There's an outlandishly evil pope, a massive angel statue, and Nero being absorbed into it to power the idol like a living battery. His soul screams, his flesh is dragged into its core where it melts and becomes One with the vessel.
Nero can't help but shiver, rubbing his arms just to remind himself he's solid and whole. That's-- deeply uncomfortable.]
Re: LATER,
... Like... everything was cold and dead, and then suddenly it was all on fire again. Painful.
Re: LATER,
Guess that's one way to jumpstart a dead brain...
[His brows furrow, realizing what he just said.]
You think... that's how your head got all, y'know - messed with?
Re: LATER,
[he doesn't look super eager to talk about this either. it's just... weird.]
Re: LATER,
Nero reaches up to cup his face and plants a kiss against his temple.]
Re: LATER,
[fine, he'll admit it. and lean his forehead against Nero's]
Re: LATER,
Nero's face softens with sympathy and worry, and he brings his hands up to both sides of Jason's face.]
I'm just glad you're not alone.
Re: LATER,
I think I got the worst memory out of the way.
[you don't have to]
Re: LATER,
Doesn't mean nothing else is gonna try and give it a run for its money.
...Are you still feeling that fire?
Re: LATER,
Re: LATER,
[Still. Strokes Jason's cheek a bit more, not entirely convinced that Jason is as okay as he's trying to come off as.]
...Should I still go next?
Re: LATER,
still.
he shrugs.]
Maybe you'll end us on a positive note.

The hell...
Re: LATER,
That looks like one of your earlier memories. With the boyband hair.
[he jokes but, also, looks a little concerned]
Re: LATER,
That felt... like I was just gone.
Re: LATER,
[it’s not reassuring, but it’s probably the truth.]
Re: LATER,
[Shakes his head]
Man, I should've known that stupid pope couldn't stay dead.
Re: LATER,
It’s frustrating sometimes.
Guessing he shoulda been dead?
Re: LATER,
Yeah, he sure as hell oughta be dead. Guess that all that demon experimentation did wonders for him.
Re: LATER,
Guess so, or other fuckery. Either way, bet he’s dead now.
[lucky]
Re: LATER,
Yeah, fuck that guy.
[We here at dmc love killing our bad guys]
Re: LATER,
Eventually you'll remember how it happened.
Re: LATER,
[Which is kind of a frustrating thought. No wonder Dante thought he wasn't shit.]
Well. I think we're good for memories.
