[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.]

[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.]

[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.]
touchups: (i think the ocean stole my watery soul)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-24 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[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)

[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!
touchups: (that rattles us to bed)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-25 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
["HAS THE NERVE" STOP BULLYING THIS MAN HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG except for accepting a curse into his life, which is not his fault. Now they're just ouroboros-ing some good and cheerful vibes! Terrible.

At least he will stop smooshing Sloth's cheeks, though he leaves his little demon raccoon paws there for now.]


They're all animals, and they're pretty neat! Ah, it's hard for me to pick a favorite, though... I'll have to think about it! I mean, I'd have to wait until I can use my abilities again anyway, so I have some time.

[Time to plan this HORRENDOUS GIFT.]

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-25 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[MAHITO DOES WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS!! HE JUST DOES WHATEVER AND YALL LET HIM!!!! FOR 6 WEEKS THE LIVING LET HIM AND NOW THE DEAD ARE LETTING HIM!!

Mahito is just radiating the same sort of cozy vibes that a cat sitting in the sun on a windowsill would, gently stroking the sides of Sloth's face. every day my loathing for this flea grows.]


You're sweet. [And he's terrible!!] But I don't wanna keep you waiting too long! Even if you don't mind it, I'm not very patient. All the waiting I've had to do over these last few weeks almost killed me!

[SAID WITH A TWINKLE OF DEMON AMUSEMENT. Haha, dead jokes.]

Ooh, that's too bad, though - I'd love to share an illicit best friend drink! We don't have any ambrosia, but we do have alcohol? And meth.
touchups: (won't you come inside)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-25 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[THE SOUND OF ME RUNNING AT YOU WITH CLOWN SHOES ON]

Wow... You sound ancient! Hah, I'm gonna have to start calling you grandpa at this rate. [STOP STOP WE'RE NOT IN THE LICH UNIVERSE, GOD.

Anyway yeah it's fine, their cheerful feedback loop that absolutely won't end up taking a weird fucking turn because they are both Creatures of a sort. A curse and a chthonic god! Just some normal besties!! Can't believe everyone just left Sloth alone with a curse. Why do people keep leaving these perfectly good lads in Mahito's demon hands? Why does Mahito keep winning?

He moves one hand to gently tug at some of Sloth's hair, for no reason other than because it's there and because it's soft.]


Yeah! We have the wine for it. Probably not at the level a god would want, but, y'know. [Shrugs. AND THEN, CHEERFUL AS EVER:] It's a drug! It feels really nice and gives you a lot of energy.

[Methito... he's out here.]
