[Suddenly, crowds! And without wings, at that. Homura can at least say the Malnosso keep things interesting. For his part, he'll wander around the village, seeing just who has shown up. And no, he doesn't care that it's the middle of the night.]

[ Why hello there, cutie spotted~ ]

Oh, my, those are adorable wings you have!

[screwthegods]

[In all of his very long life, Homura's fairly certain no one has ever used the word adorable to describe anything about him. He'll grin at this woman, and laugh a bit.]

Thank you, I suppose. Though to be fair, they aren't actually mine.

[ She moves right on over to him, not wasting any time in trying to get close. ]

Hm, really? But they suit you so well~ Where did they come from?

[screwthegods]

[Lucky girl has found someone who is actually pretty comfortable despite his personal space being invaded. Homura knows what you're doing there, by the way.]

The Malnosso. The creatures responsible for bringing all of us here, including yourself. Though from what I'd been told, they give everyone they kidnap wings.

You seem to be an exception, however.

[ She's up to absolutely nothing, what are you talking about ]

Ah, they sound scary~ When you say "creatures", what kind are they? Horrible creatures? Men turned to monsters~?

[screwthegods]

[Yeah right. You missed the event where he was an innocent and naive child already. :|]

All I know is that they are powerful ones. I've yet to see them for myself.

[ Well drat ]

I see. By the way, you haven't happened to see a man around here with a scary expression and the red eyes of a demon, have you? Out of curiosity~

[Gojyo? So not amused. Go to bed after a little drink, a little cards, some mahjong... but this? Uncalled for. Better be some decent grub and at least a few good looking waitresses in this town.

Doesn't take long to spot Homura. Isn't that monkey around? Didn't they already take care of this? There is no way in hell Gojyo is going to try doing all the work himself.]

I know I didn't drink enough last night to wake up to this.

[He takes another drag from his cigarette, still trying to decide if it's better to stick around and get an explanation or make a run for it. He's no coward, but he's not stupid either. Looking after his own skin comes first.]

[screwthegods]

[That you did, Gojyo. Homura was just as surprised to wake up not dead as you are to find him now.]

Most likely not. There's an organization responsible for bringing people here, among other things.

[But Gojyo doesn't need details about most of what's already happened to Homura. He might notice the wings, however. Also, that Homura's not trying to kill him.]

Does observing another interest you?

[screwthegods]

[And unlike some, Homura makes no effort to hide that fact.]

Sometimes, yes. You could call it an old habit.

[lovehimdearly.livejournal.com]

A very fine habit you have.

[screwthegods]

Most would disagree. [You know, the ones that throw words like 'stalker' around?

And nope, not human--not completely. You're halfway there, Muraki. The other half though? That will register as god.]

Those standards are but mere illusions excuse a human's true nature.
