this didn't exactly go like he expected it to go, honestly. when he pulls the wand out, he's salivating profusely from how bad it tastes that it just ends up blowing a big (wow!) spit bubble (spubble) on his mouth.
he lets out an,] AH! [but it sounds weird in the bubble, and the noise immediately pops it right over his face. he starts spluttering a lot.]
[thank you very weird sewer flea man, from one hellpit living creature to another.]
It's a fish that puffs up really big when it's scared! It has little spines on it. Boy, they prick! They have toxins inside them that taste like [he goes BLECK.]
I don't think I want any more than what I've had, thanks!
[he sticks the wand back out to mahito. you can have it back, sir!]
[Sometimes you're just a creature that goes haha! It's fine.]
That's so true! Like how poisonous flowers and frogs are always so pretty! [CLAPPING HIS HANDS TOGETHER. No, Mahito. No, Sloth. Stop this.]
There probably really is someone out there somewhere who's died from drinking bubble juice though, yeah. Hey, does your list have the way people die on it, then? What's the weirdest thing you've seen?
Yeah! [please stop sounding so earnest and excited.] Oh, um... [thoughtful.] The prince has stood in lava before! Just straight up stood right in it, and burned to death! Melted!
Oh! He got killed by a rat once! I couldn't believe it!
[IS IT???? Mahito's just going ooooh as Sloth explains. HE KNEW IT WAS SOME STYX SHIT.]
Huh! Wow. So he just keeps dying over and over trying to get outta there? I guess you gotta give someone like that a good grade for determination. Hey, do people not reincarnate where you're from, then?
Oh, like Shi Qingxuan? Nope! Everyone comes to us in the Underworld! If you've been bad, you go to Tartarus for punishment on Master's orders. If you're a legendary hero, or the gods liked you, then you go to Elysium! Otherwise, you go to Asphodel.
Um--it use to be a meadow--my brother, the prince, and I went there sometimes when we were kids--but Phlegethon overflowed, so now it's all lava! Haha!
Don't worry, don't worry! None of that happens to curses! We just disappear when we're exorcised. The weak ones, anyway! The strong ones reform after a century.
[HE'S COMING FOR YOU IN 100 YEARS GOJOU SATORU, YOU BINCH.]
So if it was me, since my source won't ever go away, I'd just come back eventually! And then I'd find a way to come say hi!
[YEAAAH wow Sloth will never escape him now. Incredible. Also incredible, this eternally burning meadow that will just be on fire for fuckin ever. RIP to the mortal souls there.]
That's too bad, though. I guess they'll just have to be hot forever, haha.
Aww... You'd really... find a way to visit me? I... don't know what to say! Thanks, I guess!
[please stop saying I'LL FIND YOU to sloth. I REGRET PLAYING TWO BEINGS WHO HAVE SIMILAR ENERGIES TO CURSES why didnt i just play humans or something. immense blool regret.]
Well, they're Shades, so it'll be fine! [WILL IT?] It's at least not Tartarus punishment!
[Nah this is how it goes! You choose to play nonhumans and the nonhuman will FIND THEM!!! Speaking of being nonhuman, he just very casually nods at the idea of Shades being fine in an eternal field of lava.]
That's the fire-and-brimstone kinda thing, yeah? Eternal damnation, boiling away in vats of pig fat, getting your insides eaten by tiny bugs, whatever? True, it's not as bad as that! They'll be fine.
[WILL THEY BE... Anyway, he'll shift back to their first topic again with a smile because this is terrible and just going to get worse.]
Anyway, yeah! You're a lot of fun and I like you; why wouldn't I want to find a way to visit? We can make a vow on it, so you'll know I'd keep my word!
Um, you know. Rolling a boulder [a small one the size of a large one] to the top of a mountain, but it just rolls back down again! Standing in a pool with a fruit tree over your head, but you can't reach either! Being strapped to a flaming wheel!
[his face looks surprised, and the bobbing float pauses briefly.]
You like me...? I... I...! Well, um, sure! I'd really like that! It's almost like... we're friends!
[HE LAUGHS ABOUT THESE PUNISHMENTS??? why the fuck did it take someone 6 weeks to kill this man.]
That's about what I'd expect. Really creative stuff, huh? It's not bad!
[Terrible. BUT WOW. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS. Whatever the fuck this is. He's still just hanging out here, vibing and smiling as Sloth makes a new awful flea friend.]
I do, yeah. We don't have to be like friends - we can just be friends, you know? I'd love to be your friend! Ah, I can't really make a binding vow in the way I would back home, either, but that's fine! We can just do it this way.
[LOOK. Sometimes?? You're just Sisyphus, and that's okay.
Wow this is terrible though. Can't believe Mahito is killing one of Sloth's crew and then gifting him a best friend only to snatch that gift away accidentally. He looks perfectly content as he hooks his pinky with Sloth's, though! The contract is sealed.]
Oh! I guess we are, huh? I've never had a best friend before. [HOW EXCITING.] I promise I'll treat you really nicely! And come find you again, when this is all over.
[not in this zagreus run anyway. yay, first times for both! the cursed contract is sealed. he'll see mahito later when mahito inevitable (redacteds) out of (redacted).]
Wow... All of that for just me...! I don't know what to say except, um, thanks! And if it's not too weird... I can't wait to see you again when you come find me!

