take it off

ＳＴＲＩＰＴＥＡＳＥ meme

Whether you're with a shy, innocent flower who's hesitant to show off their body, someone who wants to get you all fired up because they're contrary, or a sexpot with no qualms, you're about to get a show when they take their clothes off. Or maybe you just walked in on someone undressing. Whatever works. Play your cards right, and you may get to touch instead of just look.

Comment with your character, preference, and whether they're the one taking their clothes off or the one watching! Be sure to include as much information as you'd like and that makes you easier to tag - ie, is your character experienced in this? Are they intending to give a show? So on and so forth.

True. Most are more likely to react with fear than anger. Everyone knows demons are willing to consider people food. Not many know that the so-called forces of nature ancient cultures used to call gods were actually devils who thought it was best to form symbiotic relationships with human civilizations. They'll think of the vicious man eaters or sadistic tricksters before the civilized benefactors.

Is that your way of saying you were among those civilized benefactors?

Hey, a guy's gotta eat and there's only so much food in the underworld. It was that or hunt in areas occupied by humans. Figured it'd be best for all involved if I traded my powers for their livestock.

No need to get defensive, I was just asking a question. And it isn't like humans don't eat their fair share of livestock anyway.

Bit of a sore spot since Mundus declared himself a god for less benevolent reasons, alright?

*His tail swishes in the water with audible splashing.*

But pretty much. My weather control made it easier for them to grow crops and feed livestock, so I didn't think asking for a cut of it was too unreasonable. Beats spending my time skulking around forests and laying low so I don't have to deal with a parade of would-be heroes trying to save their hunting grounds and stop the terrifying monster before it moves to preying on humans.

Mhm.

[She turns her head to look over her shoulder before catching herself. A sigh escaping her as she settles on the floor back still to the tub.]

I can't see you skulking around for anything. Could a would-be hero even succeed if you had?

Not really. Anyone without any superhuman abilities would just be a nuisance. But it would still be a nuisance, and it'd be hard to get them to go away without killing them.

Thanks.

[Yep that's some genuine hurt in her voice.]

*He leans over the edge of the tub and reaches out to pat her on the shoulder, but pulls back at the last moment. He might drip a bit of water on her, though.*

...Sorry. Modern weapons are pretty impressive, and you seriously know what you're doing with them. Only the best monster hunters used to live to your age, and they...well, let's just say they didn't pull it off with style.

Some demons are just really hard to kill, though. It took a personal visit from Mundus to reduce me to a Devil Arm, and I still managed to scratch him up a bit.

[She jumps as the water drops soak into her shirt. Little spots of heat against her skin. And this time she doesn't catch herself as she turns to shoot him a questioning look.]

*He tilts his head at her, giving her a confused look of his own.*

...What?

Nothing. I'm not used to getting apologies I didn't pull drag of people.

*He shrugs and rests his arm on the side of the tub.*

Yeah, well, I got over pretending to be heartless a while ago. No point in pretending I don't feel bad for hurting someone's feelings now.

[She almost pouts at him. She's warming up to that realization. Can't expect miracles after a lifetime of holding a very specific set of beliefs.]

I didn't mean it like that. I just, even Dante I have to pull teeth to get an apology out of.

Yeah well, Dante's...you know how he is. Getting him to show any kind of emotion aside from the smug front he puts on is like pulling teeth. I know, you saw how long it too me to wrestle an apology out of him for locking me up in his back room and forgetting about me.

My pride isn't so fragile that I can't admit when I did something wrong.

I know. I heard more than saw but I was out there for a while. And it wasn't so much wrong as complicated.

[She shifts slightly so she doesn't have to crane her neck anymore. Eyes starting to drift from his face to his shoulders.]

Eh, I can see how you would take offense to what I said. But it wasn't meant as an insult toward human fighters. Actually, I think you guys are pretty amazing. Well, the ones that don't do something stupidly arrogant and get themselves killed for no good reason, anyway.

I like living too much to do something stupid. Which is also the reason I pass off certain jobs to Dante.

And I guess I'll be handing things off to you as well if he's busy or you're bored.

Isn't there a saying, discretion is the better part of valor? No shame in knowing when it's best to take a supporting role.

And I'm sure I'll be able to find trouble on my own, but I wouldn't mind some suggestions.

It isn't always just for those reasons. I wouldn't mind Dante getting out of debt at some point.

Of that I have no doubt. Trouble seems to have a knack for finding it's way here. But don't worry I'll point you somewhere eventually for work.

Think you're gonna have to break him of his wrecking ball habit first.

*He leans back again, this time stretching his arms up to put them behind his head so that his horns don't hit the wall again.*

And I'd be willing the trouble will either get better or worse once word starts to spread that I'm here. Just imagine the impression it'll make that the infamous banished ruler of the Thunder Hell is through with time out and has allied himself with the son of Sparda to boot. The only thing I have to wonder is if they'll be smart enough to be scared or dumb enough to see it as a two for one deal.

Don't remind me.

[She lets out a hiss as he leans back. There is far more of him once more on display than she's sure she wants. And she'd finally gotten that pesky blush of hers to go away. She can't help the way her eyes drift over his chest before she finally manages to redirect her gaze to the wall.

Though it does take another few breaths before Lady's coherent enough to continue the conversation and shift herself around again.]

Probably worse. But it'd probably be about time for worse. This place seems to go through cycles of decent and terrible. But chances are they'll fall on the dumb side of the scale and you'll get a lot of really crap attempts at taking the two of you out.

Well that sounds tedious.

*He tilts his head to see what the hiss was about...and notices her blush and the fact that her eyes are fixed solidly on the wall. It gets a quiet chuckle out of him.*

You know, you don't have to pretend you don't want to look. I don't mind, so it seems kind of silly to drive yourself up a wall trying not to enjoy the view.

Stop laughing at me.

And I'm not pretending and I'm not driving myself up a wall.

I'm not blind, you know. It's painfully obvious that you had to force yourself to look away.

Is it really that bad to find a devil good looking?
