☠ 2nd Death

WHO: Marde Guille & OPEN
WHAT: Marde Guille's on his expedition to find information would be useful for him towards getting E.N.D. out and possibly forcing something useful from the resident NPCs. It's not pretty of course, but he disposed of them pretty well.
WHEN 01/05
WHERE: Eerie locations of Everglade & Library

LIBRARY

There's a strange young man, who possibly seems to be immersed in piles of book in the deepest corner of the library. Of course, nothing he's gone through had been useful, but he made his presence unknown to most of the people around him. As Tartarus worked, they were rather secretive and ominous, blending into normal society as if they were not demons to begin with. This particular individual had a rather collected look on his face, madness clouded with and almost pleasant aura. Though, he's not much of a conversationalist among humans. Never mind that there had been some unsightly deaths curled around the library's darkest corners. It was unfortunate that he had not gotten anything useful from the so mortal residential npcs.

Anyone brave enough to question the bodies? They certainly won't find an answer since Marde Guille had no stains on his clothes.

EVERGLADE

Everglade was easier to hide dead bodies. It's been a while since he let himself loose like that. There's no trace of blood on him, as Marde Guille was an excessively phenomenal killer. He was sitting at the ledge of stone as he watched the bodies become nothing but mush, and then perhaps then vanishing with his curse. A clean way to dispose of bodies. He didn't get much information from them so their usefulness was up. There was also the precautionary measure that he didn't let anyone know what he was after or what knowledge he was trying to obtain. So far, nothing was useful to him and he had yet to figure out the plans of how he could take the charms from the city as Zeref said. As Zeref also let him know was that he had to be very good at what he did, since Tartarus was good at undercover business.

He had taken on a few silly jobs for some terribly god awful human beings. The rewards? Well, they were used for Tatarus' main guild and those who request him for jobs, were never seen again. He stood up seemingly bored with the surrounding scenery. Another day, where useful information was not obtained. How annoying.

Koishi would occasionally go into the library. The smell of books reminded her of home. Today, however, she had entered the library for a very different reason. The distressed minds of several humans had met her attention, quieting just as quickly. Following her nose and the lingering psychic energy she quickly entered the library in search of the cause...

---

"Hey... Hey mister!" Koishi poked gently at Marde Guille's side. She had tied both of her sleeves back and her mouth was a little bloody. "Hello Mister! Do you remember me? You shouldn't kill humans inside. It smells bad." She raised the severed arm of one of the humans, biting off a chunk of meat. Despite this she was being surprisingly neat. "I was really hungry though, so thank you!"

[Rikku was doing her duty as Deputy Guardian in Everglade. She was simply patrolling per usual when she came across the suspicious man. She wouldn't have thought much of it had she not seen these bodies disappear. She was certain she saw bodies for sure, but what happened to them was beyond her.]

Excuse me. May I ask what your business is here?

[She was ready at any moment to draw her weapons if need be, but for now she'll leave them where they are.]

Blood stains are not the only way to determine the cause behind death. Bei Dou, as a god of death, can easily tell just what, and who, caused the demise of these unimportant characters.

Because unimportant, they are. They have managed to gain the ultimate beauty of nothingness, of course, but he is still not interested in some empty minded drones, whos thoughts were of too little amusement to even listen to even for the sake of fleeting entertainment.

No, he was more interested in the stranger who caused it, and, with the company of a few of his snakes - as immortal and ancient as he - approaches. "Not finding anything worthy of interest?"

There's a cat-man just... appearing. He's got one arm and he's wearing a pleasant smile on his face as he peers down at the mushy mush. "I must say," he brushes some hair out of his face with his only hand, "you never know what to expect in these kind of places. How impossibly curious."

Ah, the subtly disturbing presence that he hadn't felt in a long time. It helped that she was eating up the mess for him. Of course, her words were left untouched, seeing he never cared about the smell of rotting bodies. He was always good at disposing them enough so that nothing was led to him. There are people who did know what he did, and they were mostly against it.

People like... Koishi was it?-- were special cases in which glorified his type of slaughter but in a sort of strange way for her. He lowered the book as she spoke to him.

"Ah-- the strange child," he replied, his expression remained almost pleasant as she greeted, "Marde Guille recalls saying that he does not care for the smell," he replied, though he was definitely piqued by her interesting reaction following her comment. He raised a brow.

[ It looked human and probably reeked of human and he was already perturbed by it. the King of Hades turned to her, seemingly condescending as she tried to ask him what he had done. ]

Nothing that a human needs to be aware of.

[ He replied giving her a an almost sneer. Self righteous humans trying to play heroes. Every time. They annoyed him. ]

"No. A rather useful display of information," and Marde Guille was not afraid to say just that. Genessia was designed to keep them trapped and Marde Guille was already aware of the information obtaining portion being difficult. Not that it stopped him from doing what he wanted to do.

