Call Me Out - Once Upon Post-Game Threads!

[vogelfrei]

McGillis will spend the majority of his time with Hamelin, Jack and Yuri - they will establish a real household in the Beldam dimension as soon as they are capable of using those powers properly. Come visit! Or plot something else out with me under AppleBlossoms!

[ McGillis watches the man scuttle off with his eyebrow still up in the air. A tasteless person like that is a dime a dozen but still unpleasant to encounter. ]

I hardly did anything.

[ His expression turns into a thin smile as he faces Suga again. ]

No improvement to the rumor mill then, even now?

[gemuinemanagement]

Even if I told them how I got my voice back they wouldn't believe me, just like they haven't believed anything I've had to say for the last decade. I didn't bother explaining.

It doesn't matter. I have things I have to do here and no one's opinion of me is going to change that.

[He's used to it, even if it is still a little tiring.]

[vogelfrei]

I'm now going to suggest you at least fight back and make them avoid you instead, but I assume that is not advice you are amenable to.

[ It's just what HE did when everyone hated him. Break a few kneecaps, maybe kill a person... it helps. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

Most of them already avoid me unless they want something that I'm in the way of. But I appreciate the advice?

[vogelfrei]

Ah.

I'm glad to hear that performance was an exception then. I only caught the tail end of it, but such a thing is always grating.

How are you doing other than that?

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm doing well. Yuuta's thinking about going to college - maybe for journalism? - and I'm very excited for him.

Oh - I have something for you.

[Suga retrieves from his desk a bracelet made of a light blue stone, glowing faintly.]

[vogelfrei]

[ ... oh, indeed. McGillis blinks in confusion. He's not going to have the 'you're too goodnatured and too nice to me after everything' conversation yet again, so instead he's just... looking at that bracelet like it's something he's never seen before. ]

... I'm not sure I have a need for something like this, but... thank you.

[gemuinemanagement]

[That conversation wouldn't go any differently this time than the last one.]

Huisang's world has spirits. You should take it just in case.

[vogelfrei]

[ He will indeed take it and turn it in his hands. It's pretty craftsmanship, that is for sure. ]

... it also has a frankly shocking amount of zombies. It's an interesting place.

[gemuinemanagement]

Interesting is a word for it.

How is he doing?

[vogelfrei]

Well. He had the time of his life parading me around his sect two weeks ago.

[ Though the phrasing seems a little ironic, McGillis' smile is rather fond. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

Absolutely. I can promise showing off your good-looking boyfriend to everyone you know is very fun.

[All the more so if they hate you!]

[vogelfrei]

[ McGillis huffs in amusement at that. It's the simple pleasures in life... ]

Has he been integrating well here? C-ta, I mean.

1/2

[gemuinemanagement]

He has. It's a lot quieter than the city life he's used to, but he's adjusting to it well. He's also been making some friends here despite the handicap of being my boyfriend.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga's expression turns into something more genuinely annoyed than McGillis has seen out of him, including during the murder.]

Last week a guy hit on him right in front of me. Can you believe the nerve of some people?

[vogelfrei]

[ How is this the angriest he's ever seen the guy?? Not when C-ta betrayed him? When he killed him? Any OTHER time??

Priorities........... ]

People have always been and will always be vulgar and tasteless. I imagine C-ta made them regret the advances though.

[ Considering how scary he gets about Suga... ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[The murder wasn't personal? It's kind of hard not to take someone hitting on your boyfriend right in front of you personally.]

Me and Pericles did, actually. It's really easy to convince someone that they've snapped when a bird starts talking to them.
