[Oh look at Neuro, he's back at that desk, hands neatly in front of him and leaning back in his chair.]

Dead Master.... I wish to talk to you.

[Okay, yeah. He thinks himself as strong.] No need, no need.

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[Physically? Yes. Intellectually? Yes. Emotionally.... he's not so sure anymore.]

...Humans possess abilities that I am not capable of in my current state, I had underestimated them. They're able to do far more than I had originally imagined.

[Basically trying to say he was wrong about humans initially.]

[hugmyscythe]

...Are they stillmicroorganisms?

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

They've upgraded to fleas!

[hugmyscythe]

[--She knows that's something, even if he still thought of them as beneath him. Have a...small smile at that, Neuro.] No joking?

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[AHA HE GOT A SMILE!] Perhaps a little bit.

[hugmyscythe]

[still an improvement!] Good, good.

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[He glances away from her.] ..... You're not weak, Dead Master. In any form of measurement.

[Definitely not joking.]

[hugmyscythe]

[...ah, she doesn't know what to say to that. she's certain that she is, is many ways--and that he's only saying this because as 'equals' he doesn't want to be viewed as weak.]

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[Ah? No response? Fine by him. But he almost wants to tease her.]

Nothing? Not even a- "n-no don't say things like that-!" Kind of response? I might need to bump up my compliments to another level to get that kind of reaction.

[hugmyscythe]

Do not mock me,
Neuro Nougami.

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[BAHAHA! NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!]

But it's fun.

[hugmyscythe]

...I am notyour Yako.[Doesn't like repeating herself. :| ]

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

And you never will be! But I like teasing. Pretty soon you'll be able to differentiate when I'm joking and when I'm not...... maybe.

[hugmyscythe]

[my god would't that be something] In truth, I do not know--so I take it asthat you mean them seriously.

[....Aw... that's almost disappointing.]

Really? Is that why they haven't been effective? Hmmm.... I think I might have to add 'I'm kidding' at the end of the sentence every time... aahh but then it might weaken the punchline.

Oh I know! How about I throw this TV... [Suddenly has a small TV in his hand.] ... At you every time it's a joke.

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

.....I'm kidding.

[NOPE HE STILL FINDS IT FUNNY.]

[hugmyscythe]

I believe it is advisedto not trust the

the words of a demon.

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[SIGHS.] I think I'm a bit different....

[hugmyscythe]

[Oh, she knows he's different. But--] Do tellexactly what

makes you think

you can be trusted.

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[His smile fades a bit but it's still there.]

As stated before, my main concern is mysteries. However, if there was anything that would threaten these humans, I would be willing to protect them.

They are more precious to me than I let on, rest assured. [He's talking about no humans = no mysteries. And he doesn't like that.]

Hopefully that is a good enough reason. If not... then I don't know what else to tell you.

[hugmyscythe]

[She understands that now, that without humans--his main source of mysteries for the moment--he has no food.] I would like to knowsince you realized you were a criminal

would you have allowed me

to...punish youlike I did?[meaning, she wouldn't have had to trick him]

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[Now that's....]

....Hoh. That's truly an interesting question. I enjoy torturing criminals myself, so I can see the appeal in that aspect.

I wasn't proud of what went on either, so perhaps I would have. Not as a human though, I suppose that would still have to be tricked. I wouldn't walk into that willingly.

[He would have obliged if she wanted vengeance by having him as a demon and her using her scythe against him. At least then he could try to resist, to fight back. But even then he has a feeling she'd win.]

[hugmyscythe]

One reason you were human was to disturb you.The other reasonwas that I would not have

to fight you--

You see, I would have thought you wouldresist....But say, ifhalf way through,

you returned to having

a demon's body. Would you still have

laid there?

[brainisout.livejournal.com]

[Well, it sure as hell disturbed him alright. He never wanted to go through that again.]

Hm- I wouldn't want to fight anyways. I only go on the offensive over certain situations.

Anyone would think another person would resist when asking them to oblige to punishment, you're not wrong there.

Hoh.... if I returned? No, I wouldn't have laid there. [A pause, and then he goes to return to that chair of his, hands laced in his lap, and he puts his feet up on the desk.]

I would have resisted, definitely. However, I think I would have lost that battle. I am not a complete monster, Dead Master.
