Conversations of Delusional People (aka my muses)

[Rae]

Intro:
Rae and Shade are lounging around in a slightly shabby living room that doesn't belong to either of them and that is part of a novel Rae is working on. Shade is currently residing in human form and playing with it's hair.

Me: "*plotting* Is it alright to have Mitch translate the texts instead of you? I mean...I know you know a ton of languages, but...you're a little...lazy."
Shade: "I don't. It gives me more time to work on that spell which, by the way, I'm glad you added. Most people don't want to have a character who works with demonic magic."
Me: "I know. That's why I added it. You're essentially a demon...so...why wouldn't you use demonic magic? *types a sentance or so* I know you have to go soon so I can work with the twins, but...do you mind warning Lady and Credo that we'll all have to do work tomorrow. Including you, I'm using you for Beatrice. Oh, and tell Marcus to get the gang together so we can work on FI?"
Shade: "*yawns and stretches* Of course I can. *sits up straight* I'll go do it now...just so no one complains later. *vanishes*"
Me: "*waits for the scenery to shift back to the muses house**gets up to find the twins*"

(Mental note for myself. >_> Speaking of which...for those interested, the next chapter of FI has nearly 3000 words already...and I'm no where near done.)

[Rae]

Intro:
Rae wanders into the muse house with her laptop and plops down on the sofa next to Vergil. She doesn't notice that he looks a little...odd, or the large, nearly empty glass in his hands.

Me: "*cheerfully chatters about plot ideas for a few minutes**frowns when Vergil doesn't answer**slightly irritated* Well? What do you think?"
Vergil: "*slowly* You...are...a bwitch... *fails at not slurring his words*"
Me: "*blinks**taken aback* Ex...cuse me? "
Vergil: "*a little more slurred* ...an' ign'ant."
Me: "*blinks**finally notices glass* Vergil...are you drunk? -oO-
Vergil: "No! *obviously is*"
Me: "Uh-huh...right. *starts to get up*"
Vergil: "*abruptly drops his glass, pulls his writer back down, and clings to her*"
Me: "*eeps* Er...V-Verge? Lemme go...please?"
Vergil: "*miserably* You like me, righ'? You dun thin' I'm ebil, righ'? *still holding his writer*"
Me: "*awkwardly* Um...of course I like you...I would've kicked you out ages ago if I didn't...and...no, I don't think you're evil...just a little...misguided. *hesitates* Could you please let me up?"
Vergil: "*looks sad and confused and doesn't move* "
Me: "Er...please? I need to go throttle someone."
Vergil: "*perks up* Dante?"
Me: "Quite possibly. Move, please?"
Vergil: "*sighs contentedly* He relly pishes me owf.... *looks oddly happy about that*"
Me: "*trying not to freak out* Uh-huh...so I noticed."
Vergil: "*finally lets go of his writer and stares cotentedly off into space*"
Me: "*leaves the room quickly**closes door behind her**storms into room Dante's lounging and playing video games in* DAAAAAAAANTEEEEE! "
Dante: "*jumps**pauses game**stares nervously at Rae* H-Hey, babe."
Me: " WHAT THE F*** DID YOU DO TO YOUR BROTHER?!"
Dante: "*confused* What the hell are you talkin' about?"
Me: "'WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?!' HE'S DRUNK! HE'S BROODING AND MOPING AND ACTING BI-F***ING-POLAR! "
Dante: "*wants to laugh but is kinda scared of Rae right now* What's that gotta do with me?"
Me: "*goes very, very quiet* Who. Gave. Him. The. F***. Ing. Drink?"
Dante: "*gulps and backs up, unconsciously reaching for Ebony and Ivory, only to find that they're not there**blinks* --the hell?"
Me: "*slowly approaches him**icily* Don't play games with me, little boy. Did you or did you not get him drunk? Cuz, so help me god, if you did and you lie to me, I'm gonna kick your @ss out on the street faster than you can say 'Jackpot' and--"
Dante: "*attempts to talk over Rae* I didn't do it, babe."
Me: "*doesn't hear him* I'm gonna make you regret it so bad, boy."
Dante: "*loudly* It was Marcus."
Me: "*blinks* Marcus? *grrs and storms off**bursts into the room where Marcus is attempting to learn to play Seeds of Love* D@mn you, Marcus. Why'd you do it?"
Marcus: "Do what? *confused*"
Me: "Get Vergil drunk. Why? What's he ever done to you?"
Marcus: "Uh...nothing. I didn't do it."
Me: "*can tell he's not lying**getting ticked* Okay...then who did?"
Marcus: "*plays a bit more of the song* Oh, I'm sure you'll find out soon enough. It's amazing how things hide in plain site around here. Night, love."
Me: "*thoughtfully* Night....*wanders around the house for a while, questioning muses*"
-about half an hour later-
Shade: "*dividing hundred dollar bills into two stacks as it sits on a sofa**thoughtfully* Do you think she will figure out it was me?"
Dante: "*lounging on the sofa next to Shade**carelessly* Don't know, don't care."
Shade: "*mutters* Men. *finishes counting out the money**hands Dante one of the stacks* There. Now we are completely even. Pleasure doing buisiness with you."
Dante: "*quickly counts the bills before pocketing them* The pleasure was all mine, babe. *stands up, stretches, and turns to the door to leave**freezes*"
Shade: "*pockets it's money, gives Dante an odd look, and turns to go**also freezes**curses*"
Me: "*standing between them and the doorway* You, two! *so mad she can barely talk**splutters a sec* GROUNDED! Both of you! No pizza, no ice cream, no keg, no candied human remains. No nothing! You're both grounded indefinitely. Do you understand me?"
Dante: "*looks horrified**doesn't say anything*"
Shade: "*has nothing to say* ...."
Me: "*grrs and storms back down into the living room*"
Vergil: "*stares at Rae like a puppy dog**clings*"
Me: "Oompf! *sighs and attempts to push him off**gives up* MUSES! LIVING ROOM, NOW! *waits for muses to show up**ignores odd looks they're all giving her* As of this moment, none of you are allowed to get another muse drunk. If you do, and I find out, I will lock you in the closet. Another house rule, no one is allowed to give Vergil Long Island Iced Tea. *ignores snickers* We all know he can't seem to handle it, so...don't even think about it...or I'll lock you in the closet with the Assault, got it? *waits for everyone's acknowledgement**lets them go**sighs and tugs on Vergil's hand* C'mon, hun. Let's get you to bed."

