honebami ( hunting fairies )
[ Crowley has fought against monsters before, but this is the first time he'd ever go against fairies within his lifetime -- something new and exciting, which is what sparks his interest in the first place.
Honebami is somewhat of an enigma, and given the information of him being a sword there's also the growing interest to see him in battle. It's more or less for his own benefit than it is for the town, the quest is only a convenient enough excuse for him to drag this certain person out into the forest to hunt fairies down. ]
Have you ever fought fairies back home? This is a first for me, and I can't say I know what to expect other than the possibility that they'll be annoying as all hell.
no subject
It would be a first for me to fight them too. But, I do know they're irritating.
[ He sighs. ]
It seems like they can use magic and care more about their own amusement.
no subject
[ Or anything along the lines of just needing to put in more effort than he's originally willing to put out -- which means he basically hates everything. And he doubts that the fairies are going to null that annoyance with entertainment. ]
Say, if they start scattering you'll be the one to run after them.
[ It's said in an orderly tone much more than it is a request. ]
no subject
[ They're out a bit of the ways into the forest at least. Seeing as it was Honebami who was dragged here, hm. He's all for working hard, and he's sure Crowley would get rid of things being a direct pain... but that tone has him nod because why not, but also look right at Mister Vampire. Sir, he wants to ask: ]
...How old are you?
no subject
Over eight hundred. I got turned when I was around twenty-five during the 13th century, but I couldn't give you an exact number after that. [ He kind of just... stopped paying attention?? ]
Ah, is that one?
guren ( shitty adults being shitty )
Actually, he really wants to sleep for a solid two weeks. Please let him. Find him a coffin. This sucks.
AND IDK WHERE THEY'RE MEETING UP YOU PICK CROWLEY WILL JUST COME WITH HIS RAT TAIL OUT... READY TO GET JUMPED. ]
Hey. You called?
[ is he in heat?? is this abo verse????? ]
no subject
Still.]
Why do you have to show up in the window? [There's a front door? But actually, it's better this way. No one else in the house has to know. He's busy filling a syringe with something when Crowley appears, and he flicks at it now, turning to glance at him.]
I've got a couple things to go over. You saw Yuu's here, right?
no subject
Yeah~ I saw him... and he still owes me for using my clothes as a towel, ungrateful brat.
[ Teach your kids how to properly speak to their elders, Guren!! ]
But I'm gonna assume that you've got more in store for me than the usual "don't bite anyone besides me" talk, hm?
no subject
[He could waste time laughing at what Yuu did, saying Crowley deserves it or teasing him otherwise, or even commenting on the shady guy stuff— but he doesn't bother. He's always in a rush, and today is no different. He wiggles the syringe.]
First, let me inject this into you. There's a monster in the forest that's stronger than everyone in this town combined, and you're one of the closest things to that level of monster. So, I want to see if this venom works and can paralyze you.
[At least he's honest.]
no subject
hard pause
Crowley retracts his arm, holding it with his other hand and taking a step back as he gives Guren a skeptical look; lips curled into a frown and brow raised in suspicion, eyes capturing the mix of confusion and vague curiosity. He's not worried, but he can't say that he's particularly in the mood of being injected with anything? ]
Can't you just use it on yourself? You're weaker than me, but the results should be the same...
[ They won't. ]
I don't like that you're making me into your personal guinea pig after you went and attacked me!
no subject
[What's!! The problem!!] Besides, I've got something more important to ask of you. If you're going to give me trouble about this, I'll just ask that first.
no subject
Ugh... [ He exhales, clicking his tongue before rolling up the sleeve of his left arm, extending it towards Guren as his face twists with mild annoyance.
Honestly what's the worst that'll happen? He dies? ] You can ask while you inject me with whatever weird shit you've got now. Unless you can't multitask.
no subject
[He injects the syringe just like that, a simple movement, draining the venom into Crowley. It's literally just a bunch of the mutated bee venom specifically with the paralysis effect. Guren isn't sure if it will work, or if it will, how far it will spread, but he's watching for that now.
Meanwhile...]
