john: THIS is the weirdest boner I've ever gotten

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji releases the grape from his mouth with a wet pop, looking a tiny bit smug over his resounding success.]

Told you. I could do this all day if you let me.

['This' being orally stimulate John's grapes, apparently.]

idk mang i feel like he gets a lot of weird boners

[vitis]

[ john's eyes narrow ]

What, try to suck off a grape?

[ likewise, just calling it like he sees it. feels it, apparently ]

You should bite into it - never felt that happen before.

tru

[thesettingsun]

[Calling it like he feels it. And while Shuji is both surprised by the revelation that John can feel that and what he feels it as...]

Wouldn't that hurt?

[...that said, he's going to slowly bite into it anyway, because John asked him to.]

[vitis]

[ i mean, he likely doesn't have the skill to make all his vines feel like multiple dicks, but he definitely recognizes a sucking sensation ]

[ ... if he did, shuji biting right now would be. even more unpleasant ]

[ john's shoulders jump upward at the resulting pain - it's not excruciating, nor a surprise. however, the vine does draw back and the grape is plucked from its bunch. ]

Yep! Sure did.

[thesettingsun]

[And no one was surprised at all. Shuji gives the vine a consoling pat as it retreats.

He does swallow the grape, so there.]

And you're more into that than what I was doing before?

[John is a masochist apparently?? Not that that's bad or anything.]

[vitis]

Think you're mistakin' my grimace for a smile —

[ it's not shuji's fault you can be an unreadable stepford smiler, john.

and wow. that grape sure does go down. ]

I mean, you don't really strike me as the type to get too rough. [ you're too gentle a soul, he thinks, shuji... ]

[thesettingsun]

I'd do anything if you asked.

[Including bite a grape. Or use his teeth on other things.]

[vitis]

[ ... gonna. pinch shuji's cheek and give it a pull ]

How many other people you say shit like that to? [ not that he's questioning shuji's fidelity - he has no reason to. his tone's light. ] Anything can really mean anything, y'know.

[thesettingsun]

Ow - [swats at John's hand! rude!] I know it does, that's why I don't say it to just anybody.

[vitis]

[ wow. ]

Like, "kill a man" for me, or more "would blow me in public if told" kinda stuff?

[thesettingsun]

...both?

[Semi-public would be better, his parents live in this city and he doesn't want word to get back to them so they disown him, so...]

[vitis]

[ ... that's a lot. he blinks - he'd definitely be concerned if it was anyone but him that shuji had sworn this, err, sort of loyalty to. (you should still be worried, john...) ]

I got a lotta responsibility, huh.

[ as comes with great power. ]

[thesettingsun]

Don't worry about it. I trust you.

[that isn't necessariy a relief when the concern is shuji's unshakeable loyalty]

[vitis]

[ hm. well ]

... Yeah. I trust you, too.

[ that's that. there's a fond smile following those words; it's shit like this that has his heart warmly a-flutter. ]

[thesettingsun]

...I'm still not sue I'm the best person to go to if you really do need to call a hit on someone. Not that I wouldn't do my best, but I mean, giant scythes aren't subtle?

[Then again, hiring an actual assassin is probably pretty expensive.]

[vitis]

Yeah, giant scythes don't make for good stealth assassinations, huh.

[ he rubs his chin, genuinely applying thought to this conundrum. ]

Not like you couldn't ditch it, though - go for a good ol' fashion shanking.

[thesettingsun]

I don't have as much practice with those. [Why are they seriously thinking about this.] I guess having a murder weapon you can change into a book helps with getting it in there undetected, but if anybody could figure out it was a scythe they could just go 'hey, how many people in Recolle use scythes'?

[vitis]

That's why, if you use a knife, just sneak up on 'em, give 'em a good ol' stab to the neck. [ making it sound like that's easy peasy! ]


You'd bisect someone usin' a scythe, right?

[thesettingsun]

Decapitation seems like the best option. Not a lot of unnecessary pain. Even if you only get their head partway off, it's not something you're going to be conscious for very long. Stomach wounds hurt like a bitch.

[remember when this thread was nsfw]

[vitis]

Nice of you, Shuji, to be thinkin' 'bout pain like that.

[ --avoiding it, more like. ]

Whichever would end up easiest, right? Guess it would be easier to lop off someone's head instead...

[thesettingsun]

Even if you ask me to do an assassination, I'm not going to make it more painful than it needs to be?

[this is apparently where he draws the line.]
