[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.]
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...
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.
[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!!!]
[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!
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!
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!
[when will you assign me the gender of "lover who can and will destroy you",
[But! Sure! WHY NOT. Limbo takes the cup from Kaz's hands.]
...This priest has never heard such a thing from anyone. I am...very moved. [Limbo closes their eyes, taking a long sip of the cocoa.] Mmm. It really is good...to share such a thing with a friend.
[kaz offers zero resistance as limbo collects the mug from his hands and drinks from it. instead, he just seems kind of horrifically mesmerized at the act, enough so that his reply takes a moment as he collects himself, still blinking at the act.]
Uh. Right. You're so right.
[there's another beat as his eyes unfix from limbo, and slide down to the mug, before he points at it.]
[friends share things. apparently? he doesn't touch the mug again. the marshmallows continue to melt within its chocolatey depths.]
Oh, yeah. It's. Yeah. [he's still slowly collecting himself, but now that they're swapping away from this weird conversation, he's gaining confidence again.] Yeah, you should be excited! It's going to slap extremely hard.
[he's on his feet, and actually rifling through the kitchen drawers.]
I can't wait to see the look on your face when it's done!
[kaz successfully withdraws a pair of kitchen scissors, and gives them a trial air run. snip snip!! nice and sharp. he beams.]
Sure! Who hasn't practiced their burgeoning stylist skills on their mechabutler equipped with the hair fabrication module? Ah, what nostalgic youthful memories.

[:)!!!]
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.

[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...

no subject
[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.
no subject
You're not human?
[was it obvious??]
no subject
[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.

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

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

no subject
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.
no subject
......
What is BDSM?
no subject
What were you talking about?
no subject
[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]

[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.
no subject
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.]

[there's another beat as his eyes unfix from limbo, and slide down to the mug, before he points at it.]
Also, that's all yours now. You're welcome!
I'd better go set up the salon. [the bathroom.]
no subject
[Everything you own belongs to Limbo now. That is law. :)]
[Limbo puts the mug down with a nod.]
Lead the way. I am excited for what you will do!
no subject
Oh, yeah. It's. Yeah. [he's still slowly collecting himself, but now that they're swapping away from this weird conversation, he's gaining confidence again.] Yeah, you should be excited! It's going to slap extremely hard.

no subject
[Sure hope all the knives and scissors weren't stolen!]
Have you done this for someone before?
no subject
[kaz successfully withdraws a pair of kitchen scissors, and gives them a trial air run. snip snip!! nice and sharp. he beams.]
Sure! Who hasn't practiced their burgeoning stylist skills on their mechabutler equipped with the hair fabrication module? Ah, what nostalgic youthful memories.
