Family Bonds
Who: Desco, Nano, Otoha, Johnny, and Sam
Where: Desco's house
Summary: Desco lays it all out
Warnings:Desco is her own warning Violence
It starts, not with a preemptory summons over the general network, but a pair of thoughtful, serious messages left in Sam and Nano's inboxes. Desco even uses the word 'please'. And then, instead of commanding her Uncles to stick around, she just...asks them not to leave today.
Something weird is going on with the tiniest shoggoth.
When the entirety of Desco's 'family' is gathered, she takes a deep breath - even though she has stated that she doesn't need to breathe - and addresses them.
"Desco...no. Um, I need to tell you about my childhood."
...she's dropping the third person. Not a good sign.
She deploys Usatako and forms it into a seat.
"Um...about six years ago, my big sis asked Daddy for a little sister with advanced functionality to help her take over the world. Mommy died a little while after that, so Daddy decided that instead of cybernetically altering a human baby he'd just make a genetically engineered superweapon. Daddy found funding and someone to supply him with demons, and by mixing his and Mommy's DNA with various kinds of demon DNA he made me. That was four years ago. I grew up in Daddy's lab - because my brain is mostly human, I ended up needing cybernetic implants anyway to deal with my various sensory inputs. Um, I was the prototype model - Daddy had me do a lot of tests by fighting against his other cloned demons and his demon-fighting Bio-Suits. Um...I used to have so much fun breaking the Bio-Suits, but I realized recently that the Bio-Suits were piloted by human test subjects."
She pauses for a second and strokes one of her tentacles nervously.
"So, I've been killing humans without knowing it since I was six months old. Sorry, Sis."
She cringes a little and retreats halfway inside Usatako.
"Um, when I was a year and a half old, Daddy took all the combat data I got for him and used it to make Lady Des-X, the production model. I was really excited to have a little sister, and for the first couple of months we played together a lot! Then she got all weird and jealous and didn't want to listen to Daddy talk about Big Sis or watch the videos he had made of her. Then, um, when I was two, Big Sis came to the lab because...well, I don't know why. And Des-X attacked her. I tried to stop her, but she, uh...tore out all but my red eyes and ate them, and my cybernetics went crazy and disabled me, so all I could do was watch while she killed Big Sis. And then, once she was done with that, she crushed my skull. I'm pretty sure she ate our bodies after that, too, because Big Sis was just listed as 'missing' instead of 'dead' when I checked the last time I visited Daddy's lab."
A pause.
"And then, when I woke up, I was in the Netherworld, and I kind of...threw a tantrum and leveled one of the residential districts, so the corrupternment threw me into the Forbidden Cell of the high-security ward of Hades, and I spent the next six months in solitary confinement loaded down with so many sealing spells I couldn't move at all before Big Sis and Valzy saved me."
With this, she sinks inside Usatako until only her head is visible.
"So, um...I know I have some issues, so...if you want to stop being my family after this, I don't mind as long as you don't try to hurt me? And, uh, if you still want to be family, can you please promise to never ever get hurt?"

What is it?
no subject
Desco cringes and covers her ears with both hands at this, like she's expecting to get yelled at.
no subject
[That's all she's getting out of Nano for the moment. She looks sad and probably a little disappointed too, but she can sense there's more, so there's no scolding yet.]
no subject
More cringing.
1/2
2/2
Desco-chan.
[Serious voice time.]
I know you didn't know killing people was bad at the time, or why, but doing something like that is just as bad. Maybe even worse. It's very disrespectful to the people who died, and offensive to the ones who survived.
[Nano takes a deep breath, closing her eyes.]
Please don't show it to me, because I don't want to see it, but I would like you to get rid of the skulls. Bury them somewhere respectfully, say a prayer and an apology for the dead, and never do something like that again.
[And then she opens them again.]
...Can you do that for me?
no subject
"Uh-huh."
no subject
[Nano smiles, patting her on the head.]
You made a lot of mistakes and did things that were bad, but you can always choose to be a better person.
[And now she crouches down so that she's at eye level with her.]
I've seen you trying. I know you can do it. I believe in you.
no subject
Desco will just give Nano a hug and a kiss.
no subject
If you ever get confused about whether or not something is okay, you can always ask me first, okay?
no subject
Pause. Fidget.
"Um, Sis? Can Desco ask a favor?"
no subject
no subject
Pleading eyes.
"Desco is pretty sure you're the only member of her family that can go there, is all."
no subject
...Mm. Okay.
no subject
"Also, Desco hopes that when you do become an angel, you won't fight against Desco when she comes to conquer Heaven, okay?"
no subject
[Have some more headpats.]
no subject
"Oh, um, if Sis ever wants to give up on being mortal, Desco won't mind! We can go to Desco's world and put Sis's soul in a new body!"
Desco leans against Nano's body, turning her head so her pointed ear rests on Nano's chest, listening to the machinery beneath Nano's skin. She sighs briefly in happiness.
no subject
[She's pretty sure she'll never actually get the chance to take Desco up on that anyway.
Tick tock goes Nano's clockwork heart.]
no subject

no subject
"And Desco can show you the handprints where Miss Flonne's mecha pushed the moon back into orbit!"
no subject
[HOW BIG WAS THAT THING]
no subject
Slight pause.
"Miss Artina was pretty upset when she found out what the money was being used for."
