[One of the newest arrivals finds himself laying face first on the cool forest floor, groaning. His body ached all over, but Dist was sure that came with being shot at by a monstrous replica. One that he himself had unleashed. Ugh, what an idiot he was, to let himself grow so desperate and crazed and release that thing, only to have it kill him in the end. That had broke much more than just a few ribs. ...Well, at least it's not raining.

The white haired man musters up all the strength he has remaining and pushes himself up into a kneeling position. He removes his broken glasses and 'tsks' at them. Useless... The glass was broken. Damn that...that impostor! Dist winces and massages his chest. Most of the pain was fading there, but, oddly, his back hurt the most.

Before inspecting why - he just tacked it on to being dead - he cranes his head up and looks around at the trees around him, scowling.]

Tsk, this isn't exactly what I had envisioned of Hell. Fire and brimstone and all that... Agh, damn this pai--[Dist hisses and recoils his hand quickly as it passes over his shoulder and brushed up against his wings. His eyes widen and a bitter smirk spreads on his lips as he looks over his shoulder and spies his wings.] Well, now. This certainly is a surprise. Someone's idea of a joke, perhaps, if even Hell won't take me.

Hey, you're getting better at delivering your jokes!

[hvhchf gdmit, Peony.] I'm not joking, you idiot! I'm making fun of you!!

Well, then you should have made that clear from the beginning.

[But teasing aside, Dist just arrived, after all.] Have you found your way into the village?

[F-FFFF--!! Dist bites his knuckles to keep himself from snapping back at Peony, most likely something very impolite, and clears his throat and nods.] Yes, I've been shown the way and given the guide.

[...SIGH.] And do you have a place to stay for the night?

Yes, I do. Nephry offered to let me stay with her. [Narrows his eyes dangerously.] And I expect you to treat me with respect, Peony!

Oh, I wouldn't dream of disrespecting you, Saphir. My home is your home!

Oh, no, of course you wouldn't. [Can you just feel the sarcasm?] Tch, I'm only staying with you to keep an eye on you!! I don't approve of you taking advantage of Nephry's kindness in letting a disaster like you live with her!

[Nephry is another off-limits topic.:|]

It's not taking advantage when it's freely given.

[Well, that's too bad, now isn't it? 8|]

I don't care, I'm still going to make sure you're not doing anything out of line. Someone has to, lest you run amuck.

I'll be on my best behavior.