There's a kid here who's been helping me replicate the drug I use to help control my demon. He was able to do it just in time, but he won't share the formula with me. He's holding it over my head.
That means that at any point, he could decide to hold it back. I'm giving priority to Yuu getting that drug, so if I go crazy, I want you to kill me.
no subject
[ There's a testy edge to his voice. ]
So you're basically stuck being wrapped around this kids finger? Idiot. [ That's similar to his and Ferid's relationship to a degree. The only difference being that Crowley's reluctance was a feign attempt at being human, whereas Guren really just got stuck with the shitty end of the stick. ] I could wring it out of him, if you --
[ -- wanted, he doesn't add. ]
... What?
no subject
[Just a simple promise!! He drops the empty syringe on his desk, and then just full on grabs at Crowley's arm, like that's going to tell him if the venom is working.]
And can you move your arm or not? The rest of you? Remember, you're the one who wanted to multitask.
it's just beesiness with okuni
but first, she needs someone to drag along with her...]
Hey, gramps! You're just lazing about as usual, right? Do the bee quest with me.
no subject
She doesn't even bother asking him... wow. ]
Is that a request or an order? You need to speak kindly to your elder if you want any of us to help you out.
no subject
I am being kind! I'm doing you a favor by giving you something to do.
[she looks... up... at him because he's still ABSURDLY TALL with expectant eyes...]
Some of the mutant bees are super dangerous or super big, or both. Doesn't that sound interesting?
no subject
[ Which he hates. But he knows better than to reject and wait it out because either she or Guren will complain about his lack of compliance -- and he'd rather get stung by a giant mutant bee.
He sighs, features relaxing before he shrugs his shoulders. ]
I guess~ I'll help you, but don't expect me to protect you any. [ Expect him to put his fuckin' life on the line for her ugh. ]
no subject
I'm good at taking care of myself, so you don't have to worry.
[That won't stop her from making needling comments like these... But she's happy! And she immediately makes a bee line (HAHAHA) straight towards the forest.]
You can get the honey and I'll take care of the bees! It'll be like I'm protecting you, instead of the other way around.
no subject
I'm a bigger target than you are, you know, and sneaking around isn't exactly my specialty. [ But it's not said as a complaint as much as it is a mild observation. ] Though if you're confident then I guess I'll put my trust in you.
no subject
Luckily for you, I don't have to be absurdly big or loud to attract attention. [She has... other stupider ways, probably. but for now, she'll lead on despite her short stature straight towards the nearest hive they hear.
the buzzing... is loud.
and the hive as it comes into view is like... the size of a regular house in Ruga??? wow]
. . .I feel like this is your fault somehow. [okuni knows she said she'd liek to find super big bees but she was thinking of like bees the size of small dogs, not... the size of whoever LIVES IN THAT HIVE]
no subject
[ Aside from that, that's a huge ass... bee hive... Crowley whistles in amusement, clearly inspecting what he can from their line of sight with a tilt of his head this way and that. Wow. That's wild. ]
Huh? [ His tone drop, brows curving as he gives her a brief glance. ] I've got nothing to do with this, I don't even like bees. [ ugh ]
Tell me what's your plan before you just jump right in.
no subject
Instead, she looks like she's in the middle of reevaluating all her usual attack plans because thiS HIVE IS STUPIDLY BIG (it's still crowley's fault, she bets the forest spat this hive out bc of HIM).]
I'll cause a disturbance with this first, [she slides her trusty home-made slingshot out of her sleeve] then I'll distract whatever comes out, I guess. There can't be that many bees in there, especially if they're as big as I think they're going to be.
[the hive is big, but possibly only big enough for four human-sized bees... like a bee fam...]
And then you can start doing your part while I'm running around.
[how bad is this plan on a scale of 1 to 10]
no subject
Are you kidding me? [ Is the first thing he says when she reveals her slingshot, quirking a brow and lips immediately curving in order to give Okuni a skeptical look. How was that going to help at all? That was like going at a vampire with a stake -- ultimately useless, but then again they don't have necessarily kill the things so... ]
Sounds awful, but the worst thing that could happen is either one of us dies so let's go for it.