The person that entered the library--judging from his own instincts was not human. Something about them did not smell or reek of what he despised. Though, he was not really into the righteous type if the man turned out to be such. It seems the people of this world can't do anything but bother him.

Marde Guille looked over at him as he commented. Another being that did not appear to be human. He didn't care for them, as long as they weren't humans. Humans were the most vile things to him after all. They ruin the world, they're selfish, and self righteous. It made him sick.

"Is that so?"

His reply was simple, even.

She perked up as he aknoledged her. Considering her powers she could have been standing by him for quite awhile and he never notice. Though she probably hadn't been there for too long if her previous comment about disliking being around dying humans was true. And while Koishi didn't really glorify his type of slaughter she certainly didn't seem to mind it. Or, at least, mind when he was just killing random people She probably had human acquaintances and no doubt she would mind if they were touched.

She took another bite of the arm, her sharp little teeth hitting bone. A pause... and a chunk of the harder substance broke off, the little youkai crunching away merrily. "Yeah! That's why you should put the corpses outside so that things can eat them and they wont smell. Preferably in the shade. Sunny places would make things worse."

Another bite, the satori's bright eyes drifting down to the book in his hand. "... Whatcha doin?"

Human or not, I am in charge of making sure people are safe and sound. So it is something that I should be aware of.

"Really." He could make it sound like a question but, he's not intrigued enough to ask.

"One would think that minds such as these unsophisticated ones" he moves over and touches one of the corpses with a casual movement, not the slightest bit bothered by the feeling of dying skin beneath his bandaged fingertips. "would provide little entertainment." A thin snake slithers up his leg and out over his arm, and into the corpse. "Although they seem to be well enough as fodder."

That suited him well enough. Short and simple.

The cat waltzes over, curious the way only a cat is curious, and his nose might twitch a little bit, just once. "Why of course." He puts his hand into a jacket pocket. "When one never know quite what to expect, life simply cannot be dull."

The demon shifts waving the book he was staring at about, but there's a rather ominous book that's within his grasp since he's been here. the large letters read E.N.D. Somehow, he's not so hot on giving it to Zeref anymore. At least, not from his memory of what happened to the book when Zeref got his hands on it.

Somehow, he didn't feel like he should be doing much for his creator now. He's a bit seething but of course, a demon like Marde had to keep himself in check. He couldn't lose himself in the sea of emotions.

"The only thing entertaining were their screams and Yes, really."

He seemingly almost shrugged, eying the snake around the other's leg.

"If you are looking for amusement, Marde Guille is not here to provide it."

The King of Hades replied as a matter of fact, somewhat disregarding most of his comment, "What business do you have with this Marde Guille?"

Oh-- is that so?

[ There's a sneer on his face. ]

Unfortunately, you were a little too late human.

Marde Guille had concentrated enough to feel her presence as usual. He could not forget the sensation that was Koishi. A rare breed of monster like him, whom fed on corpses, though at the same time felt sorry for them. Now, that was indeed unfortunate. He didn't seem to mind or care that she was feeding for her own self. He was more amused that she had the gall to even mention his treatment of humans.

Marde Guille did what he pleased, and not even Koishi would be able to boss him around.

"Filthy things are not to be touched. They're hardly considered food."

The demon replied closing the book.

"They aren't filthy yet. Once they start to really rot. Then they're filthy." Another bite, her teeth again easily cracking through both bones in the arm. She chewed for a moment and swallowed. "Right now they're really fresh and good." At least she wasn't talking with her mouth full. "Perfect for hungry youkai. But they also bleed a lot."

She was about to take another bite, pausing... "Hey Mister? What do you like to eat?" Her third eye swayed, hovering a bit closer, examining him as it did the last time. "Because there are lots of things that are really delicious. We should try them sometime."

"Also, what are you looking at? Books are really nice. Sis likes to write a lot of them but we don't have this many at home. We do have a room full of them and it smells like wood pulp and ink. Just like it does in here. It's a really really nice smell. One of my favorites!"

"Have you never met a cat before, mister?" He chimes and cheerfully tips his head to the side. "They're very curious. And you're doing something that picks on my curiosity."

"It does not matter, what state."

They only serve as fertilizer for his thorns, but even that was a luxury, really. He watched, unfeeling at the demon crunching at the bones of the dead sacks of flesh. At least, he knew there's someone there to clean up the mess for him, really. He didn't seem to mind it as much. Again, Koishi was something useful to keep around.

He presence was unique, and useful.

"Marde Guille has little need for such things as nourishment."

Food and such were tied together with humans and humans were not something he was. He watched the third eye hover around him, as she talked with him. Marde Guille doubted he would like anything really. Human food, and human delicacies never really affected him.

"Information."

He mused, flipping another page. Again, there was hardly any useful information.

