Raphael's Links
Whoo, shake that ass big guy! Raph is something of a semi-regular to the House of Jack - but still, he doesn't really know Suave as well as some of the other staff. He knows he's in charge of course, and they've occasionally shared words with each other, but never really anything of significant worth.
Still, Raph certainly doesn't mind watching the big bear work! And he certainly likes to make sure the bear knows he's watching - after all, always fun to see a guy like that blush~
Well... Raphael is... certainly a happy customer? Admittedly a rather, uh, hands-on one at times, he's certainly not shy. Then again, he always at the very least tips well - just as soon as the money's been fished out of whatever tights he's tucked his cash down. It's kind of an uncomfortable deal, but Suave gets the distinct impression Raph is doing it rather intentionally.
Suave just worries that perhaps the salamander may be something of a bad influence on his other staff... He's definitely one to keep an eye on.
Oooh, this guy! Now this is the sorta kindred spirit who knows how to live the life. It's not just about being big rich and sexy - you also gotta keep yourself entertained! In many respects, the two are probably quite similar.
At the same time, Raph would at least hope he's not QUITE that obnoxious. Superiority complex much? 'We're not so different you and I' doesn't usually get the response of 'Yah no but I'm better tho'.
Oh Guet, Guet's pretty great! Like... yeah he's got his fair share of similarities with the more boring of the 'rich' crowd, all class and conversation - but usually it tends to be conversations WORTH having. For a start, he seems to understand where Raph is coming from - plus he's a man who actually WORKS for the luxuries, rather than just festering in whatever wealth he already had.
Plus, y'know, helps that he's kinda cute. He seems the perfect sort to mess with and get all sorts of flustered without really upsetting him TOO much.
What a swell guy! Raph here is delightful, always the fun of the party, and isn't afraid to be himself while others would hold expectations over him! In that regard, he's incredibly respectable, and honestly makes Gueton quite jealous that he can do as he pleases without the consistent fear of people judging you! He looks up to Raph in that aspect, but in others... less so. Mainly how, like Seth, he's quite unhinged. Harmlessly so, but Raph is sometimes a bit too much for him. For while Guet would rather settle down, Raph actively likes going out and risking his life. And Gueton cannot understand that at all.
Raph swears he must've been a demon goat in some previous life, because he seems to know a striking number of them, and seems to have a striking number of similarities with each. Eli definitely fits comparitively to Raphael's sense of mischief and flirtatious energy... albeit, Raph does perhaps wonder where each of their individual limits lie.
Ok listen, Eli doesn't even remember meeting Raph. He knows he attended his party, and was... more than slightly drunk at the time, but he can't for the life of him recall actually meeting the elusive host. Still, he enjoyed the party and his servants seemed a decent sort - pleasant, not overly against mischief or flirting, and relaxed to boot - so chances are, he's the kind of person he'd get on with.
Esme. Raphael LIKES Esme. Not in any romantic sense of course, but that attitude and demeanour, that wild primalism with a joy for thrills all held inside a form that's more than pleasing to the eye? Yeah, no, Raph would certainly be lying if he claimed he DIDN'T want to get in the hyena's pants. Or like, scrap with her, or other things. She seems like a fun time!
Admittedly the whole, uh, 'murder' thing was somewhat disconcerting. But that's like, hundreds of years in the past now right? Survival of the fittest and all that. And my, she is fit.
In Esme's eyes, the only bad thing about Raph is how little time she's spent with him - and perhaps the fact she hasn't seen him naked yet. He has a rough-yet-refined attitude, is extremely pleasing on the eye, and as a mortal who shares her desire for thrill-seeking, she honestly see's him as one of the few beings she could *properly* befriend!.. if she was interested in such things, at least.
She's mildly surprised at his concern for her past murders, but he's the kind of guy worth lying to about such things. I mean, he doesn't need to know 'hundreds of years ago' was a bit of a stretch, so long as it keeps that pretty smile on his gorgeous face
Ah yes, Elizabeth, the winner of his little Halloween contest! Seemed a pleasant enough girl - easily flustered, with a lot of blushing too. Perfect! A bit of a tease and a flirt in that direction certainly shall not go amiss!
