✨ you only get one chance...

[liltuna]

THE FIRST IMPRESSION MEME   You only get once chance to put your best foot forward. Screw that up, and you'll be forever seared in someone's mind as the person who had spinach in their teeth, or worse! ✨HOW TO PLAY 1. Drop a top-level! 2. If you have previous CR with someone, you'll have to let them know what your first-impression of them was. If this is your first time meeting, you'll be compelled to share what kind of vibe they give off. It's okay to be honest! Are they gross? Do they seem approachable? Do you find them incredibly hot?  3. Find out if your first impression was correct! Maybe that strange loner actually has a heart of gold? You'll never know unless you talk to them!

At least you're honest. That's more than can be said for many people.

I never claimed to be nice, either.

[He pauses, thoughtfully.]

I do care about justice a great deal, yes. I don't take offense at that assessment, even if we disagree on the value of justice.

[bloodblades]

That we do.

[Crow just shrugs and smirks again. Most don't value his penchant for honesty once they are faced with it.]

A deal's not worth shit if you're not honest about it. I can't stand scammers or people who break their word.

[He doesn't even know why he has this aversion. A lot of the other successful Devilmen don't make that distinction, but Crow sturdily refuses to do it. Any word-breaking he does doesn't happen consciously.]

That's also why I can tell you that any using I plan of you won't be to your detriment. If anything, it'll play right into what you want. Justice~

[judgmental]

That's an opinion we share. Those who use dishonesty to take advantage of others are reprehensible.

[He does use deceit himself, but mainly to protect himself and his interests, out of necessity.]

Yes, in the case of your situation... our views are aligned.

[Odd as that is, considering how different both they and their beliefs are. But there have been stranger allies...]

I initially thought we might be on opposing sides, but fortunately, that's not the case.

[bloodblades]

[His eyes narrow for a moment before Crow is back to his usual smirking.]

Is that what your sense of justice is telling you?

[His smirk grows wider upon hearing those words. If Yuri squints he might even catch Crow's eyes appear a little bit warmer for a moment.]

I didn't. You'd be surprised with how many 'righteous' people I've already worked with or delivered my wares to.

[judgmental]

You could say so. Perhaps we wouldn't be on the same side in every case... but where your situation is concerned, then yes.

[Yuri is sure that it's possible that in another situation, they could find themselves at odds. Crow's enemies are simply so reprehensible that the correct conclusion is obvious. And Crow was forced into his role.]

I have no interest in your wares. I'm interested in justice, that's all.

[The extent to which Yuri is not interested in non-justice matters might surprise some people. Not that he has no other interests, but they're limited.]

[bloodblades]

I can take that. [If their situations were more similar, the worlds they are from a little more aligned, then Crow might have never become the person he now is. He has a faint notion that he once believed in laws or at least in doing the right things.]

Justice takes power to create and protect it. Besides, I don't only sell weapons. Pretty much the only things I refuse to deal with is lives. Escorting somebody as a bodyguard for a brief time is the most I'll do in that regard.

[He doesn't kill for hire. He doesn't deal in slaves or animals, either. Anything that has lives involved with it is just generally too messy for his liking.]

....Vergil was an accident. I'm still staying by that!
