I'm back. Did ya miss me?
 

[Standing upon the water's edge of Eltrut's beach, Denji can be found skipping rocks into the depths of the ocean proper. His focus on the crashing waves with his bare feet absorbed by the rushing waters, a stoic expression washed over his features as he sighs solemnly.]
 

So who else had shitty parents growing up, huh?
 

[A small pause before tossing another rock into the sea, plopping himself down onto the ground before turning his full attention towards the feed.]
 

I don't remember much about my mom she died when I was real young from a heart condition but at least she wasn't around to see how big of a prick my dad turned out to be. He was a real piece of crap all my life until he crooked and left me with his problems too. 
 

[Denji wasn't about to tell the masses what actually happened to his father after finding out none too recently but that was besides the point here. A half amused burst of laughter erupts as he tries to lighten the mood a bit grinning fiendishly.]
 

I can't be the only one around here with an asshole for a parent so what's all your stories?

I killed my mother.

[GONNA ELABORATE ON THAT, NAEVA?]

[nutsornothing]

[Denji cannot help but blink wide in mild surprise at the admission but given he too murdered his father wasn't too surprised someone else had crossed that threshold as well.]

So you killed your mom? What did she do to deserve it?

[desirestruth]

Tried plunge the world into eternal darkness and create an undying kingdom of vampires by sacrificing me and my friend. Probably my brothers, too, but I didn't know I had more than one of those at the time.

[UM.]

I'm sorry, that must have been terrible for you to live like that.

[nutsornothing]

[Denji simply sighs with a shrug of his shoulders starring out at the ocean.]

It was a pretty shitty childhood but he had what was coming to him. I was a lot happier when it was just me and Pochita looking out for ourselves that's for damn sure.

[... Denji was missing? Ranma honestly hadn't really noticed. To be fair though, he was in the midsts of others disappearances, he must've missed it. And... shark boy's looking all uncharacteristically melancholic. Normally, Ranma doesn't like divulging private info, but... well, he's already mentioned a few times how much a piece of work his old man was.]

Preaching to the choir there, chains-for-brains. I know the feeling tho. Pop's still kicking, but he has a habit of dumping his problems and messes on me to make me deal with them. It's a massive pain in the ass.

[nutsornothing]

So your dad makes you do all the heavy lifting when what he just kicks back and relaxes?

[Shaking his head a bit to himself as he thinks back to his own father.]

Sounds a lot like my dad when he was pissed drunk doing nothing at home but gambling all his money away.

[pinksidekicking]

Hm, to answer your question would have to mean that I had parents in the first place.

Cloud's the best dad, though.

[nutsornothing]

Hold on so you never met your parents at all? Damn that sucks, Nimona. I kinda wonder if I would have been better off that way too though.

[The latter part makes Denji cock a brow in confusion.]

Huh?! Wait- So Cloud is your dad now?!

[forwearemany]

Our creators tried to destroy us.

[nutsornothing]

[This gives him a flashback to that fateful night his father met his untimely demise, Denji's voice little louder than a whisper as he piped up.]

Sounds familiar...My dad tried to kill me.

[telepathicignorance]

Never had parents. Place I grew up in was pretty shit, though.

[nutsornothing]

Guess that makes two of us.

[Color him curious.]

Your world does sound really weird from what I already know but what was it really like?

text; un: brokenlight

[brokenlight]

I don't remember my parents or even sure if I had any.

[nutsornothing]

What's with people not knowing their parents around here is like half the population orphans or something!?

[Rubbing the back of his neck with a solemn groan.]

You gotta have some parents though how else could you be alive, right?

my mom gave me up when i was little, but i still loved her. my guardian did their best to raise me in her place, but their own fears meant i didn't get to experience very much at all until they died.

you said you're back? where did you go?

[nutsornothing]

But...Why did your mom do that?

[Denji wishes he could have had a life with his mother, to know what she was really like but was also too young to remember before she passed away because of health difficulties. A subtle nod of his head is given at the latter questioning.]

Yeah, that's right. I went back home...For a whole damn year when it was only a couple of days here.

I'm sure my children all considered me to be a terrible parent, over the ages that I had them.

[Denji cannot help but blink wide in shock with a shake of his head.]

Nah there's no way dude! They can't all think you're bad, right!?

[Tilting his head a bit with a curious look scrunching his nose up.]

What'd you do to make them think like that anyways?

[You guys had parents??]

I don't recall a life before the Alchemists' Guild. [No hangups about that, don't be silly. That's what her aggressive compartmentalization is for.] I was a ward of the Guild, and the Guild were... [mostly egotistical unethical scientists, 0/10 do not allow to raise children] poor caretakers. Save for one.

[nutsornothing]

But at least one of them was a good parent, right?

[Cue the confused look over his face as he blinks wide eyed as he puts forth his next question.]

So what's an Alchemist Guild?

[prince_of_the_moon]

My father was the strongest. I sought to battle him, to prove my power, but before I could do so, he perished.

{Sesshomaru knows now he wasn't even close back then to matching the older demon.}

I have been told I have surpassed him, but I will never know for certain.

[nutsornothing]

Wait...You wanted to fight your dad just to prove you were stronger than him?! That's so badass dude!!

[A thoroughly amused grin quickly forming over his lips.]

So what are you some kinda superhero or something!?

text, private. not anon this time.

[It's not often that Benedikta even humours the network by browsing it, but she's just recently finished another book and she's bored while she lounges in bed, so what is the harm? And of course, the first thing she sees is something that touches a little closer to home than she would have liked.

And from Denji, no less.]

I barely knew my own, but I do not need to know that they were the worst sorts of people.

[nutsornothing]

[This peaks Denji interest with a tilt of his head curiously.]

I don't really remember my mom either which sucks because maybe she was a nice lady but I'll never know.

So how come yours were so shitty, huh?
