[Gained: Power upgrade card & Hanma Blood]
James stared impassively at the notifications, his hand already on the doorknob of the diner and peering into the glass.
"...GImmie the Hanma blood while I sleep and use the power upgrade card on the Ten Shadows." He said, not yet opening the door and instead focusing on the gang at the table.
Angel Dust and Vaggie seemed to be engaged in conversation with Vaggie not looking like she's 3 seconds away from choking somebody, Charlie is also talking to Nifty who's pulling off a genuine smile while Amery is in the corner watching.
'Heh, why the hell am I so down for? All I did was kill some guys that were gonna hurt my friends, they deserved it.' James chuckled in his head, 'I don't got anything to feel bad about.'
Instead of just moodily walking through the door, James decided to strut in with a smile, his presence filling the room and instantly alerting his table to him. While he was walking over, Angel Dust gained a devious smile on his face as he obtained a horrible no-good idea.
"Hey Darkside, before the food gets here, ya mind if I get a sip of your vanilla shake?"
"Sure, go ahead." James said, pushing the shake towards Angel Dust who used his top hands to push his hair back before putting his lips on the straw.
He started off slow, taking small drags of the shake before really going in, making his throat bulge in and out with the amount of liquid he was taking in his mouth with some even leaking down his chin. His eyes rolled up to the back of his head as he continued to suck even making small moans before he soon disconnected from the straw.
A small trail of saliva was left behind from his lips and the straw, some of the shake drooling from him as he opened his mouth revealing most of the shake still coating his tongue before he swallowed the rest of it,licking his lips after.
"God, that shake was so thick and creamy I almost couldn't swallow it all~"
"... Okay, 1. What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Just have the shake at this point, bro."
James said, scooting the drink closer towards Angel Dust while trying to repress his urge to just flip the table over. Fortunately, before James could act on his urge, Moxie soon came with plates stacked on his head, arms and hands.
He didn't say a word, simply putting their plates down with so much focus, you could swear he wasn't even breathing. After he sat down everybody's plates, he simply slowly turned around and walked away stiffly.
Charlie didn't waste any time, picking up her fork and digging into her strawberry shortcake with the ravenousness of a starving bear in the woods.
Angel Dust on the other hand was a surprisingly fancy eater, shoving a napkin down his shirt and cutting his steak into small pieces before eating them without any innuendos or other talking.
Amery took a single scoop of her macaroni and cheese, almost dropping the fork as soon as the flavor hit her mouth. She then took another bite and another and another… And another, until the entire bowl was almost gone. James could swear he saw a tear get let out and sucked back into her eye.
Nifty took small bites of her Onigiri, meekly sitting next to James eyeing his food, slowly reaching a hand out to attempt to take some of his bacon only for James to grab it suddenly.
"I-I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to–" Nifty stuttered out, her hand shaking as she stared up at James, petrified only for James to pull her into him as she flinched back, waiting for the blow that would eventually come…
CHU~
Instead of a hand meeting her face, Nifty was met with a kiss from James on her forehead before he popped a strip of bacon into her mouth. "I knew those small ass rice balls wouldn't have filled you up. Here, go ahead and get some off my plate. Mi casa, mu casa and all that."
"That's a phrase used for houses, dumbass."
"Shut up Vaggie, you're irrelevant!"
Before James and Vaggie could devolve into baseless bickering again, Angel Dust felt a vibration on his leg and picked up his phone, clicking on a notification on an app and gained an incredulous look on his face, scrolling down a little before his hands shook a bit.
He suddenly held up a hand to silence the two while having a shaky smile appear on his face."Darkside, before you say anything else to Vagina you gotta see this shit." He said as he held his phone up to the table revealing a page on a website called 'Xitter'
"That's not my name!"
"Irrelevant!"
The page detailed how thousands of people around hell had suddenly had their soul contracts owned by Valentino or Vox revoked, their souls being freely returned to them without any strings attached. It was being said that many of Hell's Overlords are looking into this issue to rectify it, but the article instead informed everyone to fully enjoy their freedom while it lasted.
"Darkside, was this you!?" Angel Dust shouted,
"I have no idea what you're talking about Angel Dust." James said, shrugging his shoulders while sticking his tongue out a bit.