"Does it?"

"A cat, you say?" he raised a brow, though seemingly not as cheerful as the supposed cat at his presence, "Does it now?"

He was not in the mood to play games. Was it going to tattle? What was it planning? It certainly didn't look human.

No. I may be too late for whomever you just harmed, but I can still act accordingly.

I hate humans like you, sticking their noses where it doesn't belong.

[ His expression remained cold. ]

Do you wish to die that much?

"Yes it does. Filthy things aren't delicious. And they're still delicious right now!" As if to make her point Koishi munched the rest of the arm down to the wrist in three quick bits, taking a moment to chew before finishing her unusual meal, bones, tendons, and all.

She paused, swallowing. "Lots of different creatures where I'm from don't have to eat at all. But they do anyway sometimes because things taste good and it makes them feel good. Especially cake. Have you ever had cake?" A pause. "Milkshakes! Yo need to try one! I think I said it before. I bet you'd like it a lot!"

She seemed to calm down after several moments of babbling about sweets and how she enjoyed them, eventually turning her gaze down to him once more. "... You look bored. What kind of information are you looking for? Do you want help? I'm good at helping sometimes."

I won't die.

[She should be ready to draw her weapons at any point, but she'll wait for a moment.]

Bei Dou watches the book for a few moments, wondering what was in it. He had never really cared much about books - and the era he comes from focuses more on verbal information than written, and it has done so for century upon century. He is able to read minds, and is able to send his own thoughts into others.

But knowing didn't feel pressing.

"I can imagine." He does enjoy listening to screams of fear and pain, and has been berated for it by Nan Dou on occasion. Not that he cares what the Overseer of Life says; as Overseer of Death, he can freely be cruel whenever he wants to. "How sad, that all things have to reach an end." Although he could revive the dead and make them suffer more, of course. But at the moment, they were, at least their insides, being devoured by snakes.

"That's right, I'm a sad little pet cat." Not that he ever appears very sad in front of others, but that's just a minor detail. "But, if I may ask? Why are you doing this?"

"Is that so?"

He still found them repulsive alive or not. They're disgusting humans. He had no use for them and he was done with them when he was done with them. That was how it worked with Marde. Unfortunately, he seemed to have a little helper, whether he chose to or not.

She still spoke quite a lot. He waved his fingers round toying with his thorns that were still wrapped around one of the last bodies.

"Marde Guille has little interest in such feeble things. Sustenance is not something Marde Guille requires."

They were human food, human nutrition. He would not be caught ingesting that.

"Marde Guille has no reason to disclose such information."

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

[ He replied. He had little time to play games with self righteous humans. ]

Verbal information led Marde Guille to what he needed and it was easier that way. Then again, the books could be telling him lies just as the word of mouth from people. Nothing seemed to be that easily obtained and the King of Hades knew that much.

"Is that so?" he replied raising a brow. A seemingly strange man had approached him, sharing something he might have not expected, but it would be a lie to say that Marde Guille wasn't intrigued by it.

"Ending-- no longer existing, such things are part of the cycle."

"Oh?"

He seemed to be a slight bit interested by the cat's response. He doesn't need to know, seeing he hardly cared about anyone. He's not one to talk about his plans or what he is doing.

"That, Marde Guille has no reason to answer."

She was hovering uncomfortably close now, her third eye nudging his shoulder, her chilly presence brushing across the surface of his mind. Her actions weren't enough to get in the way of his work, but they were certainly in his space.

"Milkshakes aren't feeble. They're really thick unless you let them melt. I bet you would like them. Also, sustenance isn't the point of milkshakes. The point is they taste good!" She reached into her pocket, pulling out a little money. "I can buy them. Do you like strawberries? Or vanilla? Or maybe chocolate?" She was really relentless...

A pause, Koishi looking up from the money in her hand. "Mister... You have a lot of pride. You know that, right?" She licked some blood off of one finger, licking her lips clean. "And you're really strong too so there's a good reason for that pride. Sometimes it's better to ask for help though. Because getting help can make things a lot easier."

Edited 2015-01-26 20:54 (UTC)

He moved his head aside to avoid anymore close contact with the creature. It was not his style to be close to anyone, but even with that, he managed to gracefully keep his posture in check. Everything he did seemed rather effortless and elegant. Such as the King of Hades, he supposed. He was a very arrogant demon.

"They sound repulsive. Marde Guille has no use for tasteful things."

Again, the idea of him consuming anything at this point was not going to happen, no matter how hard she was trying to push it on him.

"Those who are powerful have the right to be prideful. Marde Guille is one of the strongest Demons of Zeref's Books. It is only natural to have confidence in Marde Guille's abilities."

Oh. Okay." She didn't seem to get the hint when he leaned away from her, but her third eye did float back, Koishi readjusting herself in the air. Her mental presence remained, however it remained on the surface.

