Anonymous said: 👀+ Out of everyone in Devildom that you have met so far, who is the most attractive to you and why? -Barbatos
( SEND 👀 + A QUESTION AND MY MUSE MUST ANSWER TRUTHFULLY )
“ I presume this means Devildom citizens then ? “ His head tilts to the side with composed smile , though the expression is strained in an effort not to tell. But even he can’t quite overcome this truthfulness. “ Lord Diavolo. Though I would say Lucifer would be a close second. “ Ah... That was...unfortunate to be known information now. “ As for why , naturally I find those I’m attracted to as most attractive. And I’m only attracted to those I know. They know me best as do I them. Although merely from an aesthetically beautiful point could be different. No , I would stay to my point for my tastes. but there are undeniably quite a few attractive demons in Devildom. If you broke it down by certain aspects my answer would likely change , such as eyes or jawline , but as a whole they are the most attractive. “

@umbra-speculum said: “ everyone has secrets, don’t they? i’m sure you’ll tell me yours when you’re ready. ” simeon @ barbatos?
( EMOTIONAL PROMPTS )
“ Naturally. “
People all had things they wished to keep in the dark , skeletons they never wanted others to see. Some were terrible , bloodied and violent and gruesome , while others were small or embarrassing rather than horrible. But they were secrets all the same. Chapters to never be read , things never to be confessed or spoken of unless necessity drove them to.
But Simeon’s words - It’s a sweet sentiment , a gesture of acceptance to let the demon take his time to share information. Simeon was not going to try to forcibly read chapters but rather wait till Barbatos handed him content to learn from.
Except Barbatos wasn’t sure what really counted as a secret to others. It wasn’t that Barbatos concealed a ton ( well , perhaps a section of it ) but few often asked details of the dragon demon , and thus the butler simply never talked about it. Not because it was a secret , but an assumption there was no interest and the fact that he’d been serving the royal family for so long that he simply forgot to talk about himself. Barbatos was hardly a forgetful demon , but that was an area he forgot most often.
“ Ah. About that. “ Barbatos gently set down his tea as he pondered what to say. “ Some of course. Or if there are things you wish to know then I wouldn’t mind answering. However... By royal orders , there is some information about myself I am not allowed to divulge. “
To that , he offers an apologetic smile.
“ Part of my...servitude. It is not something I can override , I’m afraid. In which case , I can’t even if I wish to. “ His tails flick behind him , as if irritated though the complicated expression he wore didn’t falter. “ ...A certain sorcerer however might be able to if I cannot answer. I gave him my grimoire after all. But I think many things I at least could answer. I’m...sorry Simeon. “

RANDOM MUSIC INSPIRED STARTER CALL - @eraba-reta-unmei
Muse: Barbatos
Song: Lovers Death - Ursine Vulpine
“ Time doesn’t work the same for me. Well. At least when my powers aren’t sealed. That’s probably why these sorts of storylines don’t bother me. “ The same could not seemingly be said for most of the brothers or the angels. An amused smile tugged at the corner of the butler’s lips. “ Perhaps we should get them snacks and put a movie not so complex on for them. Would you mind assisting me ? “
Barbatos checked she was with him before starting to walk to the castle’s kitchen. “ I thought it was quite a good movie you picked. But for me , it is different. I see the beginning and the end at the same time. Birth and death. Love born , love dying. I suppose in that way , love is always rather tragic. Any kind. Eventually someone must leave. But at the same time , I also always see love always shining the brightest. and purest. “
His head tilts slightly , a soft chuckle leaving his lips. “ Ah , pardon me. This is probably quite boring and complicated with its contradictions. I often chose not to look into the future when I had free use. Would you mind getting the cups for the tea ? “

attention for your neglected muses starter call - @veritcs (mutsuki)
“ So you’re the human spying , hm ? You’re quite good at noticing when something is amiss. Very few humans have ever suspected me of being nonhuman while on an outing. “
Barbatos wasn’t certain who this figure was , but it was intriguing all the same. A sorcerer perhaps ? A practitioner of something certainly. It was the only explanation of why the other might have sensed that something wasn’t quite right. How amusing. Spying was certainly better than immediate hostility as far as he was concerned. Not because it was ever a concern to him , but it was a hassle.
A gloved hand raised to cross his chest in imitation of formal behavior. “ I assure you I don’t intend to cause any problems. I’ve heard the tea from this region is quite remarkable and couldn’t help but want to try the experience myself. “

@thecursedpriestess said: "I know you can protect yourself--but it is not going to stop me from trying to keep you safe."-Barbatos
( MORE PROTECTIVE PROMPTS )
“ Please stop this nonsense. “
It was rare that Barbatos’s voice ever broke from its typical butler-styled speech. But now it was sharper , a voice that was no stranger to authority or command as one might expect. His tail lashed behind him , shaking his head.
“ I will not allow you to do such a thing. This isn’t an option you have , Miss Kikyou. “ His chin lifted slightly. “ You are mortal. I can take infinite more damage than you can and be fine. Do not risk yourself for something as senseless as that. “ He sighs , taking a moment to collect himself.
When he spoke again , he was more or less back to his normal tone. “ You are not Solomon. I would prefer Solomon did not do such things either. But he will regardless. However , he cannot die. Unlike you. Not to mention his abilities. “ Would that be enough ? Doubtful.
“ If nothing else , think about the bigger picture. You are not just here for you. You are also here as an ambassador of the human race. If you die or get injured because you tried to protect me from something I could survive , or even if I couldn’t , think about that would do. It would destroy all the hard work and the temporary peace between the three realms. “ Barbatos explains , painting the picture larger than them. “ If not for my request , please consider ceasing such thoughts for the sake of all the realms. “

