victory_road | So you want to be a Pokemon Master?

[...good to know you're exactly like your namesake, Kitligula, damn.

He'll sort of smile at that though, since Ferid seems to be okay?? Kind of? Oh my god. He'll carefully join Ferid and the icicles on the ground though, making sure Kitligula doesn't fall off during the descent.]

I'm pretty sure they won't intentionally freeze you, but you might want to be careful anyway.

[THEY ARE SOLID THREE FEET CHUNKS OF ICE seriously how do their organs work though??? this is confusing]

[kitligula thanks u, mountainman. your careful descent is appreciated]

Well, that would be a first if they did! I wonder if I could die again. You wouldn't let me try though, would you?

Absolutely not. Freezing to death is one of the worst ways to go, you know.

[...better or worse than being boiled alive?? jesus christ isaac you fucking disaster]

C'mon, don't get depressing on me already. We're actually alive this time, right?

[...right???? oh god you know he didn't really think about it until just now]

Frankly speaking, I don't know. Do you feel alive?

[... BECAUSE GOD KNOWS HE HASN'T FELT THAT KIND OF ALIVE IN LITERALLY FOREVER?]

I think so? I mean, I felt alive back there too, so uh...

[oh my god]

The quickest way to tell is to see if we'd bleed instead of being... doll-like.

[OKAY]

Shall I bite you and see?

[HAS HIS TIME COME? WILL IT BE ACTUAL FLESH AND NOT FUCKING RESIN?]

Do you want to risk it? I could just cut my arm open to check.

[WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS YOU'RE SCARING THE BERGMITES]

Isaac, if we are still dolls, I think two puncture spots will do less damage to you than a cut on your arm. You'll scare your little heavyweights with too much blood if we're alive anyway... and I may not be able to hold back if I see it spilled myself~.

[I'M SORRY]

Oh, yeah, that does make more sense. I don't want you to get stuck with that taste in your mouth again, so hopefully we're not dolls. But sure, go ahead.

[...After he picks Kitligula up and sits her on the ground, anyway. Sorry, honey.

ALSO I'M SORRY TOO???? I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN]

[... THIS IS SOMETHING FERID HAS BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW?

AND NOW HE GETS TO DO IT. ADMITTEDLY NOT AT HIS FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE HUMAN LIFESPAN (WHEN THEY'RE DYING) BUT THAT'S FINE.

He looks vaguely thrilled, hand tracing different spots to choose from -- wrist, arm, shoulder, neck -- before drawing back down and simply taking Isaac's hand again. Kitligula is Not here for this, she's going to pounce on the Bergmites.]

If this works out, you're going to fully understand why vampires are taken as lovers.

[mutual pleasure and etc

anyway he's going to bite isaac's hand. chomp chomp, is it gross is it good]

[LOOK AT THE POKÉMON BE CUTE AND INNOCENT OVER THERE oh my god why are we like this

anyway this is the man who uses his own blood to attack teenagers (it made sense at the time) so he has zero problems with getting bitten. you'd think that would be a slight concern, even with a vampire boyfriend, but nah. he's totally fine. don't ask me how his blood tastes because i don't know, you're on your own for that one.

judging from the way he lights up, this is very fun.]

Oh, that's... Ahh.

[...WELL HE UNDERSTANDS jesus christ are we going to have to take this to a musebox, i can't believe this]

[BECAUSE THEY'RE STUPID AND WE UNFORTUNATELY PLAY THEM

ALSO it tastes like blood, jesus christ redd blood is goddamn blood!!! i don't care what romantic shit twilight puts out blood is blood.

ferid will do his best not to take too much, even if an actual test of willpower after being dry for so long, but isaac might still feel light-headed when he finally forces himself away!!! like, from blood-loss. not just... the blissful part of it.

... i am going to ensure we don't have to move anything right now dammit BUT WE CAN DO THAT LATER. IF YOU WANT. Ferid's just ultra pleased and has blood on his mouth, hi.]

