I said vows, didn't I?

[rollplayinghouse]

I seem to remember your vows explicitly disavowing anything to do with feelings.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There's a distinction between a Lilith hell corruption and the second punishment from the Trial. The latter doesn't permanently mark you for Hell -- it's a loss. Something was taken from everyone who experienced it.

Lilith's hell corruption, on the other hand, is an addition. I could move freely around in the rift while Angel, Hurricane and C were paralyzed.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[You smug asshole! Just LOSE already!

(Though the touch does cause Intensity to unpleasantly shiver. A point in her favor)]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Should see the people who have tried to dip him]

A simple curiosity. Is that so awful?

[criminaljustice]

... makes more sense. So it's still possible.

You say loss, I say theft. So in my mind, it's just a matter of finding a way to steal it back. Like I said before.

[leans against a wall, drumming fingertips against the metal, giving away his thinking.]

Lilith's corruption, we'll have to worry about in a different way, then. I'll put it on the list.

[malignstar]

[ Oh Immensity you goof ]

Never said it was. It's just interesting.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well too late now. You already accepted them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It will probably need an actual purification of some sort. Best lead we have so far is to try to get holy water and see what that does.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Maybe I wanted to meet your other half. In the flesh - so to speak.

[criminaljustice]

... okay. Potentially dumb idea but... think holy water in your heart might help with the other kind of corruption?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[It would take a lot more than a kiss for that.

She expresses her appreciation for the gained point by making a soft pleased noise into his mouth.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One step at a time. Let's see if we can get some holy water first and see if it works on Lilith's bullshit.

[malignstar]

[ All play leaves his eyes ]

No you don't. And I don't even know if something like that would work. We're not fighting.

[criminaljustice]

Fair enough. Where to get holy water first.

[rollplayinghouse]

But it wasn't "real," right?

[ducks her head and huffs lightly against his chest]

...I'm not really complaining, for the record. It doesn't matter what you say, I can still see you.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ His hands drag up into Intensity's hair, the pads of his fingers pressing hard into his scalp.

But when the expected sting comes, he hisses with gratification, fingers tightening momentarily before relaxing again. ]

You're over-achieving. You won't get any extra points for this.

[purrrnicious]

[Her grip tightens a little when he tests it, but otherwise it's pretty much just her own wait that pins his wrist down. She just looks down at him, tail curling and twisting lazily, clearly amused.]

You're sure demanding for a dead guy, huh.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Those words seem to briefly pierce the smug and obsessed part of his brain as he pulls back as far as King's grip in his hair will let him.

Oh.

Right.

They were playing a game. Yeah, sure that is what he was doing. (Fuck)]

Bold of you to think that I wouldn't always go for the high score.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There were pools of it back in the rift.

But --- assuming we can't get back there --- we'd have to figure out how to make it ourselves.

[criminaljustice]

[... suddenly, thinking about the pendant Prim brought back from the rift. mental note to ask about it before seeing if Intensity wants to run experiments or something]

We'll figure it out.

In the meantime... any chance I get to know what was going on with you earlier?

[workaholic finds work calming? probably means now's fine to ask.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Flatly:]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[criminaljustice]

Intensity.

[for fuck's sake.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Intensity please.

He doesn't release his grip, though he does let him pull back unobstructed. Scoffing. ]

I can think of a better way to accomplish that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Why would I lower my standards after death?

We all have our reputations to keep.

[Reaches up to try and grab her free wrist]
