dmc crew dating a vampire 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

devil may cry x reader

┊ ˚➶ notes ｡˚ 🎼

this was actually my first request on this blog!! i don’t know why i put it off for so long bc it’s literally so cool?? i ended up just doing a vampire instead of witch/vampire witch so i hope you guys enjoy considering my phone crashed trying to copy n paste this from my notes to tumblr 💋

┊ ˚➶ warnings ｡˚ 🎼

blood (but in the vampire way ykyk), fangs and mentions of sharp teeth, intended lowercase, kinda spoilers for dmc5 in v’s,

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓓ANTE — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

❥ you are literally so hot in DANTE’s eyes, you could honestly do no wrong.

❥ i think you guys already know what i’m gonna say..

❥ if you feed on blood or need it for some sort of sustenance, dante will gladly volunteer. he thinks it’s the hottest thing ever.

❥ although, i’m not sure if vampires much like demon blood..

❥ eh, oh well. dante will still think it’s attractive, especially if you have fangs or some sort of sharper canines.

❥ only downside to being a vampire and dating dante is that you’ll occasionally hear a super bad transylvanian accent. like.. really bad.

❥ but!! if you’re also a demon hunter like him— and you have some cool freaky powers like draining blood or energy from empusas or really just any ability that’s useful, it’s heart eyes all around from him.

❥ you could be covered in blood or feasting on something and then you’ll spot dante in the corner wielding devil sword dante after defeating like seventy fuckin other demons and he’s just.. mesmerized.

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈ ｡ﾟ

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓥ERGIL — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

❥ VERGIL’s much more curious about your species. do you have any weaknesses? are the fictionalized versions of your kind portrayed accurately? what are you exactly?

❥ luckily he’s a lot more quiet about his curiosity compared to, maybe— nico. his staring is intimidating, though. when he sits with you or near you, he’ll usually just study you. maybe it looks like he’s judging but he’s really just analyzing your appearance. especially if you have any distinctive features.

❥ if you have that dark ruddy aesthetic, he’ll likely admire from afar even if red isn’t exactly his favorite color.

❥ if you really needed it, he’d let you feed off of him although it’s definitely not his first choice. he’s not really a fan of being bitten, especially if you need to bite his neck or something like that.

❥ probably finds some esoteric artistic poem or painting with an underlying meaning of having to do with vampires and thinks of you every time he looks at it.

❥ his gothic poetic side is showing

❥ ugh i just wanna kiss his scowl so bad but i also wanna punch him.

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈ ｡ﾟ

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓝ERO — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

❥ nero literally thinks it’s so cool.

❥ he might be a little wary once he first meets you? like are you gonna tackle him rn and sacrifice him with your own lil blood ritual?

❥ but once he finds out you’re docile or that you pick and choose on whom you feed on, he’s like, “oh okay that’s cool”

❥ probably like dante where the only version he knows of vampires are the hollywood adaptations of them. so like.. he’s confused if you can go into sunlight? or you can eat certain foods? or if you can go near churches??

❥ he, too, thinks you’re super hot. however!! very iffy about you drinking blood or feeding in front of him. not like it grosses him out but it’s kinda.. weird to watch for him?? idk.

❥ another thing is that he doesn’t want you biting him at all. he’s like vergil where he’ll be baffled if you even ask, except he’s super hesitant to offer himself unless you’re super injured and in dire need of it.

❥ just step on him to shut him up atp

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈ ｡ﾟ

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓥 — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

❥ V’s goth ass won’t shut up about how divine your species is and how fascinating he finds you.

❥ curious on your feeding habits and what you essentially need to survive, tries to find any and every book that he can about vampires so he can learn about you even more.

❥ he’s like those people who romanticize the 1800s or the salem witch trials or greece or ethel cain or lana del rey while kicking their feet and posting about it. he will find a way to make the situation poetic, trust me.

❥ finds it amusing if you’re annoyed by griffon’s teasing and threaten to eat him first if you were to ever go rogue, you might even be able to get a close mouthed chuckle out of v.

❥ utterly fascinated by just your very being, even if it’s just mundane traits. especially loves to see your fangs, dunno why but they’re just aesthetically pleasing to him.

