The message Desco posts on the network - the public network - is short and incredibly angry.

"This is a new low even for you, Des-X! Are you too scared of the Final Boss to face her one-on-one‽ Gather up as many minions as you like, you stupid cow! I'LL STILL KILL YOU FOR THIS!"

...hm. Wonder what happened.

"Okay!"

Well, in that case, Desco will assume it is safe to speak normally. Sam might catch the faint flickers of a thought, however - big bro is so amazing! - but hey, who knows?

"Um, um, so what happened while you were gone?"

[primordial]

[He frowns slightly at that snippet of thought, suddenly feeling uncomfortable, but shakes the feeling off, turning to her.]

I went back home. I tried to defeat a very bad person, but.just when I was about to finish him off, I came here again.

It really isn't fair...

[tyrantball]

"How bad is very bad? Is he as terrible as Lady Des-X?"

[primordial]

He's probably even more terrible than that. He's done so many horrible, horrible things...

[He sighs, looking down at the ground.]

But with me here, he's still very much alive...and I hate that, I really do.

[tyrantball]

Desco's voice is very small.

"Des-X was Desco's little sister, the production model to her prototype model. She defeated Desco in battle, ate her eyes, and crushed her skull."

So yes, there is her rubric for 'terrible'.

[primordial]

[Well, that's messed up. Sam raises an eyebrow.]

But you're still alive after that? Wow. You're more durable than I thought.

[But he shakes his head.] What you just said would be just one of the many things that guy would do. He's nothing more than a sadistic little creature that feeds off people's misery in any shape or form.

[tyrantball]

"Desco is very tough! And after she finished powering up in the Netherworld, she went back to Daddy's lab and destroyed Des-X's dreams and ideals!"

She ducks under the water after that outburst and rolls from side to side a few times before floating back to the surface on her back.

"Tell Desco his name so that when you do kill him she can get him earmarked for the extra-torturous training in Hades!"

[primordial]

[Dreams and ideals. Ah, if it were only so easy to do the same for the one he hated most. His mouth quirks upward, as if amused by the thought.]

And what were those ideals, exactly?

[And a pause when she tells him to tell her his name. What good would it do, really?]

Well, he went by the name of Y on my world. His real name is considerably longer and harder to pronounce, though...and honestly, I want nothing more for him to just disappear into a black hole or something. He doesn't even deserve torture, that's not even enough for the things he's done.

[tyrantball]

"The stupid Electra-complex hussy wanted Daddy all to herself and to be the strongest, so just the fact that Desco was alive and strong enough to stop her made her go completely insane! Desco made sure to save the look on her face to her permanent memory."

A slight pause as she considers the second half.

"...Desco thinks that's a bit tricky but also doable!"

[primordial]

Ah. So jealousy was the reason why she did that. Figures.

[He lets out a laugh despite himself.]

If I could find a black hole anywhere, then yes, it would certainly be doable. As of now, it's not.

[tyrantball]

"Desco will notify you if she finds one!"

[primordial]

I don't think you'd be able to survive one, much less find one, Desco.

[tyrantball]

"But all Desco would have to do is make the Gatekeeper find one!"

Desco twists around in the water so that she is floating on her belly, with her arms folded together on the rim of the tub to act as a pillow to rest her head on.

"Then, when the portal opens up, all Desco would have to do is throw him through!"

[primordial]

First off, he's larger than you think, and second of all, he's no going to be throw into a portal like that willingly.

[He frowns as he tries to think of a better way to explain it.]

It's like trying to throw me into a black hole and expecting that everything will be a-okay. Except just imagine me as around ten times bigger and with a bunch of claws and spikes and stuff and you get the picture. Not easy at all.

[tyrantball]

"But you'll have already killed him, right? And everyone Desco knows lives in Hades, so if she gathers them all up it should be easy to push him through!"

[primordial]

Ha. Maybe...

[He scratches his head.]

But either way, I'm here and he's there, so it's not like I can do much anyways.
