[HATE THIS DESCRIPTION AND HOW ACCURATE IT IS BUT WOW IS IT ACCURATE. And wow, all of these earnest and cheerful vibes?! They're going to become an ouroboros of cheer, because Mahito is also a cheery creature despite being horrendous as fuck.

HE GRABS SLOTH'S FACE IN HIS DEMON HANDS. Instead of, y'know, trying to actually scramble upright again. They're just vibin in the sand now, it's fine.]


It's really nice, right? And it's the perfect temperature here! Sometimes the sun gets too hot and it burns you, but Dagon's beach is always just right. Oh - we still have seats with shade, though! Just in case. They're nice, too!

[THEIR BEACH CHAIRS.]

[Helpfully, Mahito will pull his hands away from Sloth's cheeks and instead use them as a makeshift visor to keep his delicate eyeballs shielded from the worst of the sunlight. The fangs also catch a curious glance, and he immediately abandons his self-assigned eye protecting task to reach down and poke one. Stop TOUCHING PEOPLE'S BONES MAHITO.]

Yeah, we did! Not bad, huh? It's a beach that belongs to a friend of mine, too! [HE LOVES IT.] Usually there are birds and crabs and things like that. It's always calming, being here. --Ah, did you wanna go sit in the chairs?

[Like sitting in the sand is not a comfortable option...]
touchups: (me and you are overdue)

[This betrayal...]

It is! It's really good! Reminds me of home. [Ah, the wave of jolly nostalgia... Maybe there's a little bit of longing there, too. He misses his curse fambly.

BUT IT'S FINE. He's pushing himself up off of Sloth and the ground, reaching for his hands.]


You can keep your eyes shut! I'll lead the way.

[Danger.]
touchups: (you're hunting for love)

[he murks sloth in cold blood

Nah just kidding, he's not currently in the mood to attempt murdering his bestie, who is immortal anyway! He just gives his hands a gentle squeeze and starts guiding them over to the beach chairs.]


It's nice to have a little slice of home, right? After being away for so long, especially! Here, here--

[Into a chair they go! It's Mahito's chair, because they are best friends and thus are allowed to share.

Mahito also gets into the same chair, fuckin half-draped over Sloth. i hate it here]
touchups: (finally what you hope to find)

[it'd be fine if he sat ass-first in the sand, that's what his hat for his ass is for.

CAN'T BELIEVE THEY REALLY ARE JUST VIBIN LIKE THIS. Mahito settles comfortably against him, stretching and stealing some of his cozy hair to cuddle into. And then he's just cuddling into his side, too, like a swaddled demon. something about having to write the word cuddle in a mahito tag almost stole my consciousness]


Right? Isn't it? Dagon has the best beach! The real one is even better, 'cuz you can swim out super far into the water and there are tons and tons of friendly fish out there!

[Well. They are friendly to... Dagon's friends. Haha! Rip to everyone else, they're different.]
touchups: (lift me up to the stars)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-24 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[STOP HIS POOR FEETIES. Unfortunately Mahito will not warn him of the dangers of getting only his feet tanned... He's too busy being cozy, which is truly not what he deserves at all after all of his various crimes.]

Ooh, wow! Really? Would you? That would be so sweet! I bet Dagon would love having some fish from the Underworld swimming around in there. You think they'd get along with the other fish?

[THEY'RE ALL DEMON FISH SO PROBA-FUCKIN-BLY.]
touchups: (plastic blue invitations)

[Sloth shows up later with lobster feet and everyone is like WHAT HAPPENED and he's just like Mahito.

Anyway, he shifts so he can look up at Sloth, curious.]


Chaos Gates? [OF COURSE THAT'S WHAT HAS HIM PERKING UP. To be fair, he recognizes the other three names easily from mythology.]

That's good, though. We can just let them have a little play date first! If they behave nicely, they can live with us.
touchups: (alice in the looking glass)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-24 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! Is it fun, there? What's Chaos like?

