Lady gave a slow nod; a silent confirmation that she, indeed, hunted monsters. However, the cause of her nightmares extended far beyond the realm of the demonic, into the haunting territory of patricide— a necessary sacrifice for the good of mankind that still weighed upon her soul even today. >

/ if it weren't for the fact that she feared this giganotosaurus could crush her into paste at any moment, she would have sent Dante back in the van with Nico already😂

/ lady calmly negotiating with an eight-foot-tall overpowered being from another dimension and using only a subtle resemblance to his lost girlfriend as an ace up her sleeve that she isn't even aware she's having is so IC for her, lmao

Lady felt the inexplicable tug of familiarity, too, yet she was fairly certain she had never met him in her life. She doubted she could forget such an unusual figure. He looked carved from moonlight and stillness, sharp cheekbones and storm-quiet grace. His skin carried the pale, opalescent sheen >

The devil huntress paused. She hadn't expected her flippant request to be taken into serious consideration, much less receive a favorable response. Then again, the man ( being?) before her didn't strike her as the jesting type. "I'd appreciate it, so long as they're nice dreams and not >

/ bruh, this week has been a nightmare.

She was feeling— 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 tonight, in a way she hadn't felt in a long time. She had already collected her pay from Morrison for her latest gig, and insomnia still plagued her. Checking the time, Lady considered her options. Maybe she should hit the club.

/ I miss all my ships with John good times good times

"Word through the grapevine is you're the best sleep doctor in the business. I'll give you twenty bucks if you can cure my insomnia and give me some good dreams for once, mister Sandman."

Lady raised a questioning eyebrow, but didn't bother asking what that look was for. She doubted she'd receive a straight answer. "By peers, you mean my cellmates, right?" the huntress drawled. The thought of sharing a cell with any convict made her skin crawl. >

/ omg, bookmarks! thank you, lord!

"Peek-a-boo, time to kill you."

Eating a slice of greasy pizza with extra mozzarella cheese while sitting perched on Dante's desk.

"That's nice. I'm sure those people are grateful to be given a purpose and to find a meaning down here. Not the case for me, though. The world above's the one I need to be in, and the one that needs me." Or was it the other way around? She shrugged casually.

Was he― was he seriously asking her that or was this his way of messing with her? Lots of things. Reading books― did he enjoy that? Shopping. Cooking. Hanging out with frie― okay, nevermind that last one.

That was for him to decide, but it definitely shouldn't consist of brooding only. Try something else for once, Vergil!

/ man, i wish the dmc community on here were bigger :(

"Since Dante's nowhere to be seen, I'll just help myself to all of his pizza and whiskey. Sure he won't mind."

She had no intention of getting used to life down here. She'd sooner press a gun to her head and pull the trigger than spend a day longer than demanded of her in this place. "So you keep saying—You almost sound like you 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 me to stay here. Well, not gonna happen. I have a job to do."

"It wasn't a threat. Just a thought. A fleeting one. Doesn't mean I'll act on it. I imagine prisoners try to kill you all the time. You must be used to it." But if she were to ever make such a bold attempt, Lady was willing to bet she'd be the first to succeed— or at least come closest to it.

In other words, just a regular Thursday.

"The urge to grab him by the tie and strangle him with it has crossed my mind once or twice."

💥It's been 4 months?? 😭Again?

"Another day, another job where I don't get paid enough. After so many years, think I'm ready to follow Dante's example and sleep in more."

@buriedjudgement.bsky.social How long had it been since they last faced each other on the battlefield? It felt like a lifetime ago. So many years had passed, so many things had changed in the meantime. But what of him? How much had recent events changed him? Lady couldn't say, but she found >

"I'd say it's time to get this party started." Giving her boots' laces one last firm tug to ensure they're tight enough before heaving her rocket launcher and slinging it over her shoulder. "Those demons aren't going to off themselves."
