[When Venus enters For Goodness' Cakes, she'll be pretty readily able to spot Grimm. A six foot moth-bat? sticks out even among Prismals, let alone the moonblessed.

Similarly, Venus is pretty distinctive, so he spots her immediately.]

Pleased to meet you in person, Venus.

[Grimm bows to her. Just because they're almost-devils doesn't mean he can't be polite!]

hey it's leone abbacchio
i don't think i have to explain who i am im sure you remember

i wanted to apologize
i know i'm always kind of a pissy piece of shit usually but sanguis definitely can amplify that
and
it's stupid but i get really overprotective of the bf
and i took it out on you by being a jackass

you don't have to forgive me or whatever
i dont expect you to
but i owed you an apology
you had some real shit going on and all i did was try to make you feel bad for no good reason
so yeah

good luck out there

[ she doesn't remember, actually. she has to keep reading for the username to finally click in her head. and when it does, she's so, so tempted to just... drop it? pretend that she didn't see this post and just go about her life ignoring it.

but that seems like a kind of bitch move. and after the week from hell, she just wants to stop being mean for one fucking second. so she reads the entire post, and tries to breathe it out, and finally types a response: ]

it's ok
apology accepted i guess?
except i don't even feel right saying that since you didn't really say anything that wrong

sorry for freaking out on you.
usually i can handle it when people start sounding like my dad
but the whole body changes thing made it like...
way too close to home. idk

i called you stupid and ugly and i don't think i want to sound like your dad based on what you said so
(is your dad even god i don't know how your satan stuff works)
it's ok that you freaked out
i was a dick so it evens out

oh yeah?
you don't have to explain it if you want
but i don't know if i'd get it because satan stuff

oh ugh. not THAT dad?
he’s my heavenly father and all that stuff but i’d rather die than call him dad. you know?
it’s just gross. he’s such an asshole.

anyway this was just my normal human dad
he was just always...
i think he was worried i’d be bullied or something?
but all that means is he was always telling me how men were supposed to act, and how i needed to man up
you know. that kind of stuff
and when i stopped trying to be a guy and just let the devil in it was like
i realized how shitty all of it had been?
so...

haha. i’m rambling again huh? sorry
i guess the point is having to deal with two dicks was just a shitty reminder of all that
that’s all

oh
OH
holy shit that's what you meant
i didnt even realize you used to be human
fuck

but i kinda get it
my mom was similar
used to tell me to just be a normal boy that i was disappointing my nonna's ghost or some bullshit

sorry i didnt realize how bad it was for you

haha. yeah.
sometimes it's easy to forget just how many people don't really get that?
where i'm from the devil is a lot different, i think

yeah that kind of sounds like mom alright.
we didn't do the ghost thing though? i think that's probably more catholic. maybe.
she'd just mention how disappointed dad was, and how god had a perfect plan and we needed to work towards it
gross, right? totally gross.

it's ok
i mean, it's not exactly?
but i'd rather it be ok than worry about it and always feel weird and upset
so. it's ok

yeah i'd say so.
it really puts shit in perspective

mine really just said shit like "your nonna is rolling in her grave" and "you're spitting on her soul" it was dramatic and stupid
but yeah. gross. fuck them honestly

well. it's ok that its not ok too
but i can leave it alone if you want.
just
i can kind of relate
not 100% obviously
but i kinda do

yeah. haha. fuck all of them.
and i'm glad things make more sense?
like. for real.
you have to be pretty crappy to become the devil, but i kind of like it more when people actually understand just how bad it was. you know?

and i think... for now it's just gonna be ok that it's not ok.
maybe it'll be actually ok in a few days?
who knows. i kind of get distracted and forget everything if i just wait it out.
it's definitely a lot more ok than it was yesterday at least.

