[4th Soul] // [Need to stop feelin' like my life is such a mess] [Open]
WHO: Team Soul Eater + any person that comes across them in open areas
WHAT: The super belated catch-all Christmas preparation/celebration log
WHEN: All through December (obviously super backdated in some parts)
WHERE: All over (but probably mostly concentrated in Genessia City proper, I'll try to note in subject lines)
WARNINGS: Silliness? Maybe casual cursing or punching since these are shonen protagonists.
December snuck up on the employee and students of murder death school, after the crisis with Charlotte was put out of the way, another one came up…preparing for Christmas. Shopping! Nobody has time for things like that back at home, it's a weird concept, but they'll try anyway.
Maka especially so considering she's an overachiever.

...But it would really help if there was...maybe...ahhh, no excuses! Get your head in the game, Maka, and persevere!]

[God, Maka, you're about as good at starting conversations as your dad.]
And do you not have a jacket? Aren't you cold? Or do you have some inhuman resistance thing like Kid does.
no subject
1, I'm a demon. Bite me. 2, I'm a demon. Bite me.
[He's just going to grumble to himself and continue to look miserable.]
no subject
[That's a joke, but Maka will approach anyway and sit with him.
Yes, sit with him. Awkwardly moving pudding cups out of the way and all.]
I know it's not my business or whatever, but there seems to be a reason why you're drowning yourself in pudding. Maybe we can talk about it?
no subject
[He rolls his eyes at the first bit.]
It's Overlord stuff. You wouldn't understand.
[He lowers his voice for a second, grumbling more to himself than anything.] Stupid Flonne and her stupid love...
no subject
[Ignoring the Overlord bit because seriously? She's friends with a god, she won't have any of that "you're a human and you wouldn't understand" nonsense.]
Is that what she's into? Love? I got assigned for her in a Secret Santa thing and I don't know what she'd like for Christmas.
no subject
Yeah. Love and those stupid Prism Ragners... she never shuts up about them. Heck, she's got like... 20 seasons of various Sentai stuff on DVD back at our castle...
[He trails off, not really paying much attention to what he's saying anymore. Though his tone betrays more fondness than he'd ever admit to.]
no subject
[She tilts her head as though trying to get a better look at his face, then she smiles.]
You sound like you're really good friends.
no subject
[More than just that really. He'd known it all along but never admitted it to himself. His face darkens a bit.]
I'm the Overlord. I'm not supposed to have friends. Just vassals. An Overlord has to be invincible, ruthless, and entirely independent. Friends are a liability.
no subject
[Honestly, boys are so ridiculous sometimes.]
no subject
Because someone has to. I've seen what happens when an Overlord dies or is unfit for duty. It's about more than just the Netherworld. When my old man died, the Netherworld erupted into wars that threatened to boil over into the Human world, not to mention an Archangel decided it was a great time to goad the humans into invading the Netherworld to "wipe our evil" out for good.
Because one man was weak enough to succumb to love, countless demons died over and over, not to mention the idiot humans who blindly followed their "angel benefectors" and marched to their death a the border of the Netherworld.
Someone has to be strong enough to keep order. Someone has to do it. And I'm that person.
no subject
You know what I've seen? I've seen a person that rejected the idea of being close to anybody else, too. He wrapped himself up, isolated himself, became so fearful of anybody taking advantage of him he even consumed the one person that should be able to understand him and tether him to humanity.
He became known as the Demon God Asura. Chaos and fear were the only types of order that he brought. I'm not gonna say that love is what defeated him, or that love was something that could fix him so late in the game, but...he closed himself off, as a result everything else about him got closed off. He couldn't grow, he couldn't bring change, he was too weak to bring about anything but old stagnate order.
I know it's not my business, but with your attitude...you know how much that hurts people, don't you? It's probably hurt Flonne already.
no subject
You don't get it. I'm the single thing that keeps the infinite hordes of demons from tearing themselves apart or going after Celestia or the human world. For every vassal I have pledging their lives to keep the chaos of the Netherworld in the Netherworld, three are another 10,000 demons that want nothing more than to declare open season on Celestia and the Human world, completely ignoring the long term damage that would cause to the Netherworld itself.
Kidnapping, blackmail, and torture are all on the table. If any of my vassals could be used to manipulate me because I was stupid enough to get too attached, everyone would suffer. Three realms of existence depend on me to be strong enough and detached enough to be the gatekeeper.
If I am swayed by one person, trillions will die within an hour.
no subject
Listen...next time you get the chance to, talk to Kid.
[A pause.]
I'm serious, talk to him, no stupid fighting over my dad or pissing contests of power, whatever, just talk to him. I think he can give you a better perspective on the situation than I can, because he keeps the order of our world, too.
[Then--]
Since you're here, do you want to help me pick out a gift for Flonne? Since you're her friend, you'd know what she'd like better than me.
no subject
[Because Laharl is physically allergic to not being a dick...]
Yeah, I'm sure the guy that wants to eradicate madness is the perfect person to talk to about controlling the ancient unbridled chaos of the Gehenna Plains.
[Have an eye roll.]
Just get her a DVD of one of those Sentai shows and she'll be happy.
no subject
[Doesn't feel that great airing out her friend's family business like that, but hey, it's a known fact so...]
And I don't even know what the hell Sentai shows are, you're coming with me, pal.
no subject
Well goody for him. If he would quit spouting stuff like that, people would take him more seriously.
[Laharl rolls his eyes at the command, popping open another pudding cup.]
Like Hell I am.
no subject
[And she reaches out to grab the closest thing she can--which, since Laharl's shorter than her, happens to be his ahoge.]
If by like hell you mean like NOW, then yes, you're exactly right. Let's move, mighty Overlord.
no subject
[As soon as she grabs, before even starting to pull, he flails a bit. And if she does squeeze she'll find that it's not just hair she's grabbing, but a full-fledged antenna.]
OW! THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, LET GO!
[The greatest tragedy of all though, is the poor pudding cup that tumbles out of his grip and onto the ground, spilling its chocolatey goodness on the pavement.]
no subject
[She tugs upward once, then drops him to the ground--still holding onto the poor abused antenna.]
I'm helping you up so you can come along with me and pick out a gift for Flonne, obviously. I mean, as exciting as drowning yourself in pudding looks, I still don't know what Sentai shows are and would be so grateful for your help.
