[The feed turns on to a young boy, sitting with his feet up on the desk in front of the terminal. He's leaning back in his chair, and his attention is away from the camera, at the knife he was spinning on his pointer finger.]

Hey, is the food here always so flowery? I had to eat peasant slop because it was the only thing appealing on the menu... there should be some steak here.... Ah! Sushi.

They should have sushi here, though it won't be any good if it isn't made by that Yamamoto guy... oh well, sushi is sushi, I suppose. It's far better than that disgusting... oh what do they call it.... warm cereal? Or was it oats in a meal? Hmm...

Well, whatever.

[He finally turns his attention to the feed, with a big grin on his face.]

My name is Belphegor~ Though please, ca--- [Before he can finish his sentence, the knife he had lost interest in fell off his finger onto the ground, making a slightly loud clank.]

Oh.

[He leans over his chair to stare at it.]

It fell.

[He stares at it for a few more seconds before stretching, and he places his arms behind his head, no longer interested in the knife on the floor.]

Anyway, call me Bel! I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, everyone.

By the way, what's with this metal thing around my neck? It won't come off, no matter how much I cut away at it!

It's not right to treat a Prince like a dog, you know. You could be beheaded for such an act!

[Suddenly, he leans forward very close to the screen with a very serious expression.]

Or worse.

[His mouth spreads into that big, sadistic grin again.]

Ushishishi~!

[Then the feed cuts there.]

[A fiendish looking character with an identifiable and distinctive laugh?! That's right up this wily pirate's alley!]

Oh. Those are the collars that the jerks here make us wear so they can check up on us. They're pretty damn annoying..

So you're a Prince, huh? What kingdom are ya' from?

[It doesn't seem like it has crossed Luffy's mind to introduce himself before asking. His manners weren't the best, sadly.]

Haa? Can't they check up on us on their own? Pretty lazy people if you ask me~

[He then shakes his head.]

I can't tell you where I'm from, it would upset quite a lot of people if they knew~ [Or maybe he doesn't remember anymore? Who knows..]

Well they do. We gotta' line up and they see us one at a time..

Are you from the land of Candy or somethin'? I'd be pretty pissed I wasn't from there, either.

Why the collars, then? Are they trying to make us look like their little pets or something?

And no. There's no such thing as the land of Candy, are you suggesting I'm a fake prince?

Beats me. They just get in the way. Suzaku says they keep our souls in our bodies.

Well, yeah. Don't "Princes" have crowns on their heads? Do you have one or did you bury it?

Souls in our.... whatever. [He loses interest in that subject, and instead addresses the next one with more liveliness.]

I have a crown~ It's right here, on top of my head.

[He then bows his head just a little to show off the crown sitting upon it.]

Ah! So you are a Prince then! Do your servants bring you lots and lots of food whenever you want? Or do they only do that for Kings?

They did~ They got pretty tired of my brother and I always asking for things.

But that was before... [His sentence trails off for a moment and he gets a huge, almost sadistic grin on his face.]

That happened....

[Luffy was used to large grins. He had a pretty large one himself. Something about this fellow's grin seemed a tad off, though.]

Before.. What happened?

My family died~

That.. That's so..

SAAAAAAA~D!

[Cue the water works, Prince. Luffy might be absent-minded at times, but he's got a heart of gold.]

H-How did they die?! Who would d-do such a thing?! I'm so sorry Prince-chan!

[......................prince.............chan??

In any case, seeing Luffy cry at the despair of others makes Bel quite amused, and his grin doesn't leave his face once.]

Sorry? About what?

That they're dead!! I-I know it isn't my fault but that's such bad news!

Mmm.... not really.

That.. That doesn't make you sad? Were they bad parents or something?

They were the worst! The favored my older brother to me... They always praised him when he did something they liked, they gave him absolutely whatever he wanted without a second thought... they were even going to make him the next king, you know?

[Luffy's curiosity got the better of him rather frequently. Hopefully, this time would be different.]

Who.. Who killed your parents, Prince-chan?

[A grin spreads across his face again.]

I did~

. . .

Y-YOU KILLED YOUR OWN PARENTS?!

[Accelerator's definitely not amused. He gives the boy a look that clearly says "are you fucking kidding me?" in those exact words.]

A prince? Look, kid, forget everything you knew about your world and whatever bullshit titles you had there. They won't do you any good in this tower.

[Accelerator ought to know; he was once the strongest of his world, and none of that had ever helped him in the short time he'd been in this tower.]

Here, you're just like every one else. You'd be pretty stupid to think otherwise.

Hoh? I'm just like everyone else, you say?

[He grins, though it's a quite irritated grin.]

I have another title, you know. Prince the Ripper... do you want to know how I got that title?

...Is that supposed to be intimidation? Because I don't feel very intimidated.

[He doesn't know how strong this guy is, so he's not going to the stereotypical "yeah I've got a reputation too and can probably kick your ass" routine, but Accelerator's definitely not afraid of this guy, even if it turns out this brat has powers that would trump his. Not like he can't take a beating. But he's not interested in fighting at all so...]

But whatever. How did you get that shitty nickname?

Edited 2013-05-16 19:03 (UTC)

[He pulls out a handful of knives then, and his smile turns a bit more creepy..]

I rip people to shreds.

[Yeeaaah, Accelerator's not going to be intimidated by a handful of knives, either. But still, he was in no mood to pit himself against this kid. Instead he goes with simply looking bored.]

Is that so? Anything else?

[ The girl sitting at the terminal here just giggles. ]

Wha-t, you really think you can go and behead them that easily..? I doubt it!

[He whips out a handful of knives.]

I've done much worse than behead someone before. Shishishi~

Oh, that's not the problem. [ Sure, she's creative enough for it too, and she would believe that some others can be too, but.. ] You don't know a thing about the people in charge here, do you? Of course an Endless Witch like me could easily take care of them, but it's impossible for any normal human!

[ Way to be a hypocrite, Evatrice. ]