❥ considering he’s kinda like a deteriorating human that’s basically turning into a husk, i wouldn’t recommend feeding on him unless you plan to kill him—which who would wanna murder our emo bae right here? (capcom)

❥ the type of person to roll his eyes at false folklore and representation because he’s literally in love with an actual vampire?? how dare they portray you like this??

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈ ｡ﾟ

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓛ADY — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

❥ LADY also finds you super hot!!

❥ also interested because she’s probably never seen a vampire outside of media— so it’s a nice change of pace rather than being face to face with demons all day.

❥ despite all this, after the initial introduction, i’m not sure she’d care too hard? like— sure, you’re considered a supernatural being and all that.

❥ and although she thinks it’s super dope, i feel like it wouldn’t matter as much to her. she’s seen and done a lot of things at such a young age, i feel as though she’s almost desensitized?

❥ she’s so badass she can’t even care. she’s literally respected by dante, whom is titled ‘the legendary devil hunter’. (dmc5 did her dirty with her lack of part in the storyline 💔)

❥ she’ll respect any of your needs, and ngl also thinks you biting into her neck is hot.

❥ kinda surprised that you’re able to go out into sunlight even if she’ll never tell you that 😭

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈ ｡ﾟ

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓣RISH — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

❥ another one who doesn’t care that much. it’s not like TRISH is dismissive of your species and where you come from, but she’s literally a full on demon who’s probably seen everything.

❥ you guys r so hot though, like the ultimate power couple.

❥ oh, and if you’re a devil hunter, too? you guys r gonna kick sm ass together. she’ll invite you to roll around with her for a while rather than with dante, although if you’re associated with devil may cry then that’s fine too. she’ll put up with dante’s ass just to visit you more often.

❥ i don’t recommend feeding off of trish?

❥ idk how vampires take to drinking demon blood

❥ but shit, if you have that red aesthetic and are just a total femme fatale (or other gender equivalent to that), trish is in charge of your outfits now.

❥ don’t even fight it, you will end up in the outfit regardless.

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈ ｡ﾟ

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓝ICO — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

❥ oh boy

❥ if you’re lucky enough to survive the first meeting with NICO and you end up actually being in a relationship? you are def a trooper.

❥ when you’re first introduced, she bombards you with questions.

❥ where did you come from? do you have powers? are you like a demon and are there more of you? if so, can she harvest parts for a new bio-weapon? do vampires reproduce the same as humans? are you gonna suck her blood??

❥ she’s just a curious lady cut my girl some slack

❥ she thinks you’re so cool though!! wants you to tell her everything you know about vampires so she can log it. even if you’ve been in a long term relationship, she still can’t help but ask more questions.

❥ but!! as cool and hot as she thinks you are— like nero, she does not wanna see you feed and does not wanna be fed on!! (except.. maybe just one time to see how it feels.)

❥ ugh she just loves you sm please indulge her

im sorry in advance bcs i know going to someone's blog and ask abt someone else is maybe a not so appropriate thing to do but im so freak out rn, do you know where did @esoteric-nico blog go ? Is it deleted 😭? Do they have any another socials to keep up with ?

your blog and Nico is like one of the few spirituality blog that i really like and follow on tumblr & i know that u guys are close and this is like...the only clue i have...im so desperate

Hello! Yeah something is wrong w Tumblr and they dinged Nico's shit for literally no reason. They're working on try to get their blog back and are likely to be opening an additional blog on a whole other site to prevent this. If anyone needs to reach them, the best way to catch them is through email: esoteric-nico@hotmail.com, patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nicolionheart is also another space to find them!

hey guys, does anyone know what happened to the astrology blog esoteric-nico? i was searching for it today and it straight up dissapeared...

