MESSAGE: you. me. date. to the monkey thing. before you ask, it has booze and locals who talk back.

[anoint]

[ Wow, Caroline, what are you? Granted, you finished strongly with the mention of locals who talk. ]

A date.

[newblood]

uh, it's not like i can go to a party without one. [ duh. ]

people don't go to parties by themselves. that's lame and suspicious.

[anoint]

[ Still hung up on the word "date" because what is that even. ]

You do realize that anything this city offers us is most likely a trap.

[newblood]

exactly why i'm going. [ lies. She's going because of the alcohol and dancing. ]

don't tell me to stay back at the ranch. i can defend myself.

[anoint]

Caroline, we both know that's not why you're going.

[ He doesn't argue her second point. In truth, Vergil is a little curious. (But then again, when isn't he?) ]

CONTACT: scarlet.jacobs@compass.net
MESSAGE: Where the hell have you been?

[Because she searched for you, asshole. After a minute or so of hesitating, she sends another message.]

Are you okay?

[anoint]

[ So the name SCARLET JACOBS in his inbox is certainly a new one, though it's easy for Vergil to put two and two together to make four as soon as he opens the message. While part of him is surprised, the rest of him isn't. He was just about to message Shinobu anyway. ]

Shinobu.
I was just about to contact you.

[ And yes, that is totally a nonanswer because he doesn't have an actual response for the question. ]

[rippedoff]

[It takes her another few minutes to answer, because yeah, Vergil's nonanswer really kind of pissed her off a little. At the very least, she was thankful that she went the e-mailing route of things, because it gave her time to cool down and write a not passive-aggressive reply.]

Saved you the trouble, I guess.
But what's the deal with you? Are you okay or not?

[Don't make her track you down.]

[anoint]

[ If there's a sentence that Vergil doesn't enjoy using it's, without question, I don't know. Given the change in weather and the fact that the local newspaper reads "APRIL" as the date, it's obvious that Vergil's lost some time. Not exactly the best realization to return to, especially not after having spent the past ten years of his life making up for a memory-wiped childhood.

(Needless to say, Vergil hates missing time. Not that he's about to confess that to any one.) ]

My brother tells me you were on a ship for the past week or so.
Last I remember, we were still dealing with the Charon.

[ Again, a nonanswer but Vergil chases it eventually with a follow up. ]

But I'm fine.
You?
I heard you were all met with some opposition.
Nothing you couldn't handle, I imagine.

[rippedoff]

So you DID talk to him. Guess that saves that part of the nagging then.

He made a voice post and everything looking for you, you know. It's gotta be serious if he's not making a post about your sex life.

[Or lack of, but Shinobu will kindly refrain from specifics here.

But as for his question? She somehow got roped into a team game with Vriska, lost it, died, came back with a missing arm for a week, and then saw hallucinations of her dead father on top of all of that. She really wasn't at the top of her game here.

However, there was only one way she could respond.]

I'm fine.

And yeah, those fucked up things were probably the most fun part of the trip. At least they provided SOME kind of challenge.

Though if you feel sad about missing the trip, some people saw hallucinations. So at least you missed out on that.

[anoint]

"Talk" is a very generous way of saying he asked me where the fuck I've been and gave me a two sentence rundown of the past week.
But he made it out all right, and that's all that matters.
From what I hear, not everybody was as lucky.

Tell me about these hallucinations.

[ A beat passes between messages. ]

Were you worried about me, Shinobu?

(W11:D4) IT'S THAT TIME.

[rippedoff]

Hey loser.
Where are you?

[Oh yes, by this time, Shinobu is pretty intoxicated. However, even in this state, there was no way she was going to send any texts with typos. So she spent an embarrassing amount of time writing this.]

(W11:D4) HEY GIRLFRIEND *^*

[anoint]

[ Is this like that one time Dante stole his phone and changed all of the settings to Japanese (only for Dante to find out after the fact that Vergil speaks Japanese, therefore rendering the prank kind of useless)? ]

Shinobu?

(W11:D4) HEY GURL HEYYY

[rippedoff]

[Oh, if only you could hear the exasperated sigh she makes at the bar, Vergil. But she sends another text at an agonizingly slow speed, to correct every mistake she makes along the way.]

You suck at answering questions.

(W11:D4) JUDGING SO HARD RN

[anoint]

[ If there's one thing that Vergil notices it's that 1) Shinobu's acting weird (re: like Dante) and that 2) she's responding very. very. slowly. ]

You caught me off-guard.

(W11:D4) VERGIL PLS, YOU CLEARLY NEED TO LOOSEN UP TOO

[rippedoff]

[Oh my god, Vergil, you still haven't answered her question. So finally, Shinobu gives up on that and decides to get to the point.]

Well, if you're done being caught off-guard, you should come to the lounge.

[Because these people aren't as cool to talk to.]

(W11:D4) OMG POT KETTLE BLACK JUST BECAUSE HE'S NOT SMASHED

[anoint]

[ Oh. ...Oh. He gets what's going on now. ]

Are you drunk, Shinobu?

[fuckchild]

you heard of a girl named clary?

[anoint]

I haven't, but I'm listening.

[fuckchild]

she saw me take out rebellion, saw the mark on my back glow and all that.

she sounds like she might know something about those things. she called them runes.

[anoint]

[ A pause follows. ]

Human?
