[Scaramouche bounced from discussions without hearing the final decisions because he's pretty sure about what they're going to go with anyway. It's fine! He's just vibing in one of the many strange dream-like rooms in Satan's massive house, listening to something on his phone.
He'll pause it and look up whenever Ryo happens across the room, though.]
[They're just out here... More than anything, he's just Tired by this point and wants to be done with all of these shenanigans one way or another. Nodding at the expected answer, though.]
To be honest, I'm shocked we ended up with the possibility of choosing at all.
[He was actually kind of?? Hoping that the plans would fail???? Because he's selfish and terrible and fuck all these other people, he was content. Now he's gotta go back home and fight god again, UGH.
He nods, though.]
I know what tricks to expect from that god this time. I won't fail twice.
I want to kill God in my world, but my issue is that He's both omnipotent and omniscient. There's no point in going back if I haven't figured out a way to win yet.
[A nod. Thanks for the support, fellow aspiring-to-kill-god twink.]
Mm. Well, at the very least, being here has proven that even the most omniscient and omnipotent being in any given world aren't the most omniscient and omnipotent in all. If killing your god is what you want to do, then I wish you success.
[HE REALLY JUST SAID "YEAH GO KILL THE CHRISTIAN GOD I BELIEVE IN YOU".]
[Like. A devilman or whatever the fuck BUT DEFINITELY A HUMAN HEART AND A HUMAN BRAIN. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO SOMEONE SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF A GOD he's going to go fight Akira behind a Denny's.]
[WHY IS AKIRA SO SKILLED AND CHOOSING THE ABSOLUTE WORST TIMES TO START A CONVERSATION.]
You're still close, even then?
[Their relationship gives It's Complicated in general, but he doesn't think he could tolerate closeness with someone who would say something like that to his face, damb.]
[ he's quiet for a moment, trying to figure out how to say this in a way that isn't completely pathetic. and then figures there is no way to do that, so. ]
After I forgot what I was, my very first memory was of Akira. He found me and told me I would be okay, and after that he became the most important thing in the world to me.
[ ryo had done everything he could to make sure akira would survive the world ending, because he didn't want to be apart from him. ]
But it's not a feeling that's mutual. Even here, he's still choosing people he's known for two months over me. So, we're likely not as close as I like to think.
[This is so pathetic but fortunately or unfortunately it's something that pushes on Scaramouche's soft little peach bruises, so he has nothing sharp or mean to say about it. His expression has a little bit of a bitter edge to it, though! But he has a lot of bitterness to spare today, so that's probably not a surprise.
He seems to be considering what he wants to say for a second, and then:]
Do you know what he intends to do? Beyond apparently attempting to figure out what's going on in your god's head.
[He thinks Ryo is valid, frankly! He also wanted everyone to fail so he could just vibe with the people he'd unfortunately become attached to, but Life Is Not Kind.
He's quiet for a little while. Considering. And then:]
Come with me, then. [JUST INVITES SATAN TO TEYVAT.] There's no way of telling whether or not a path to Hell will stay open, but Lu Bixing is working on doors between our worlds, so you could travel through them freely. There are plenty of omniscient gods in my world. You could learn something there.
[NOT ONLY COME TO TEYVAT BUT ALSO COME TO TEYVAT TO LEARN HOW TO KILL GOD.]

So. Plans unchanged?
no subject
Nothing has happened to change them, no.
no subject

no subject
[ he has zero hope but also
it did not matter much to him anyway. so. ]
You're going home, right?
[ his godhood ]
no subject
[He was actually kind of?? Hoping that the plans would fail???? Because he's selfish and terrible and fuck all these other people, he was content. Now he's gotta go back home and fight god again, UGH.

no subject
What about after that?
no subject
They unfortunately continue to be the same person in terrible ways.]
Then I become the ruling god in her stead and begin work on tearing down Celestia and dismantling the Heavenly Principles.
[Scaramouche out here like "fuck EVERY god and ALSO the wholeass of the divine".]
no subject
[ continue to be the same person. ]

no subject
Mm. Oh, wait-- who told you I was Satan?
no subject
Ah. The demon in possession of Akira's body mentioned it the week that he was running free.
[He's known this for so long and has truly just been sitting on it...]
no subject
[ that's
so funny actually ]
no subject
...When did you find out?
no subject
[ he hates it here ]
no subject
...If I had known you didn't know, I would have told you. I just assumed it was something you didn't want to discuss.
no subject
[ this is so funny. cucked by amnesia ]
no subject
[RYO... being amnesia beamed directly by The Christian God. Wild. There's a little beat, and then:]
He mentioned wanting to understand him. Akira, that is - wanting to understand your god. I told him it's a pointless endeavor.
[Speaking as a god, gods are fucking incomprehensible.]
no subject
Akira told me that if I behaved better, my god would stop trying to kill me.
[ no god just wants ryo to fuckin suffer. it was funny being told that. ]
no subject
He is, after all, just a human.
[Like. A devilman or whatever the fuck BUT DEFINITELY A HUMAN HEART AND A HUMAN BRAIN. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO SOMEONE SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF A GOD he's going to go fight Akira behind a Denny's.]
no subject
It mostly just showed the gap of understanding, I think.
no subject
You're still close, even then?
