[video] one and one is two

[bedsidemanners]

[Raphael has a pointer in hand and is currently jabbing it towards hand-drawn but accurate, labeled diagrams of male and female reproductive systems. First at one, then at the other, as if he's instructing a small child.]

Depending on who you ask, this is either the most natural thing in the world or a perversion of the highest order. Regardless, it has its inconveniences.

[Without half the amusement this might seem to warrant, he sets down the pointer and puts up a picture of a baby, covering up the diagrams.]

So I suggest using protection.

[A box of condoms and a pack of birth control pills zoom from off-camera into his hand. He holds them both up for inspection.]

[... And then with even less amusement, he puts up a picture of a red-eyed, one-winged angel on top of the first.]

Please.

[No amusement left at all, as he shakes his head slowly, pushing back a few strands of hair before putting up a picture of a demon. He looks at it for a second before turning to the camera again, edge of his mouth starting to tilt into as near a grin as he can manage--]

-- But once you've ensured that everything's safe, enjoy yourselves. Experiment. If you ever need any tips, don't hesitate to let me know.

(OOC: ... ahaha. He'll explain if asked, but in Angel Sanctuary, the product of an angel/angel union is an inbred i-child, which tends to have red eyes and one or no wings. The product of an angel/human union, allegedly, is an Evil.)

I need to go to the hospital because there's a doctor who will give me condoms. [He likes this word.] But I don't know how to get there.

[bedsidemanners]

I'm a doctor.

Haven't you got a map on your device?

[ronderotarel]

I don't understand maps, they're confusing. [More like he's always had Claude doing these things for him, and doing them by myself just reminds him that Claude is not here.] Are you really a doctor? You think I'm infected? That other doctor said I needed to go over for a check up.

[bedsidemanners]

The best in the world. But I've got a limited clientele.

[a pause] I'd say it's likely.

[ronderotarel]

Why is it likely? Do you see it on my face? [He's freaking out now.] The doctor said it might be because I live with someone who's not human. But we haven't had intercourse yet. You think I might be infected all the same? And my brother is just six, you think he might be infected too? [On the edge of hysteria.] If you have a limited clientele that's okay. You can not treat me, but can you treat my brother?

[bedsidemanners]

..... Wait, is your brother here?

Calm down. I was only judging from how... [ugh, the idea of talking about this with someone who got a start this young is a bit distasteful to him]... you were talking about it. No one would know for sure without an exam.

[debating, but only a little] I... don't generally treat men.

[ronderotarel]

Yes, my brother is here too. Now I'm worried about him. I don't want to pass my infections to him. If I have any. Please can you treat him? I'll give you anything you want.

[bedsidemanners]

He hasn't slept with anyone, has he? If not he's probably clean.

1/2

[ronderotarel]

Of course he hasn't.

2/2

[ronderotarel]

Does this mean I will get infected if I sleep with someone? Even if he's not human?

[bedsidemanners]

There's a possibility. Of course, the chance gets higher as the number of partners you have increases, but... what is he, exactly?

[ronderotarel]

He's a demon. He's a creature from hell. Do you know anything about them?

[bedsidemanners]

More than I'd like.

[ronderotarel]

So-- are they infective?

[bedsidemanners]

Only morally.

[ronderotarel]

Ah. Not all of them, really! This one is just a baby demon, and he's really shy. He's not a bad person either. [If we're talking about demons like the one Alois is contracted to-- then maybe he can agree with you a bit.]

[bedsidemanners]

You sleep with a baby demon?

[ronderotarel]

He's a baby in the sense that he's only become a demon recently. He was a human before that. [Why is this difficult to explain.] Also I haven't slept with him. Yet.

[bedsidemanners]

... Yet?

I'd... assume he should be fine. How did that even happen?

[ronderotarel]

You mean how he got turned into a demon? [Alois is not really sure he should be talking about his own personal things with a stranger. The curse already had him talk about issues he'd never mention otherwise, but he figures Ciel would be cross if he found out Alois discussed these things with a stranger.] It's-- very complicated.

[bedsidemanners]

... I see.

[Clearly he doesn't.] Did he... did it have anything to do with his soul? [Because that makes a distinct amount of sense, and if he'd had the soul of a demon, it wasn't really a case of getting turned into one so much as it was reverting...]

[and, reluctantly]

Did you want any condoms?

[ronderotarel]

[That is mildly impressive. Alois did not expect to find many other people in this city who know about demons and souls. He supposes he can tell what happened to this guy. He'll probably find out about it anyway.] Yes. My demon liked his soul more than he liked mine. So I turned Ciel into a demon so that my demon could never have him. It was a punishment. [A smirk.] I would have never let him take my demon away from me. But I do like Ciel now! I made him! [And after a moment's thought.] I might need those condoms yes.

[bedsidemanners]

I wasn't aware such a thing could be done. How do you have a demon of your own?

[... well. By Raphael's skewed figuring, the damage has already been done. Might as well offer them up.] All right, you can come and get them, then.

[ronderotarel]

I have a demon because I made a contract with him. His name is Claude. [He looks pleased.] You'll give them to me? Really? Where do you want to meet me?

[bedsidemanners]

That's an odd name for a demon.

I don't need that many boxes. The fountain would be fine.
