Hi.

[ and then a pause, where it seems as if that's all that's going to be sent while he has a moment of uncertainty of whether or not he's doing this right. but thankfully, he carries on. ]

I'm Zagreus, one of the newly arrived, nice to meet you all.
I just have a question, does anyone have access to any fire resistant footwear?
Sandals or er, sneakers? Is that what they're called? Anything is fine.
Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent surfaces from burning when I stand on them, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks very much for your time.

closes my eyes

[ unfortunately, zagreus is unaware of what feet pics really mean, so toji will get sent a picture of zag's feet. they're shaped regularly, except they're colored like hot coal, a bright yellow-red. the ground beneath him looks a little burnt. ]

[assassinsgreed]

thanks

_{[ but he has zero actual interest in helping this guy.. ]}

maybe learn to not let your power get out of hand.. whatever power that may be

[emancipating]

[ figures; it be like that. at least he takes it in stride. ]

Would that I could, mate, but thanks anyway.

[assassinsgreed]

i'm nobody's mate

_{[ he is lone wolf... awoo... other than heterosexual nonsense with Yor. ]}

ask lilith
they deal with a lot of monsters
surely some of them have produced a need for shoes like this

[emancipating]

Not saying you were, it's a figure of speech, you know.
Like friend, or buddy?
Nevermind.

I think I will, if I don't end up finding that store someone mentioned earlier.
But I'd rather not owe them if I can avoid it.

[assassinsgreed]

not anybody's buddy

how did you manage avoiding this problem back home?

[emancipating]

[ but not nobody's friend, huh... interesting. ]

[emancipating]

I'm from the Underworld; burning comes with the territory, so I didn't have to worry about it.

[assassinsgreed]

so you're a demon? something otherworldly, then?

[emancipating]

You could say that, yes.
But my mother, she was part mortal. So I'm a bit of both.

[assassinsgreed]

a mutt
good for you

both gods and humanity are cruel
if you're both, does that make you twice as cruel?

[emancipating]

Why don't you see for yourself?

1/2

[assassinsgreed]

pass
waste of time

[assassinsgreed]

<sub>[ but he does a little nosing around and it looks like.. he’s been hanging out with Megumi?

Hm. ]</sub>

changed my mind
buy me a meal and ill find out

_{[ he changed his mind in like 10 seconds ]}

[emancipating]

[ zagreus had admittedly meant for it to be a throwaway line. this person doesn't seem like the type who would take anything he'd say at face value; maybe the kind of person who does better with action than words. the first response was expected, but the sudden change of heart isn't. ]

What do you like to eat?

[assassinsgreed]

offal

_{[ GROSS.. ]}

buy me yakiniku

_{[ EXPENSIVE!! ]}

[emancipating]

[ zag like, lol it's just yakiniku what could it cost?? ]

[emancipating]

[ and then he looks it up. ]

done

[emancipating]

All right.
Maybe in a few week's time?

[ he needs to. save up. ]

[assassinsgreed]

fine

_{[ He can wait forever if it means getting something for free. ]}

keep your word and don't forget
