Ferid Bathory | Seraph of the End | Trustfall CRAU

[seventhprogenitor]

[He's already dubbed the Skitty that's made it home on his shoulder "Aligula"; not for any sentimental reason, no, but just because she reminds him of that tiny tot of a girl he decided was His in the same way one decides that a treasure is Theirs.

... At least, in time, these lonely feelings will fade like all the others.]

This place isn't all that bad, I suppose. It's very... alive compared to where I was before.

[And Ferid laughs at his own joke, because his own world was dying anyway and he was dead in the second place he awoke to. If this is a dream, he's certainly going to enjoy it -- he hasn't dreamed in thousands of years, after all!]

Shall we find some clothes to dress you in, Aligula~? I think you would look marvelous in the fashion here -- and quite lucky for you, I know how to pull it all together!

[... Mostly! They'll be exploring Goldenrod City and seeing the fashions offered, mostly windowshopping because ahahaha these prices are a little... out of their range..!]

oh look it's a fellow silver-haired Kagami character :D

[dreamsofahero]

*well, suddenly finding himself in Goldenrod isn't nearly as far from home as some places he could think of, though it's still as mildly annoying as ever to wind up here. but still, he's been through all this before--numerous times, in fact--so there's no point dwelling on it*

I take it you just found yourself here?

*he's taking a wild guess from the "where I was before" bit. and at least he's probably reasonably well-dressed from a certain perspective?*

:D!!!! oh boy

[seventhprogenitor]

[... Definitely well-dressed in a sense, for a man that's seen two thousand years of noble fashion anyway. Ferid smiles, tilting his head with a soft laugh that can be taken as sheepish.]

I'm afraid so, stranger! I certainly didn't expect it, nor to find myself with such an adorable companion as I have here.

[With a motion to his Skitty.]

And you? Are we in the same position, or are you more.... native to this place?

it is my dream to someday see a Crowley and a Claugh in the same place....

[dreamsofahero]

Well, neither, precisely; I've been here about four and a half years at this point, though originally I arrived just as unexpectedly as anyone.

[seventhprogenitor]

You're more than native then, in my opinion, and most suited to be my guide~. You may call me Ferid, and this little one is Aligula.

[The Skitty waves her tail, meowing loudly as she hops down to inspect the stranger more thoroughly. Me-ow~.]

It seems she's taken a liking to you.

[evilfrenzy]

[Ending up here of all places was definitely unexpected, but like Ferid, Rideaux isn't complaining too much. The only downside is not...having any money or supplies... He should've expected this disadvantage if it was Ginti's doing.

He's with his Zangoose when he spots Ferid in one of the clothing shops. He's not surprised that they had similar ideas.]

Well well, look who it is. Having fun with this world's fashion, Ferid?

[Did Ginti send everyone here...? But wait, wasn't Ferid going to stay behind?]

[seventhprogenitor]

I'd be having more fun with it if I could afford the nicer looking things, but alas~. I'll do with what I can for my little darling here.

[It's just his immediate reaction, though, to reply like that, and Ferid turns to take in Rideaux and the new companion at his side with a tilt of his head.

... Somehow, that thing fit him. It's really nice to see Rideaux again, on that note, but it's easy to keep composed and inwardly curse those more human feelings this group reawakened.]

And yourself? Have you brought me something beautiful to adorn myself, like I asked?

[evilfrenzy]

[Rideaux was going to comment on Ferid's little cat, but that second bit takes him by surprise. He squints in mild confusion.

He hasn't forgotten that promise, but...]

I've got a few thousand gald...or whatever they call the currency here. I'm not going to cheat you with something cheap and tacky.

[At least...there's that...]

Seriously though, did you really expect me to have enough for that when we only just got here?

[seventhprogenitor]

[Awww, he's touched.]

Honestly, I'm rather under the impression that people simply give you money by the way you're dressed.

[... Is that shade about his fashion or.]

I'm touched that you'd want something genuinely expensive for me, though~.

[glaciates]

[Goldenrod City is not exactly Isaac's idea of a good time. Big cities never have been, especially not after the disaster in Central. It doesn't help that he's picked up a tiny horde of icicles that are following after him and making tiny chirping sounds whenever he gets too far ahead. They have stubby little legs, they can't keep up very well. This is exactly the sort of stupid situation he should have expected to find himself in, but somehow he kind of hoped that things would maybe not be stupid for once. Oh well. At least there's one very familiar face up ahead.] Ferid! [Cue more chirping from the icicles as he speeds up to catch up with Ferid.]

[seventhprogenitor]

[-- Oh there is no God, not here, not back home, and certainly not in the afterlife he first met Isaac in. The Skitty jerks a little when Ferid both stops abruptly and then starts moving again, meowing in protest at the jerky movements when he finally turns around and make sure that maybe he's just having some sort of dream after all. ... Well. The icicles are... adorable, the chirping just as, but oh there isn't a single god that looks at Ferid and gives him mercy.] I suppose I've done a lot to deserve this, [an idle musing mostly to his cat, before he wonders if it's too late to say "Sorry, do I know you?" and... it most certainly is, at this point. All Ferid can do is accept this is something that is really happening and ponder on the great number of feelings he's experiencing right now. Wow.] Isaac. [Even-toned and more of an acknowledgement than anything, to stay in control.] It's... wonderful to see you again. [... Maybe.]