You were so delicious, it was almost hard to stop~. I kind of want to drink you dry, Isaac.

[WE DID THIS TO US BUT BOY AM I SORRY ABOUT IT

wow, that does feel kind of nice? lightheadedness is usually not nice but he is absolutely fine with it since ferid's here!! also that's. kind of hot?? hmm, that's probably not the reaction he should be having. but w/e ferid's a vampire, he totally expected this so it's fiiiiiiine!!]

Well, I kinda doubt either of us would really appreciate it. But uh, for what it's worth that was... really nice. I'm sure you've heard that before, probably in a lot prettier words too.

[why couldn't lightheadedness rob him of his ability to speak, jfc]

[SAME. I'M SO SORRY.]

Much prettier words. "Really nice" doesn't even cover my feelings about it.

[Which are many and lavish. He wipes his mouth off as an afterthought and climbs into Isaac's lap, just to be close. There's not a single ulterior motive for this.]

I won't tell you what they are unless you pay a fee, though~.

[Definitely not, not a single one.]

Doesn't my blood already count as a fee? If you take any more, I might pass out.

[It's half-teasing! He might actually pass out. Please don't do that to him. That would be the opposite of fun. But he's obviously not bothered at all by it, since he wraps his arms around Ferid's waist easily.]

You're lacking in creativity as always.

[Let him lean in closer and see if he gets it.]

Your blood was an appetizer for me, Isaac-darling~. What do you think I'd like as a main course~?

I used up most of that on designing my array.

[JOKING ASIDE...]

Oh. Yeah, no I... um.

[...POINTED LOOK AT THE POOR INNOCENT POKÉMON]

Right now?

I'm asking for a kiss.

[you perverted lummox]

[.......................]

Oh.

[oh my god]

Th-That— I didn't mean—

[T O O L A T E THERE'S NO RECOVERING FROM THAT]

Oh, I missed you so. You're just too easy~!

[fuckin plaaaayed]

There's simply no one who can replace you for me, Isaac~. But we can certainly have our fill of one another later, if you'd like.

Dammit, Ferid.

[He's doing his best to sound annoyed and it isn't working at all. God.]

I'm glad. And I'm really glad that we've met up again here. Wherever "here" is, since I really doubt this is how reincarnation works.

[you just land in pokémon world, apparently]

[god if only]

It really, really isn't how reincarnation works, from what I understand, and I am very happy to have someone around who isn't blinded by that.

[...]

I would call it a dream, but sleep is still something that isn't required of me. Besides, you feel too real. I'll simply file it as an anomaly with Ginti and Miss Nona and let them handle anything that comes out of it~.

Maybe it was an intentional screw-up.

[we surpassed golden ending and screwed over all rules of death parade— lmao nah]

But I'm really glad I get to spend more time with you.

[if we can screw death parade's rules over but ONLY so it's pokeworld forever i'm down with another round of it--]

You'll regret indulging me so much, you know. It's only going to hurt again in the end.

[It's factually said, but it isn't like Ferid's moving away; if anything he's simply going to rest against Isaac, laying his head on his shoulder.]

... I really did miss you. I missed more people than I thought I would, really -- but you most of all. It's almost as if... [A pause, thinking.] As if a lost part of me has returned with you simply being nearby. I'm terribly sorry for my first reaction to seeing you again.

[He'll easily adjust to that before reaching up to toy with Ferid's ponytail while his boyfriend talks.]

...It's okay. I'm not bothered by it. It didn't even really occur to me that it would've been longer for you. You've had to adjust to things back there and time's passed for you. It hasn't for me. So it's only natural you'd take that sort of thing badly. Besides, what if I didn't recognize you or something? It could've gone pretty badly.

[fun fact: i actually considered giving you route!isaac before i decided that would be too mean]

It means so much to me that I could have such an impact on you though. Not that I like that you've been upset, obviously, but... Knowing that I could do something so important is just... It's a wonderful feeling.

[He's definitely not good at putting it into words, but it means the world to him.]
