[Game 11] Investigation Team (David's)

"I can get one of the demons to drive us most of the way," says David, as their group splits off from the others. "Unfortunately," he adds dryly, "and for obvious reasons, I can't drive us."

"He'll probably be there at the office . . ." David says slowly. "But it's weird that there's no information."

I doubt the CEO was the only demon in the company. Can you forward any info on contracts the company was planning to make? I'll take whoever is coming to the crime scene and see what else we find out.

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

"Yeah," David says. "I can keep looking things up while you guys are out, at least until you get there. I'm going to be going with you in a way, just not . . . physically."

As long as you don't put yourself at risk needlessly.

[ Perks up! ]

Mm! That'll be cool, yeah!

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

"I would probably be more at risk if I came with you and we suddenly had to run somewhere," David points out dryly. "Anyway, it'll be fine. Fon, do you want to get everyone up to speed on what's going on? Kazuki, you can come with me."

He braces himself on his cane again and heads out of the kitchen.

[ Salutes Fon, then follows David out. ]

Re: David's Apartment

David leads the way to his bedroom.

(David's bedroom is much, much messier than the rest of the apartment. The bed is unmade, and there are clothes everywhere. He has a huge TV facing the bed, with literally every type of modern game console, and racks of games next to it. There is a mirror on the door of a walk-in-closet, though for some reason there's a sheet hung on a hook overtop of it. There is a huge desk in the corner with three computer screens and a large pile of books. The windows are closed, and covered with blackout curtains.)

[ ... predictably going and perving on the games while David does his thing ]

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

There's Diablo 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 . . .

"Really, Kazuki? Not now . . ." David sounds amused, though.

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

Taking a second to look doesn't hurt!

[ But fineee. Gives a longing look to said games, before turning his attention to David. ]

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

. . . also has, like, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and BioShock Infinite . . .

"Maybe if you stuck around . . ." David's back is to him as he says this.

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

... are you bribing me?

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

"Just a comment," David says, fingers spinning on a safe under the desk. "If you stayed for videogames and not your boyfriend, I'd be a little annoyed."

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

I was about to say that too, it'd be annoying if you thought you'd have to bribe me.

[ Moving next to, and... putting a hand on David's back, okok '-' ]

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

The safe clicks open.

David looks up at Kazuki. ". . . I'm . . . sorry. I didn't mean—"

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

I know. Who knows, maybe staying's possible after this?

[ Distracted a little from the safe atm!! Though he does glance towards it, naturally curious. ]

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

David pulls a couple things out, then closes it, dropping them aside and reaching up to tug Kazuki down closer to him.

"I would like that . . ."

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Kneels down, then! And looks at David seriously, considering. ]

David...

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

". . . what?"

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ There's a lot he wants to say! About his connections he has with other people, and that new peaceful life, and that David's much older and changed than when they first met and Kazuki's grown so little in comparison, but. There's a lot of reasons why those aren't worth saying either, and there are possible solutions, and he knows it. So that really leaves one thing. ]

... I'm getting a little sick of technically only been dating you for like, a week! I'll try.

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

. . .

"We can talk about it later . . ." David says hesitantly.

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

If you want! I still love you though, so you still have to deal with it.

Re: David's Apartment

[arsgoetia]

"I love you," David blurts. "I just—this is getting ridiculous? You have a life? That isn't here? I mean—"

Re: David's Apartment

[virtuallyroyalty]

I know! And so do you. Then you still spend the last year and a half being my boyfriend anyway. So... of course it's ridiculous! I come back and see you walking around and taller and probably in college or running your Dad's business successfully or whatever, I definitely know it's ridiculous more than anyone!
