odin, it is pucci
i assume you have returned from space and i am checking up, as it were
how are you, friend?
besides bad, which i assume is the simple answer

hey, yeah. I'm back. In all the great, infinite wisdom of the unknowable Odin Dark, I fucked up the escape pod we were projected back home from and ended up stranded in the ocean until the TV crew came to rescue me. I'm also staying with my friend, and it's great, but it sucks, because he's scared of dogs so I couldn't bring them with me and I miss them. I can't really complain about that, or about my dumb boy troubles though? I heard you lost an arm. I also heard everyone is fucking dying. So that blows.

i would not call such things 'dumb boy troubles,' as most boys do not get stranded in the ocean
i am sorry you cannot bring your dogs, i imagine that would be difficult
are you staying with them for their company? I assume your home is fine

yes, i am looking into ways to work with the problem
be it powers or prosthetic
an annoying trial, but hardly insurmountable

has anyone died? i know archie has been quite busy
i should check on magnus and lucretia, i haven't thought to

you wouldn't know. you're not a boy. YOU'RE AN OLD MAN. (How old are you, actually?) I'm staying with him for company, yeah. There's just, uh. Social minefields... at home. But also. I didn't realize the loss was permanent? Can I freak out? My vocabulary is varied and complex, a perfect companion for panicked shouting. I'm worried about how easily you're taking this. You're not doing that healer-y thing, right? "Everything's fine when it happens to me, but it sucks when it happens to other people!" or whatever. My mum was a healer. She would slap you in the face if you thought like that. Punk. I think so. I don't know. I haven't heard from Hot Magnus for a while, either... If you hear anything, let me know? I am in love with him.

i was a boy, once
i am 38, so i assume by your standards i am akin to the age of the ocean and it's timeless waves
also, odin, you are also not a boy

i see. have you considered staying somewhere your dogs may follow?
it may help ease your suffering and you certainly have many friends
i would offer my own dwelling but i am staying with dio and he has
issues with dogs

i would hardly want to insult your mother
you know i see all things as a trial, odin. this is simply another
pain is fleeting, and the difficulties that come with the loss of an arm are a chance to learn
i'm sure you're rolling your eyes by now, so stop that.

i will let him know when we next speak

I'm like a million years old and also the flesh-prison of an ageless demon cursed since the dawn of time to sleep for eternity dormant in an immortal human, so like. Nah. I forgot my point? Whatever. I'm not staying here for long... and my friend set up a room for me and everything. With a cool bed and stuff. I don't know, though. Maybe. Dio's still kind of a weird dude so I don't really wanna be near him too much if I can avoid it, also. Sorry. I'm not rolling my eyes, my dude. I'm kind of spooked out? It's a spooky thing to just look at your arm being gone and think, hey, such is life. Like you've got a disconnect with the present you in favor of a future one. But I also wish I was more like that. So. I dunno. Sorry. I just talked wicked shit about you and your God-friend.

odin, i am very concerned for you
i'd like to offer distraction, if i could
though i am uncertain as to what you may enjoy
going out perhaps? staying in with a movie or the like?
whatever the case i would be happy to
distraction and concern or not, i am glad you are back. i have missed you, my friend

as for the rest no need for apologies. i admit i find it unfortunate you feel this way about dio but i know he can be rather
intense
in a way most are not used to

that is an interesting way to put it
you know a great jaw of religion is 'banking in,' so to speak, good deeds and behavior for the promise of a kind afterlife
some religions even ignore the mortal life as a painful trial that merely delays the kind heaven ahead
do you believe in such things, odin? heaven and perdition?

