towerofanimus | hey guess what I'm not going to put a title

Characters: Vergil and open
Setting: Room 1-04/room 3-07/dorm floors, library and a network video post
Summary: Vergil finds himself in the tower again, he's not into it, and also mom's gone
Format: Starting action, but I can match
Warnings: He's a jerk but I dunno, I'll update if there's anything

Room 1-04
[On one hand, at least he's not in a room with Gamzee anymore. Vergil can appreciate this small blessing. On the other, he's in the tower again. Where he was made to feel victimised, where his powers didn't work in many places. He doesn't waste time reading the letters, he already knows what to expect, and he's already seen the destruction. It made no difference to him, really.

First he checks his trunk for clothes that aren't a bodysuit, and after changing looks through the rest. As it should have been last time, finally, his sword is there. Vergil unsheathes it, making an inspection of the blade, before swinging it once to check the weight. Everything seems in order.

His amulet and a photograph of the woman it had belonged to, his mother, sit together. He slips the amulet around his neck and photograph in his pocket. Finding her and making sure she's safe is important, a photograph might lend some assistance if he's going to check her room.]

Room 3-07 and surrounding area
[Without missing a beat, he immediately goes down to room 3-07, a room he couldn't forget after escorting its resident every day. And without knocking, opens the door, looking around for Eva. When it's quite clear she isn't in the room herself, he looks around the room for any sign of her living there. Which means going through other people's things.]

Network - video
[There's only a small glimpse of Vergil himself, as after turning on the video, he holds up a photograph of a blonde-haired

woman.]

I wish to know the whereabouts of this woman. She was here only recently, I haven't yet found her. Should any harm have come to her, I will see to punishment accordingly.

Research library
[Being quite sure she's gone, there's not much choice but to hang out in the library now. Still carrying his sword, he moves from the terminals to the section history should have been in. Still gone, of course. He searches for something even remotely similar, folklore and myths, as he of all people should know legends are often more than fiction, geography, anything. When he eventually comes across a book of myths, he leans against the bookshelf, katana resting in much the same position at his side.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Have you found much already?

Only scraps. I've been away for some time.

[He would continue to make note of anything that seemed remotely useful, but...]

I'd say welcome back but I don't think it'd be well-received.

[He gives a small, sardonic laugh, the slightest of slight chuckles, really.]

It's a true 'Heaven on Earth'

Heaven has better decorating. [Still, he smiles at the joke.]

I wouldn't say Heaven's suits my tastes, personally.

[On a matter of principle. It probably looks way better than Hell, but he has to stick with his demon roots.]

The decor is better, but the people in it are assholes. In my experience.

In your experience...?

[Maybe it is worth his time to speak to Aleph.]

I don't get along with angels very well. Or God. Really did not get along with God.

That's a bold thing to say in unknown company.

I won't hide it. I know a lot of people, probably the majority of people, won't get along with someone who killed God without regrets. But it's hard to dance around the subject.

[He raises an eyebrow, now focusing all his attention to Aleph. Now this is a subject he's very interested in.]

To rise up against Him and win the battle is something even the demon lord couldn't manage, so, how is it one who appears as a man could?

Significant amounts of help. I'm a demon summoner, and by the time I battled Him I had some of the most powerful demons as my allies.

[He doesn't mention Lucifer. He's still pissed off at Dante for that argument earlier.]

[While he doesn't exactly approve of help, to command demons sounds impressive.]

The demons of my world wouldn't take well to summoning, but it is an intriguing notion nonetheless...

All the worlds are different, apparently. I'm sure the God of mine is crueler than most, or killing him wouldn't come as such a shock to people - somebody would have done it already.

He is inherently cruel, the difference in opinion can be credited to mankind's perception and intelligence in each world.

It doesn't really matter. What had to be done in my world, I did.

Far too many would ignore that duty.

Then they don't have enough self-preservation.

Humans do tend to lack that basic instinct, and the power to follow through with it.

Some of them.

It's human nature to be weak, none can surpass a certain level.

I have to disagree.

On what grounds?

The humans I've known have grown further than anyone expected them to.
