[ Well hello hello, city of Vatheon, have you missed your favorite absent-minded demon? Because he's sure missed you. A little bit. Thrilled to have returned, at least by his own standards (meaning that there's a lot of interesting food readily available), Amaimon is sitting on a lamp post in the plaza, already stocked up on a variety of snacks, toying with the SFC. Which is inconveniently upside down, a fact which is beyond his awareness. Trying to recall how the device works and pressing random buttons, he enables the video function, the resulting film that is broadcast onto the network being upside down itself, given the SFC's odd positioning. He taps a bit on the screen, before attempting to speak to it. ]

Aah... hello?

[ At that, he brings his head closer to the communicator, holding it right in front of his eye, as if to try and see the little people inside the SFC, before pulling it back and tapping on the screen once more. ]

Aniue?

[ Just gonna casually reach into the nearest open potato chip bag and eat a potato chip while he waits. And then another. Aaand then another, until he accelerates to the rhythm of 5PpS (Potatoes per Second), before he realizes that he actually has to end the transmission for people to respond, though that only happens by the time the bag is empty as can be. ]

[So it's been a kinda crappy few days for Yukio. Rin disappeared with no sign as to when or if he would return, Maka decided that just after learning that his brother had disappeared would be a great time to question Yukio's mental stability, and Night got him drunk. Spectacular week.

Yukio steps out of a shop with a cup of coffee in one hand and a frown on his face, sipping the hot liquid carefully before turning to head back in the direction of the clinic. At least he had that distraction, and things could always be worse, right? There could be a demon hanging out in the plaza or something. Or there could be the annoying sound of a crinkly potato chip back right above him and-

... Oh, shit, there's a demon hanging out in the plaza. And he's got chips. 8|]

[demonicdiabetes]

... huh?

[ It takes him a moment to realize that someone is right below him, and even if he has only seen him once or twice, it's enough to get him to jump down from the post and to land in front of Yukio, simply out of curiosity. He stares at the teenager with an absent minded look for a couple of seconds, before zooming in on the one thing that pings his attention. In a quick motion, he attempts to grab the cup of coffee Yukio is holding, because let's face it, in his mind, a liquid with a new, interesting fragrance is of much higher priority than Yukio himself. ]

[Yukio's small fry and he knows it, but that only makes the idea of Amaimon suddenly in his personal bubble seem even more like a very, very bad thing.

Yukio instinctively jerks back a few steps, his free hand going for the borrowed gun at his back. Still holding on to that coffee, but it's more likely due to a reflexive tightening of his fingers than any attempt to save the beverage. It's good coffee, but not that good.]

action

[demonicdiabetes]

[ Taking a gander at the gun Yukio pulls off, the tiniest hint of a smirk takes place in his expression. ]

Ah, you want to play?

[ Because he's much more than happy to oblige. His main objective is still the coffee, not exactly hurting Yukio, but that doesn't stop him from charging full speed ahead toward him, still intent on grabbing that cup.]

[neetlife]

[Lucifer's scrolling the network, and this guy's caught his attention. Mainly because, well, possible snacking buddy?]

Hi.

[He replies to the poster's original statement first before asking the all important question.]

Where'd you get those potato chips?

[demonicdiabetes]

[ Meanwhile, by the time he gets this response, he's already opened a second package, and is quickly wearing down its contents. ]

One of the... [ Crunch munch munch. ] ... shopsh around. [ Munch munch. ]

[ Noticing the pack is now empty, he throws the package away, opening yet another one. ]

[neetlife]

[Lucifer hasn't really checked out the shops yet but makes a mental note to do so.]

I take it you're as bored as I am at the moment?

[He pauses for a moment, watching the other guy eat the chips.]

I'm Lucifer, by the way. New here, I guess you could say. And you are...?

[demonicdiabetes]

[ He's just going to stare at the communicator for some seconds before mentally overcoming the hurdle that is the first question. After all it's subtracting from his potato chip eating time. ]

Amaimon. [ He points at himself briefly, before returning the hand to the chip pack, still staring with the most uneventful expression. ]

action

[darkasnight]

Ah, you're back.

[He stands under the lamp post, hands in his pockets, but no sword bag to be seen. Hooked around his wrist is a plastic bag full of something.]

It's been awhile.

action

[demonicdiabetes]

Ah, lil' bro!