[Rae]

Intro:
Rae is sitting miserably in her room, half curled up on Marcus' lap. Dante is fuming, not so quietly beside them, obviously not liking the new DmC trailer (which can be veiwed here). Enter Vergil, who is wondering what the hell happened to set Dante off this time.

Vergil: "What set you off this time? *pissed*"
Dante: "*also pissed* They f*cked it up! THAT ISN'T ME! *points at paused screen*"
Vergil: "*looks at image**cocks an eyebrow* What exactly am I looking at?"
Me: "*keeping her face as emotionless as possible**impassively* The new DMC trailer. It sent Dante into this tizzy. *ducks vase that Dante threw*"
Vergil: "I see.... *turns to Dante**athoritatively* Get out. Now."
Dante: "*opens his mouth to protest*"
Me: "No...I agree. You should go and cool off, Dante. *whispers* Marcus? Mind taking him out of the room for a moment?"
Marcus: "*vanishes and reappears next to Dante* No problem, kid. *vanishes with Dante*"
Vergil: "Now that the nuisance has removed itself...show me. *sits down next to his writer*"
Me: "*nods**plays it**turns to watch Vergil's reaction*"
Vergil: "*has nothing to say* ...."
Me: "*quietly* Well? What d'you think?"
Vergil: "*quietly* How does this have anything to do with us?"
Me: "It's a reboot of the series. They're completely changing everything."
Vergil: "*frowning* Play it again. *watches it a couple more times* I...must admit that I am...confused."
Me: "*mutters* Join the club. *normally* What don't you get, Verge?"
Vergil: "Is 'everything' a liable answer?"
Me: "It is. *looks expectantly at him*"
Vergil: "*sighs* Ignoring for a moment that that...boy is not my brother, and if Dante ever did pick up that abhorrent habit.... *trails off giving a dirty look to the cigarette the Dante in the trailer is smoking**regains composure* The city is completely unfamiliar as are the...beings he is fighting."
Me: "Well...according to a pic I saw...I'm thinking the city's called Limbo City. *snickers**thinks the name's ironic* On the subject of the 'beings'...I'm not sure. A few people say they're marrionettes...mum and I think they look like robots. In reality...the more I watch this trailer, the more I think they're really some kind of futuristic scarecrows. I mean, they do the splat thing and when one got up it looked like how scarecrows get up. Also, about why it doesn't look familiar.... *flips over to the DmC wikia page**reads aloud* 'As initial fan reaction to the teaser has been quite negative, Capcom issued a statement clarifing that this game takes place in a different universe'. *looks back at her muse* It's possible that this is the game equivalant of an AU fanfic. Of course, I could just be, as Zany said, in denial. Or...maybe just a little too hopeful that this isn't actually new Devil May Cry, stuff."
Vergil: "*is quiet for a long time**leans back in his chair, rubbing the bridge of his nose**blinks* Did you notice the flash--"
Me: "*cuts him off* At about forty seconds? Yeah. Don't get your hopes up, Verge. It could just be a light inversion...or some picture they flashed to of our Dante. *hoping she's wrong**feels bad for the old DMC characters*"
*a few minutes of absolute silence go by*
Vergil: "Exactly why did you show my brother this video?"
Me: "I didn't. He showed up while Marcus and I were watching it and ranting. So...I kinda had to show him. You know? *sits in silence for a long time**suddenly perks up* I can't wait to show this to Nero. -devious-"
Vergil: "*just stares at his writer like she's gone insane*"

