From:

devilgod

I don't know, but every curse generally has a remedy. {It just might not be pleasant or desirable.} I'm different if you want to see what my power can do.

From:

babeldom

I guess it can't hurt to check. There might be something we missed? But ah, different? How do you mean?

[He isn't as sure on what the cure or remedy might be. It sounds like others have been here a while and have not yet figured it out, if there is. Or whether they might be willing to pay whatever the cost might be. The consequences.]

From:

devilgod

My deepest self... {He swallows hard.} My soul belongs to a god. He could probably remove your curse for a price.

{The price is the problem.}

Should he ever awaken, of course. I am against it.

From:

babeldom

Deepest self? Oh....no, I wouldn't want you to do something if you weren't comfortable. I don't expect you to do anything like that. You're already offering to help me plenty.

[He can't expect anything more. Let alone the potential price or consequence involved.]

From:

devilgod

It's an option. {If the Devil God awakens, Tantai Jin will fight for dominance and probably lose.} I can control his powers for a little while. Should he awaken.

If it happens, find me and then run.

From:

babeldom

It sounds like it would be bad...

[He is guessing. Based on what the other says. Not that he has any particular experience with something like this. Still. If possible, of course, his instinct is to try and help somehow.]

I'm not sure if that's something Vanitas might be able to help with.

From:

devilgod

It would be. {World ending bad. Tantai Jin is trying to take all of the precautions he can, but if the Devil God awakens, no preparation will be enough.}

He is going to try. I will speak to others and see what they are capable of doing, too.

From:

babeldom

Alright. I'm not sure if I can help, but. I would want to do something. Since you're offering to help me. So if you need a hand with anything, let me know, okay?

[Because. Well, if Tantai Jin is offering to help him. Then he should do the same. Should be able to help somehow at least. He doesn't expect this assistance for nothing in return.]

From:

devilgod

{He wonders where this kindness comes from and if everyone possesses it. He thinks some lack it entirely - those who used to beat him and betray him surely have no hearts. But the people in this world...do. Interesting.}

I didn't ask for repayment. Why do you offer it so freely?

From:

babeldom

Huh? Well. I mean. You're doing something to help me out, so....?

[Yeah. He doesn't consider it that big a deal? Just returning the favor of the other offering to help him out somehow. However, that might be. Whatever the other might need. Though, should Tantai get to know him better, he'd realize that this kindness is in spite of all that the vampire has been through.]

From:

devilgod

I am. I'm just not accustomed to anyone offering me anything in return. {Ever. For someone like Tantai Jin, born into a cold world, deprived of simple humanity, it means a great deal. How else is a Devil God supposed to be properly born?}

From:

babeldom

Hm? No? Well. I am. So, just let me know if you think of anything, okay?

[Because he does want to do something in exchange. If he can. Whatever the other might want or need help with.]

From:

devilgod

I... {What does he say? Trust is difficult for him to grasp and yet... Li Susu would want him to try.} Likewise. If you're hungry. It's alright. You don't have to hide.

From:

babeldom

O-okay. Alright. I'll let you know.

[Even if he might still be stubborn about it and try to last for longer between being able to feed. And that he can alternate given he has three people offering so far to help him.]

From:

devilgod

Promise? {Don't make him pull out a pinky swear, mister.}

From:

babeldom

I promise.

[At least if the other gets suspicious as to how long he goes without feeding, he can reassure him that he's having help from others as well. That and if he really were being that stubborn about it, Vanitas would surely do something to help.]

From:

devilgod

Very well. I will wait. {And if it goes on for too long, he will be checking.}

From:

babeldom

I've also had Vincent and Aether offer, too. So. I won't just have to rely on one person. I won't need to take too much.

[Just in case the other worries. He wants to reassure him.]

From:

devilgod

It's good that you have options. Sparing a little blood won't hurt anyone. {They have bigger fish to fry considering the changes he has begun to notice.}

I don't know either of them.

From:

babeldom

Yes. I'm lucky to have so many willing to help me with this.

[He says, relieved to have that support, even if he isn't glad of having to ask for it in the first place. To need it. Given that back home, he didn't need to feed, merely the desire to occasionally, but it wasn't actually necessary.]

The main thing is that you know I have support. So you don't need to worry if it's been a while before I feed from you, since I probably had one of them help me as well.

From:

devilgod

With the rate I am changing, I do hope you hunger for birds. {A...joke. Mostly.} Ravens or crows specifically. I might be able to fly if I gain enough feathers.

{And his bones become...hollow? That won't be good.}

From:

babeldom

Birds? Oh. That's your....your soul?

[It seemed like there was quite a variety. He's still figuring it out and learning more about this, having only been here for one month yet.]

From:

devilgod

Apparently. Some sort of blackbird. A raven or a crow, I think.

{He has been around for about that amount of time, but he had a connection to birds beforehand.}

From:

babeldom

There are a lot of different varieties with all these souls. I guess it isn't surprising that some might be birds.

[That would be kind of amazing. To be able to maybe fly? Even just manipulating the World Formula enough to stand on the wall or ceiling has him nauseous. But. Well. All transformations would have their less desirable aspects, too.]

From:

devilgod

I don't know all of the possibilities, but mine is obvious even without the dream I had.

{Flying would be nice. He has experience flying without wings, so why not try it the more "natural" way?}