"I know. Unless the power gets in the way of things. Then its bad. But I know a bunch of youkai who are really powerful or smart or quick and they're proud of what they do. And I bet you've done a lot of great things too." Her voice didn't sound condescending at all. It was completely sincere, her third eye open a fraction, a sliver of white visible. "But you shouldn't be too proud either because I want to help you. I don't have a magic book searching power but I might know where you can find it. I know a lot of things too."

Fortunately she didn't bring up the milkshake again. Or eating in general. Hopefully it would stay that way... hopefully.

"Heh," a short mocking laugh at him as he tossed the book aside. E.N.D's book was fully grasped in his other arm as she unfolded his legs, and stood up. Ah the source of knowledge here was useless as well. He wondered why he would stoop so low as to read them. Humans are useless, an failures. Even the ones in Genessia are dull and stupid.

"Marde Guille has done things that not many others have done," including the Guild of E.N.D. that he had seriously taking care of for the benefit of every one of the Demons of Tartaros. He watched it with some fascination in attempts to observe it and see what it was capable of. She always mentally nudged him in strange ways. Such a freakish creature, yet powerful.

"Is that so?" he mused, a raised brow at the comment. It was good that she didn't. He would further turn her down.

Koishi nodded as he spoke, her expression unchaning, though her third eye began swaying in a wide bowl like pattern, her outline becoming less defined. Likewise her psychic presence seemed to melt, moving here and there, almost impossible to keep track of it... But it also wasn't in any shape to understand anything it came into contact with. After a moment she shook her head, her outline sharpening quickly, her mental presence pulling itself together, her presence rippling, a little less controlled, before settling down once more.

"I'm sorry my head is tired right now. So sometimes its hard to think." She smiled again. "It's normal for me so don't worry, okay?" She reached out to take her eye. It was slightly open again.

She drifted a bit to one side, moving more in front of him, tilting her head and entire upper torso to one side. "I can't help youuu unless you tell me what it is you waaaaaaant. I'm not a mind reader... Well, anymore."

Such a fascinating thing that he needed to further experiment on. She was an existence that existed when it was needed and shifted out of it when it seemed vague. It was rather intriguing to him. Of course, though he didn't say anything but focused on keeping her presence in his mind.

He blankly stared at it for a moment, her eye before she spoke again. He ignored her first statement.

"I don't require assistance. The information will eventually, make itself known. Humans are such slow creatures. They're hardly useful."

"Ohhh Okay." She leaned in invasively close, looking down at the titles of the books he was sifting through. "If you ever do need help you can ask me, okay? I'm really bored most of the time and I bet helping would be really really fun." She tugged a little cloth out of her sleeve, wiping her hands and mouth on it to clean them before unpinning her sleeves.

She looked up at him, brightening once more. "Do you like animals mister?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out... A hamster? Yes that was a hamster. No doubt about it. It was a golden color with a white belly and two little smears of black or dark brown on its neck.

"This is Itokuzu. She likes strawberries the best. Hamsters are really soft and feel nice to hold and pet. Also they're really cute. Do you like cute things?"

And one could not steal information as easily, if it was verbal. Except if one had specific gifts for it, of course.

"Perhaps." He couldn't be too specific, could he? It was not what gods were supposed to do, after all. And he was not one to interfere all that much, unless he had some form of entertainment to gain from it.

"True. And the ending is the best part to see, as well." How many endings has he not seen? Lives, eras, kingdoms...

Something that would be useful if Marde Guille had that ability, though, even if he did, he was merely a demon and nothing more. Demons had their limits, even if he was one of the strongest of his kind.

"Perhaps?" he mused, seemingly unfazed, while waiting for an answer. He's never had the luxury of meeting a god, so, this might be a learning experience for him.

"In more ways than one. It can bring forth a new beginning."

It would be quite the intriguing thing to meet his creator. After all, even demons had to come from somewhere, and Bei Dou created his own warriors of darkness. Though not for soldiers to have at his command, but rather to have rebellious puppies to mess with, to see how far he can go before they try to bite his hand off.

"Perhaps," he repeats. It won't be as easy as that to get him to continue his train of thought. The demon seems interesting, but not so interesting that he would share wisdom just like that.

"And would you be looking for any particular new beginning after any particular end?"

Marde Guille was not like Zeref, who could create things with his magic and books. He himself, was a creature created from one of Zeref's books. It was only natural that he would feel entitled because of Zeref was his creator, and he might as well be a god. However, Marde Guille was starting to see that he might not just be the same Zeref.

"If I am?"

He mused, as a matter-of-fact. Marde Guile wanted destruction of the human race, and he would go through any lengths to obtain t hat goal for Tataros, for E.N.D. and for Zeref. After all he was made to kill Zeref. At least, that was what they were conditioned to believe.
