diluvian | catchall for lee rang

[he laughs at that]

I like him better than the policeman he belongs to.

[rang hasn't even met the policeman and his rippling biceps yet]

My, we have a criminal in our midst.

[ she doesn't sound like she minds at all. ]

[he puts a mock offended hand over his heart]

Can't I be a law-abiding citizen and still hate the law?

[ yaywon, this time stamp

it's hard to look barely amused behind sunglasses, but that's what lambda is. ]

Sure, if you're boring. Are you boring?

[looks away sweatily

but rang shoots lambda a smile that could maybe look a little unhinged under different mcdonalds' lights,]

I try to be. [rang says, dissembling the burger like yining would a pumpkin pie] Don't I seem pretty normal?

[ like can recognize like enough, but she's unhinged in a different way. ]

As normal as a predator passing up its prey.

[he laughs -- a little abrupt, as if startled]

Maybe the predator just has high standards.

That only works if the predator is full and satiated and has the prerogative of choice.

Lucky for me then, that I've got so many options.

[he says.... dryly..... as he looks back at the mcdonalds menu.....]

[ just as dryly: ]

Yes, the options that you seem so willing to eat.

[he raises his shoulders into a shrug]

I'm no stranger to scraping the barrel... Also, I'm not really into human livers anymore.

Human livers?

[ her eyebrows rise but it's questionable whether or not they rise about her sunglasses. she goes through her mythology knowledge. ]

Gumiho?

[lambda and her sunglasses are so cute...

it's Rang's turn for his eyebrows to rise, turning from the menu to look at her properly -- maybe for the first time since the conversation's started.]

...You're the first person to guess. [literally the first person to guess and also to guess correctly,] Everyone else who's asked had to be told.

[ about? above* chugs more caffeine at 5:30pm

she would be more insulted and offended that he hasn't looked at her properly, but he can live today. ]

Knowing your mythology is important. It can save or end lives.

[I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE

he tilts his head, not out of incomprehension, but because, yet again, he hadn't expected this reply,]

Humans who know the stories die just as quickly as the ones who don't. Sometimes even faster.

What do I care about humans?

[ they're not her responsibility. ]

I was under the impression that you were one.

[he just assumes human first, unless the profile is extremely weird.]

[ she looks almost insulted. almost. ]

It is a little harder to see in this form without all my sharper edges.

[ but she is going to gesture to her legs to draw attention to them. ]

Those aren't because I was injured.

[to be fair rang would also be so insulted and he looks like regular kdrama,]

It's annoying, isn't it? What they've done to our bodies.

[hmmm, to rang's singular credit, the look he gives lambda's leggies is not slutty at all. more like someone who's delighted to see something new,]

At least you can still kill someone if you kick hard enough.

[ can't escape being kim bum ]

It's insulting what they've taken from us.

[ her ABILITIES. all her stupid fate/ bullshit. thanks for keeping it cool, rang. ]

It's not my preferred way to take someone.

Even worse when you realize why.

[he's smiling, but the edge to it is definitely also annoyed,]

Since we're only like this -- [weak] because of the humans here.

[ he can smile. she doesn't hide her annoyance. ]

I know. Why should it cater towards them? It's not our fault they were born or died like that, and humans are the ones who do worse things overall for all they spout about morals and justice.

[the way he agrees with all of this damn]

And we'll have to see more of that in the weeks to come. It's enough to make me want to start erasing.

Wanting is different from doing. How much do you do what you want?

Enough that I've been told that it's a habit I need to fix.
