call me out v. 11.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

[David crosses his arms with a huff, deliberately turning away in a childish approximation of annoyance. Really, it's almost good that he's here as his younger self, because a grown man exhibiting this behavior would be even more pathetic.]

That's not how it works! I can be good at many things, you know. I'm a renaissance man.

[Thanks, Da Vinci-chan, for teaching this petulant king the phrase.]

If anything, I should be all the better for that. Having all the skills and feats I possess while also writing the best--generally conceded, of course--series of songs only reveals my talent more. I mean, um--it's all to glorify my God, but you have to admit that I'm the superior writer. Just for truthfulness.

[Da Vinci-chan talking to David is kind of terrifying as a concept. Kajii is going to track her down later, after they finally Rayshift back.]

Of course I've read them, and they aren't bad. [Damning by faint praise.] But at the moment it sounds more like you're glorifying yourself than your God.

[kingofsling]

[David pales, shaking his head emphatically.]

Absolutely not! I won't take such slander of my character and spirit lightly, especially when you're saying it with insults to my skill. If I were king, you could be killed for such a crime as blasphemy.

[He seems to have entirely forgotten his spiel about how being younger is better, with a fussiness that reaches new heights, even for someone like him. He's insulted, of course, but more than that, taken aback that someone would even think to say that about him, despite his more than pompous attitude about his talent.]

[scrollofdarkness]

But you prefer being younger, you said, so today I escape with my life~

[Not that he would just let himself be executed. Besides, their Master might have something to say about them killing each other.]

[kingofsling]

[Haughtily, he settles back down, turning his head away in supposed irritation. Even if he is cranky, even if his partner is being awfully rude to an innocent shepherd, he still wants to be loved upon.]

Hmph. Whatever. You're lucky for that.

[scrollofdarkness]

[David can still get hair pettings, even if he's never been innocent a day in his life.]

If you were a responsible king, we wouldn't be here having this conversation. We'd have Rayshifted already.

[So the point is moot, except for where David's pride is wounded.]