[Rae]

Intro...what intro? >_>

Vergil: "*sighs* Why do you seem to think that if you are louder than me you will win this arguement?"
Me: "Cuz you're hard of hearing? >_>"
Nero: "*snickers*"
Me: "*raises eyebrow* What're you laughing at? You're more hard of hearing than him. *nods towards Vergil, who looks offended*"
Nero: " D: "

[Rae]

Vergil: "*ticked off with the world**sighs* Quelle que soit. Je pars." (Eng trans: Whatever. I'm leaving.)
Lady: "Bye. *could care less*"
Dante: "@_@ Huh? What'd you just say?"
Vergil: "-_- Look it up. *leaves*"

---

Which just proves...that Dante needs a dictionary. >_> And Vergil needs anger management classes.

[Rae]

Dante: "It's not our fault. It's the damn game's fault."
Me: "*grring* Vergil wouldn't give me this much trouble."
Dante: " Don't you start on that again!"
Me: "Oh, yeah? Try me, Dante!"
-argue-

(Gods, someone save me from these crazy people. )

[Rae]

Marcus: "*watching his writer and frowing*"
Kai: "*comes over**gives Marcus a curious look*"
Marcus: "*quietly* I can't figure it out...is she depressed again or not?"
Kai: "*serenely* I think she's just dissapointed."
Marcus: "*confused* In what?"
Kai: "*smiles at him* What do you think would make a woman who almost always has only herself miserable?"
Marcus: "Ah. *gets it**perks up* Let's get cookies and cheer her up."
Kai: "*refrains herself form facepalming and sighs*"

[clairavance]

*hugs*

[Rae]

-hugs- Thankies. I hope you're doing okay.

[Rae]

Marcus: "*singing and dancing*"
Atty: "*blinks* Aunty Rae? Is Uncle Marcus on somethin'?"
Me: "*picks him up**carries him up to bed* Yes...yes, he is. Sugar. Lots of it."
Atty: "*ponders* Can I be on it, too?"
Me: "*facepalms*"

[Rae]

Me: "*frustrated**trying to write**has a sudden block and the urge to read**sighs**looks over at Vergil* What book are you reading?"
Vergil: "*just holds the book up a little so Rae can see the title, but doesn't stop reading*"
Me: "*facepalms* If you keeps reading the Divine Comedy, I'm never gonna get this done...all I wanna do now is read it."
Vergil: "*closes book**glares at Rae**snappishly* How else do you expect me to give you ideas, when you're attempting to draw inspiration from these books?"
Me: "The old fashion way: spouting the first idea that comes to your mind."
Vergil" "*glares, but thinks it over**suddenly smiles, thuroughly creeping Rae out* I have a better idea."
Me: "Meep. This doesn't have anything to do with taking me to hell...does it?"
Vergil: "*steps closer to his writer**still smiling oddly* As a matter of fact, it does."
Me: " Er...I...uh... *looks around* I gotta go do dishes. *runs away from him as fast as she can*"
Vergil: "*stops smiling**sits back down with his book and goes back to reading*"

[Rae]

Intro: Atty and Gus are in their bedroom, getting ready for Halloween.

