Mayhem by Mimi

"You lazy bastard! If you're not going to read them, then at least leave them on my shelves until you are!" Speaking of which - he sees that rare, limited, uncensored edition within Mephisto's collection. He'll be helping himself to that, seeing how it's not being read right now...

Sidling himself up to peer over Shiro's shoulder, "You've excellent taste in certain regards, my dear. This is one of them, to be sure."

"Oh?" Bored of his reverse petting tactics, Shiro falls back to simply ruffling and mussing up Mephisto's fur for a brief moment. "I didn't agree to feed you. In fact," he grabs the ends of the cravat-turned-collar and pulls them loose from their knot, "I don't see why I should feed you at all! You look plump enough to me."

"I believe I'm owed it," his voice muffled by the fabric he's so diligently trying to retrieve without tearing, "after all your pestering!"

"She loves me." Shiro wastes no time with spinning Mephisto around on the floor in a complete 180° turn. With this new angle to attack from, he quickly begins petting Mephisto's back in the opposite direction his fur runs, grin widening as the Ba'al's state is further ruined. "Plus, I feed her."

"She's got-!!!" a shriek as he's semi-circled around on the floor, "wretched taste. A good meal is nothing to scoff at, however. I suppose I can put up with all this if that's the exchange." As if he weren't putting up with it regardless.

"Doesn't sound like much of an improvement to me." A harsh but fair assessment, even if Jaden loathed speaking of his beloved nibling this way. "What's the point of bolstering his numbers if he can't control any of them? Why haven't you focused on getting him stronger and more capable of handling what he already has?"

"That, good sir, is what cram school is for. Our instructors are more than capable of granting the young lad all he needs to know. Whether he progresses in the matter is entirely up to him. Though I suspect having a role model he idolizes and aims to impress certainly won't hurt his enthusiasm☆"

"I think Lewin's hyped up his enthusiasm enough as it is. Kid needs to slow down and get back to the basics, not run ahead of his own skills."

"Under ideal conditions, indeed. Pacing ourselves is not a luxury the current state of the world will afford any of us right now. The American boy's enthusiasm may be his greatest asset."

“As per the oxymoron..is not the entire world and even universe a paradox in and of itself?” The brunette questioned looking to the demon.

"I just think they're neat! Their inhabitants even more so. Humans will forever be entertaining in all they do and all they create~"

"Currently, I am actually trying to get the last pieces of the Cavalier armor set for my shaman half-vampire toon...but..PVP varies depending on how many have managed to finish maxing out their characters by completing the latest dungeons, and how often they raid during the latest expansion release"

The moment the tablet is out, Mephisto looms over Yukio's shoulder to eye the screen. "There's something to be said for having a clear goal left to accomplish with any game. Something to strive for and devote yourself to that keeps you coming back," spoken like a demon who's failed to finish a shocking number of games due not to lack of time, but rather lack of skill.

"That sounds like quite the oxymoron; a nicer demon. I may be on humanity's side, but I'm nothing close to nice."

"Why do I have to do this interview anyway?" He whined, still to no one in particular but also to Draluc since he was nearby and full of answers. "Like, I get Ronaldo is writing another book and I'm apparently interesting to his editor but why? I don't even do anything."

"Oh yeah. What's up with that?"

"I see, it sounds like a very impressive collection," Yukio commented, "What about a Hello Kitty Sakura collection?" He questioned before continuing to speak, "I can one day show you the armor collection that my Shaman in EverQuest 2 can build, along with his familiar collection and collection of mercenaries." He added, while he didn't necessarily speak Otaku Geek..he did know Geek..so hopefully that counted?

"What sorts of outfits do they have?"
