" Yurious Yaoific... "

The demonlord's voice thunders deep in the throne room of the palace of Thousand Years of Darkness. The man still sits upon his throne as the hero arrives.

" I remember your father.... Yurificforus Yaoific. We share quite a history but... to think he was to die by my hand. I took my time with him, he deserved as much. "

Eiden can say he feels strangely nostalgic playing the role, like he's done this before. His acting experience on stage is actually fairly small consisting one role in a school play but he's fairly sure he can pull this off easy. After all he knows rpgs like his own pockets. He would complain about having to use Yuri's Halloween costume but apparently something happened for the original costume....

" I heard you took care of my henchmen.... Aster and Morvay."

Those will be only normal names you'll hear.

" you might know them as...Lord of Thornspects and Creamy Condominium."

[kleinstar]

Duuuuuude this is so anticlimactic thoooughhhh!!!

Is there no salvaging this? Eiden stands there, looking down to the hero crawling to grab the cape, pull it down until his fingers draw off. He can only sigh at the pathetic display as Yurious life drains away.

" Heroes... "

" Every century they send a new one. Little do you know though... This was all planned. An intended result. "

Bitter laugh leaves him as he pocked the hero with the with the tip of his foot before turning around towards the audience.

" They want entertainment after all. Heroes and demonlords. So there's not much I can do about it... " he laughs now ready to leave - only to turn around once more, " except play along. "

The End.

What is this?! A Klein fairytale?! Only they've got the weird endings like this...

yuri feigns a gasp, then another -- choked, this one -- as the ferocious blast rips through his torso. it's actually somewhat reminiscent of a near-fatal wound he has taken before, but he forces himself not to dwell on the phantom pain.

"what... h-how...?" he coughs, stock still until his clattering sword brings him out of his trance. he falls to his knees beside it, hand clutching the imaginary wound.

"revel in your victory... while you still can," he's milking the melodrama for all it's worth, fingers digging into the demon lord's cape, "you'll--" another cough "--you'll draw your final breath someday, too. 'n i'll be there to greet you in hell... you bastard."

...alrighty, time to kick the bucket!

"i'm sorry... fa...ther..." bleh. dead.

[kleinstar]

Eiden laughs, low first then slowly rising his pitch until his voice sinks into smaller chuckles that then slowly die off as well.

" Cheap tricks you say? Oh how fair of you... If only the world was too... "

" ....hm? "

He lies his fingers against his cheek watching Yurious wondering as to who in the world is he talking about. The demonlord hadn't ever had suitors or an intention to marry but he was no Virgin Mary either as one might expect.

" My.... I'm afraid there's no chance I'd ever remember such a case for --- "

Then Yurious brings about the card. Now the Demonlord might forget what happened on these countless nights but there was something he wouldn't forget - and that was spells.

" You mean... Hunos Invisibly Cardser II .... the Grand Sorceror of UNO!!! I remember his techniques.... Magical one's anyway, I think he sucked otherwise--- ah!!! "

Eiden grabs his head like the sounds have overcome him, dropping to his knees. It's his own sound and yet...

" What's this... my ears.....!!!! "

dark organza what-now? uh, baffling as the name is, at least eiden isn't dishing out literal magic, unlike yuri's last co-star. now that was a disaster-- an entertaining disaster for sure, but they should avoid blowing up the stage if they can help it.

falling to one knee with a show of grit teeth, he follows the spell's logical(?) interpretation and presses his palms against his ears, as if muffling a deafening alarm.

after a tense moment of silence (hell, add another for twice the dramatic flair), yuri snarls up at the man, "typical. i knew you'd resort to cheap tricks--" there's a loud clack of his plastic armor as he points a righteous, accusatory finger "--but i came prepared! remember that holy wizard you ghosted a millennia ago after a wild night out together? yeah, well, he was more than happy to play a part in your downfall! get counter-spelled by my Divine Uno Reverse Card!"

but he doesn't actually have anything to pull out, so...

"...my invisible Divine Uno Reverse Card!!"

[kleinstar]

I think as a hero you should sorta care about those villages thoughhhhhhhh Yuriiiii----never even mind the fartlines Eiden dug his own grave there and he knows as much. Yuri does give him a genuine surprise with that quick attack though.

" Aaaaaaghhh!! "

Eiden lets his knees buckle down a little as he holds his head where the horns would normally ...dangle. He displays a struggle in rising up again but does nonetheless.

" My precious horns.... " he groans as his hand extends forward, fingers spreading for an incoming spell, face now growing colder.

" Eat this --- DARK ORGANZA MYSTERIA ALARM!!! "

Yeah Yuri. You'll just have to figure out what that even means!

what the-- beans? that's what eiden decided to throw in there? is he trying to deflect from his cape screw-up by making yuri's character look like an idiot?

but the show must go on... he falters for the briefest of moments before bouncing back with a verbal parry, "a worthy attempt, demon lord, but your cheap backtalk won't work on me! as the prophecies foretold... whoever smelt it, dealt it!" (what the hell am i even saying anymore...).

"now, spare me the boring prattle. one burnt village, a thousand... makes no difference to me!" he flicks his sword up into the air -- quite dramatically, mind you -- and catches it by the handle once more, this time as if he's readying a javelin. "i'll give ya three seconds before you can kiss that left horn goodbye!"

"ooone..." his sights narrow, tongue poking between his lips, then... "twothree!!" the wooden sword zooms across the stage, knocking the horn neatly off eiden's head!

er, both horns, actually. yuri forgot it's a headband (maybe the audience won't notice?).

[kleinstar]

Ah Yuri??? Wasn't the character supposed to be a bit of a two goody-shoes --- oh well... he can still work with this.

" Scum? You hurt me... Your father ran here on his own y'know... prophecies or something -- a burnt village or two ..."

" ...or thousand? Gahaha! Who counts those? Weaklings come in big numbers after all.... "

The laugh resounds in the hall bouncing off the walls as Eiden moves his leg upwards and then down as he stands up dramatically flashing the cape -- only for it to get stuck in the ornament of the throne. Shit.

" Coming here... did you truly think I'd give in? "

He tears the fabric off it but it's all too loud ignore. With a raised eyebrow eiden dabs the cape over his nose for a bit.

" ....my, have you eaten beans today, hero? Are you sure you should be here in such a state? "

yuri wouldn't call himself an actor by any stretch, but he's got a knack for it. stage fright's a foreign concept to the guy, and a fake fight can be just as fun as the real deal!

plus, he's doing it with one of his closest pals! sure, he's having a hard time keeping up with all these whack-job names (if one can even consider them as such), but the set-up's easy enough to play off of.

...and there's yuri's cue! the swordsman -- dressed in cliche foam armor -- steps forward, his wooden sword pointed straight at his seated co-star, unwavering.

"you're damn right i did-- those bogus lackeys never stood a chance against my blade!" face set in a look of pure, unadulterated fury, he shifts into a battle-ready stance, tone lowering to a sharp degree, "your reign of terror ends here, demon lord! for my father, yurificforus... for my kingdom... surrender now 'n i'll make your death a quick one! although, that'd be far less than scum like you deserves!"

whoops. he's supposed to be a valiant hero, isn't he..? those types are always so boring, though.