[ To an absent-minded individual like Amaimon, it's not exactly easy to keep track of near identical people, especially after being away for a bit. He drops down, landing in front of Night, pack of chips still in hand and being used. ]

But... wait... [ Sniff sniff. ]

You're not lil' bro! You smell worse than he does!

action

[darkasnight]

Tch! No worse than you do. [The smell of other demons, demons who didn't bother hiding their scent, was disgusting to him. His stomach turned.]

But no, I'm not Rin. Too bad.

action

[demonicdiabetes]

Ah, I smell bad? [ Cue him sniffing his arms, though something else catches his attention before he realizes that not showering once a day is a public health hazard. And so is not applying deodorant. Not that he would anyway. He promptly points at the bag Night is carrying, though his face doesn't exactly indicate any curiosity, still set to its default indifferent expression. ]

What have you got in there?

Action if you don't mind~

[dontsaymyname]

[ Barry was walking through the plaza when he spotted Amaimon perched on the lamp post. Considering the wide variety of people that were in Vatheon seeing someone perched on a lamp post may not have been a very odd site, but being a demon himself, Barry knew one when he saw one.

A small smile spread on his face and he walked over not at all worried for his own safety. ]

Greetings.

[ Barry smiled up at Amaimon. ]

action

[demonicdiabetes]

Huh?

[ It takes him a moment to realize someone is trying to talk to him, but as he does, he hangs upside down on the post he was sitting on, facing the individual that approached. ]

... [ Sniff. ]

[ Let's just add that social interaction is not exactly his forté. ]

You smell funny.

action

[dontsaymyname]

My, that's not very polite is it?

[ Barry was still smiling though. This one was cute, obviously a little awkward, but he was cute. ]

I don't believe I've seen you around before.

action

[demonicdiabetes]

I just [ Munch munch. ] got here.

[ He may or may not be eating chips whilst upside down. ]

I was here before, though. [ Gobble chomp munch. ]

Vidya

[heartandsoul]

Ah!

[Well there's a familiar face. Though he might not remember her, hey, at least he has someone happy to see him.]

Welcome back! I'm sure Mr. Faust will contact you soon enough...

[A beat.]

Um, it's upside down. Your communicator, I mean.

Vidya

[demonicdiabetes]

Uh?

[ Well, it's not his brother, but it's a starter. He stares at the communicator, trying to remember exactly who the person on the other side is. It'd help if he had the scent to aid him, but for now, his memory will have to do. ]

.. aah! Mara! [ Nice try, Amaimon. ]

[ And, as polite as he is, he resumes his potato chip eating as he speaks. ]

Do you know [ Munch munch. ] where big bro [ Gobble chomp munch. ] is?

[ It doesn't help that the communicator is still upside down. ]

Vidya

[heartandsoul]

Maka.

[She knows he can't help it and it's nice that he even tried.]

He lives in the middle district of Vatheon, in the Ordo neighborhood. It's really close to the library, you can't miss it! Although--if he's not there, I guess you can always wait for him to come back or to come find you?

Vidya

[demonicdiabetes]

[ He just stares (while stuffing his face with chips) as Maka describes Mephisto's address. Because let's face it, he's not exactly noting it down, he's more focused on the potato chips. ]

... [ Munch munch. ]

[ Just going to skim over what she said next, because he's the most polite person in existence. ]

Where is that? [ Nom. ]

[paladaddy]

[Oh it's you.

Shiro is less than thrilled, and when he speaks his voice is flat.]

You came back.

video

[demonicdiabetes]

[ Understandable, but the response comes in an equally flat tone, even if it's his default one. ]

Ah, you're... [ Who was he again? Time to engage in a series of memory jogging to see if he can recall. ]

You're... [ HMMMM. ]

You're... [ Aha! ]

Old man! [ God damnit. ]

video

[paladaddy]

Why yes, I am an old man. So good of you to notice.

action; after the mayhem with the coffee...

[pierrotdemonique]

[ He approaches as calm as possible and fully aware of the caffeine situation thanks to his handy little snitch. ]

As much as I appreciate your tending to the competition, this certainly wasn't quite what I had planned when I was thinking of a monopoly of the city's cafes.

[ Clearing his throat. ]

You've probably had enough to last you a week?

action

[demonicdiabetes]

Butaniueit'sreallygood!

[ He's currently chomping down chips at Mach 5 speed, and his eyes are wide open, quite a rare sight indeed. ]

ButnowIfeelweirdandIdon'tknowwhat'shappeningalsoI'mhungry.

[ If someone were to stare attentively, they might figure out that he's actually vibrating a bit. ]