Really? You're worried about me? Even with-- the trial? That you're going through? I don't... Is this your way of saying you need a distraction, too? I'd love to be that for you. I don't know what we can do, but - yeah, let's do something? Like. Word up, compadre. Let's get down to party town. Maybe I just need to get to know him better? It's not like I don't suffer the same pre-emptive judgment from nerd-ass fools who think it's bad to wax poetic about wanting to bathe in waterfalls of blood and sing a world-ending song through the voices of crows whom'st'st you control or whatever. But. I don't know. It's just. Scary blood-loving God stuff kind of got everyone I know and love killed? I'm being prejudiced. I don't know. I'll make him like me, one way or another. And then it'll be fine. Real answer or melodramatic answer?

it would be a welcome distraction, of course
but do not discount that you too are 'out of sorts,' as it were
you are my friend, odin, and so i care for your troubles even if i have my own
that is simply the way of things

well, recall that dio is a vampire, odin
his 'blood loving' is something of a necessity, given his needs
i appreciate the effort, though i do recommend you keep your distance from him for now
he is... unhappy with my condition and can have something of a temper when he is unhappy in such a way

real, if you please

My stuff isn't important!!! Auahughsagjsafladfhlmlvmzlmczx;lcms;lfkdaf;ajg;asgksal;gas;fglav;lzv;lzmv;lskagl;askgj;salmg;zcvlzmf;glkjga but I would like to spend time with you. I should put you in drag or something... Yeah. But, I don't know. I'm sorry. It's just, because of home. I'll get over it. Okay. Uhhhh, I don't believe in anything like that. I had an opportunity to do something kind for the people I lost, and I did, and the God who helped me do it said-- they ascended, after I did it-- But I think he was just being kind. Because, I have killed many people in my life, and, I think believing in a higher or lower plane of existence invalidates the fact that I stopped them. Entirely. They stopped, because of me. It would be disrespectful, to them, for me to think they found peace. When they didn't. Because I stopped them from finding peace. And anything else. Ever again. And, That same God who said the people I lost were at peace, after, the thing that I did, to be kind, said, That it was impossible to reverse death. Even for a God, who could do anything. Which means, there's - nothing. Of them. Left. Does that make sense?

it is important, actually
hm, i've never worn 'drag' before but i have seen that this world's fashions are more
conservative
than i am used to
regardless of what we do shall i come to meet you where you are staying?
or would you prefer elsewhere?

you do not need to apologize, odin
our past shapes us in many ways and leaves it's mark

i admit, i am surprised you take such a bleak view
though i do understand, yes
it was and perhaps is something of a fear i have had for some time
does believing this bother you? or does finality bring you peace?

i'll come to you. There are lots of wards around this place to hide it from people the owner doesn't want to... uh... wait, I can't go to your place if I'm avoiding Dio. Um. Let's go to my place? That I'm not staying at? My actual home. That I'm not in right now. In Nonah. I'll meet you there. I don't really have an answer. I could have found one, if I'd spent more time evaluating my feelings. But I think I'm gonna die pretty soon after heading home? War and doomed timelines and stuff. So... it's not really worth thinking about. ANYWAY, Should I bring anything? Or do you just wanna head over?

that sounds like the best solution
you can visit your dogs as well

do not accept such a thing until fate has passed, odin
and no, i will head over
see you soon, my friend

[ beep. he hangs up. he takes a while to get back home, but when he's there, he's in the same clothes he's been wearing all week - a white hoodie, grey sweats, with unwashed hair and the start of a beard. it's weird. it's weird. he's weird like this. it is disgusting.

he's waiting outside his front door, for pucci, trying REAL DAMN HARD not to look at poe's house, which is right next to his. life is hard. life's a hard. life's hard ]

[unlike this walking hoodied bag of shit pucci is clean and not gross. he does opt for more casual clothing than his usual ridiculous shiny priest cassock, settling for a sweater that's easy to get on and off. cause one arm. the empty sleeve is pinned up neatly and he smiles when he sees odin.]

Odin, it is good to see you, though you look awful. [nice.] I knew I was right to be concerned. Let's go in and perhaps I can convince you to wash your hair.

Edited 2017-12-10 09:31 (UTC)

What? No. I'm fine. I'm alright. Or-- fuck. Was that insensitive? "Alright"? Because you lost your left arm and--

[ he puts both of his two hands attached to his two arms over his face, embarrassed. sorry. ]

Let's just-- it's fine.

