@serandipity | @agloryofuniicorns [My alarm went off boys--]

Despite Akira's attempt to disappear from Victor's reach, this doesn't stop the stupid haxxor nonsense of Chromatus. Thus, right on time, Victor teleports into the room.

"You've got a stabbing to get to."

In an instant, both Akira and Victor both teleport to Akechi's current location. Although in that time, Akira's hands and legs are stuck together by some strange force.

"Alright Akechi-san, go stab this idiot till he fixes things or whatever," Also as promised, Victor lays out an assorted of over 100 knives, all different lengths and sharpness. "I'll just watch the show. Speak up if you need me," Popcorn's ready, let's see some suffering.

For the one apparently throwing a tantrum, he's not the one who's tossing knives. The one aimed at his feet is backstepped, but the other does nail his blade and sends it flying. Nobody lets him have fun these days. It's so rude.

"I'll certainly drown someone in a river, but it won't be one made of my tears," Victor huffs and stalks off. "I'll stab you later, Julius."

"Um, see you later, Victor," Julius won't poke the bear before he gets mauled. "Now that he's gone, I didn't think you'd defend me like that. Thank you."

Seems like he'll have to fight, how troublesome. "Why, because you're a full grown man throwing a little baby tantrum. Go cry a river and drown in it-" Victor isn't the only one with a knife, though his are thrown in with quick precision, one aimed at the wrist and one at the feet.

"Say your prayers now young man ( @serandipity ), because I always keep my word."

Meanwhile, back at Apartment 302. . .

"Hey Victor, do you know where that last bottle of Anti-Horny Spray went? Nii-san says I forgot to apply today's dosage so the evils of the world don't taint my goodness or whatever."

"As if I'd root through your tainted cabinets. Just lie and say you used the last drop today; I'll get Zig to make a replacement by tomorrow."

"If you say so..." And thus Ludger will spray a little water onto himself and brave the evil, awful place of Marksburg's open produce market.

[ofstarsandskies]

"The better question is what didn't he do," Since listening will make Nii-san suffer more, he'll do it with glee, "He murdered Ludger's mother, took Ludger in out of guilt but partially to siphon his Chromatus' power, rigged Ludger's Spirius entrance exam to make it impossible to pass, hid the fact he was dying for years, and in my world specifically, he and the others wanted me to sacrifice my daughter to the Prime Dimension. And it's all true, right Julius?"

"...I changed my mind about the 2nd part after a few years, but the rest is all indeed true."

... ... ... One word: Therapy.

❛  What did he even do?  ❜

[ofstarsandskies]

"Perhaps that'd be best outcome-- Zaveid would finally have company he can relate to. Keep the low thinkers both in one place so no trouble arises."

❛  He does, doesn't he? Hopeless. Hobo: Hopeless Meebo. He'd definitely live like a hobo in that locker, I suppose.  ❜

[ofstarsandskies]

"As long as you understand," Victor doesn't fuss further and enjoys his tea and freshly baked bread. Though for a brief moment he thinks about texting Yuri to test if he did keep that ringtone. But that meant Yuri having his number and only family's allowed to have that. And even in that variety, he's blocked all but two numbers.

Maybe when Elle gets home he'll give hers a try and ask Ludger if he heard it at the bar.

"I'm suuuper fun in conversations!"

"I'll take back the whiny part though. Go, be free. Whoosh."

[ofstarsandskies]

"I'm not into masochism, so no. And it's Julius-- he deserves every second of it and he knows it." The big boy knife's coming out--!

"How about- I kick your head in- does that count as enough suffering?"

[ofstarsandskies]

As Victor foretold, Julius doesn't even flinch as Edna takes up her umbrella to stab him. When she does, he recoils and falls to his knees, yet he's smiling in the most broken way.

"Ha, I deserved that-- I just cause him trouble."

"See, what did I tell you-- he just takes it as long as you invoke Ludger's name. Plus if you like suffering, he gets so upset too; it's the gift that keeps on giving."

She doesn't get it, but okay.

❛  This is for making Lurin suffer due to your mistakes.  ❜

She will now proceed to stab Julippy in the stomach, pretending he is Meebo, which is 50% less painful than a stab for Zaveid. It's so pitiful, she doesn't have the heart to use full power. He got lucky there.

[ofstarsandskies]

Kids these days have some nerve. Here he thought Elle's rebellious phase would be the end of his troubles.

"Fine. I'll go stab Julius until he suffers enough for my amusement then."

"What did I do to get thrown under the bus..."

2 years is how long he's been alive, so that is plenty difference.

"No." And Sync is snickering slightly.

[ofstarsandskies]

"As long as you say it's for making Ludger suffer due to his mistakes, he'll ask for it every single time. It's easy-- give it a try."

What is he, a circus animal...? "What am I doing to get bullied this much?"

That's such a pitiful reply, it's downright depressing. It's 'stab,' not 'sad.'

❛  I'll pass. If you're this willing to be stabbed, then there's no fun in it. I could still stab you if you want, though. I'm benevolent enough to bless you with that much. ❜

[ofstarsandskies]

"Give me details, I never tire of watching the pain of others."

Oh look, his third favorite thing in the whole world.

Asch Suffering.

[ofstarsandskies]

That's the trick captain: he's always trigger stabby. "Looking to stab Julius too? It's rather cathartic, and he has so much self-loathing he doesn't fight back."

It hurts because it's true. "I'd fight back if it wasn't you, you know..."

Why is Victor so trigger stabby today? If it's not roasting Julippy, then it's stabbing him. Is he that fun to stab? Is it like when she stabs Dumbveid???
