voice; un: nero (open to stars and moon) [forward dated to the 26th]
[Surprisingly, this isn’t a text. While Nero is a complete shitposter, this absolutely is all voice. Which means that this is important, and it sure sounds like it, because Nero’s voice sounds incredibly strained and distressed.]
Hey. I know there’s monsters and shit all around at night, but do me a favor. Anyone in neutral territory or close by that- stay the fuck away from the border of the Moon territory. Vergil’s been cursed, and he’s basically attacking anyone who gets in his way while trying to find me or Dante.
If you want to go and find him and try to stop him, don’t. We’re his targets- if anyone else crosses him, he won’t hesitate. Don’t go looking for us either- he only wants to kill us. We'll take care of it.
[A pause, and he inhales and exhales. Stay focused, don't let your emotions get the best of you here, we don't have time. There's still another thing he has to ask.]
I also need a healer as soon as anyone’s ready. We’ll come to you.
[In the background, you can hear Dante begin to protest.]
Look kid, I’ll be fine-
[It’s a bad idea to say that, because Nero practically explodes, yelling back at him while the network is still going.]
Shut the fuck up, you took a sword to the chest, asshole! You’re not fucking fine!
[Look, the boy is worried sick for Dante and also Vergil, his emotions are a mess. He doesn’t know what’s going on with the other, but Vergil’s nearly killed Dante and tried to kill Nero without any warning. He needs to be stopped. They need to find that Arae.
((Nero and Dante will be threadjacking where necessary, feel free to threadjack right back!))]

[Not A Fan]
deal with it old man
What, you'd rather risk possibly dying instead? Or maybe letting Vergil come after us again, since you've pointed that out already? News flash, I'm not gonna let that happen to you, and we're sitting ducks unless we get healed.
[A beat, and he exhales.] And I'm not gonna lose him again.
Once we're done with that, we can find out about that spirit you were talking about earlier.
no subject
You should have asked about that first.
[bet vergil would already have found out what the hell an arae is - and knowing that much annoys the hell out of dante. damn.]
Whatever. [a huff, as he lies back down on the snow, a hand reaching up to wave about like it's no big deal. definitely hiding his frustration.] Let's make this quick.
