I'm thirsty! [HE'S THIRSTY, MEDB!!] Alcohol just dries you out. Though I guess I didn't have to worry about having a tolerance until, uh... three weeks ago, anyway.

[Being a spirit is so useful in so many regards.]
touchups: (and we can't have you living a lie)

This tastes better.

[He wants hydration AND flavor!! Though he'll give her a curious look there, propping his chin up in his palm as he finally stops slumping like a deflated bean bag.]

Yeah? Lucky. [He says, as if having a high human tolerance is better than being immune to alcohol because you don't consume food and drink. MAYBE IT IS.] --Hey, did you like being a human?
touchups: (won't you come inside)

[He snickers at her terrible joke because of course he does. God.]

Fine, fine - I'll drink water later.

[His JUICE THOUGH!! In any case, he doesn't seem surprised by the answer, humming a little aimless note.]

What was your favorite part about being human? Is there anything you miss, now that you're not one anymore?
touchups: (how sweet it is to hear)

[HE WOULD STILL LAUGH UNFORTUNATELY sometimes you are a being that can look literally any way you wish and you wake up and actively choose Frankenstein's monster every day.

In any case, his smile softens a little at about the same time her expression shifts into haughtiness.]


Seems like the kind of answer you'd rather keep close. If I said I could, what then?
touchups: (and ill use you as a makeshift gauge)

[HE SURE DID!!!! KNOW THAT I HATE MAHITO!!! HE CAN CHANGE HIS LOOKS AT ANY TIME AND FOR WHAT

But he just listens to what she says, attentive - especially attentive to the sharpness in her tone. Do your best to be worthy of it. Would he like to be? He's not very good at playing these kinds of games, he thinks. At toeing these lines. In the end, is he the sort of person who could stand up to scrutiny under Medb's harsh gaze?

It's all null, though. There's a bit of a strange expression that briefly flits across his face when she asks that question. His eyes shift for a moment to a drop of condensation sliding down the outside of his glass.]


Ah... I can't.

[The exact emotion behind his tone is hard to pin down. Maybe there's something mildly apologetic in it, or wistful in its usual whimsical way.]

That's not a thing I can experience.
touchups: (don't get too comfortable)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-01 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[It really is a disconnect. For how human he looks and acts, and how familiar the general idea of a spirit is to so many people here - he's really not human at all. A mirror of humanity in many ways, but completely disconnected from the threads that make up its core.]

Hm... I've never thought about it, honestly.

[It'd be like a hyperintelligent squid wondering what life as a human would be like... Why even consider that when being a squid is clearly better??]

Any new experience is a valuable one, though.
touchups: (alice in the looking glass)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-02 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad.

[It sounds genuine, and he picks himself up again from his slouchy posture. Or at least corrects it to a... mildly less slouchy slouch. Considering he did see that memory, he's not overly-concerned about his Clearly Not A Human-ness putting her off.

Then, with a little twinkle of amusement in his demon eye:]


Wow, you think so? It's a good thing I don't get bored often, then. Hard to do that in a place with basically no rules and new things happening every week, especially!
touchups: (that rattles us to bed)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-02 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's true, Mahito owns his own terrible nature, for whatever good that... does... But he laughs a little, raising his shoulders.]

It's you, though. Ah, but I'm a little surprised... Things went downhill reeeally fast for that guy, huh?

["I'm a little surprised", says Mahito, who knows how terrible humans can be better than just about anyone else, who is also constantly expecting them to be at their worst at all times.]
touchups: (that's where the plot begins)

[Honestly she's valid, very funny. He also doesn't seem particularly keen on continuing to discuss Fukuda in particular, because Fukuda The Person is not interesting to him so much as The Various Human Conditions That Make Up Fukuda.]

It's kind of interesting how some people do that, you know? Just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper instead of trying to pull themselves back up.

[Which he naturally means in many more ways than just "this dude wouldn't try to exonerate himself from murder crimes".]
touchups: (where i can't be found)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-05 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Not his serial killing murder crimes, the murder crimes he was accused of that he apparently did not actually commit. Fukuda your crimes.]

Haha, harsh.

[HE SAYS, "HAHA"ING ABOUT IT. It's pretty entertaining though okay, look, he loves Medb for being brutally honest.]

Not like you're wrong, though! People can really talk themselves in and out of all kinds of things, can't they?

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-05 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Fair and valid.

If he noticed that, he doesn't make mention of it, though! There's maybe a little bit of a curious look, but it lets it go without comment.]


Huh. Yeah, that seems to be the case... Still weird to watch it happen. But I guess people are just kind of weird and hard to understand in general, you know?

[He says, despite having an innate understanding of (all the worst parts of) humans.]
touchups: (you are the victim)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-03-06 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just hums a little, considering the statement.]

I guess you're right about that. [No it could definitely hurt very much, at least for anyone semi normal...] Nothing to do but give it a try, then!