did that make any sense? it just looks like i said ok like six times

do you have to be crappy or just self-aware of how everything else is shitty?
guess that's food for thought for another time tho

nah
i understand
it's fine

thanks for talking it out with me

idk they're kind of the same thing?
like things aren't shitty if you're a good person who does everything right and stays friends with the good kids and stuff like that
that's kind of the problem. god's great and all-forgiving and all as long as you're one of his faves
it's the others that get thrown out with the bath water

and uh. i'm pretty sure i should be thanking you?
i just kind of assumed you'd be someone i needed to avoid forever, so it's nice to know that you're not actually a giant asshole.
or that even if you are, you're at least nice to talk to sometimes?
which is basically the same thing, so. you know

i guess that's fair
fuck it anyway what's god ever done for me

oh no don't worry im actually a giant asshole
but
anyway
i dont know how long you've been the devil
but i've been around the block so to speak so
anyway. i'd rather be someone you can talk to if you need to than not
if you want

hell yeah!! screw that guy.
i mean. technically he did create you?
like, he's a jerk, but i don't want to underplay that part.
but also, that's not a free pass to be shitty, so like. he can fuck off. haha

oh, uh.
about... a year? maybe?
i got kidnapped to the last place like. literally two hours after it happened
and my girlfriends never showed up
so i'm sort of just winging this whole thing.
(haha. winging it)

[ holy shit. ]

Oh wow.

[ she was sort of worried, before she showed up, that she wouldn't be able to spot grimm. she hasn't actually figured out how to look up people's pictures yet? so, you know. if he's devilish in any way, she could probably spot him, but what if he just looks like a normal guy??

anyway, turns out all of that is entirely meaningless, because this motherfucker looks more like the devil than any other devil she's ever met, period. when she's collected herself enough to stop vibrating with excitement, she mimics his bow - long, deep, even her wings tilting forward as she does. ]

Same?? I mean. The feeling's definitely mutual, Grimm.

[He does not, in fact, look like a normal guy. Crisis averted.]

You flatter me. Shall we have a seat?

[There are pastries to be had and friends to make.]

yeah and my mom gave birth to me but fuck her too honestly
sure i went to the afterlife but who the hell knows what that means if he lets someone like ME in
too many standards and not enough standards
what the hell

holy shit do you have wings
also sorry your girlfriends aren't here
that sucks

yeah. you get it
also wow. i've never even been to hell?
like i figure i probably would've seen it pretty quickly if i hadn't been kidnapped but you know

also i totally have wings.
they rule? i love them
do you... want to see them or anything

Yeah! Um. Yes, please.

[ she starts towards a table, a single slither of her hips and tail - and then she seems to realize something. she comes to a stop with a sheepish glance grimm's way, a few of the eyes on her wings still trailing on the sweets behind the display glass.

sorry, grimm! looks like your serpentine date is waiting for you to take the lead. ]

Edited 2019-12-18 00:51 (UTC)

[Oh! Yes, of course, how terribly rude of him.

He pulls out a chair at a table for her, as a gentleman should.]

holy shit
i never got wings in all of my furry time here
fuck yes i want to see

heck yeah!! okay
one sec

[ click! the sanguis moonblessing is over, and thank fuck, because it means venus just looks like... you know. venus. glowing bright and steadfast, fair and slender, and with hair just a little too long for where it should be - someone needs a cut, bad. ]

Check this out. [ and one by one, her wings extend outward - a hundred eyes on each watching the camera and everywhere around it. it is, quite frankly, sort of awesome. ] What do you think? Pretty cool, right?

hey, venus?

just a heads up, but yaomomo's gone. i know you wanted to meet her
sorry.

oh.

[ and then there's a bit of a silence. thirty seconds, probably. finally, more text appears: ]

sorry. she sounded really nice

[ and for like two or three minutes, that's all there is - just those two lines of text and an awkward "aphrodite is typing..." that pops in and out. finally, one last line: ]

want me to come over?

[Honestly? Once that typing bubble pops in for the second time, Jiro figures this is gonna take her a moment.
So she puts it all to the side and goes back to whatever she was doing -
Which is mostly just. Noodling on her guitar, huddled up in her room because she can't really stand the rest of her apartment, right now.

... She takes a second to reply, though, ending up sitting there typing and backspacing for a bit herself.]

you can if you want i guess
it's not like i'm gonna be great company though.

that's ok. i'm not really good at it either so
i'll be over in uh. fifteen? maybe twenty. let me grab some stuff

[ it's more like twenty-five. but sure enough, there's a knock at the door, and there is venus standing before it. she looks... alright, honestly? nothing too special. she's got shorts and a crop top, because someone doesn't really feed cold when she's a literal organic heat lamp, and she's grabbed a pillow or two and an extra blanket that she's tucked under her arms. ]
