. . . It's just a pair of boxers. If word ever gets out whose it is, they're the one who's going to have to deal with the fallout.

[modissty]

Perhaps that's something they should have considered before allowing themself to have their underwear stolen in the first place.

[He's going to suplex DJ Calude.]

[ercnerd]

That was stolen?

[modissty]

Do you think someone else would put their own underwear on our roof? That would be the actions of a disturbed individual.

[LIKE THIS IS MORE NORMAL??]

[ercnerd]

. . . No, I think it takes a certain individual to put any kind of underwear on a roof.

[modissty]

Well. I can't exactly argue with that.

[Honestly, fair. He would personally not want to touch anyone else's undies ever, thanks. THAT SAID--

There's actually been something on his mind for a while, regarding Sieghart. Now's probably not the best of times given the proud flag underwear flapping majestically overhead, but, like. Eh. Whatever.]

...Do you mind if I ask you something?

[ercnerd]

[Sakyou.]

Hm? . . . What is it?

[modissty]

...The tattoo. I recognize you never intended for any of us to see, so if you don't wish to discuss it, then I won't ask.

[But he's curious.]

[ercnerd]

Oh, that.

[It was right there in plain sight, so there's no point in beating around the bush.]

What's there to discuss? . . . It's the truth. I want revenge before I die.

[modissty]

I wanted to ask if it had anything to do with demons.

[They were same hat over demons before so now he's curious about exactly how same hat they really are.]

[ercnerd]

. . . Something like that.

[He rests his good hand on his hip as his gaze wanders.]

Everything is their fault.

[modissty]

[Oh mood. Same hat!! Same hat... WHY IS IT ALWAYS DEMONS.

He's quiet for a second or two, folding his hands together as he stares at the upper edge of their dorm's front door.]

I wonder why so many places have that of all things in common...

[ercnerd]

It's because they're demons. You can't expect them to understand the value of life.

[modissty]

[The fuck demons energy in this corner of the quad is off the charts.]

No, you can't. [DEMONS!!!!] ...I - understand such a concern. [The tattoo, he means.] Unsurprisingly, it is much the same for me.

[He'll die after he gets revenge though that's fine.]

[ercnerd]

[That's also fine with Sieghart, who watches Sakyou.]

. . . Yeah?

[modissty]

[handshake emoji

There's something steely in his expression for a moment.]

Before my death, I wish to prevent them from taking anything precious away from anyone else.

[ercnerd]

. . . That's a difficult wish.

[modissty]

...I think my goal is perhaps not so grand as yours. After all, there are some demons where I'm from who do keep to themselves and behave more like youkai.

[He has a kneejerk demon racist reaction to All Demons but even he recognizes some are just vibin civilians...]

But there is an organization among them that must be taken care of.

[ercnerd]

My goal isn't so grand, either.

[It's very personal, and he knows it. Sakyou seems more merciful than he in this scenario.]

What kind of organization is it?

[modissty]

[Sometimes you have a tiny bit more mercy, probably because he's not ancient...

But, after a beat:]

A criminal one. They're responsible for everything from robbery to arson to murder to human trafficking and worse, and they aim to topple the current government and take the power for demons.

[ercnerd]

Tsk. What's with demons and trying to take what isn't theirs?

[modissty]

They can't be satisfied, even having lost the war.

[DEMONS ARE SORE LOSERS IN KGKVERSE.]

...Are they trying to do something similar where you're from?

[ercnerd]

It's the same in any dimension. The stragglers on Aernas treat it like it's their territory, and an army of them recently invaded the Underworld. No matter how many times they lose, they'll never be satisfied. That's why they should be eradicated!

[modissty]

[GRIM. Demons really are the same wherever they are, wow. Can't believe Sakyou's just sitting here stewing in anger on behalf of a world he knows literally nothing about just because it has demon problems.]

They shouldn't be allowed to continue on in their destructive ways, yes. Though they do have a roach-like refusal to stay down, even when faced with death again and again...

[ercnerd]

That's the trouble of dealing with immortals. You beat them down once, and they just come back again. Can't they tell when they're not wanted?

[Truly, he feels and shares Sakyou's frustration.]