Atty: "*fidgets**tugs on his costume* I think I made a mistake, bro."
Gus: "What? *adjusting his wings*"
Atty: "*tugs more on costume* This damn thing won't stop riding up. "
Gus: "*blinks**stares at Atty* What are you supposed to be, anyway?"
Atty: " Stevie. *gives him a weird look* Are...uh...you goin' as an angel? *snickers*"
Gus: "*raises an eyebrow* Yes. Was there something you wanted to say?"
Atty: "*innocently* No.... *turns away to mess with his costume**under his breath* Bird brain."
Gus: "*cooly* Lizard boy."
Kai: "*sighs and leaves them to bicker*"

[raven1972]

LOL atty and gus sound like me and my brother as kids on Halloween XD

[Rae]

(Warning: Contains spoilers for Rebellion chapter...something: The Point Of No Return.)
“Vergil?” Kyrie asked quietly. She turned to face him and was surprised that he was actually closer to her than she’d thought. “What if they find out?”
The half-devil sent her a probing look that plainly said that she needed to stop assuming he could read her mind, before returning to his task of cleaning Yamato. Kyrie flushed.
“I just mean…what if they find out what we’re really doing out here and they try to…kill us?”
Very slowly, Vergil smiled.

Kyrie: "Oh, no. *hides her face in her hands*"
Me: "D: What'd I do wrong?"
Kyrie: "He's smiling"
Me: "Er..yeah? And? He's amused. "
Kyrie: "But...but it's creepy. >_< I hate it...."
Me: "*blinks**looks over at Vergil* Er...how is it creepy? I don't see it...."
Kyrie: "*gives Rae a disbelieving look**leaves*"
Me: "...what was that about?"
Vergil: "You expect me to know...why, again?"
Me: "*rolls her eyes**brightens up* I have an idea.... *goes back to the last line and edits*"

Very slowly, Vergil smiled and Kyrie’s heart seemed to stop. It was a secretly amused little smile that sent shivers through the girl. Never before had such a small action made her think so strongly of death, destruction, and carnage. As if noting her reaction, Vergil stopped smiling; though it lingered in his blue eyes and the corners of his mouth.
“Should it occur, we’ll deal with it then,” he replied impassively, running a cloth along the length of his katana’s blade before sheathing it with a small click.
Kyrie looked back down at her plate, the desire to eat completely gone. She slid the remains of her dinner into a small pouch and sealed it before putting it away. As she wandered over to her make-shift bed and climbed under the blankets, she decided that if seeing Vergil smile was creepy, she didn’t want to see him if he ever acted like a normal person.
The girl stared up at the tent roof, listening to the soft sounds of the rain and her companion, and before long fell asleep.

[Rae]

Intro:
It's getting dark. Rae's in her grandparent's office, doing research on their computer and working on Rebellion and her notes. Marcus is laying atop the roll-top desk. Dante is laying on the floor playing...some card game or another with Nero, who's winning. Vergil is sitting in the only chair besides the desk chair in the room (which he snagged as soon as Rae said they'd be working in the office and which no one else was too fussed about, since it's extremely uncomfortable) and Kyrie is sitting on the floor beside him, going back and forth between looking at Nero and Dante's game and looking at what Vergil's reading. Shade, Sparda, and Credo (much to Rae's displeasure) are chatting in the empty living room. Rae is very glad that her grandparents aren't home and can't see her muses, because she's sure they'd have heart attacks if they saw a giant purpley-red demon sitting on their sofa. Rae also doesn't know why Sparda showed up at all. :/

Me: "*typetype**typetype**stares at screen**scribbles something down**typetype typpity type*"
Marcus: "*sleepy**yawns**boredly* So...just tell me one thing. What're you researching again?"
Me: "*suppresses a yawn**looks over toward Vergil and Kyrie then looks back toward the computer* Fever symptoms and abscesses."
Vergil: "*quirks an eyebrow but doesn't look up from his book* Might I ask why?"
Me: "Er...."
Marcus: "Wait.... *sits up with his legs dangling over the side of the desk* What's an abscess?"
Me: "*exchanges looks with Vergil* Um...it's...it's uh...a collection of pus residing in a cavity of skin created by infection from either a parasite or a 'foreign object', like a knife or a bullet wound...."
Marcus: "*blinks**trying to forget the mental image he got* Do you have an obsession with pus in this fic or something?"
Me: "Huh? "
Vergil: "He has a point...you've mentioned pustules about half a dozen times so far...."
Me: "D: Oh, sh*t. I did, didn't I? *freaks out**wonders how to fix that*"
Dante: "*places a bet* You should be a doctor, Rae. You like all that freaky stuff. You could make some money."
Me: "*fidgets* No...I couldn't be a doctor. Blood and me don't mix. :S"
Marcus: "*snickers*"
Twins: "What happens? *glares at each other*"
Me: "Er...I get sick feeling...then I get hungry. :/"
Muses: "...."
Me: "*notices something**perks up* Ooh, look! New email! =D *goes to check it*"
