"Yo, you've reached Kurosaki Ichigo. Leave a message and I'll try to get back to you."

Comments

[fuorilegge]

... Yeah, about that.

Claire said you got killed by the other him, yeah? Well, see, here's this problem.

The geezer I devoured last year's been going at it for a couple hundred years trying to figure out how to make the stuff that made people immortal, and at one point he devoured a guy who knew. And since I've got 'em both inside me now, I know, too.

Which means, so did my double. So I had to take care of 'im and a few others he turned immortal. So now I got double the souls in me than I'm supposed to I s'ppose.

[bladeisme]

[...Well, that explained things. And said geezer must be the black soul he'd seen, trying to get the rest to join him and make a grab at Ichigo's own soul.]

...I see.

[...Kind of ironic to say, considering that he really did see. But, well...now he feels terrible for how he treated Firo.]

For what it's worth...I'm sorry for saying you weren't human. I just...panicked, I guess.

[fuorilegge]

You're lucky Claire came by 'cause I considered tossing you in the lake.

[He didn't. But he'd rather say that than admit to the panic he felt that night.]

... It's not like I like havin' him in my head.

[bladeisme]

Gee, thanks.

[RUDE AS HELL just throw him in there while he was unconscious????

But all the sarcasm in his voice drains away at that.]

...I can imagine. He....The soul fragment, I mean-it seemed so...greedy.

[It tried to take his own soul, for god's sake.]

And having all those memories must be hard, too.

[fuorilegge]

He's a no good piece of shit. And I'm sayin' it so that's even worse.

[He sounds disgruntled.]

He killed the brother of someone who's like a brother to me. I don't care -- so long as he's dead, I can deal with a few assholes' memories.

[bladeisme]

[So it was out of revenge, but to keep his family safe as well? He can't say he understands that particular feeling yet, but he can at least empathize with it.]

At least he can't hurt anyone else, right?

[Although the thing about memories suddenly jogs his own.]

You said you had to take care of some of the immortals your clone made, right? Was Claire's one of them?

[fuorilegge]

He better not. The world's had enough nasty three hundred year old croak to last forever with 'im.

And yeah, Claire's. We had to have the real Claire beat him up and hold him down. One of those is definitely enough.

[bladeisme]

Agreed.

[There's a lot of conviction in there-considering that he'd found out first hand how scary Claire could be.]

He's scary enough as is-two's overkill.

[fuorilegge]

Scary?

...

You think that's scary?

[bladeisme]

[...........]

Have you ever seen him when he's being an assassin? Because I have, and I sure as hell don't ever want to go through that again!

[FIRO REALLY UHHHH HE'S SCARY AS SHIT WHEN HE'S SERIOUS.]

[fuorilegge]

Well yeah.

He likes to make sure his targets are dead so he'll rip 'em apart until there's no doubt they ain't gonna live anymore. Kinda looks like he spilled a loada everywhere. They call 'em Vino where we're from, after that.

[nbd]

[bladeisme]

[That is more than he ever wanted to know omfg]

God... Are you telling me I actually got off easy when he decided to blow me up?!

[JESUS CHRIST why did he get involved with these people]

How is that not scary?!

[fuorilegge]

Blowing up?

That sounds new. Maybe he got bored. An' well, I grew up with him for a few years for one.

Besides, it's not like I've never killed a few. Sometimes it's kill or be killed where we're from.

[bladeisme]

[NOPE he's not going to give this point up.]

He killed me for no damn reason! Does that sound like kill or be killed?

[fuorilegge]

That was his double, not him!

[He raises his voice to match.]

Those things weren't the same as us.

[bladeisme]

I know that, geez! But that doesn't make Claire any less scary to me, alright?! I know what he can do now!

[fuorilegge]

Well you better damn well get used to it 'cause he's done worse!

And he ain't the most scariest one from back home!

[bladeisme]

Are you kidding me? Who could be worse?!

[fuorilegge]

... Liiiiiiike.

The torturer at the Gandors maybe? Cuts blokes with scissors an' hums while he does it. Creepy as hell.

[bladeisme]

[...Shit he has a point.]

....So you're a part of the Mafia, too?

[because that sounds like a Yakuza thing and welp. Claire's clone mentioned it before.]

[fuorilegge]

[Firo answers almost before Ichigo's even done asking.]

Camorra.

There's a difference.

[bladeisme]

[Well, that was prompt.]

And what's that?

[fuorilegge]

The stuff we do's different. And we come from different origins -- they're different. I'll let you off since you obviously got no idea, but we Martillos are a Camorra.

[bladeisme]

...You still didn't explain what that even is.

[fuorilegge]

Basically the Mafia originated in Siciliy but Camorra started in a prison in Naples and telling you the rest would put you under Knows Too Much unless you wanna risk that.
