call me out v. 14.0

[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!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

I haven't earned it, I guess?

[Maybe if he actually manages to protect people, his treatment will change.]

[duranduel]

Why would you need to earn it? Can't people be nice to you because you're nice?

[gemuinemanagement]

[...Blinks a few times.

It never works that way for him?]

[duranduel]

W-Why are you givin' me that look...come on....it's true...

[gemuinemanagement]

If that were true, then people would be nicer in general, I think?

[duranduel]

...

[He sighs.]

I guess, but...maybe you just haven't met the right people?

[gemuinemanagement]

I guess. Until I met you?

[duranduel]

Until you met me...oh no.....I-I'm just a gloomy guy.......what kinda hard life do you have...

[WHY ARE THEY MEAN TO HIS MASTER THIS MAKES NO SENSE]

[gemuinemanagement]

It's okay to be gloomy. You're still kind.

[mandricardo is valid!!]

[duranduel]

Um. [He's very touched!] I'm...nothin' but a villain, but....thanks....

[gemuinemanagement]

You're not. You're helping me protect people, that isn't what a villain would do, is it?

[duranduel]

T-That's my duty to you as your Servant but...when I was alive, I wasn't the nicest guy...

[gemuinemanagement]

That doesn't mean you have to always be that way forever. You're nice now.

[He knows evil spirits! This is not an evil spirit.]

[duranduel]

[He's blushing.]

I just....well....I-I'm.......

[He doesn't know what to say!]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Now they're both blushing again!!]

...We should probably focus on fighting first.

[They're going to fluster themselves into not being able to take down a spirit.]

[duranduel]

Y...eah. Yeah! Let's. Um. Do that.

[BOYS....]

Lead the way.

[gemuinemanagement]

[First things first, Suga drapes another couple of glowstone pendants over Mandricardo's neck. Can't be too careful!

After that, he leads Rider out the back of the museum. There's a large glowstone that marks the boundary of the forest.

As they approach, Mandricardo will be able to hear the voices of children, distorted and distant.

Useless boy
Disgusting boy
Why are you trying to hurt Mother?
When you've never saved anyone

It doesn't sound like they're talking to Mandricardo.]

[duranduel]

...

[Creepy children. Wow. Mandricardo frowns as he walks along, shaking his head. They must be addressing...]

[He huffs at Suga.]

Hey. Don't listen to them.

[gemuinemanagement]

You don't have to worry. I'm good at tuning them out.

[This is something he's come to get used to, unfortunately.]

[duranduel]

...

[He frowns.]

You shouldn't...have to deal with this.

[gemuinemanagement]

If we defeat her, I won't have to anymore.

[That's what Mandricardo means, right?]

[duranduel]

Well, I'm just...sayin' in general. You don't have to deal with it, even from evil spirits.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'll be okay. But thank you.

[Deeper into the forest they go. It looks like a normal forest, but there's definitely a Bad Feeling the further they head.]

[duranduel]

[A bad feeling....he doesn't need to be a mage to feel that. He gestures to Suga.]

Stay behind me. [He shifts his sword in his grip.] I don't want you out front.

notifs!! why!!

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga nods, staying close behind Mandricardo. Just in time, too.

The area around them darkens, and something emerges from the trees. She might have been a beautiful woman, once, before she was twisted into a being made of hate.

That smell
That smell that I hate
You've brought it back here, disgusting boy]
