_{[ his hand's easy to coax loose. he takes the opportunity to sieze hold of Muffin's, and guide it to rest over the fancy pin over his heart. ]}

I'm gonna kill the man that gave me this. I've killed way more other people already, too. More than I remember. But he's powerful. I want that power, because it means my life's going to be easier. I'm going to use it to kill more people, too. That's what I am. I'm made just for killing people. That's the kind of angel I am. So... you see. I really am both at the same time, right?

[presses his hand against angel devil's chest and steps closer]

Looking at it like that... What about when you're not killing? The younger you and the older you both, um... like having time to just be. Do you get to have that?

You know what waking up here taught me...? Reading those silly papers... the sad parts, the really good parts...

One day, it really is all going to be over. Done. I. Win. I get out of every single noose on my neck! All gone!

...Don't take me the wrong way! I'm not giving up on Gaia. That planet is mine! I'm supposed to kill it, so you know what? It's all mine to keep alive! But...

_{[ leans in. ]}

Standing up here with you... I actually know for the first time. One day. I am going to... "just" "be." ...but, honestly! How disgustingly humble! Of course I want more than that. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I have the lowly aspirations of... Of a...

_{[ his hand hasn't left muffin's. his stare is intense. ]}
...

I dont just want to "be." I can't just want to be. That's as good as putting myself up on a shelf and calling it quits, isn't it?

I'd rather... be... a devil, and an angel, forever... than just a doll.

From:

electricflock

I didn't mean it like that.

[curls his fingers in angel devil's shirt and gives him a thump, not even really a shove]

You read his papers, you just said. He doesn't just sit and exist, and I don't want that for any of you either. Want you to have the peace to have time to yourself, to relax if you want. Want you to have more time to explore or play or study, and do what you want to do instead of what you were made to do.

_{[ he tosses his head so that his hair better shades his eyes. ]}

...I like doing as I please. It is nice. Except...

It's not fair knowing all that happens in the end is I get lucky and this place just happens to me one day. I wanted to be free. No. I wanted to MAKE myself free.

From:

finalbows

...but of course I wanna be happy. Do things as I please. I could do something that'd make me happy right now.

[clucks low and concerned]

What's that?

From:

finalbows

That sweet, caring face of yours... overflowing with pity...

From:

finalbows

Let me see what it's like when you actually get scared.

_{[ the concern you were feeling, just now, Muffin--

an unhinged Rose just grabbed it by instinct, and breathed as much life into it as he could. ]}

Wh—

[muffin blanches, breathless under the wave of alarm that surges over him. there’s a flicker of realization in his eyes— not betrayal, but hurt nonetheless. a part of him expected angel devil to pull a switch like this, but concern outweighed caution. hope ignored the warnings.

but now. Angel Devil the Younger has created a Muffin without calm again.]

[the struck and cornered animal lashes out, grabs angel devil’s shirt in clawed fists, yanks him down to height, and

yells in his face]

STOP THAT

From:

finalbows

_{[ so that's what it looks like, he idly thinks, his face appearing mystified and riveted in equal amounts.

an older angel devil might've buckled down. or maybe not. this one loses the grip he'd seized already only by instinct. ]}

From:

electricflock

[an older angel devil might have gotten slapped or cried on next. or both.

as it is, muffin’s still holding onto his shirt, grabbing for balance and almost dizzy with sudden relief]

From:

finalbows

_{[ he works to steady him, gently. that long tail is doing its best, out of sight. ]}

People are supposed to feel fear like that when they're looking at a killer. So? What makes you abandon your fear...? What is it, about you, that you make that kind of choice? What do you get? I give people things all the time because it means I'll get what I want, in the end. Or at the very least, I make them think I will. I'm good at it.

It's what makes me happy when I figure out that piece making people tick. Maybe I've gone tame, in the future, and that's why you're around... but it's not like the blood's coming off.

From:

electricflock

[leans against his shoulder sulkily]

I get you. Blood and all.

_{[ you're giving him an excuse to get really overtly cuddly, here, and he is taking it. this is the most openly snuggly angel of death possible. ]}

...Okay~ 🎵.

_{[ a hand briefly leaves him, to snake up to the Genome's chest. there's a sound of... something metal making a loud clink, as it hits the floor.

He'd taken off that spades pendant. ]}

From:

electricflock

[he’s still feeling cranky and recalcitrant over having his feelings kicked like a bruise, but… cuddling… Muffin lets go of angel’s shirt to wrap his arms around him instead.

and kicks the pin off the edge of the platform]

_{[ shoutout to whatever random sheep and or person runs into this laying bent in the grass later ]}

From:

_{[ he gives a gentle little 🎵hmmmm~🎵, and isn't going much of anywhere, any time soon.

eventually, though, he murmurs... ]}

It's really humiliating that you saw me like that... Wandering around like a stupid doll that needs directing. But even so...

...I wanted to show you I liked how you treated me, before. So I went snooping. But I feel like I understood even less, doing that. Then we started talking, and...

I... hate even more how it feels... when someone gets that look like they're worried for me... like I'm in over my head. I really like angry, better. If I'm only here for a little while, I don't wanna spend it feeling like that.

...At least I'm pretty good at this, right?
