Prompts

July is going to be wet and wild, villagers. Keep an eye to the sky and hold onto your hats!

1. SAVING FACE - Look at you, trying to save that goat or dog or ZALPACA that's gotten stranded in a particularly nasty storm! You're a regular hero, trudging up that cliffside or swiming across that creek! Unfortunately, the sky didn't get the memo about your heroics, and it's just opened up even more. Finishing this job just got a heck of a lot worse. Good thing someone else just showed up to help both you and your animal pal. You hope. It's possible they're just there to laugh at you.


2. PANTS ON FIRE - You know what's great? When the storm breaks, the skies start to clear and everything looks sunny again. You know what's not? When the weather pushes the LYING MIST down from the mountainside while you're out trying to clean up. Hope you don't have any whoppers you're trying to keep secret!


3. SINK OR SWIM - The days when it's not storming are just beautiful, and the village river is running high. There are spots out of the current that are perfect for a cool dip or lounging on the shore, but take care you don't go out too far and get swept away. Oh, and watch out for the RAINBOW CRABS, those claws are sharp.


4. WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Kat followed at his side, the same way that she had in the past. It felt familiar but she couldn't find the same sense of comfort in him that she had before. The rift was there and she worried that they'd never find a way to mend it. Bright green eyes met his as he stopped and leaned against the fence. She was watching him and slowly she began to notice the small changes in him.

"I thought we were close." Her voice was very soft. It was true that she never interacted with Vergil the millionaire but she hadn't thought that was really him. The man she worked with every day, that was the real Vergil. She looked down at her hands, uncertainty creeping into her features.

He was doing so much to help the village but more than that, it sounded like he wanted to help. It was ridiculous but it made Kat happy. "Archery suits you." She said after a pause, a very tiny smile threatening to curve her lips. He was changing, even if he didn't realize it.

[demonic_divinity]

He was disheveled, his hair a mess, in dirty clothes, he looked tired and his hands were visible and had small wounds from working with them. A far cry from the egotist demon he had been when she met him or when he betrayed them. The fact he was leaning much like Dante spoke a lot to. A few weeks had done him a lot of good.

"We were. Closer than I allow most." A fact he worried about admitting to her, but what harm did it do now? Vergil the millionaire, was another side of the dice of his life, before Dante, he wold have called Kat his only true friend, but he couldn't let her in to close. The door was locked, but it nearly opened for her.

He didn't want to starve, and he didn't want to be hated. Helping the village was honestly the best course he saw. "I wish... I am terrible at it. Without my ablities I am not quite as strong as one might expect of a man of my age. "But I am trying, I must do something to fill the days and keep busy after all. There is no internet here." He tried to sound more selfish.

[mediumhoodie]

He was changing and he was going to keep changing. This world was helping him in a way that the city and his parents never had. Kat was happy for him though she wondered if she could find a way to fit in his new life too.

Her gaze dropped towards his hand and she took a step forward to inspect them more closely. They were scared with blisters and marks that suggested someone not used to manual labor. "You should wrap up your hands." She looked up at him and continued. "It could get infected if you don't."

kat paused, her words balancing on uncertainty. "I could help you." They had once been close and Kat wanted them to be close again. It would never be in the same way but she wanted Vergil to know that he wasn't alone. Even if she couldn't understand his choices, she was trying.

[demonic_divinity]

He would deny he was changing but a new world and a new life do that. He wanted to keep learning and moving forward. Anything to keep on dwelling on his mistakes.

When she stepped forward to inspect his hands, he lifted one up again. Letting her look. It got an almost shamed look for him, his hands being in such shape. "I am told it will be good for the archery, that my hands are to smooth for such work without pain." He explained. Before thinking and nodding. "You would know more than I, about human health. I suppose if you want I wont fight it."

He certainly trusted her more than he trusted her more than strangers.

[mediumhoodie]

Kat looked up at him trying to fight the small smile that threatened to curve her lips. She didn't to big changes in her expression but there was light dancing in her dark emerald eyes. "That's right but your hands have to heal properly in order to develop callouses. Otherwise it'll keep hurting."

She wanted to see him get stronger. "I'll find what I need and come fine you." Kat's smile fell away again. "I don't know where you're staying."

She was at the inn for the time being.

[demonic_divinity]

Typing and the occasional system build aside, Vergil rarely did anything that would grant his hands callouses. Gloves and lotions kept his hands soft as could be, and now that was biting him in the ass. Even using Yamato he kept his gloves on, here he wore no gloves. He had no identity to protect or standards to uphold.

"Being human is much more work than I expected." He admitted before looking towards the inn. "I'm staying in the inn, in the 12th room for now. I am planning ti leave soon though. People are still coming and the inn is the best place to start."

[mediumhoodie]

Kat almost smiled though the expression didn't quite reach her lips. Vergil never knew what it was like to be human, how difficult it could be, but he's learning and he's over coming those difficulties. Kat was very proud of him though she knew better than to say as much.

"I'll stop by tonight or tomorrow night. Once I have what I need." She assumed that he'd be there in the evening and didn't want to risk missing him. Plus she had to take the time to see if she could find any plants here that she could use as ointments.

[demonic_divinity]

He wouldn't have known even if he had ever been human, not as rich as he grew up. He had everything handed to him. The worst his years had likely been was the short while he was in an orphanage before being adopted, and the lies about car crash amnesia. He looked over his hands a second before a soft look broke his normal resting bitch face. "Please don't go to any trouble for me, Kat, not after all I have done. Either way, I will be there. I will see you then, maybe without the slap to the face next time." A light attempt at humor as he pushed off the fence.

[mediumhoodie]

Kat felt herself relax at the presence of that subtle smile. She hated that he had that effect on her but she'd been working with Vergil for so long that feeling close to him had become habit. It still hurt and when she looked back, all of their memories were tinted with pain but she didn't want that pain to rule her. That wasn't the way to heal or get stronger.

"When has it ever been any trouble?" There was a light teasing hit to the remark as she looked down at her joined hands. "No slapping." She agreed. Kat hadn't known what came over her then. She wasn't naturally violent but she'd been so angry after remembering him, after seeing him, after all the pain she'd been left with. It didn't feel as important now because she had hope for something better. It was the same hope that always let her see things to the end.

"I'll see you soon." Even if she couldn't find what she wanted, she knew that she'd be able to find something among the inn's stores or the hospital supplies. If she's going to be staying here then she'll work in order to repay for whatever supplies she takes.

She turned then, not willing to linger when she felt so unsteady around Vergil, and headed out towards the hospital to start looking for supplies.
