Yeah I couldn't stay away for long

HELLO FRIENDS, MAGI AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN, YOUR RIKI HAS RETURNED! And with him is the same grumpy Vergil who doesn't hate everyone as much as he looks like he does, complete with memories from last time. I've had enough of an RP hiatus And missed this game too much, so this guy will be coming in after all those crazy shenanigans from March. I'm still not sure if this is the best or worst timing.

And for anyone I haven't met yet, HELLO I AM A RIKI. I return from a hiatus with Vergil from a little known game called Devil May Cry, which features Vergil's more bombastic and red-clad brother, Dante. He's the less social twin who focuses more on being the cold, serious one who wants to become super powerful...which is exactly what he wished for! You know what happens when you make vague wishes brimming with selfishness?

It's called Buyer's Remorse. This is the case with Vergil, whose passive ability gives him power based on being around people he likes. And the more he likes them, the more powerful he gets. His active ability is a bit more manageable since he can summon weapons out of nothing. Cool, right? Even cooler is when sharing those weapons with people, they a cut of the power from Vergil's passive ability. It's a real shame he tries to be a lone wolf all the time; it's like his powers work against his personality or something!

But when he's not being a jerk or a nightmare hunter, he's being a chef at a shitty restaurant he helped make less shitty. Whether or not it went back to being shitty while he was gone is up for debate, but he can still cook you some damn nice food either way. Being anti-social doesn't mean he doesn't take pride in serving good food, even to strangers. It helps that he picked up Food Empathy abilities last time he was here, shhh

Anyway, that's all I've got. Feel free to add me on plurk at rikimaruhitori or hit me up on AIM at sonichero91. Here's to more magi shenanigans! <3

HI SHIKKI

WE MAY NEED TO DISCUSS POST-VALENTINE'S THING SINCE LAST TIME THESE TWO MET

IT WAS KINDA BAD

BY WHICH I MEAN REALLY BAD

WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT HOW BAD

[miasmajesty]

SUPER DUPER BAD

i actually had an emergency hiatus due to moving + insane amounts of rl junk happening at all once, so i've been going with the idea that vergil probably trounced dirk so bad he needed the month+ to recover. IFV THIS IS COOL WITH YOU I CAN CONTINUE ROLLING WITH IT + TOSS HIM BACK INTO PLAY if not then I can def figure something out.

[mightmakesright]

HONESTLY, I COULD ROLL WITH THAT. Given the brainwashing and the emotional hurricane at the time, it's easy to say he lost his shit, kicked Dirk's ass and then just...vanished. He probably hasn't been seen since that fight, so it's gonna be one Hell of a transition from that to just

rain.

Rain is easier to deal with, even if it super floods.

[miasmajesty]

RAIN IS MUCH NICER

they can have an awkward conversation like

hey sorry i tried to murder you

s'ok, sorry i beat your face in

cool

cool

awkward silence

[mightmakesright]

Just the briefest of apologies and then like, slowly shuffling away from each other.

Silent agreement to never speak about that incident again.

Sad thing is that's still an improvement? Vergil wouldn't normally apologize for hurting others, but

This time was weird, this city is weird, magi are weird, maybe he'll just find that weird cat and slice it in two.

[miasmajesty]

w/e be dirk's friend and teach him how to be real people cool ok

he's used to not talking about crippling emotional disasters

[mightmakesright]

WHAT DO YOU KNOW, VERGIL'S USED TO THAT, TOO

Let's bond over that by notbringingitupeverokayhereillteachyouhowtobeabadasswarrior