[calyxthenerd]

Going to go into the character’s family background headcanons because yes

So, of course Luna and Ámbar’s, and Nina’s families don’t have that much leeway for headcanons so I’m just going to skip those

Now Simón, for me, his extended family is big, he has no siblings but lots of cousins, and they all live together in the family’s property a few hours outside of Cancún, but Simón ended up renting an apartment in the city at some point, and also, his and most his cousins’ parents had very demanding jobs with little pay, cleaning, floor level costumer service, etc, so they ended up spending all their time not in school with their grandmother, Carmen, a strict, but caring woman who was a retired teacher and taught them everything, from the work they didn’t understand from school, to life lessons and useful skills, like cleaning a house, survival in the wild (she had a crazy youth) and cooking

Then we have Matteo (+ Gastón) now, I’m not certain if it’s in my head or not, but I’m pretty sure at some point someone mentions offhandedly that Matteo’s mom died, maybe that’s just me, because if it didn’t happen, it’s one of my headcanons, she died (I’m not sure how yet) when Matteo was a kid and his dad German Castilloed it, constantly moving around, until Matteo’s high school years started, then he had to build the base for him to follow his own footsteps, which was when he met Gastón, who had everything he ever dreamed, loving parents, a permanent home, the works, and they became fast friends when Gastón saw him and was like “Geez, what a jerk, I need to stick with him to stop him from getting his ass kicked” and then every time his dad forgot he existed or was traveling, he ran off to the Peridas

Now, the separate paragraph for Gastón because he deserves it, this is somewhat inspired by the lovely @countessofravenclaw’s hcs because they just Get It, so, his passion for photography comes from his dad, who’s a local celebrity on this business, and his mom is a renowned biology professor, so yeah, both really hardworking people, but also huge nerds for their areas, who could not stop themselves from rambling about it to their kid, who sucked in all the knowledge like a sponge and became a huge nerd too, and since his mom was the first one on her family to get herself through college, they constantly enforced the value of education on to him, making him get the third best marks on his grade, only losing to Matteo with his daddy issues and Little Miss Perfect Ámbar

Next we have Nico and Pedro, yes, together, now, I’m a firm believer that Nico has two moms and that’s why he dresses like a lesbian, and you might be asking, where does Pedro come in? Well, to me, he’s in the foster care system, so he circled around a few homes, both good and bad, until he ended up with them at 14, getting officially adopted at 16, and also, both of their moms hate Gary but tolerate him because he’s his side of the family’s golden child, being rich, while Isadora, his sister and one of Nico and Pedro’s moms, runs an esoteric shop downtown and Luzia, their other mom, is the manager at the bar next door to it (yes I gave them names just to differentiate them)

Up next we have Delfi, whose parents run a very big tech corporation and the only reason they don’t have a child neglect case built against them it’s because Delfi and her younger brother, Leo, were raised by nannies

Now it’s Jazmin’s turn, now, I think her parents are celebrities, possibly models, who have stopped working when they had her, and spent her whole life with her, resulting in her being sheltered, and with their celebrity status, surrounded by media every time they left the house, making her internalize her love for cameras, her constant desire to have someone watching her and also her fear for what people think of her

Ramiro, for me, his parents are ballerinas, who moved to Argentina for better opportunities, anyways, they learned to dance in a super strict conservatory, making them super strict and him the way he is

Jim & Yam, their parents were those people in your high school that could never be seen apart, being friends since kindergarden and all, so they ended up having kids between them (artificially, so the girls aren’t related) and raising them together, and that’s how they became the dynamic duo they are today!

And lastly, Emilia, the queen of my heart, her parents were judgmental bitches and cared more about how they looked than about her, her entire life it was always like “Mom I got the highest grade in my class” “okay, and?” or “Daddy, I hurt my knee!!” “Get up, Emilia, you’re making a scene!” “My date bailed on me!!” “That’s what you get for going out with boys instead of studying like you should” and the worst one was “Mom, dad, I like girls” “Get out of my house” “But mom-“ “I said OUT!” And that’s when she packed her bags and moved in with her older brother and his wife, on the other side of town, transitioning into the person we met, a few months before she appeared on the show

my original rinpression was wow into blue water leaves such lovely ao3 comments 🥹🥹🥹 also december Rin? incomprehensible esoteric way of speaking.... I genuinely didn't know what u were saying every 5 words and needed to pick up on 20 trains of thought to be on the same level

and my current is I eated him😁 pretends to know too many pop culture references 🙄 extremely whip smart, can conjure distinct, unique vibes in a matter of minutes. easily adaptable. to catch a vibe is one thing, to bounce off one is another skill entirely and you're defy at it. genuinely fun..... I care him deeply 🥹 Needs to stop explaining king Lear [redacted] to unsuspecting people

