[Watching movies with Top Dollar is always an enjoyable experience (especially when they're Die Hard and the villain is basically Yeager) but there's actually a damn good reason behind movie night tonight, mostly in the form of a note Yeager passed Top Dollar about ten minutes before the end of the movie.

Our gunners are Yukino and Yuri. I've spoken with both of them and confirmed it. Yukino believes there may be a third one.

He's certainly not going to draw any attention to that note or what was written there, but once the movie's over he doesn't seem interested in leaving immediately.]

You certainly do have amazing taste in entertainment! I'm a bit disappointed we don't have anything so wonderful back home!

[well, for what it's worth it's not like he thinks there's anything wrong with you or anything? ...he also just doesn't get why you're weird and sad about it because he's got all the empathy of a rock.]

I've got something like twelve of the fuckers. Six of those first aid kits.

[...]

They're not anything I ordered, I stole 'em from Kevin.

[scythegun]

[WOULDN'T YOU BE UPSET IF YOU WERE A ZOMBIE]

My, he really was prepared, wasn't he? Well, I'll take some of them off your hands! I sincerely hope I won't need them all since Yuri can get his own bandages.

[devilsnight]

[...No, but that's because the idea of being dead kind of terrifies him on some visceral level and he'd quite like to put off being dead at all costs, thank you?? Like holy shit son if he dies you'd better find some way to bring him back he doesn't give a single fuck if he's a lich after you do it]

...I think he was trying to see who had sugar in their system. All of those blood sugar testers were gone; probably seeing who had frosting-induced healing when Estelle died.

[Which is...kind of ironic given what happened with Kevin later, but.]

[scythegun]

[OH MY GOD, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS]

Oh, that makes sense.

[THAT'S SO FUNNY?? HOLY FUCK HE'S TRYING NOT TO LAUGH.]

Well, I definitely appreciate it! The last thing I need is for Yuri to die on me. I don't really trust Duke with saving the world all on his own.

[...Or even just all of Yuri's friends. Some of them are okayish but they're mostly kids or Raven AND ALSO THERE'S A DOG WITH A KNIFE, so uh...]

[devilsnight]

Well, that and you're doing that weird nurturing thing again.

[JUST SAYING, YEAGER.]

[scythegun]

I am not. As I said, I just need him alive to save the world!

[OH MY GOD?? OH MY GOD NO.]

[devilsnight]

It's okay if you like the guy, you know. It's not like I give a fuck.

Besides, he's fucking hilarious.

[...somebody let them talk at one point, this was probably a Mistake.]

[scythegun]

[...this was absolutely a Mistake.]

He was a constant thorn in my side for a long time! He also broke into my house, which was very rude. Oh, and he killed quite a few of my men!

[yeager your fucking priorities]

[devilsnight]

[...]

Yeah, and?

[scythegun]

...And I dislike him?

[THIS IS THE MOST ???????? RESPONSE HE'S EVER GIVEN ANYONE, FEEL PROUD]

[devilsnight]

The things you just threw out there don't always add up to that, is all.

[...his relationship with eric is kind of Complicated on his end, all right]

[scythegun]

Well, I'm not sure how anyone would draw any other conclusion! He certainly knows I'm not fond of him!

[this is so Difficult, why couldn't it have been the dog, he legitimately hates the dog]

[devilsnight]

Well, I didn't appreciate Eric Draven breaking into my house and killing my guys, either. But I sure as shit do appreciate him as a person, let's put it that way.

[...that ring he's been wearing on the cord since christmas and generally doesn't take off is eric's goddamn wedding ring]

[scythegun]

[. . .]

You know, I was fine with this comparison until that happened. I'm not sure if you're really into this man or not.

[devilsnight]

No...?

[...]

No. Hell did you get that idea?

[i mean like

wearing the guy's wedding ring and telling him he's the only thing that's made him feel alive in years is one thing

actually being interested is sort of ew]

[scythegun]

You appreciate him as a person, even though he killed your men and broke into your house.

[...this does explain it, right? He's not crazy, right???]

[devilsnight]

Fuck, absolutely.

[Said with all the confidence in the goddamn world, uh. That aside - ]

Doesn't mean I'm into the guy, though. And I can't think of a single goddamn way to explain why he's appreciated without making it sound like I am, but trust me, there's a difference.

[...And the usual bluntness is back, doing him no favors.]

[scythegun]

I'll take your word for it! I can assure you that's definitely not the same thing for me.

[HE'S DEFINITELY NOT INTO YURI]

[devilsnight]

What, being into the guy or appreciating them as a person?

If it's the former then I'm glad to hear it, friend, because being interested in people like that is a little fucked up.

[.............

does he just. not understand irony. or does he just not care.]

[scythegun]

[..................HE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT OH MY GOD]

Definitely the former, but I only appreciate what he can do for me!

[devilsnight]

If you say so.

[...]

Anyway, this has gotten both kinda unholy and boring as fuck. Not too sure I'm here for it.

[ohhhhhhh my god]

[scythegun]

[s i g h]

I'm not sure it can be both at the same time, but thank you.

[maybe one day he will be used to this...............]

Well, it is Thursday night, maybe I should head back to my room and hope I don't get murdered on the way there!

[OH MY GOD]

[devilsnight]

You want me to walk you home or something?

[...]

You know, all goddamn twenty feet away?

[scythegun]

No, no, that won't be necessary! Though if you find me dead outside your door tomorrow then I'm sorry!

[devilsnight]

Swear to god, if you ever do that to me I'm gonna find a way to kick your ass anyway.
