[The video opens with a very flushed Chuuya, and the source of that rosy color on his cheeks is soon readily apparent. In his hand is a glass of red wine that’s barely half-full, and it’s obvious that he’s been hitting the bottle hard. Behind him is the backdrop of a lavish, cozy bedroom, and a small bird can be seen flitting to and fro.]

This is the first time I’ve posted a video on here. Seems easy enough. Anyway, while we all wait for news of whatever the hell is going on with the bigger picture right now, why not have some fun?

[Chuuya takes a sip of his wine.]

So I’m gonna ask a few questions. First off, what’s your drink of choice? I’m taking suggestions on different cocktails to mix up since I’ve got an entire bar to work with now. Hell, if it’s good enough, I might just name it after you.

[And he downs the rest of the wine. So classy.]

Second question; besides the people, what do you miss most about home? Or maybe tell me about something you’ve gotten back that you were missing when you first woke up. Or even weirdass gifts you never asked for that just randomly appeared.

Something like that. True telepathy would allow us to converse back and forth, even if only one of us possessed the skill.

[Which is what he's been working on, but it's surprisingly complex magic to learn.]

What I'm referring to is simply an inherent trait all demons possess. When one calls a demon's true name with all their heart, we're capable of hearing it. It's rather similar to the way a summoning chant calls our attention and brings us to the side of whoever has summoned us-- though most demons are far too proud to come when called through such simplistic means.

And what about you? Would you come if I called?

[It’s an honest question. Of course he’s expecting the answer to be yes, since he’s Mephisto’s familiar and all, but if there’s a different way to get in touch, then he might as well ask.

A CHEEKY GRIN.]

Or are you too proud?

I would come if you called, because I would assume you were in danger.

If you were simply calling my true name to pester me, the strength behind your call would be too quiet. I am a rather powerful demon, after all. You have to put some feeling into it!

[Look at him suck the fun out of it with this srs answer.]

[But then, there's a reason for it. Of all the trauma he went through while kidnapped, arguably the worst of it was being forced to listen to Mipha pleading for him from somewhere he couldn't reach.]

[He'd be able to hear him calling, even if it was quiet. But he'd rather not deal with needless stress.]

So it’s like an emergency only line. Got it.

[As much fun as fucking with Mephisto would be, he does remember how badly he’d reacted to having his mind messed with before, and Chuuya isn’t enough of an asshole to exploit that. It wouldn’t be the same thing, of course, but still.]

Then if you can’t summon me I guess you’ll have to text or whatever if you need me.

[Is it pathetic how much Chuuya wants to be called on? After all, what’s the point of being a familiar if he’s never used for anything? He’ll just assume that he’ll be given some kind of task sooner or later. Until then...]

...I guess I could spend more time sober. Everyone seems to think I’m gonna drown myself in booze.

[Yeah, he may or may not intentionally go a period without calling on Chuuya to do anything just to see if he gets needy. #justdemonthings]

Not that a demon is the best person to be calling you out on your vices, but the only time I've seen you sober is when you've been hungover.

Honestly-- at what age did you decide to embrace your inner alcoholic? It might just explain why you're so short.

[DAMN RIGHT HE WENT THERE]

[WOW RUDE. Chuuya is just gonna slowly get more and more riled up until he very much resembles a pissy, fluffed-up cat.]

Bullshit. I was sober in the library, and when I met you in the forest to try out that sealing spell.

[Wowee two of the times they’ve met he’s been sober...such a record...]

And don’t even fucking start with the short jokes!! They’re not original, and you’re just freakishly tall!!

[HUFF.]

Besides, I could go without booze if I wanted, I just don’t see why I should.

Hmm... liver disease. Pancreatitis. High blood pressure. Stroke. Depression. Impotence-- ah, shall I go on? We really could be here all day.

[Now he's just being a shit.]

Gee thanks, doctor.

[GRUMBLES.

Chuuya glances away.]

I’ll...try to cut down. [VERY QUICKLY ADDS:] But not because you said so or anything. I’m doing it so I can live longer.

[Yup. That’s the only reason.]

Well, I'm glad to hear it!

After all, the longer you live, the more time we'll have together.

[Look at this guy, who can say shit like that with a straight face??]

[Oh wait, he's not done--]

And I for one can't wait for the day when someone knocks that silly hat off your head and reveals a bald spot.

The aging process really is so unfortunate.

[UGHHH don’t make him doki and then ruin it!! RUDE.

Though the insult to his hat is far worse than the implication of a bald spot as he ages. He’s never even counted on growing old before...]

What the hell do you have against my hat?! I don’t make fun of your outfits!!

...that's your take-away from what I said? [HE'S WEIRDLY DISAPPOINTED HE GOT OFFENDED AT THE WRONG THING]

I get it. Humans get gross when we age.

[Though some age more gracefully than others...

Chuuya shrugs.]

I dunno, I guess I never thought about any of that applying to me. Taking into account the fact that my body could barely contain Arahabaki and the fact that I was in the Mafia, I never thought I’d make it past forty.

[He says all this very casually. It’s just a fact he’s come to accept.]

But I guess things are different now, so.

[WAY TO BE A DEBBIE DOWNER, CHUU.]

Forty would be optimistic with a lifestyle like that.

[And here we have the living devil's advocate.]

But such is the nature of humans. Your kind wouldn't be nearly as interesting if you were all immortal. The way that humans grow and change so drastically in such a small period of time is one of the things I love about them.

Like I said, things are different here. I might live long enough to need to worry about grey hairs.

[He’ll still be gorgeous, though, because he’s Chuuya.]

Anyway. I didn’t expect you to come cheer me up, but I guess I appreciate it.

[He just admitted to needing cheering up while also being a little shit. Talent.]

Let’s just hope all this wasn’t for nothing when that dragon comes back.