Putting on Hairs: Post Production - ɐun˥

Primary Pairing Trio: YuuAyuSetsu Words: 599 Rating: G? AU: Monsters, Cryptids, Eldritch beings Prompt: Moon Content Warning: Spiders and beheadings

---------

Author's Note: Primary entry for the 28th

Summary: YuuAyuSetsu go shopping in a strange mall

---------

“Ooo… I'll bet Nico-chan would love this.” Yuu pointed to a poster on the wall.

“Maybe…” Setsuna inspected the werewolf being depicted. “It looks a lot like Ryo-san's hybrid form.”

“Those two have been on better terms as of late.” Ayumu commented.

Setsuna had brought her girlfriends to the eldritch mall in a pocket dimension access through clipped back alleys of Tokyo. Once they had visited various shops, they would hit the grocery store last so Setsuna could buy ingredients for another batch of ʍǝʇs ʞɐʇuɐɥs.

The trio was currently wandering through a shop, ɐun˥, which carried merchandise themed around the moon. Yuu inisited they explore this store first since Ayumu was a moon rabbit and would certainly like the items for sale within. And she had been right.

The store was filled with many examples of the obvious, like the werewolf posters Yuu had just found. Or the mobile made with various species of moths. Books about the moon landing humans had accomplished.

And then there were the more esoteric examples, like all the other craft that had landed on the moon, in a manner by which the general populace of Earth remained completely unaware. A wonderfully detailed stature of Tecciztecatl. A lovely painting of Mawu and Lisa. Or things like…

“Oh, the head of Rahu.” Ayumu spotted something on a nearby shelf.

Yuu turned and immediately blanched. “What’s a severed head have to do with the moon?”

“Legend has it he tried to drink nectar that would make him immortal, so Vishnu decapitated him.” Ayumu explained. “Since then, he chases the sun and moon around the sky and swallows them. However, they just slip out of his throat and return.”

“Huh…”

“He’s just one of many examples of deities that devore the sun and moon in order to account for their periodic disappearance from the sky.”

“So… this is replica… right?”

“Probably.”

“You’re very knowledgeable about these things, Ayumu-san.” Setsuna said excitedly. “Is it because you’re a moon rabbit?”

“Sort of.” Ayumu replied. “Though I was not born on the moon myself, my grandparents have told me many stories of their time there. And their house was filled with many things like what is being sold here.”

“Ne, Ayumu-san, Yuu-san, isn’t this one pretty?” Setsuna held out a crystal.

“Yes.” Ayumu confirmed. “And extremely rare.”

“Rare?” Yuu leaned in to inspect the crystal Setsuna was holding. “It looks pretty normal to me.”

“Most moon spiders are grey in color.”

“Spider?!” Yuu backed away.

“Mm.” Ayumu reached over and gently touched the rock. “It’s alright, little one.” She cooed. “You can show yourself.”

Slowly, legs and pinchers began to take form, and after a few moments, a spider-like creature was standing in Setsuna’s hands.

“Aww, aren’t you a cutie.” Ayumu stroked the creature’s carapace.

“That’s… awesome…” Setsuna marveled.

“Find something you like?” A moon-beast wearing an apron with the shop’s logo on it entered the aisle.

“I think so…?” Yuu ventured.

The eyeless being examined Ayumu for a moment. “I assume one such as yourself knows how to care for such creatures.”

“Mm.” Ayumu nodded.

“We have terrariums in the next aisle over. Let me know if there is anything else you need for it.”

“Thank you.”

“Do you think Sasuke-san will like having a companion?” Setsuna asked before giggling at the sensation caused by the spider crawling up her arm to perch on her shoulder.

“I think we may have to worry more about Yuu-chan.”

“I’ll… be fine… maybe.” Yuu assured. “Let’s go find a suitable terrarium.”

And that was how the trio’s apartment gained another pet.

