-- STAND YOUR GROUND #I cw: potential torture, gore & demoncide
[ At first, Squalo's focused on the mission. Oh, sure, he looks through some of the boxes on the way, but not too many, not too thoroughly, and he's certainly not looking to fill his pockets with anything. Well, if he finds a real nice blade, he might take it, but that's about as much as it goes. They need to restore power, after all. ]
[ His interest is piqued, though, when he comes across the prison. ]
[ You may find him being nice, trying to coax whatever secret a demon is offering via sympathizing and explaining how dangerous it is for him to cut the chains without knowing whether it's going to be worth it. He might outright be swearing to let them go as soon as he hears the words of interest. ]
::
[ Maybe the prisoners were too smart to fall for it, or maybe he's just greedy and the next one isn't all that keen on chitchat, seeing their friend not be released after all. Squalo's taking his sword and starting to draw long vertical lines starting at their face, without even a flinch as if he were raking bread. Depending how successfully it goes, he may be ripping off ribbons of flesh by the time you find him. ]
I'll ask again. What do you know about Lucifer?
::
[ Whether or not that works, maybe just taking too long for his liking, he just might actually free one of the unfortunate souls -- though he will grip them by the wrist before they can run off and remind them to keep up their end of the bargain. As soon as the demon finishes speaking, good information or not, a sword blade runs cleanly through their throat, leaving them sinking to the ground in a pool of blood. Squalo looks down and wipes the blood off as if it's a Tuesday. Some of the remaining prisoners may be expressing disdain. ]
I said I'd let you go. That's what I did.
[ He never specified what he would or would not do then. ]
-- REACH UP HIGH #I cw: cutting, blood, possibly torture
[ Again. This most have been one of Lucifer's more favorite games, then. Squalo is picky about his permanent marks, thank you, but he definitely has double standards where someone else may be concerned. ]
[ By the time you've finished taking in the surroundings, he's already twirling a knife in his right hand, leaning over to glance over your list of sins with, apparently, not too much interest. ]
[ His own list being in the open doesn't seem to bother him at all; if you manage to get a look there's a reasonably wide variety of sins, although the most prominent, repeated over and over causing his list to be strewn down the table and across the floor appears to be murder. ]
[ He's just raising an eyebrow at you and offering a half-grin. ]
Let's start then. Any preferences for your new body art?
[ How kind of him, he just might let you choose. ]
-- FOLLOW ME DOWN #I cw: honestly his singing counts as torture too
[ Squalo's a regular at the bar at this point, although it may be interesting to note that while events in the Carnival had caused him to drink more, dying in the Maze has apparently had the opposite effect. He's less tense, and back to his usual alcohol intake, meaning he's not actually trying to carry glasses (or whole bottles) out of the bar. ]
[ He's still downing those things pretty quickly though, and for a few moments it's almost like he didn't even notice you near the bar. But then he raises his empty glass in a greeting. ]
Hey. What's new?
::
[ Or maybe you're unfortunate enough when he's decided to try out that weird "karaoke" thing. It turns out to be more fun than he thinks, and you'll probably walk in on him half-singing, half-yelling partway through something that sounds vaguely like some popular opperetta or a song from a classic musical. ]
[ There's a problem aside from his way too loud volume, though: he's definitely missing more notes than he's hitting. It's honestly kind of awful. If you had to suffer through his shower singing before, it's definitely familiar, except now he has an actual microphone in his hands that one of the staff members is quite desperately trying to pull away from him. ]