"James, oh my god, you saved all of those people?" Charlie asked, a gleeful look on her face as she looked at James.
"...Yeah?"
"Oh. My. God!" Charlie squealed before digging inside of her pockets and pulling out a sticker of a golden star, attaching it on James' forehead. "James you officially have gotten the first gold star of approval!"
"...This is a good top 20 life moment for me, just above me first learning how to masturbate."
"What could possibly be above that?" Angel Dust asked while chewing a bit of his steak.
"Sex."
"Ahhhh, I didn't think of that."
After their conversation, everybody's meal resumed with a surprising amount of relaxed vibes, Angel Dust and Vaggie actually being amicable with each other, Nifty chowing down on her onigiri and James' plates of food, along with Amery and Charlie calmly eating their food (Well, as calm as you can get when you're eating like a beast)
Moxie even came back, providing everyone with free refills of their drinks. James purposefully kept his shake as far away from Angel Dust as possible, the latter accidentally spinning his coffee on James' lap, who definitely didn't ponder blowing the entire diner up, why would you even ask?
Anyway, everyone had a great time and cleaned out their plates, Charlie digging in her purse (that James swore she didn't have before) and paying for their entire meal, even leaving in an extra tip for Moxxie.
"Charlie, did you really tip our waiter 500,000 souls?" Vaggie asked.
"Yeah, why not? He did a super good job and did everything we told him to."
"God, toots, I keep forgetting just how much 'fuck-you' money you really have." Angel Dust retorts, stretching out his arms and popping his back.
"Man, I haven't felt this stuffed than when I was in an orgy with those horse sinners."
"... Can you not make me throw up after I eat my food? Thanks." James replied to Angel Dust, wiping his mouth with a napkin after finishing his plate of pancakes. "I swear to god if I get coffee thrown on me one more time, I'll kill a man." He mutters under his breath.
Everyone at the table starts to get up and walk out the door, Charlie and Angel talking about their surprisingly similar taste in music while Nifty and Vaggie talk about their favorite weapons. James, on the other hand, takes a deep breath in and out, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose, already having seen two people approaching them, both walking with cockiness and lecherous smiles.
'I am not some cheap wuxia protagonist, I do not want to "faceslap" anyone, for the love of god just walk by.' James prayed in his mind, yet unfortunately the two men continued to approach the group, eventually one of them putting their hand on Charlie's shoulder.
"Hey, babes, what're you doing with this loser over here?"
'Should I use my earthbending on them? Nah, that's too easy, I gotta step up my game for these chuckle-fucks. Y'know what? These I won't even dignify these two damn goons with a description of their appearence, they just look like fuckin' mooks, goons even.'
"I also watched some of the pornstar's videos, I bet those guys won't even compare to my cock, so how about you quit eating shrimp with the wimp and eat lobster with the monsters?
'Should I drop a fuga on them? Nah, I don't think I would be able to get everyone out fast enough, I just wanna fuck these guys up, not everybody in the resturant.'
"Why don't you girls hang out with me and my boy over here? Especially the little one, you're the perfect height for dicksucking."
'Yeah, fuck it.'
James simply looks at the two, slowly raising his finger while ignoring their taunts.
"Strong dismantle."
SHINK
A large gash appeared on the walls, digging deep into the cement along with making spiderweb-cracks and messing up the paint. Yet, surprisingly the two were unharmed, not by James' intention, but with Charlie jumping in front of the dismantle.
To James' shock, Charlie was completely unharmed, even her clothes didn't have a scratch on them. She reached out and grabbed James' shoulder, "Now, now, we don't have to kill people, right? How about we settle this, erm… Differently." She said with a nervous smile on her face.
"Charlie, it's obvious these two damn goons aren't gonna go away. What're we gonna do, settle this over a game of basketball or something?"
"I'm actually down for that." Mook number #1 said.
"...You gotta be fucking kidding me–"
"Sure, I'm down for that." Angel Dust said. Stretching and popping his fingers out with a small grin on his face. "Y'know I actually used to play a bit when I was still alive, could've gone pro if I didn't find my love in the porn industry."
"...Are you serious?" James asked.
"Nah, I'm just fucking with ya, but I have played a little." James gave himself a facepalm at Angel's response and looked at the two guys. "Fine, whatever, we'll play a game of basketball, just point us to the damn court."
