[Video: start. Unimpressed teenager with slicked-back hair and a cranky expression: appear.]

Okay, so either the Professor is pulling a huge fuck you on me for leaving, everyone in this town is sharing some kind of mass delusion, or I actually got kidnapped to a Japanese city in another world to fight monsters.

Someone remind me why I'm believing the third one?

[He rubs at his eyes, then looks a bit more cheerful as he keeps speaking.]

Free room and board just for beating shit up, though. The place I came from could learn from this Philemon guy. All I wanna know is if there's any other mutants around - that's Homo Superior, the evolution beyond humans, not whatever you might call mutants in some other world. As good as this all sounds, I'm not sticking around if demons are my only alternative to humans.

[And he's done.]

((ooc: rather pertinent rewrite after he got the details about the place and actually kind of liked them. facepalm.))

"Desco's Daddy is a mad geneticist! Improper use of genetic nomenclature is therefore a personal affront to him!"

The eye on her forehead narrows in indignation.

"And why would the fundamental laws of existence change just because you're from a parallel dimension? You humans are so self-centered!"

Pyro may not know her well enough to tell, but coming from Desco that is hugely ironic.

[bakegarasu]

Desco. Calm down.

[This is Uncle's serious voice.]

I clearly didn't explain it well enough. Bot of you, back off.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

She calls me human again, I make no guarantees.

[bakegarasu]

Mutants like you're talking about don't exist in her world. What else is she supposed to think you are?

[tyrantball]

There's a slight pause as Desco considers the latest development.

"Desco refuses to use the term 'mutant', but she would be willing to use a different term."

She pouts, just a little.

"Desco is only willing to compromise because Uncle Otoha is asking, though!"

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Avoid "human" and "freak", and we're good.

[He still doesn't look impressed, though.]

How about you just use my name?

[tyrantball]

Desco is clearly conflicted about this, but after a very long pause she grits out an answer from behind her clenched teeth.

"...fine, Desco will use your name."

Drawing herself up, she once more levels a claw at the camera feed.

"Be amazed at Desco's generosity! The Final Boss usually only honors interesting people by bothering to learn their names!"

sorry for the delay! wasn't sure if it was still a three-way thread or not.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He looks utterly nonplussed.]

Sure, okay. I'm honored.

I'm also Pyro.

[tyrantball]

HMMPH.

"Very well, Pyro! Since you are obviously overwhelmed by how adorable and generous Desco is, she will graciously allow you to regain your composure."

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Is "she" gonna keep talking in the third person? 'Cause that's really annoying.

[tyrantball]

Desco pulls herself up, adopting a haughty, superior expression.

"In addition to being the Legendary Final Boss that will conquer the world, Desco is also the Ultimate Little Sister! Her adorable vocal tics only add to her cuteness!"
