- [01:33:53] (non): eyyyyy giiirl
- [01:34:00] (non): so i heard you wanted to do some
- [01:34:01] (non): SADS
- [01:34:06] Nitronoya: WINK WONK
- [01:34:09] Nitronoya: u kno what gets me goin
- [01:34:14] (non): fuckin SWOON
- [01:34:33] (non): did you wanna brainstorm or have you got a good idea
- [01:35:07] Nitronoya: Honestly, I could go anywhere with it. Do you have anything in mind?
- [01:35:43] Nitronoya: The general idea of the event is for people to discover secrets about one another but w/ Vergil that's like
- [01:35:44] Nitronoya: everything
- [01:35:51] Nitronoya: if he had his way
- [01:35:55] (non): seeecreeets
- [01:36:16] Nitronoya: "NO YOU CAN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME"
- [01:36:19] Nitronoya: "AT ALL"
- [01:37:37] (non): so settings i could imagine are like
- [01:38:08] (non): childhood, the events of DMC with the tower n shit, or hell
- [01:38:24] (non): or a mishmash journey through all of them
- [01:38:26] (non): AND
- [01:38:27] (non): ANNNND
- [01:38:34] (non): HE COULD BE GUIDING HB THROUGH THEM LIKE
- [01:38:51] (non): VERGIL DOES FOR DANTE THROUGH HELL IN THE DIVINE COMEDY
- [01:38:53] Nitronoya: Vergil homage
- [01:38:53] Nitronoya: omfg
- [01:38:55] (non): ye
- [01:38:59] Nitronoya: excellent
- [01:40:53] Nitronoya: I really like that idea, but hmmm. For Vergil, being in his memories would be basically debilitating, so him taking an active role might be hard.
- [01:42:43] Nitronoya: The time period would change the secret/truth thing too. Pre-Hell, it'd probably be that he feels responsible for his mother's death/is actually a terrible person, but Hell itself is what he wants to bury and avoid
- [01:42:52] Nitronoya: I'm trying to figure out how to do both
- [01:43:40] (non): verge hiding under his blankets in his room
- [01:43:44] (non): outside his window, flames
- [01:44:12] (non): but im not sure how theyd progress from that, bc fuck if hbs gonna drag a kid outside into hell
- [01:44:16] Nitronoya: basically tbh
- [01:44:28] Nitronoya: progress with Hell at all is a big problem
- [01:44:36] Nitronoya: literally the only way he can cope with any of that is not dealing with it
- [01:44:47] (non): maybe to drag verge OUT of there and into his other memories?
- [01:44:56] (non): sort of a reverse The Descent
- [01:46:04] Nitronoya: that's doable, I think
- [01:46:12] Nitronoya: hmm
- [01:46:39] (non): ending in childhood
- [01:46:45] (non): or u could always just surprise me
- [01:46:46] (non): :3c
- [01:46:52] Nitronoya: I /could/
- [01:47:21] Nitronoya: I have a couple ideas but I like the idea of going backward from the end
- [01:48:02] Nitronoya: I was thinking about having him more tangibly trapped as Nero Angelo in his memories too but
- [01:48:03] Nitronoya: too many ideas
- [01:48:53] (non): you could feasibly do all of them in a shifting mindscape
- [01:49:02] (non): or do several threads with the people who liked your post
- [01:49:07] (non): up 2 u
- [01:50:19] Nitronoya: true yeah
- [01:50:37] Nitronoya: I'll have to mull it over a bit
- [01:50:55] Nitronoya: Do you have any particular preferences? Or anything you wanna accomplish with HB with this?
- [01:51:40] (non): hm
- [01:51:46] (non): i dont really have a preference
- [01:52:01] (non): it is supposed to reveal a truth about the host moreso than the passenger
- [01:52:34] (non): a situation in which violence is not the answer? a situation in which violence IS the answer?
- [01:54:08] Nitronoya: Yeah. It just might help with a specific direction.
- [01:55:53] (non): ponders
- [01:56:07] (non): well his whole deal is like
- [01:56:11] (non): problem avoidance
- [01:56:23] (non): memory repression
- [01:56:39] (non): stubbornly refusing to accept his destiny
- [01:56:45] (non): making his own destiny
- [01:57:34] (non): dealing with his anger
- [01:59:08] (non): maybe having to passively deal with something he would normally use violence to solve
- [01:59:15] (non): maybe having to keep his temper in check
- [01:59:38] (non): maybe...something about his demonic heritage?
- [02:00:29] Nitronoya: that or daddy issues
- [02:00:37] (non): oooo
- [02:00:46] (non): he and verge could bond over daddy issues!
