Time runs OUT (semi lit MLP RP; accepting)

Deimos

Deimos took a seat, reclining in the grass next to Sarra and looking up at the sky. It took him a moment to think of something intellectual to say- or rather how to phrase what he was thinking in a way that made sense. "Boyfriend, huh?" He smiled faintly, his fang again accenting his oddity. "If you'd use that word to describe me- I don't think I'd mind one bit." He grin jestingly, though his words were sincere. He took a glance over at her, then down at his own hooves. I doubt I'm even good enough for a mare like her... Deimos mentally sighed, She'd probably be better off without me, anyway. "Oh snap out of it you romantic sap." His demon snapped, huffing an angry cloud of smoke. "Just enjoy the time you've got- who knows, maybe things'll turn out different than you expect." With another glance at Sarra lying beside him he felt a bit of heat rise to his cheeks- his dragon toyingly blowing smoke hearts behind him.

Sarracenia
Sarra smiled a bit as she noticed Deimos's dragon blowing smoke hearts behind them in an obviously teasing manner. "Romantic, huh?" Sarra asked, raising an eyebrow at Deimos as if he had something to do with the dragon's decision to make hearts. "So, boyfriend," Sarra teased, "What are you thinkin' bout'? If you say pie like every other pony I've ever known, I will punch you or I will give my demon the pleasure of beating you senseless with vines. I, for one, am thinking about, uh... Well, I'll be honest, I'm thinking about kissing you." Sarra stuck her tongue out a bit and laughed at herself, she felt like a preschooler who'd just received their first peck on the cheek saying those words... She felt incredibly childish.

Deimos

"Now why would I be thinking about pie?" He raised an eyebrow, quite honestly confused by the notion. He paused a moment, acknowledging her question. "I'd have to second your notion." He had yet to notice his demon's activity- but the rising trail of smoke hearts inconspicuously placed behind him weren't helping his case. "Is there… something behind me?"

Sarracenia
"Because pie is delicious, obviously!" Sarracenia joked. "No, in all seriousness, I actually don't like pie that much and most ponies I've met have such a lack of intellect that that is their go-to response -- to say that they are thinking about pie -- almost like they have some unacknowledged instinct to worship the very existence of pie like pie is God or something..." Sarra shrugged as if that was just an ordinary day's discovery. "And about there being something behind you, I won't answer that. I'll let you figure this one out, Sherlock." And then Sarra looked back up to sky to let Deimos find his demon's activity going on behind him.

Deimos

His dragon quickly knocked it off, feigning innocence before Deimos could notice and scold him. Deimos did glance back but by that time there wasn't anything to see. "Huh…" He scowled suspiciously, giving his demon an 'I'm watching you' glare. "A pie God… That's a pretty funny picture if I do say so myself." He cracked another goofy grin- just picturing some obscure floating pie in the sky was silly enough but picturing it being the almighty creator of everything just made it that much better.

(( Thank you Troll for putting that wonderful image of Le' Almighty Pie God, Creator of Everything, in my head. Every time I read it, I think of something new about Pie God. I was cracking up just imagining Pie God, dressed in ceremonial white robes, looking down upon us lesser beings. //rolls away laughing// ))

Sarracenia
"Don't make fun of the intellectual Pie God reining over your very existence," Sarra smiled at the idea as well, imagining having been created by a pie. "So, Deimos," Sarra said, watching the last edges of the sun sink below the horizon, "I would love to sit out here and talk to you forever, but our light has disappeared and I'd hate for you to be eaten by any monstrosity of the dark." Sarra rolled onto her side to look at him, "I... Uh.... Urm... Can you get home okay?"

Deimos

"Oh?" His ears perked, turning his gaze to Sarra again. "Don't worry about me- I'm more than capable of making my way home." A devious spark returned to his blue slitted eyes. "It's not as if I haven't roamed the streets at night before." He cracked a sly grin, his sharp teeth adding to his notion. "You should head inside anyway- wouldn't want you getting caught up in any necessary conflict either."

((yep, the Pie God. what have we even done. xD))

[just that lass]

(( We've created a monster that laughs in the very face of our existence. Us petty humans, unknowingly ruled by an almighty pie-like god in the sky. Woe is our significance compared to Pie God. ))

Sarracenia
Sarra raised her eyebrows at him, "Oh, so you think I need to go inside to stay safe? I am no helpless maiden, I promise you. I've defended myself many times in the past... The past..." Sarra automatically regretted mentioning the past, she didn't like to think about it at all. Sarra sighed, "Oh, Deimos, my past. I can't believe I've got myself to thinking about that." Sarra looked down at her hooves, "I haven't considered it in such a long time and I shouldn't be thinking about it now but... I've seen a lot in my years and every time I do something, it feels like I'm doing it too late. But... I'm being unnecessarily deep and Shakespeare." Sarra rolled her eyes at herself, "I wish you knew how old I was because then you'd understand why I'm so... Strange." Sarra threw her hooves up in the air in an "I give up on whatever I'm talking about" gesture. "But, Deimos, I'm not telling you my age unless you're brave enough to tell me your's. With our demons only the almighty Pie God knows how many decades we could be apart! I can only hope that one of us isn't old enough to be the other's grandparent or parent! I'd hate to be the same age as your mother, Pie God forbid such a thing!" Sarra was joking by now, laughing quite hard and mumbling "Pie God, Almighty Pie God."

(( Sorry for the [rushed-together, edited many times] late response; I got distracted reading The Book Thief and listening to On Top Of The World by Imagine Dragons ._. ))

Aʟɪsᴛᴀɪʀ hesitated, and finally, he gave in.
"Fine, fine!! Just do it already..." he said. He could feel his body growing weaker by the minute.

Aᴇʀᴀ sneered, and looked away.
"That doesn't help, stupid. I'll go scan, but it'll take awhile, due to the fact that I'll have to go incognito the whole time to avoid being killed..." she said, spreading her wings.

Deimos

"How old am I?" Deimos paused a moment to think. "That's a good question, actually. I stopped counting once I-" His words cut off abruptly. "You know the past is really a dangerous thing, isn't it?" He sighed, "Then again I've yet to meet a demon pony with the perfect life- there is a good reason we are the way we are." He said with a small shrug. He chuckled as well, "Indeed."

((wow uhm that was really late and really short. apologies for that. |D