Just a shame that he hasn't actually seen her since she came to learn what her prize was. He owes her a shopping trip, and fully intends to pay! A day out with the pleasant young figure would certainly be an enjoyable experience!
...Mmmaybe he accidentally scared her off last time. Whoops.
As someone who isn't afraid to flatter and flirt, seems... fairly aware of his own good looks and charms, yet has fairly pleasant attitude and a rough kindness to them, it is safe to say that Raph.. unnerves Elizabeth. Not in the sense that she thinks he's creepy or anything like that, but more in the sense that she could... very easily lose herself to a man like that? And whilst she's reasonably certain he's not that kind of figure, it has made her a little concerned about cashing in her prize. I mean, whilst she'd *love* a shopping trip with someone who... might actually be interested, she's also a tad afraid of what *she* might say by accident.
This guy... gal... person... They're insatiable! Not that that's a problem, but dear lord. It's like looking in a mirror of sorts. Plus well... let's be honest, the good Doctor is both a freak and a li'l bit crazy - each of which have their own reputations when it comes to their shared pass-time.
Either way, it's hard not to respect them in a lot of ways. Like, those riches are all self-made as far as Raph's aware, which is always worth acknowledgement. Plus, they don't carry themselves like a rich person, they're much more... adventurous. And Raph LIKES adventurous.
Ah yes, the host of many-a-party! Raphael and Seth have spent probably the most amount of time together when held against how little they know of each other. Simply put, they're both rich and both horny as hell - needless to say, they've probably spent more time in the sack with each other than they have actually talking.
Still, the salamander IS of deeper interest to Seth. After all, he has a veeery interesting power. That, and the huge mystery labyrinth hiding beneath Raph's house. That CERTAINLY has Seth's attention.
Oh, now Arc was a fun little fellow! Cute li'l guy, seemed to take himself aaall too seriously. Which makes it all the more fun to see him get just that little bit flustered!
Of course, after one meeting, he can't say he knows the guy all too well. Still, he sees something of a fellow 'rogue at heart' in the young gent. He's fun!
Arc isn't.. used to hanging around people who look so.. fancy? Like, he's this loud blabbermouth with no class, and then there's this finely dressed lizard with-- apparently amazing parkour skills. Huh. Who'd of guessed. Still! Arc didn't mind his company at all. In fact he was surprised Raph stayed at all, considering how babbly he tends to get. Arc definitely wouldn't mind spending more time with him if he was given the opportunity.
Aaah yes, the unusual and exotic! Okay, well, perhaps not TOO exotic, but Raph would be hesitant to suggest scorpion's were a common species. Besides which - he'd be lying if he said he didn't like ladies with a li'l sting to them!
Puns aside, Sarah was enjoyable, albeit brief company! The right combination of a friendly pleasantness with a flusterable naivety that could be used to draw up the slightest blush! He'd like to meet her again - even if just to see if he can make the scorpion more... lobster-esque.
This salamander certainly left quite an impression on Sarah. A brief meeting but certainly one to remember. Raphael gave the impression of someone with a lot of confidence and he didn't seem hold back to show it. Despite not knowing a lot about this man, she'd like to meet him again some time and get to know him better.
Aaah, the big gal who interupted his flirtations. Not his type, he's afraid, and definitely not someone he'd expect to spend common company with. Whilst those with short tempers and an aggressive fuse can oftentimes be amusing, Kiera seemed... a little TOO eager for a fight.
Still, this whole 'Cage' ordeal sounds like a lot of fun. Perhaps at some point he'll poke his head in. See what that's all about!