[DON'T LIKE THINKING ABOUT IT EITHER BUT NOW MAHITO DEFINITELY IS. There's a sharp spike of interest, still as off-center as the rest of his emotions.]

Mm, if the sun hurts 'em, then maybe Dagon can make a nice shady cove? [He does not know how much a domain can be altered after it's shaped and cast, he only just unlocked his own like a month ago.]

But if they can't adjust, I guess I'll just have to give 'em back. It's no good if they're hurt! Dagon would be sad. [HE CANNOT HAVE THAT BE.] Ah - but hey, I wanna give you something too, then!
touchups: (i'm not gonna hurt you yet)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-24 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[MAHITO KINS CHAOS ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S HIM. THAT'S WHAT HE DID!! He sprang out of the darkness of humanity's hate and fear, which is also very chaotic!! His mood is just vibin', along with Increasing Interest.

Also things I hate: that he's basically rolled so he's mostly lying on Sloth now, and propping himself up on his chest so he can just peer into his face more closely. Please stop him.]


Wow! I knew some of this stuff from mythology, but hearing it like this is way more interesting. D'you think I could meet 'em someday? [LET! HIM! MEET! CHAOS!] It's true, though; humans always love talking about how much sleep and death are alike.

[He looks like he wants to say more, but unfortunately they are all distracted by GIFTS. He nods, and there's some amount of enthusiasm in his emotional spread.]

Yeah! Gift for a gift! But I dunno what to get you... I don't have a ton of stuff. D'you want a human?

[A RAISIN HUMAN.]

[ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS!!!!

Wow though, cute emotions. There's a little cut of fondness on Mahito's end, though in his already skewed emotional spectrum, positive affections are even more off-kilter. It's fine! It's not like he's tried to kill or discussed killing almost everyone he's claimed fondness for or anything, haha. In the meantime, he's just making himself cozy on his new bed, and seems perfectly content for the mutual cuddlefest they are having.]


Huh... We'll see, I guess! [Whether now or in 100 years when he inevitably comes back as an even weirder curse.] That sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.

[FATE DON'T LET HIM ENTER THE GATES OF CHAOS CHALLENGE. Anyway, yeah, he's perking up at that. Sloth's enthusiasm is catchy...]

Yeah, I do! Ah - well, I only have one here, and I already broke that one... [MAHITO.] I usually have a bunch more, though! I can make them super tiny so they're easy to carry around.
touchups: (i'm not gonna hurt you yet)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-24 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHY DID YOU DO THIS!!! YOU WALKED US HERE SOMEHOW. SOMEHOW THIS IS YOUR FAULT.

Mahito has no idea that having little pocket humans could get Sloth into trouble, though!! Look. Little pocket humans are probably bad to have in general, but, like, surely it's chill for a god? Surely! Especially one related to so many aspects of death! It's fine!!

He observes the threads of passing emotion with a sort of muted and detached curiosity, though he seems to respond to excitement like a sounding board.]


I'll get you some ones that are still fleshy, then! [Why.] When they're small, they're like, this big-- [He'll shift and lift a hand so he can show off the rough size.] --and don't really look human. Actually, I've never tried shaping one back into their original human form after I shrink 'em down... Shouldn't be too hard, though! Ah, but I can turn 'em into other shapes if you like that better, too.
touchups: (in my room)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-25 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[STOP LOOK. IT'S yeah it's entirely Mahito's fault and i hate this. Mahito is genuinely just trying to give Sloth a nice thing and is a fucking alien about it for once, though, instead of being actively malicious. As he's found, interacting with non-human things doesn't trigger his Innate Curse Reflexes anywhere near as hard.]

Right? They're kinda cute, I think! [HELp] They turn pretty colors, too! And yeah, I can! [BEAMING. Someone please get Sloth away from MAHITO RIGHT NOW.

He holds his hands out, smushing Sloth's cheeks again.]


I can see and shape souls, after all! And the body just outlines the soul, so I can shape that, too. If you wanted a bird or a fox or a cat or even a bear or elephant or something, I could make one for you! I can make totally new shapes, too!