---------

Author's Note Continued: Oh man did I have fun writing this one. So~ many tabs open about monsters associated with the moon. And so~ many ideas that I had to cut to fit the event's character limit.

But yeah, the PoH AU YuuAyuSetsu apartment has a new pet. And now I need to name it... and gods only know how many tabs I will open to do that...

Also, Crystal was the prompt from '21 and Carapace was from '22.

[krakendm]

I want to recommend a story I just finished reading. Specifically I want to highlight its worldbuilding (as this blog more d&d focused), but the whole damn thing is great! Ilhen's Seventh Deathtrap (link below) is a masterpiece of modern sword and sorcery, and while it’s big strength is it’s characters, the glimpses of the wider world are tantalizing.

It has fairly classic sword and sorcery magic, which if you’re not familiar- basically magic has some cost, which can be fatal. Magic is also rare, highly valued, but the cost dissuades most people. This is a stark difference from traditional D&D wizardry, or Vancian magic (from Jack Vance’s Dying Earth series), but can help us as world designers to give additional magic to NPCs. Ilhen's Seventh Deathtrap has a lot of different disciplines, some of which we see and are familiar, like illusion magic or divination, and some that we don’t see like glaciomancy and lithomancy. Magic itself is gained from going to a spire and talking to a god (I’m summarizing a bunch but it gets discussed in depth in the novel. RAFO). This magic is strong but specialized- which is perfect for an enemy or npc.

It gives us as worldbuilders a connection from “angry ice mage, wants to kill party” to a spire where this magic is taught. We can go from a generic npc wizard to where they were taught, why they only cast x or y element spells, and why the party’s wizard (or other magic user) can or cannot learn this method of casting. It also helps us give a unique “class” that players can’t access but could have exotic spells that they can learn. To continue with the example of the angry ice mage- maybe they’re a high challenge enemy but we lack good spells that really fit “ice mage”. Well a high level glaciomancer would be able to control ice, or summon a glacier, or speak a word of power and freeze their foes. While we don’t have spells written out, we can adapt the classic spells from d&d and either reflavor them or adjust their power. Power Word Stun, an 8th level enchantment could become Power Word Freeze, a 7th level spell that does pretty much the same thing but freezes them for 1d4 rounds (or something, I’m not trying to balance a spell that will only be used by enemies, I am trying to run combat not write a book).

Additionally most spires are known, but there are some hidden ones that may be protected by death traps, or dungeons as we would call them. While I’m not going to go as in depth about dungeons as I went about magic, I will say that Ilhen's Seventh Deathtrap is about dungeons and has a good explanation of why people build dungeons, and how they go about it. It’s not the first book to feature the idea of dungeon makers, but it does talk about what kinds of death traps are made and has a bunch of examples of puzzles that you can steal.

Anyway to sum up this post- you should read Ilhen's Seventh Deathtrap. It’s FREE, about 260 pages long, has good worldbuilding, and amazing characters.

Also it’s not a litRPG which is nice cause a ton of modern fantasy (that I find at least) is plagued by numbers and stats.

Every time I get delusional about Bang Chan I read a few posts (this post in particular) that esoteric nico has written to remind me that I could never survive as Bang Chan's partner :/

Also I remind myself that I'm taller than him in heels and I wear heels all the time so...

The Idol Esoteric

Maki entered the clubroom. Rin was snoring. Nico stood at the whiteboard, marker in hand, underlining The Idol Esoteric. Maki giggled. Nico had been looking at a dictionary. Hanayo sat forward, bouncing slightly, eyes wide. Nico’s smile brightened as she spun to blow Maki a kiss. Before Maki could reply, the club door slammed open behind her, and Umi rushed in..

“Oh good, Umi, you got Nico’s text.”

Umi pushed past Maki, erasing the board with one hand, taking Nico’s marker with the other

“NO!”

“What the…why you…” Nico’s hands grabbed for the marker as Umi dodged.

Maki intervened.

“What’s going on?”

“Yeah.” Nico, hands on Makl’s waist, peeked out, “What is going on?”

