Hm. You're welcome. It's the least I could do. [ Really, he was lonely. But he's pleased that she's playing along.

Even if it's overboard... he's pleased by the effort. And curious about this "offering"! ]

Yes, I suppose I do.

[oceanaria]

I'm glad. I was worried that it might be too late for the ritual.

[ The biggest part of the said ritual is her pulling out a small box wrapped in decorative paper. It contains the most spooky keychain she could find. ]

Merry sunsu, Death Chronos-san. Kukuku.

[ She clearly needs to work on her evil laugh. ]

[mysterybone]

I don't think it's too late. I'm not sure...

[ But he's obviously really happy to get a gift. He takes the little box and opens it up, pulling the keychain out with wide eyes. It's a little bat and everything! It's perfect! But he has to keep his cool. So he calms himself a little. ]

Huhuhu, you've done well! For this gift I don't have to curse you!

[ And he'd be willing to teach her how to properly give an evil laugh... but he'll forgive her for now. ]

[oceanaria]

I'm grateful, Death Chronos-san.

[ For not having to deal with a curse, that is. ]

How many people have you cursed so far, by the way?

[ Because this is a legit conversation subject. ]

[mysterybone]

Heheh! You should be. Very much so!

[ he sets the keychain aside and puts his hands on his hips. ]

Not very many. Because surprisingly, the people here are very useful...

[oceanaria]

Surprisingly...

[ Maybe she shouldn't ask any more questions, but. ]

Useful? In what way?

[mysterybone]

[ nod nod ]

For example, they help me complete tasks, and they keep me company...

It's not as though I need the company! But with Eva-sama gone, I suppose I do need someone to talk to once in a while.

[oceanaria]

I can help you with these tasks too. As long as they're not too sketchy.

[ Just a little sketchy is fair, though. ]

If you'd like, of course. I'm sure that Death Chronos-san doesn't need help from a mere mortal like me. Or we can talk from time to time, too...

[mysterybone]

[ He seems to consider this for a moment. She plays along with everything, which pleases him and makes him feel closer to home. Not that he'd express such sentiments of course! He straightens up a little and then nods. ]

You may have your uses. I'll count you among my allies for now.

[oceanaria]

I may have my uses.

[ Riko frowns at that, but it doesn't last too long. ]

I don't have to change my name to something else, right? I can still be Riko...right?

[ Something like Demon Princess or something along these lines. ]

[mysterybone]

Well... Eva-sama would give you a name, but since he's not here...

I guess you can go by whatever you want.

[ He would be happier if she went by Demon Princess though. ]
