The egotistical creature speaking was addressing humans. Addressing them and showing why humans needed to surrender. Darius looked away before the human was torn in fours. He didn't need to watch to predict the conclusion of the broadcast. A sigh left his breath and he was sure the sight was gruesome [color=lightblue]“Fuck…”[/color] He said under his breath in slight disgust. He knew Dante would have a less subtle reaction to the broadcast, so wasn’t surprised by what his brother had to say. Unfortunately, he didn’t hold the answers to Dante’s concerns. The people that had summoned them to Avalia were dead and the people who murdered them suffered the same fate. The two had been quite lucky since arriving in this strange world but luck only got you so far. [color=lightblue]“And it won’t happen to us.”[/color] Darius said with confidence Dante hadn’t seen before. The Darius he knew was not completely the same as the one that stood in front of him. Dante’s perceived death jumpstarted Darius' path to maturity. He was no longer the guy sitting on his hands while waiting for life to give him a handout. [color=lightblue]“Remember what those people said? We can become powerful. We just have to learn to harness whatever gifts we have, and then I guess… I guess we fight back.”[/color] Darius said in a low voice before nodding towards the restaurant. Once they entered, they were approached by a frog demi-human who oddly blinked at them. Darius averted his eyes so he wouldn’t make an awkward face. He was apparently the host. [color=lightgreen]“Table for two?”[/color] [color=lightblue]“Yeah, two.”[/color] He stole a glance at the frogman who nodded. [color=lightgreen]“Follow me, please.”[/color] The frogman grabbed two menus and proceeded to hop as he led the two to a vacant table. Darius smirked at the sight and nudged Dante before. [color=lightgreen]“Here you are. We have the Slime Day special if either of you is interested.”[/color] Darius took a seat in the booth while making a face of discomfort. [color=lightblue][i] A frog offering a ‘Slime Day’ special?[/i][/color] [color=lightblue]“I think we’ll pass on any specials today.”[/color] He faked a polite smile before looking at Dante sitting across from him. [color=lightblue]“Right?”[/color] [/color]