“This is shameless, Nico, shameless. I can’t believe it of you. You…” Umi paused, her face scrunching up, “IDOLIZE idols.” “Vocabulary, Umi.” Nico giggled.

“My vocabulary is good.”

“Word variety is good. It's in the presentation.” Nico winked.

Maki was impressed that her girlfriend took the time for that while Umi deathglared.

Umi shook the super Idol silly.

“THERE WILL BE NO PRESENTATION.”

Umi and Nico’s faces were too close together.

Maki’s fists clenched. “PUT NICO DOWN.”

Now Rin woke up, yawning. “What’s going on?”

Hanayo caught her up, “Umi’s killing Nico, Maki’s going to kill Umi… Something about Nico’s presentation, The Idol Eso…”

Umi had her hand over Hanayo’s mouth, “Don’t say it.”

“HEY, HANDS OFF KAYO-CHiN.” Rin was on Umi’s back, about to bite down.

“It’s shameless.”

A lightbulb went off over Nico’s head, she pulled out her phone and typed.

“Hold her still, Maki-chan and Rin.”

Exchanging puzzled looks, they kept Umi restrained.

“IT’S NOT THE WORD YOU THINK.” Nico shoved her phone into Umi’s face. She stopped fighting and read.

“Oh.” Umi sagged.

“Let her go.”

“What’s going on, Nico-chan?” Maki stepped back.

“I’ll be leaving now.” Umi bowed.”My apologies, Nico. Hanayo. Please continue.”

Umi slunk out.

“Nico is tired. Nico’s presentation is cancelled." Nico collapsed into her seat.

“What was that about, Nico-chan?” Maki glared at Nico.

Nico sighed.

“Nico will tell you when you’re older.”

“Nico-chan!!!”

“Nico is napping. Go away. Nico loves you.”

Hanayo watched Nico, head down, grumbling 10,000 words a minute.

Hanayo put one arm through Rin’s, the other hand steering Maki’s elbow. “Let’s let Nico rest.”

Nico raised her phone. “Nico Nico Ni” flashing in neon pink kanji across the screen.

“Nico-chan.”

“Later, Maki.” Hanayo urged.

“Have a good day, girls.” Nico singsonged, like some possessed horror movie parent.

“I’m scared.” Rin shivered.

“See you later, Nico-chan.” Maki whispered.

A grunt. And then Hanayo had them safely in the hall.

“She’ll be fine?” Maki worried.

“She’ll be fine.”

“Yeah.”

Hanayo had a sudden mischievous gleam, “Rin, let’s go tell Nozomi what Umi just did.”

“Really?” Maki raised an eyebrow.

“Really.”

[lethalbutterfly]

@yonemurishiroku oh yeah so Will wanted to prove a point about superstition and Ostracization.

Nico's powers are Deathly. But that doesn't make them bad or even unsettling per se. They're a tool, like a knife. Is a knife evil?

And Death certainly has its place in the operating room! I don't mean that hospitals are places where people go to die, I mean that they are places where death is leveraged to save lives! It's a place where we go to kill bacteria, viruses, and parasites. What is Cancer if not an overabundance of growth and life? Nico's powers can bring measured death. He can Sterilize tools with a touch, better than rubbing alcohol or uv light. Maybe when Nico cleans a wound, it comes out cleaner. With training maybe he could even place his hand on someone and send their infection straight to Hades without ever needing to touch a course of antibiotics-- which are, after all, poison to germs. (interestingly enough the word pharmacy is derived from the greek Pharmakon, which could mean "poison" or "cure" depending on the context it's used in. Poison and cure sharing an identity I think symbolically speaks to Will and Nico's relationship. Either one of them can be dangerous or just what you need, depending on the context. Two sides of the same coin.)

But the point is that sanitization is about death, and it's also about cleanliness and health, when applied in the right way. Nico's energy can be healing too, and I think Will wasn't thinking in such esoteric terms, but I do think that he wanted to show Nico that he was more than just a bad omen, that he could be appreciated just like any other person. I think he wanted to maybe expand Nico's mindset, even if only a little.

What belief did Will Solace have to be so adamant in asking a son of Hades for help in the infirmary anyway? What were you trying to do?