[hm.
this didn't exactly go like he expected it to go, honestly. when he pulls the wand out, he's salivating profusely from how bad it tastes that it just ends up blowing a big (wow!) spit bubble (spubble) on his mouth.
he lets out an,] AH! [but it sounds weird in the bubble, and the noise immediately pops it right over his face. he starts spluttering a lot.]
no subject
He will also helpfully reach out to try wiping some nasty bubble spit off his face if he isn't floating too far away to do that. Gross.]
Haha! Wow, that one was pretty impressive! How's the flavor? Are you a fan?
no subject
[he's only floating an inch or so off the ground, so even though he's, like, six foot, mahito can reach.]
Ack! [he sputters a bit again, making a face, tongue out.] It's definitely not ambrosia! Wow! It tastes worse than scuffer toxin!
no subject
I don't know what that is! But see what I mean? Isn't it so bitter? And if you drink too much of it, it makes you really sick!
[Important bubble facts with Mahito.]
no subject
It's a fish that puffs up really big when it's scared! It has little spines on it. Boy, they prick! They have toxins inside them that taste like [he goes BLECK.]
I don't think I want any more than what I've had, thanks!
[he sticks the wand back out to mahito. you can have it back, sir!]
no subject
Oh! Like fugu! Some people still eat the flesh of those, though. And the spines can kill you, haha.
[DON'T HAHA ABOUT IT. But he'll take the... wand back... with its Sloth slobber.]
Pretty fun as long as you're not tasting it, yeah? And now you know for next time! --Oh, don't get it in your eyes, either.
no subject
Wow! Bubbles are so dangerous! I can't believe I would have to definitely check off people on the list having died from consuming the bubble juice!
How can they be so wonderful, yet so deadly! Exactly like everything else that can usually kill you, huh!
no subject
That's so true! Like how poisonous flowers and frogs are always so pretty! [CLAPPING HIS HANDS TOGETHER. No, Mahito. No, Sloth. Stop this.]

Yeah! [please stop sounding so earnest and excited.] Oh, um... [thoughtful.] The prince has stood in lava before! Just straight up stood right in it, and burned to death! Melted!
Oh! He got killed by a rat once! I couldn't believe it!
no subject
Woah! So, what - he died twice? That's pretty impressive! Most people just die once!
[MOST????]
no subject
Of course, it's really not that easy to walk out. So he dies, and then comes back through the Styx pool!
no subject
Huh! Wow. So he just keeps dying over and over trying to get outta there? I guess you gotta give someone like that a good grade for determination. Hey, do people not reincarnate where you're from, then?
no subject
Um--it use to be a meadow--my brother, the prince, and I went there sometimes when we were kids--but Phlegethon overflowed, so now it's all lava! Haha!
[IT ISNT HAHA]
no subject
Yeah, that's about what I remember. [Remember from what he's read in philosophy and history. It's fine. ANYWAY--]
Isn't that kinda sad? It'd be much better to spend forever in a meadow than in lava. That's just basically Hell 2.
no subject
[STOP HAHA-ING]
The meadow was nice, yeah, but... we can't help the river overflowed! I guess it just wanted to reunite with the Styx!
no subject
[HE SAYS RIGHT BEFORE HE DIES, ALSO STOP HAHAING, ALSO HE'S ALREADY A FUCKING SPIRIT STOP.]
Is the lava still burning? Maybe you can find a way to cool it off! Then new things can grow out of what's left.
no subject
[haha]
Well, I guess you wouldn't if you were one of their ghosts! You'd still be in the mortal world! I'd never see you!
It's still burning. It'll probably burn forever! Only the Styx could cool it... Hm. Good luck moving the Styx!

[Lifting his free hand, pinky extended!]
You know about pinky promises?
no subject
Wow, you're right! We're... friends! I guess if we make a binding vow, it's best friends!
[i hate this, too, but he's reaching out to loop his pinky around mahito's own. he knows what this is, haha! thanks, wrath and lust!]