[ he unlocks his door and heads inside, but there's no barking dogs to greet them, still with red as they are. it makes the house feel sort of empty. ]

Frankly that was tame compared to what bumbling I assume you are capable of. [pucci puts his ONE HAND on odin's shoulder, arm joke, etc.

when he follows in he frowns. duh, the dogs would be somewhere else pucci. idiot. he assumed his roommates had taken care of them.]

Who has your dogs?

[ what a fucking idiot. with his one arm and his stupid thoughts. what a fool. definitely right about the bumbling bullshit he'll spout before he's done, though. ]

Red... I miss them.

[ the truth is, when archie first told odin pucci lost an arm, he was kind of annoyed? pucci didn't reach out to him, it was weird hearing about it from someone else. but - it makes sense, if pucci was worried about him, and if he viewed his own injury as just a trial, as he says. he feels sort of shitty for being pissed. but. whatever. he shuts the door when they're inside, heading up to his room and flopping down on his bed. god he missed beds. ]

We should have big serious real talks about stuff. There's a lot to catch up on. Tell me everything you've been doing, these past few weeks.

You should visit them. I'm sure Red would enjoy it- in fact he told me recently he was excited you were returning.

[yup, maybe if odin hadn't been doing so shittily he may have been inclined to tell him but. odin was doing worse than he even thought.

not that he thought the arm situation was worthy of as much concern as odin was giving it, but odin hardly knew dio was getting him a replacement. still, that could take a while. he follows to the room and takes a seat on the chair i godmoded as being there report me.]

Hm, well Whitesnake is no longer following my orders, and his range has increased. That has been... irritating. [he sure does sound irritated!] He thankfully hasn't caused much trouble for others but he has certainly caused a great deal for me. I suppose I have only myself to blame.

[ pucci godmoding is IC it's fine ]

We're gonna have a sleepover, me and Red. No boyfriends allowed. 'Cause, you know.

[ he gestures. bein' rejected and all. also, that is fucking horrifying news? odin should be tactful about this, but whitesnake still makes him think of the fucking risen, so he just opens and shuts his mouth a few times before: ]

One of us should probably kill him? Do you want me to kill him? He won't be the first goopy cur I've burned to a crisp. Where is he now? I'll totally take him out.

[i mean. you're not wrong entirely huh. pucci looks amused]

I see, try not to get Red into any trouble, will you?

[well, pucci kind of expected this and shakes his head.]

If you kill him I will also die. I feel and experience anything that happens to him. [so don't murder him, dio will literally skin you.] Though if he starts causing true trouble I may take you up on the offer. I was concerned he may approach you, given your... history. If he does please contact me.

I-- hm.

[ That feels like an insult? Odin's not a troublemaker. Odin's a troublestopper. Odin's... trouble. Heh. Step aside, world. Odin's a troublemaker. ]

I don't want to kill you. He hasn't contacted me. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't.

What kind of stuff has he done since-- everything?

That is not an indication you will not cause trouble.

[he sounds faintly resigned. we all know what will happen.]

I am too. Frankly I was remiss not to warn you sooner, but thankfully he must be busy.

[and he sighs] Petty thievery, insulting people, causing general trouble like that. Having trysts just to irritate me at inopportune moments. He's mostly been quiet since my arm.

Now, shall we talk about you, Odin? Tell me about your troubles- vent, if you would like.

I feel like I've misrepresented myself to you as a human being if you're already condemning me to causing tr--

[ wait ]

Who did Whitesnake fuck?! Wait! Wait! We'll get to the other stuff in a minute! Top or bottom?! Wait. Can he even-- what's-- how does it... work? What does he-- he's humanoid, right? So he's got a humanoid-- wait, wait. I've run this Jonathan thing into the ground, but he's got two dicks 'cause he's, like, reptilian, right? Whitesnake's a white snake, so does that mean-- oh man! And the goop! That's so...

[ ... ]

Is he going to hit on me?

[pucci sort of just. sits back and lets this happen. he probably should have waited until after this discussion segment to ask odin about his feelings. boy.]

No, he will not. You are not to his typical... tastes. [he rubs the bridge of his nose.] Do you really wish to know the particulars of my Stand's genitalia, Odin?

[...]

That is a stupid question, of course you do.
