[ Today, there's an awfully familiar voice suddenly being broadcast over the network. One that has been absent for a little over a month now. ]

Hey, you false gods. It's rather rude to throw out a guest just after you've returned something that was rightfully his to begin with.

[ Then the video feed clicks on, and anyone watching is met with those crimson eyes, oddly enough filled with amusement despite his less than friendly sounding tone. It seems like he's sitting on a throne... but the sky is all around him? What the hell is going on here? ]

It's a good thing I was able to hide it away from these mongrels before my sudden departure. I'm sure you filthy animals would have loved to get your unworthy paws all over my treasure. Just the thought of it makes me want to vomit.

[ Yes, he's gloating. And now showing off as much of his super awesome ancient airship as he can. Granted, it's also dripping wet and covered in various sea-life at the moment. But he'll have it cleaned. Eventually. ]

Anyway. I'll require information about all that has taken place since my departure.

[heavenscorpse]

You're late.

[king_of_heroes]

I wasn't aware I was being timed.

[heavenscorpse]

I've been here for almost two weeks without my family, I was lonely.

[king_of_heroes]

Your fam--

Wait, does that mean that...?

[heavenscorpse]

Mmmhm! Unless you're not okay with it.

[king_of_heroes]

...I suppose I have no objections. But I thought you were close with her too. Has she been taken away from this realm as well?

[heavenscorpse]

She's gone too. Maybe she'll come back.

[king_of_heroes]

...I see. Things must be pretty boring around here, then.

[heavenscorpse]

Mmmhm, they are. I'm glad you're back, Gil-papa.

[king_of_heroes]

...

That's certainly going to take some getting use to.

I'm glad to be back. Nobody has been picking on you since your return, have they?

[heavenscorpse]

Everybody's been really nice and happy to see me.

[king_of_heroes]

Good. Because I'd have to knock some heads together otherwise.

...Oh, how's the shop? I assume it's turned into a horrible madhouse.

[heavenscorpse]

Diarmuid's been running it, and I've been working really hard, so it's doing fine.

[king_of_heroes]

...Not that I exactly trust him, but if you say so, then I'll take your word for it.

[heavenscorpse]

I know you don't like each other, but he is a nice person.

[king_of_heroes]

Being nice has nothing to do with it.

[heavenscorpse]

He wouldn't mess up your business out of spite.

[king_of_heroes]

[ This is just something he isn't going to win. Sorry, Gil.

After a defeated sigh, he'll try to derail the topic. ]

Have you gotten to check on the little ones lately?

[heavenscorpse]

They're doing really well! I introduced them to Kaoru and they liked her.

[king_of_heroes]

Not that surprised. They are the most tame felines around. My own fault, I know. But it's probably better that way. Mongrels would throw a fit if the cubs ate their dumb mutts.

[heavenscorpse]

I think it's fine that they're tame. You don't need them to scare anyone off when you can do that yourself.

[king_of_heroes]

True. That might prove to be troublesome.


Although that usually results in fun, so...

[heavenscorpse]

Behave responsibly.

[king_of_heroes]

Oh, are you going to make me?

[heavenscorpse]

Of course. I don't want you to get in trouble, so I have to do things for your own good.
