[RYO!!! He frowns in confusion, but carries on.]

Because of what happened the other day?

[Did... Chandra... have a change of heart? This is wild. Chandra beat his demon...]

[Look, he is the biggest dumb-dumb, for real. But... they are in hell, weird shit has been happening, and Ryo has hurt his trust a little before.

So he does not believe this exactly, even if he doesn't argue.

He guides Ryo right out to the ferry by the shoulders, then right onto the ferry by the shoulders too. Time to hit up the creepy, very icky clown carnival. He's still leading Ryo by the shoulders, but Ryo has time to... look, judge, and accept where he has been taken.]

You'll see. Not this part.

[The carnival isn't so bad, ignoring all of the misery put into it by hell, but that isn't why he dragged Ryo out here.

He leads them over toward the rigged game stalls, then through them. The bar! He makes Ryo go down first, still in front of him, and when they get near the bottom of the stairs where strange orbs begin to rise up......

...he gently shoves Ryo out into them.

Hehe. Ball pit.]

[Wh--NO. He was gonna jump in! AHHH.

He looks stunned Ryo pulled him down into the pit, too, despite knowing good and damn well Ryo is not going down alone.

He lands on top of him, though. Crush the nerd.]

[say it any other way please

Using the spread of balls, he tries to get himself up on his hands and knees... but that only makes all of the balls swarm down on top of Ryo. CONSUME. He... laughs? He actually laughs, but then very suddenly clears his throat to cover the humor. HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE MAD...

Carefully, he tries to uncover Ryo's face.]


If you ate more, you wouldn't sink to the bottom. Cool, huh? The whole bar is full of it.

[HE REALLY BROUGHT RYO ALL THIS WAY TO SEE THE BALL PIT......]

[He sits back on his heels as Ryo sits up. The balls really don't give Ryo any opportunity not to be covered. So he digs his feet down through the balls mostly to the floor, stands up,

then scoops his hands under Ryo's arms to heft Ryo up into a standing position.]


They have drinks besides beer, too. Do you want to try some?

[Fifty shitty bars. Truly hell.

He wades through the balls toward the bar; Ryo can follow if he wants. The ball pit gets deeper as they go unfortunately, all the way up to the waist.]


There are two, I think. Which one do you want? "Strange Medicine," or "Number Nine"?

[personal profile] tearduct 2023-02-14 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tch. Fucking spoiled. It's like he thinks he's an angel, or something.]

Let's share the Number Nine then.

[Since Ryo thought the other one sounded suspicious by name. He doesn't think about it being suspicious so much as he associates medicine with a bitter taste.

So he orders them the Number Nine.]

[Love that this will change absolutely nothing for Ryo actually. Hilarious.]

That just means he'll be strong for the contest.

[Hearing "Satan might have a drinking problem" from Satan is sure something.]

...Are you going to play to go home, Ryo?

[Ryo doesn't answer his question in the way he meant, in the way he knows Ryo knows he meant. They're in hell. From his end, they've been through a lot, some of it things he didn't like.

So he thinks to press, but the drink interrupts him by coming out, and he doesn't get the chance.

He already suspects he will have to drink first, so he picks it up to smell it and then sip a chunk of it. His eyes widen.]


...It's really good.

It is. About time.

[The only decent stuff was at the party, and now it’s all gone.

Once Ryo is finished, he takes it back to have another sip. It’s so much better, god.

Speaking of GOD, he starts to slide the drink to Ryo again, but has to

double-take when he looks at Ryo.

[He just… looks at Ryo for the longest moment before his face gets flushed, and he hastily looks away to, like, the bar.

It really dawned on him out of nowhere…

Slowly, he looks back at Ryo.]


You’re… just… the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