- [02:00:55] (non): because god knows hb has a fuckton of those
- [02:01:05] (non): with both azzael AND prof broom
- [02:03:09] Nitronoya: most of Vergil's daddy issues involve feeling totally inadequate and unworthy beside his father whom he loves and adores, but a small part of him is bitter about him disappearing because of everything he and Dante had to deal with as a result
- [02:03:18] Nitronoya: and their mother's death
- [02:03:35] Nitronoya: though he also feels responsible for his own incapability to fix/do something about those things
- [02:04:07] (non): hb's stem from broom being married to his job
- [02:04:35] (non): which sort of blinded him to how it might affect heebs
- [02:04:55] (non): broom was a really good dad but 1. hb was exposed to really horrific shit too soon in life
- [02:05:07] (non): 2. sometimes the bureau did experiments on the kid
- [02:05:20] Nitronoya: ;n;
- [02:05:42] (non): so that was always like a point of tension between hb and broom
- [02:05:56] (non): but ultimately hb had the best childhood and life he possibly could have thanks to broom
- [02:06:29] (non): like it was because of broom he was taken in and given a sort of family and gotten his honorary human status
- [02:06:41] (non): etc
- [02:07:34] (non): he was also absent a lot when he went on missions and i honestly think he could have given hb more guidance and protection but really it's hard to do that when your kid is a seven foot tall headstrong demon guy
- [02:07:41] (non): at age 8
- [02:08:04] (non): he did the best he could is what im tryina say and hb knows that and doesnt begrudge him
- [02:08:12] (non): whoops im monologuing
- [02:08:18] Nitronoya: no it's ok
- [02:08:21] Nitronoya: it's interesting
- [02:08:23] (non): good
- [02:08:26] (non): and with azzael
- [02:08:39] (non): hb is basically horrified of him, what he's done, and what he wanted hb to do
- [02:09:09] (non): like the circwhoop
- [02:12:57] Nitronoya: I think the closest thing Vergil would have to that wouldn't be his father but would be Mundus basically making him into a soldier and brainwashing him to emotionally and psychologically crush him and to use him to emotionally and psychologically crush his brother
- [02:13:02] Nitronoya: 'cause of a grudge against his dad
- [02:13:50] Nitronoya: and uh, Fakedad who fucked him up a lot physically and psychologically
- [02:14:26] (non): sorry bout that mom needed help
- [02:14:30] Nitronoya: no problem
- [02:15:24] (non): hb's demon heritage is basically screwed up six ways to sunday
- [02:15:53] (non): what do you want to accomplish with verge with this?
- [02:16:03] (non): or with his relationship w/ heebs
- [02:19:39] Nitronoya: Depends a little on the direction of the thread, I think. I feel like the thing that's most likely to come to light here would be 1) what actually had him so messed up when HB first met him, and 2) the degree to which he thinks terribly of himself
- [02:20:18] Nitronoya: Oh, hmm. I don't think Vergil's heritage has actually come up IC yet? But I kind of assume they had offscreen interactions. Idk if it would've come up though.
- [02:20:29] Nitronoya: I mean
- [02:20:45] Nitronoya: HB's probably hasn't either as a topic of conversation unless he brought it up, but
- [02:20:46] Nitronoya: that one's
- [02:21:00] Nitronoya: not hard to take a guess at, at least in the vaguest of ways
- [02:21:05] Nitronoya: "probably a demony guy"
- [02:21:12] (non): oh, true
- [02:21:22] (non): i mean, demons in heebses uniiverse arent like
- [02:21:24] (non): pretty, at all
- [02:21:33] (non): unless they have a glamour going on
- [02:21:46] (non): his uncle and sister have been shown to appear as human
- [02:22:21] Nitronoya: Yeah. And I dunno if Dante would be forthcoming talking about it, either.
- [02:22:34] (non): he's probably guessed the twins aren't human though
- [02:22:43] Nitronoya: the thing about Vergil's heritage is that it doesn't really /bother/ him
- [02:22:47] Nitronoya: his dad was gr8
- [02:22:52] Nitronoya: Sparda was /perfect/ in his eyes
- [02:23:01] Nitronoya: except the whole going and getting himself trapped/killed/???????????????????
- [02:23:51] Nitronoya: I always kind of have a hard time figuring out how to write about this because in DMC3, obviously his heritage is important to him, but
- [02:23:59] Nitronoya: it has more to do with /Sparda/ than with being a demon
- [02:24:17] Nitronoya: half demon
- [02:24:57] (non): well yeah hbs stuff isnt about the fact that hes a demon per se but
- [02:25:09] Nitronoya: More the destroyer of worlds thing?
- [02:25:18] Nitronoya: BRINGER OF DOOM
- [02:25:18] (non): more the fact he isn't accepting his inheritance/birthright/'purpose'
- [02:25:35] (non): which is entirely his father's doing
- [02:27:40] Nitronoya: Yeah. Hmmm. In that sense, I suppose Vergil's the opposite -- he sees very little value in himself and instead strives to...basically be his father, even while believing that he could never succeed. Or he did. He doesn't really have much particular drive about that at the moment, but since this is in his memories it's pretty flexible.
- [02:28:52] Nitronoya: It'd be less directly relevant to Vergil's development but might be relevant to their relationship or HB's understanding of him or Idk something of that nature
- [02:30:31] (non): heebs also wanted to be like an idealized version of the professor when he was a kid
- [02:30:53] (non): hm
- [02:31:14] (non): maybe something that they couldn't deal with by drinking their problems away
