... What is that?

Cheese Cake. With Cookies and Cream.

... That sounds really... Sweet.

It sounds delicious!

You and your sweets.

What about them.

... I also mistook your mouth for a goatee.

Pretty sure I'd look terrible with facial hair. I mean, can you imagine me with a mustache?

...that I could twirl while I laugh ominously...

...

...

...

...no, that'd be a terrible idea.

Wear a top hat and a cloak.

Why are you encouraging it?

It amuses me.

And that worries me.

No, no, the more I think about it the less I want to dress/act like that kind of cartoon-y villain.

I mean, they never get the girls, and are always beaten by blundering meat heads.

...not that I'm bitter or anything.

So? Enjoy yourself. You have neighbors who like you, Two adoring wives and a rather sporty hot girlfriend, and a kid who loves you.

And I know for a fact Shiroko is appreciative of you. Though her interest in pink shirts at times worries me.

No, it's really not the kind of thing I'm going for. I was just momentarily tempted.

Sigh.

You try to tempt too much.

It's better to wait for a genuine sign of weakness, and press them then, and only then.

I'm 16. You're implying I have patience of any sort.

Even 16 year olds have SOME patience. They aren't 3 year olds who don't know any better.

Spoiled and 16.

If I still were with my parents, I'd be whining for credit cards repeatedly and going "Daddy~~~". ... Yeah.

... That's. Very disappointing.

Also rather unappealing.

...why are you being jailbait again?

At least I admit my critical flaws and lay them bare?

I was tired of feeling under-appreciated and old.

I suppose. Though I do try to be critical of my own flaws as well.

I fail to see how things were different, really.

I like being jail bait? How the hell should I know.

Admittedly, I do like more slender girls more, but it seems like Domino in general is the opposite, so.

My fault.

...yes, these days I'm starting to think a lot of things stem from you, Noriko.

I'm not sure how to feel about it, honestly.

Is there a problem a lot of things stem from me?

I'm not sure I approve of them.

Like that one girl becoming a succubus.

Or everyone wanting very curvy... plump rather, bodies on women.

Not even getting into things like those... remotes.

Succubus?

... That's the fault of Pork, Chicken, and Beef being introduced to the Japanese Diet.

... Those are more Skull Servants' fault.

Gal that posted above you.

Partially, sure, but you've had influences as well.

Well, I guess I know what to wipe out, then.

She had desires and thought of herself as such. Magic Cueball Computer changed her. Not even I know how.

... How so?

They never go away. It's like the Ferengi. But real.

...ah, that blasted computer. Good thing I've neutered it.

That's what I've heard.

...an endless supply of mooks to take out my aggression on, you say? Guess I should start walking around with lots of cash on me.

The only one who could explain the thing intelligently enough would be Gren Maju Da Eiza.

I don't really pay that much attention. I'm honestly more in the business of corrupting Jinn and Onni.

And they keep getting back up.

Isn't that technically who you are? Or are you a subset, like how I'm really a subset of Erebus?

I imagine that trickles down... or you use people near them to achieve that end.

You underestimate how thorough I am with that sort of thing.

I'm Wakahisa Noriko, a member of the Da Eiza collective, wearing Da Eiza as a zoot suit.

How did you realize my master plans?

And they keep appearing. They're rather obnoxious.

Even I wouldn't wear a zoot suit. ... Probably. You should get a new tailor.

You need new master plans.

Just like random encounters.

I make it fashionable, honey.

Like?

Pretty much!

I still think it could do with a bit less material.

...I don't know, I don't think 'corruption'.

Like?

There is nothing wrong with being in the business of corruption if it makes people happier.

Trim things up a bit.

The whole idea of corruption is that it's usually short term gains in the face of long term consequences. Often, the person enjoying the gains isn't the one paying the consequences, which is why people resent it so much.

... Huh?

And not following. Everyone seems to be happy, 'cept you.

I take offense at being called 'blundering'

So you're fully accepting being a meat-head, then?

I'm accepting that nobody will listen to me if I try to argue on that one.

Honestly, I saw you as... ... a bit better than that.

You were at least part of the formal sport of boxing... it wasn't just you beating up other thugs in a back alley, you dealt with weight limits, rules, and so forth.

....

Then who's a blundering meathead?

...technically I was referring to fiction there, like the kind you'd find in RPGs, or really camp old cartoon shows. The kind that'd play opposite a mustache twirling villain dressed all in black.

The more we talk about this, though, the more I'm reconsidering.

Oh.

Okay I know who you're talking about now.

...if you say so.
