[And so, he sweeps back over to the cabinet to look for some.]

No! Nothing as small as a mayor. Mmm. You could say they have the power to change the entire world.

[bachelorbored]

Oh, that's cool.





Any marshmallows?

[commedia]

Yes, here you go.

[Just plops the bag right in front of him.]

...Say, Kaz. Would you consider yourself a powerful mage?

[bachelorbored]

Oh, thanks.

[:)!!!]

Well, not to play my own french horn, but, yeah. I'm the most respected and well-known magistocrat in Neo Yokio, after all.

[this doesn't seem to bother him. he extracts a handful, and deposits them all into his hot chocolate.]

Perfection.

[commedia]

...

[And a low, sweeping bow, almost instantly, his tone ever so ingratiating.]

Oh, dear Kaz. May this humble priest ask you of a favor, then? I don't know who else to turn to...

[bachelorbored]

Huh? If it's to do with work, you'd probably have to go through my aunt. She'd kill me for doing anything pro-bono.

[commedia]

No, no, not that. Not your demons. You see...

[He shifts back up into a straight, standing position. splaying a hand against his chest.]

Well, its obvious, isn't it? I'm not human. But I cannot exist in this world for long. And its only mages like you that can help me.

[bachelorbored]

[kaz. blinks.]

You're not human?

[was it obvious??]

[commedia]

...

[wow]

[just]

[wow]

Haha! Yes. I was once. But now, I only exist as what I am. A Heroic Spirit, summoned to fight the battles of humanity.

[bachelorbored]

Okay, but you look like a human, dude! I don't know what else to tell you.

[commedia]

[INTERNALLY CLOSING EYES]

Apologies. I am but a silhouette of humanity, nothing more. A shadow. A farce. So, I am sorry, to have misled you...

[bachelorbored]

Oh, uh, it's cool, I'm not bothered or anything.

[his words are saying one thing, but his face is saying another. and what it's saying is this:

you are probably a crazy hollywood actor going through a midlife crisis, so i will let you have this delusion, because you're getting a little creepy.]

Just don't... heroically... fight me?

[commedia]

Why would I fight you? Kaz. Tsk tsk. If I was your Heroic Spirit, then I would be your Servant. You would be my Master. And I wouldn't harm a lovely pink hair on your head, and instead serve you as best as I could.

[And a hum, moving back to lean on the counter again.]

But if you don't want that, it's fine. All I ask for is that through your magical energy, you keep me in existence. It would be done through very simple ways. You would barely have to lift a finger. Can this humble follower of Buddha ask this of you? I am sorry, to request it like this...

[bachelorbored]

[kaz stops, mid-hot chocolate sippy, marsmallows melting gently around his lips



what???????????????????

he lowers the mug again, stares for a long moment, and weighs out his options.]

Like, uh. Like how?

Because I'm not really into the BDSM scene. Like, at all, actually. That's not a scene I am presently in. I am absent from that scene entirely.

[commedia]

...

......



What is BDSM?

[bachelorbored]

Oh, nothing. [his voice is totally normal, except that it pitches up ever so slightly at the end, cracking gently like an egg placed on a countertop a little too firmly] It stands for "Bad Day Soon... Me"? Yeah, I think that's right.

What were you talking about?

[commedia]

...I see. Bad Day Soon Me, huh...

[He absolutely does not believe this is what it means.]

Nnn. Oh, very simple. Some magical rituals, that's all. Maybe a couple of kisses for good measure. Nothing more unless you wanted!

[wait back up]

[bachelorbored]

What!? Ah--

[he actively fumbles the hot choccie, splashing it on the countertop as he gasps, trying to catch it. when he finally grasps it firmly, he looks up, eyes open wide.]

I'm not kissing you!

[THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH HOLLYWOOD!!!]

[commedia]

[Limbo, despite Kaz freaking out, is completely unfazed.]

Haha! It's only an option! Most mages tend to go for short and sweet or just plain old magic rituals, hm! Besides, you are a rather handsome young man, I wouldn't be opposed...but it's your choice!

[bachelorbored]

No! I am not interested in dudes! [his voice pitches up again as kaz struggles to master his own sudden skittishness. he's fine. he's fine!!]

I mean--if it's magistocratic power use, I can't really help anyway—I haven't been able to use my powers since I arrived in this shithouse! So, uh... yeah! Tough luck, I guess! We have to stay friends and not kiss each other!

[commedia]

...Is that what concerns you? Huhuhu. Kaz, this Limbo is simply Limbo. Whatever you want them to be, hm?

[But this really is amusing. Limbo lets out a little sigh, moving to pat the other's head gently, like a mother would do for a child.]

Yes, yes. Just friends. Thank you of thinking of me as such.

[bachelorbored]

Friends! [his voice arches a bit again, before settling back down, and he lifts his mug to limbo. who is. currently. patting him? okay. that's fine, actually. he smiles encouragingly.] We're friends!

And, you know, friends is great, actually, because I don't have any other friends who are both here and alive that make such a great--[he takes a big sip, and smiles again!]--hot chocolate, so! [the mug is still lifted!] You're my best friend, Father!

[limbo's assigned gender is now friend.]
