[video][kidnapping plot aftermath]

[hetried]

[Somebody definitely looks more shook up than usual; and those bandages looked a little much for someone that was supposed to be in a fake fight.]

O-- OK. I can get-- demon kidnapping, that's a-- job hazard. I guess. I-I can understand that!

B-But how come I'm the only one that ends up in an actual death match?! Y-You guys said not to worry, but I thought I was gonna d-die--!! Who the hell let--?!

[OK. Deep breaths Daichi, deep breaths.]

I-- Look, just-- stay away from that Sam guy! H-He's one of us, timid-looking guy, brown hair-- he's completely faking it! C-C-Completely! He's like some kind of monster!! I've never seen anything like it before! He wasn't faking anything, he was trying to kill me-- I-I think he seriously almost did!

Just-- stay away from him?! Alright?!

[Nope can't be bothered with text or whatever.]

Is he now?

[Well that makes sense.]

[Video]

[hetried]

Yes! I-I mean-- we talked before, and he seemed pretty OK! But we started fighting and-- I guess he didn't like me using fire, but he never told me that! I tried to talk to him and he just started going ps-psycho!

[bakegarasu]

When you say monster - what kind of monster?

[hetried]

I dunno... Something... black, and cold-- [His brow furrowed, and he pressed a hand to one side of his face.]

I-I can't remember that well. I don't think I got a good look at it...

[bakegarasu]

... Hm. I'll have to ask him.

[hetried]

I-I don't think he's really all that big on sharing information...

[bakegarasu]

No, he's not. But I have my ways.

[That grin should probably be worrying.]

[hetried]

[He has seen enough psychotic grins for a lifetime. So yeah, he's worried.]

Wh-- What are you gonna do?!

[He didn't like Sam, but there was such thing as going too far.

[bakegarasu]

[He shrugs.]

If he's really a monster, then he'll be able to fight back. If he's just a normal person then I'll know it and I'll stop short of beating the shit out of him.

But based on what you said and what I've been told by other people before, I'm guessing the first one's the likely scenario.

[hetried]

[And yet, that still doesn't sit right with people.]

H-How can you be sure you'll stop in time?! And besides, what if he just attacks you back with even worse?!

[bakegarasu]

A natural risk of the job. But I'll be fine.

And suddenly, the video feed on Otoha's end becomes a little chaotic as multiple tentacles wrap around his head and a little girl starts clinging to his torso.

"NO! LEAVE BIG BRO ALONE!"

Desco what are you even doing.

[hetried]

Gah--!!

[Goddamnit the last thing he needed was more tentacles and jump scares and christ don't mind him dropping his Comp and hastily making to pick it back up.]

W-W-What the hell are you doing?!

[bakegarasu]

... Don't mind Desco.

[This is totally normal.]

Desco, please get off my head.

[tyrantball]

Desco grudgingly shifts her tentacles downwards to immobilize Otoha's legs.

"Don't bully Big Bro!"

[hetried]

Kind of hard to ignore it!!

[SERIOUSLY COME ON]

B-Big bro? You're related to that guy?!

[bakegarasu]

This is just how Desco is. She's not as bad as she looks. And she thinks of him as one, yeah.
