...honestly all that was kind of ambitious to think of doing on my own... though I suppose I felt like I needed something to fill the days.

Maybe not a whole farm. I'd like a garden.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

And a garden you shall have.

We'll grow our own herbs for cooking, and have flowers at the windowsill.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

And have friends and family over for dinner all the time, and have a little cat...

...didn't you have designs on having a dog, too? I seem to remember that from the very elaborate pitch you gave me at that wedding roleplay live.

Good catch. Yeah, I think the kids would love havin' a dog around.

Can't believe you still remember everything in that drunken spiel.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

For some reason I was playing very close attention!

...do you think they'll all like me?

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

I think they'll climb all over you like monkeys, and argue about whose turn it is t'be swung around on those arms of yours.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

Pfft, that's really... something, isn't it.

But—I think I'd love it.

...I didn't think I'd have children.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

Honestly, neither did I. Didn't think I'd make a good dad.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

I think we can safely say that doesn't bear out in practice.

Doing pretty well managing the rest of your family, too.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

I'm not sure how much actual managing I'm doing. S'more like my existence gives these dads one thing they agree on.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

Vergil's having a number of emotions higher than what you can count on one hand now. I think you had some hand in that.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

I think his boyfriend's mostly to blame, for that. What with the way he interrogates him relentlessly about his feelings. It's terrifying, even for me - and I'm an open book.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

Ahaha... he does sound like he'd be a menace.

...you know, I don't know if I've really spoken with him, much. I wonder if I should.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

Only if you're prepared for him to pry about your life, your hobbies, your dreams for the future, all your relationships and what you hope for them... and that's just the primer.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

Hm... I see. A true master... very dangerous.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

Extremely. Approach with caution.

But it does seem good for dad. Y'know, having someone drag things outta him.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

...ahaha, I'll keep that in mind next time I'm talking to him, then.

You know, I raised the idea of what would happen if his own father showed up here and he said he'd kill him?

1/2

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

There's no way.

He admires Sparda way too much. You-- y'know he styles himself after what his dad used t'dress like??

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

...oh. Oh does he really.

That's so cute.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

Yeah. That's why a guy who doesn't know how to use a fork insists on wearing embroidered suits.

The thing parents do t'us, huh?

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

...mm.

I wonder... what my mother would think of me, now.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

I... don't know.

It seemed like she was always more interested in you being a mini-version of her, instead of your own achievements.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[softlyfalling]

And I don't know—if the ways in which I'm not, were things she could ever forgive, even if... she was under a lot of pressure, too. Maybe because of that.

...maybe she'd respect my being able to beat her in a fight, though. So maybe our families aren't that different, after all.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

I'm sure she wouldn't be opposed to you holding esteem in General Amakura's eyes, either.

In the end, every parent just wants their kid to succeed where they failed, right? Well... I think you've done plenty that she's never accomplished.
