Fox: I would say you are in luck, as I only just purchased that particular ability last night.
Fox: But it sounds as though you are attempting some sort of subterfuge?

[fox is typing...]

Fox: Regardless, what are the details of the contract?

higanbana is typing...

higanbana: It's a matter of love.
higanbana: A contract between Avenger, D☆☆dl☆m☆n of ☆ZRAEL, and Ruler, Lucifel of sensitIV, for the former to be made a servant of the latter.
higanbana: The master would be given three absolute commands over the servant.

[

]

Fox: I shall be perfectly honest.
Fox: I am not entirely certain how comfortable I am with enforcing this contract.
Fox: I would prefer to speak with Doodleman before composing it, at the very least.
Fox: I consider him a friend, and I do not wish to be part of any scheme that robs him of his free will.
Fox: Is this what you are attempting to do, Lucifel?

higanbana: I don't need it to be enforced.
higanbana: If you are yet unaware, we servants require masters to exist in the world.
higanbana: He in specific requires one to keep himself put together.

higanbana is typing...

higanbana: Feel free to speak to him about the matter. However, if you don't wish to enforce it, please
higanbana: Don't tell either of us that you didn't.

Fox: He has mentioned before that he is a servant, but I did not know what the details of that existence entails.
Fox: I will message him in the meantime.
Fox: Do you need it written right now, or can it wait until tomorrow morning?

higanbana: I'm sorry to ask so late in the night, but as soon as possible, please.

Fox: Very well.
Fox: I will let you know when I am finished. It should not take too long.

higanbana: Sorry for the trouble.
higanbana: Thank you

[after 40 minutes or so...]

Fox: The ink has finished drying.
Fox: You will both have to sign the contract for it to take effect.
Fox: Please be sure to read it thoroughly first.

higanbana: Thank you.
higanbana: My apologies for the trouble once more.
higanbana: We'll be on our way shortly.

Fox: Please text me when you have arrived so others do not wake up.

[ in a few minutes: ]

higanbana: We're here.

[fox answers the door shirtless, in his boxers, with a yukata loosely draped over his shoulders, showing off his new and shiny throat scars]

Come in, but be quiet. Kaguya and Zero may not be asleep right now, but I don't want to disturb those who are.

[welcome to casa de taisho]

[ wearing a sweater with a mess of feathers behind him, and shorts - he didn't bother to put on shoes and his eyes are red and he's holding doodle's hand ]

. . . Sorry to bother you so late at night.

[ he croaks quietly, stepping in ]

[looking like he's barely awake, yawning shamelessly as he follows lucifel in]

It seemed to be an urgent matter, so I shall forgive you. This way.

[on the dining room table, sitting low to the ground, is the finished contract which has in fact been written in fancy calligraphy script even though that's not at all necessary for the ability to work. fox has already signed his name as witness and officiate, and the details are word-for-word what lucifel requested with no special fine print]

Are you both absolutely certain you wish to do this?

[ studying it for a moment, before he gives a nod ]

This would be enough. Yes, thank you.

[ technically there's no mention of punishment or anything, but he doesn't want to or need to dwell on punishment should avenger fail to follow his command ]

[looking a little more alert now, but he only barely glances at the contract]

Yeah. Wouldn't be here if we weren't sure.

[looking between the two of them, and finally nods]

Then, you just need to sign your names.

[he has an ink pen for this instead of making you use a brush. those brushes are for his personal use only, thank you]

[ just realized the saddest part about his blood turning to water is that he can't just bloody thumbprint contracts

picking up the pen to -

cover his mouth and sneeze into his elbow, first.

then sign in practiced strokes, 天草四郎 ]

[tragedy

waiting nervously while he signs and hesitating slightly when it's his turn to take the pen

but then signing in curved letters]

Edited 2019-10-05 03:35 (UTC)

[fox's eyes widen when he reads lucifel's signature]

Amakusa... Shiro? --ah, that is, the contract is complete. Either of you may take it, and if you wish to discuss the terms of agreement, please let me know. Just keep it in a safe place.

[ oh right

giving a tired sort of smile to fox, one that doesn't quite make it to his eyes ]

I prefer "Lucifel" or "Ruler" in this place, but it's more appropriate to sign a contract like this, don't you think?

[ and, without further ado, he's picking up the contract ]

Thank you again.

[still staring at the contract like he can't quite believe it's real, but he shakes his head as if to wake himself up]

Right. Thanks, Fox.

... you're welcome. Both of you please take care.
