I'm free right now. And I won't scan you unless you want me too. I know you like to keep some secrets about you and Azathoth.

[personal profile] belheir 2025-02-28 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'd love to be of use to help you figure it out! Where would you like to meet up?
belheir: (026)

NO....... hated, unloved

[personal profile] belheir 2025-02-28 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
So... I have a confession.

I can teleport to the machiya, but.. Only inside. I don't know what it looks like outside or anything like that, so I can't exactly teleport safely unless I know the surroundings.

[personal profile] belheir 2025-02-28 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
A little bit... It was hard to keep my eyes open and not be dizzy.

I'll be over in just a second, then! Please keep the Tatami room clear for me.

[And he really will be over in just a few seconds, mostly because he wanted to give Maruki some time to clear out anyone he needed to... He doesn't know!

But he'll call out when he arrives.
]

I'm here...!
belheir: (026)

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-01 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't bother to warn anyone...?

[Oh... He'll have to be so much more careful in the future...! Or, well. He won't need to so much once he's finally outside. He can teleport to the front door like a normal self respecting demon and knock like the polite guy he is.]

I'd really rather not end up on top of anyone... Or inside them.

[brr. Creepy. Can that happen? He doens't know. Doesn't want to find out, thank you!]
belheir: (026)

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-01 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know! Maybe I wouldn't end up inside them.

[He just doesn't want to take that chance! He's seen science fiction movies about teleporting...!

But Kazuya is quick to follow after Maruki when he's waved on, like a dutiful little lost dog.
]

That'd be nice, honestly. It's far more respectable than just showing up inside your house.
belheir: (044)

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-02 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Kazuya is honestly pretty impressed by it, and he can't help his gaze flicking this way and that to take in the scope and... Well, feeling of home from it. It's not like his own home back in his own reality, but it's close enough that there's nostalgia and longing for it.

Either way, the clearing is impressive, as are the few patches of bloodstains around. Whoof, they must really go at it, don't they?

Kazuya would hate to end up on the wrong side of both of them, honestly. It'd undoubtedly be impressive, what the pair could accomplish together, and that's just from what little he knows about them.
]

I can see that.

[His eyes glance to a patch of grass that's a little darker than the others from old, dried blood.

He's already digging into his pocket to pull out his 3DS COMP. It's blue ♥

He pushes some buttons, starting it up.
]

I'm ready whenever you are... I can scan you both with and without Azathoth, I think.
belheir: (044)

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-03 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry! There's no hitting required.

[Really! All it takes is a few button presses, and with the COMP aimed at Maruki... It spits out a nice little data sheet at him.

But also now that it's on, there's something a little more concerning in his vision than the data sheet that it spits out, readily visible on the screen.

His gaze is firmly locked above Maruki's head at a rather ominous looking number 5.

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-03 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
... That you have pretty good magic potential for someone who's just "A Regular Guy".

[Like, he has no problem turning the screen to face Maruki, letting him see it as it lists out his general vitality as numerical data!

Level: ???
HP: 150 / 150 | MP: 645 / 645
STR: 8
MA: 37
VI: 18
AG: 22
]

Weird, considering that it doesn't list you as having any specific abilities, though.

[Which is to say, Maruki is a BIG FUCKING WEIRDO.

Also Kazuya can't help but glance up. Above Maruki's head every now and again, with a look of increasing concern.
]
belheir: (041)

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-04 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... It's nothing.

[It's something. But what is it? What could Maruki be getting into in five days that would potentially kill him...?

Kazuya doesn't want that. It's different if it's the goblins or the gelflings or the dragonkin that he occasionally sees with a number above their heads, he couldn't care less about them biting the bullet.

Maruki is different.
]

... Do you have any plans in a few days...?
belheir: (032)

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-04 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Um, yes! How about in five days!

[ODDLY SPECIFIC.

Don't worry about it. Kazuya laughs nervously, finally dropping his gaze to Maruki's face... And not at the number above his head.
]

A... Anyway, how about you show me Azathoth too? I can scan it as well.
belheir: (044)

im not listing the stats u already know them ive decided

[personal profile] belheir 2025-03-04 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
[... Whew. Well, that didn't... really change the number above his head, but at least that means he'll be present for... Whatever is going on.

It'd be easier if the Laplace mail still worked.
]

Ah- hold that pose for a moment.

[He hits a few buttons, and there's the click of a camera shutter as Kazuya absolutely takes a picture of him and Azathoth. Yep. There's a camera function, and taking a picture of him means that he'll always have proof of his existence.

Anyway, once that's done, he'll quickly scan Azathoth, and when all of the data shows up, he'll move to show Maruki the exact details it shows as well.
]

The question marks mean that the value can't be identified, either because it's changing or because it makes the system overflow.

[Still, it's kind of funny to see that each of the tentacles is a regarded as a unique entity unto itself, each with its own resistances and weaknesses.]

Azathoth is pretty uniquely powerful, it's impressive. I mean, we knew that I'm still pretty impressed all the same.

ive never consumed that movie