[glaciates]

[...Well, that's definitely... different. Um. Okay he literally just said Ferid's name, how did he fuck that up. Is there something he forgot to consider?? ...Anyway the icicles catch up and greet Ferid cheerfully which sort of reminds Isaac that he actually has to come up with a response instead of just. staring.] It really is. Wonderful to see you again, I mean. Though uh, I guess it's been longer for you. [...smooth.]

[gorira]

[ This is a little more like it. The big city lights, the hustle and bustle, it's exactly the sort of place where Chitoge feels right at home. The sentiment isn't just Ferid's; she's adoring every second of this. ...Of course, the circumstances are strange, and she definitely wishes that her treasure was with her, but, she didn't exactly expect to find her in a day after they parted.

Still, she'd...recognize the weirdo ogling the department store windows anywhere. It's a sight she associates with the overbearing smell of garlic, and a...lot of pent-up hostility, frankly, but, well, that's no excuse not to be civil, least of all with a person she should be grateful she still recognizes. He's a shitty vampire, but, he's her shitty vampire, whether she likes it or not. ]

I...see your taste is still as uniquely tacky as ever, Ferid.

[ What are the odds they'd bump into each other in the middle of a huge city? Her luck with this is truly unreal... ]

[seventhprogenitor]

[... This is so unreal. Ferid looks over his shoulder with a smile, the Skitty following the motion perfectly.]

I think you mean wonderfully innovative, Chitoge~. Though they do say that genius is only recognized once you've died -- my, that's happened a couple of times now, hasn't it? It's a wonder I haven't been recognized at all so far~!

[He's the same as ever, it'd seem. He is glad to see Chitoge, just as he's glad to see (mostly) anyone else, and he also hates that he's glad to see her and (mostly) everyone else. Stop that. He had no feelings for like, a good bit, and now this??? Bullshit.]

[gorira]

[ Sounds like we might need to invest in some Poke-therapy somewhere down the line.

Actually, that'd probably be good for all thirty of them. They could all use it, honestly. ]

Innovative is...one way of putting it, I guess? Aren't vampires supposed to stay in hiding or something? Maybe that's interfering with your marketability. And though the last thing I need to tell you is to put yourself out there...

Besides, you've been recognized, trust me.

[destage]

[There's a girl likewise wandering around the city, holding a large fish in her arms--apparently it's at least okay to keep them out, as long as you keep water nearby for them. That's all well and good!

...What isn't is bumping into someone because one's head is in the clouds, and Sayaka nearly drops her fishy friend in the process. She's quick to react, though!]

Oh--I'm so sorry! I really should have watched where I was going, are you...o...

[...well there's a face she never thought she'd see again.]

...Ferid-san? When...when did you get here? [...okay she's gonna look like an idiot like that, think of something--] --Er, and who's your little friend up there? She looks adorable...

[seventhprogenitor]

[Look at all of you. You all keep appearing. One after the other, seemingly to ruin his fashion trip.

... His windowshopping trip. And it isn't ruining it, maybe, but it is so uncomfortable to have feelings again, hello Sayaka and... fishy friend.]

That's Aligula. [Um.] Is your fish alright?

[destage]

[He's reached his true hell, never being able to have a pleasant shopping experience again.

Still, the fish perks up a bit at Ferid's words, giving a small 'karp!' as a response! ...Sayaka has other things to worry about, though, looking at the little kitty in concern.]

He's okay, but--Aligula-san reincarnated into a cat? That's...actually a possibility?

[...A cute kitty if nothing else but STILL.]

Wait, how do you know it's her?

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...........okay there's a lot of thoughts here and it's all very deep and meaningful and she hasn't actually seen him since he left (in her time) so—

she's coming at him with her Woobat yelling after her. ]

Don't! Make! C-ligula a thing, Ferid! ...I mean, D-ligula! Change that cat's name right now! [ PLEASE!!!



also hi boo ]

[seventhprogenitor]

[-- There are so many people who give him feelings but Aligula is the only one he's catching in his arms, swinging her around briefly. It hasn't been that long for him since he'd last seen her!! It's better than....... everyone else he's been meeting!!!]

No~. She's perfectly you, Aligula, you're practically twins -- if I didn't know any better, I would have thought that you reincarnated into her~.

[innocentloveholic]

[ NO!!! She'll take the swinging and the hug, but no!!! ]

Then I'm calling her Gully! [ since ali is a nickname of hers that never gets used THIS CAT IS NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM HER. After her huff, though, she's squeezing him tightly and groaning. ] Feriiiiid, it was so awful after you left! Like, even more boring than before!

[ The only nice thing that came out of it was having Ginti to herself 100% of the time. ...she isn't telling him that, he'll make fun of her. ]

[cilantro]

... Have you seen the store across from here? They have good taste in fashion, and at a decent affordable price.

[HI FERID...]

[seventhprogenitor]

[....... HI CILAN.......]

I suppose I'll have to take your advice, then. [And turn around, hello.] I'm correct in that this world is yours, isn't it? Or... something close enough, in any case.

[i mean. "pokemon" being thrown around by other people kind of gives it away, but.]

[cilantro]

Yes, that's right. This is the Johto region, where many different species of Pokemon can be found and befriended.

... Though, it tastes a little different now than when I was here previously.

[Before the whole... um. Death and Murder game happened.]

[rainofterror]

Hey, asshole, think fast!

[Archie laughs and chucks a Pokeball at Ferid, because this how we greet people right? He's got his whole party with him, out of their Pokeballs: Sharpedo floating on one side, Muk oozing along beneath, and Mightyena on the other. The giant bat hovering above is probably his too, so you know, the terrifying taste in pets continues.]