Ah! Mr Salamander. Seemed like a nice enough guy, outside of the whole 'weh, you shouldn't be trying to start fights with people' attitude. Like... keep your nose out of her fucking business. Besides! The Witch woman started it. Still, outside of that they made a good first impression, especially since they seemed interested in The Cage. Potential opponents are always appreciated~
Oh god, Zeke. Zekey Baby. Raph can't say he knows the guy well at all, but he's definitely run into himself a number of times at various high-class parties. Not that Zeke himself is the classiest of people - then again, neither is Raph, so they have that in common!
All-in-all, Zeke is an entertaining, albeit overbearing fellow. He's fun to hang around, but boy you have to be prepared to give him ALL your attention, because he's gonna demand it. Raph needs to invite him to more parties really. Liven the place up.
The big fancy guy with the big house right? Yeeeaaah, Raph's not bad! I mean, he throws pool parties and invites babes - and Zeke loves babes! He can't complain at all about the guy!
...Well okay, other than sometimes he gets the feeling the salamander isn't actually listening to him. Like, yeah dude, you're rich, whatever, but you ain't famous! So show some respect for someone who's actually got tales to tell, not someone who's just been around the world in eighty whatever!
Ahaha, okay, now that - THAT was FUN! Like, seriously, can he hire this one out? Do they do a rental service on psychotic demons? ...Okay, technically summoning them is sorta like that, but that's dangerous and... Okay, yeah, that's DEFINITELY a plan for future! Add that to the list of potential hobbies!
Still, however fun it was, unfortunately Raph REALLY couldn't allow Mafrit a second chance at what she did. It's evident she had ill intent for others, and whilst the salamander is always down to spar... What's more important is protecting everyone else.
Aaaah, her... Whilst at first they seemed like they COULD be fun, Raph inevitably concluded that she's really not his type. The whole knowledge obsession stretched right past 'boring' and straight into 'weird'. And not the 'ooh exotic' kind of weird. Whilst getting under her skin for a little while might be fun, he really couldn't imagine being able to stand any extended contact with her.
Not only that but, wow, rude? He's there kicking ass, protecting her precious library, and then she just throws him under the bus with the other demon as someone who was 'threatening the books'? Well fuck you too lady! Next time she can fight her own battles!
They were... interesting? Certainly they were full of information and explanations, and she greatly enjoyed their and the rabbit womans concept of this... fiction. In fact, she is glad to have met them because it means she now has a whole new avenue of ideas and knowledge to explore! Plus, they were instrumental in protecting the precious knowledge from that cruel individual. Over all, an ok person. Maybe next time they will have more knowledge for her.
Aaah, yes, the young rabbit woman from the 'Demon Armadillo in the Library' incident. Sweet - in that salty sorta way. She came off quite stand-offish at first. The sort of... archetypical 'snooty librarian' sort, which seemed rather fitting to their location. Of course, 'neath that rough exterior, Raphael is sure lies the heart of a much looser young lady. Letting her hair down, dirty dancing, that sort of thing.
And he would be a liar if he were to claim that the idea of breaking that exterior didn't entertain him. He HAD after all, already seemingly managed to fluster her - it was kind of cute. He could perhaps do with more demon attacks - see what he can REALLY do to impress her.
Cocoa.... has weird complex feelings about Raph. On one hand he has weird powers and she's just.. weirded out and hesitant about things like that- he can literally multiply himself and it's weird and creepy and Cocoa isnt //used// to this kind of weird display of power, but on the other hand he saved her life. He is the single reason why she isn't dead and the cafe wasn't handed down to Croissant. She.. really appreciates what he did, and though she didn't have a chance to thank him properly, she wishes she could see him again if only to actually //talk// to him, and maybe.. get used to the weird happenings in Mobius.
I have the feeling he's sneaky. And doing things. But I don't know whaaaaaaaaaat.
Oh hey, Raph remembers this guy, sorta kinda! They were the one with the li'l dog, right? When he was doing the fire juggling? Nice guy! Can't say he really got to know him but... nice guy!
Oh, yes, Raph was uh... showing off his torch-juggling skills in the park. It- it was impressive! Persi was especially impressed.
god he's so sorry for his puppy she was just trying to play so sorry
