[occulthymns]

Cheriour? There's been another situation with Diva.

Um... a bunch, actually.

[Audio]

[clockeyes]

Euri?

[Bunch of situations with Diva? Is this what the anonymous message was referring to?]

Tell me. Has anybody been killed? Hurt? What has happened?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

No one's been killed, but she's threatening me, Dog, and someone I know. Kaz. She's trying to blackmail him and she hurt him last night.

[The situation with Diva has gotten a lot more dangerous, so she is gneuinely worried for herself, Dog and Kaz.

Cheriour, too. She doesn't want him to be manipulated by Diva.]

[Audio]

[clockeyes]

Kaz? Isn't that the one who keeps calling me a golem?

[Okay, he needs to put aside the trivial matter of what he keeps getting called by people, this is serious.]

Threatening? And she hurt him? [He narrows his eyebrows slightly.] How come, what did she do?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Yeah, probably. [It makes sense to her why he'd do it.

And Euri takes a deep breath!]

She got really pissed off because to her he... picked me over her. [Yeah, jealousy.] She attacked him in his room - bit him, he's still got the marks - and um....

... Threatened to have you kill him.

[Audio]

[clockeyes]

[What.]

[Threatened to have him kill Kaz?]

[He looks offended by that, and rightfully so- he was an angel of justice, not some commonplace assassin for hire.]

...I assure you, I would not follow Diva's orders so readily if she did want to have me kill him. I do my research on the situation first, Euri. I don't simply go and kill someone on someone else's whim. The only exception to that is the Lord Himself, of course.

[A pause.] Is it possible to talk to Kaz about it?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[That's a relief to hear. Kaz is a complete jerk but she's fairly sure Cheriour wouldn't consider him kill-worthy.] G - good! Because he hasn't done anything that bad! He's a puppy compared to Diva, and he's getting better every day!

[Oh, hm. It couldn't hurt!] Okay! I've been making him stay around my room, so I'll get him.

[Which is partially true, although she knows he's also terrified of going back to Hel house....]

[Audio]

[clockeyes]

[His voice is firm.] I'll see for myself, Euri. Just get him to me as soon as you can, thank you.

[Audio]

[parasiteye]

[ --aaaaand a little bit later: ]

...Hey golem.

[Audio]

[clockeyes]

Kaz.

[His tone is more authoritative than usual- this is a serious matter, and he needs to get all the details of each side as he can get.]

Tell me, in your own words, what occurred.

[Audio] 1/2

[parasiteye]

It's like I told Euri--

Wait, hang on a sec.

[Audio - Filtered]

[parasiteye]

Diva flipped the fuck out, came to my room with a shotgun and basically said I do whatever she wants or she offs me, Euri, and her stupid smelly do--ow! [ doop doop getting punched in the arm for like...the 34895389th time ]

Ugh... Her wonderful gorgeous mutt who smells like rainbows and roses.

Then she almost bit my head off an' I escaped. Tada.

[Audio - Filtered]

[clockeyes]

[He just stares for a moment as he tries to process this.]

...And, um, did she ever explain why she, as you say "flipped out"? What was her reason for getting angry with you when she wasn't angry with you before?

Did you do something with Euri to make her jealous?

[Audio - Filtered]

[parasiteye]

How should I know?? Those two have hated each other since they met! But for whatever reason Diva thinks I've got this thing for Euri and her way of dealing with it is to turn into a psycho bitch.

[Audio - Filtered]

[clockeyes]

Envy, then.

[It's one of the cardinal seven sins. Oh, Diva, you really do know how to make yourself look bad in Cheriour's eyes.]

Do you think she will try to hurt you again?

[Audio - Filtered]

[parasiteye]

She's been sending me psycho murder messages since I got out of Hel. So yeah, just a bit sure on that one.

[Audio - Filtered]

[clockeyes]

[Without even a pause:]

Either send me or play for me these messages of yours. I want to hear them.

[Audio - Filtered]

[parasiteye]

...Fine. It says it's not from anyone but it's definitely from her, one sec.

-- msg.txt --

Euri says she's got one too. Uhh...right here.

[Audio - Filtered]

[clockeyes]

Hmmmmm.

[Interesting. And he himself got an anonymous text a while ago, though that was much better in tone than Kaz's. Though the second one by Euri brings up intriguing points.]

...Kaz, is this true that you engaged in sexual activity with Diva? Don't lie.

[Audio - Filtered]

[parasiteye]

[ --oh my god euri don't look at him like that DON'T JUDGE HIM ]

Why does that matter?? It's got nothing to do with her trying to rip me in half.

[Audio - Filtered]

[clockeyes]

[A slight sigh. KAZ, DON'T BE UNCOOPERATIVE, IT LOOKS BAD.]

Kaz, I must collect together all the details of why she would do something like this. Is it true that you had sexual relations with her?

[Audio - Filtered] FOREVER I'm lazy

[parasiteye]

[ guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh ]

...Sort of.

forever and ever

[clockeyes]

Illuminate what "sort of" means, Kaz.

[parasiteye]

Yes. Fuck what do you want, a play-by-play of the whole fucking thing??

[clockeyes]

No, I'm merely asking you if that is a "yes, I did have a relationship more than friendship with her", or "no, sex has nothing to do with our relationship at all".