Anonymous said: ►+ Tell me a random, unknown fact about yourself Barbatos~
( SEND ► + A COMMAND AND MY MUSE MUST OBEY )
Such a thought wouldn’t be hard if it wasn’t for a certain sorcerer. Many details and secrets had been traded over the centuries. Something entirely unknown ? That required some thought.
They never said it had be important.
“ I started baking back when I was angel because of an accident at one of the angelic banquets. Flavors got mixed that weren’t intended but it was quite delicious. After that , I decided to experiment in baking. I’ve never lost the title of best baker in the realms since I claimed it. “

@safaerax said: ' Joyeux anniversaire, Barbatos! ' Freya announces as she makes her presence known in the room. She hopes he didn't mind too much she took over the kitchen, refusing he goes in and cooks anything for his birthday. She assured him she would have everything under control and she meant it. He was always doing so much to help, she wanted to make sure he was doing anything but serving. Freya took it upon herself to prepare special meals for each period of the day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each one a different recipe from different countries, saving the array of French pastries for last as she set them up on the table.
From rose and cherry eclaris, to macaroons that matched Barbatos color scheme, to Mille-feuille, canelés, anything she hadn't tried herself was assorted in a beautiful display for everyone to enjoy. She also made sure everything was left clean as it was received to her before she was ushering the butler into the room. ' You get first pick! I've also got tea ready so you can relax and enjoy them.' // happy birthday Barbatossss ! Freya said shes gonna handle the chores so you can relax. ~
today is Barbatos’s birthday!
Barbatos was rather surprised at the fact today seemed significant to anyone at all. Of course he knew what day it was. But even in many previous years he had served as a butler at his own party , the focus on the party more than him. He didn’t expect anything different thought. But today he’d been shooed out of the kitchen all day. It had granted him more free time between other duties being fulfilled , but it was odd. The last day he’d not been in the kitchen had been when he was sick several millennia ago.
The thought was appreciated of course , but it still left the dragonic demon uncertain. But thoughts were chased away as he got to see the desserts that were brought out , interest flaring at such a sight. Especially noting when some were in the coloration of himself. A simplistic but entertaining touch that he quite enjoyed. So many choices , and all by herself ?
“ This is most impressive , Freya. “ He finally speaks , looing over it all with an appreciative expression. There’s a small chuckle , a delicate noise rare to hear from Barbatos. “ I’m rather speechless it seems. Thank you for your hard work. “ He would much prefer something like this than a huge , loud party that the others did every year. He offers Freya a smile before moving forward to start picking what he wanted most. Well , a little indulgence today wouldn’t hurt. He’d hate to make her thing her efforts weren’t appreciated.

starter call for those i HAVENT interacted with - @mcmcntomorii
“ I figured I might find you here. You seem to be quite fond of the library here. “
Barbatos’s voice was calm , a gentle break in the silence of the library as he looked to where the exchange student was. He didn’t need his ability of seeing time to figure it out. It wasn’t particularly hard. ( That , and Solomon was often tucked in one of the corners of the library as well. ) Funny that no one else seemed to realize this notion , at least not yet.
“ It seems you’ve got the brothers nagging often. Don’t worry , I didn’t come to scold or lecture you. “ It wasn’t his problem unless Diavolo ordered. “ Rather , I was going to invite you to the palace for tea and desserts if you’d like , and to the royal library. It’s where some of the higher textbooks are kept since the main library is often gaining more casual books from the realms. “

@thecursedpriestess said: “Barbatos~ I heard that it is your birthday soon. Is there anything you wish to do or investigate for that special day?” :3
“ Oh , I suppose it is. “ He never spent much time dwelling on such a thought but it wasn’t largely unheard of that others might recall ( or be informed ). “ How thoughtful. Please , you don’t need to interrupt your day for me. “

@pcrdiseseekers said: ‘please, don’t leave me’ (mc yuno @ barbatos)
( SEND "please, don't leave me" FOR MY MUSES REACTION )
Now that was an odd request , but it successfully brings the butler to stop from where he’d been ready to retreat from the room. When was the last time he’d heard that ? Quite a long time - chronologically at least. For a demon who controlled time , time worked different albeit Diavolo’s restriction on his abilities forced Barbatos to live more linearly than he would have otherwise.
Barbatos turns around , offering a polite smile. “ Is something the matter ? I assure you that you are quite safe here. “ He offers gentle reassurances as a gloved hand presses over his own chest in formal stance as was per usual.
Still , he’d never heard Yuno ask for anyone else to stay before. He hesitates - he has duties , but he also wouldn’t want the human to be uncomfortable or upset. Leaving would clearly do that. A silent sigh signals an answer as he snaps his fingers. Two Little D’s appear shortly after and Barbatos gives them a set of orders before he dismisses them and focuses on Yuno again.
“ If you’d like me not to leave , then I won’t. “ He walks closer to the chairs near the fireplace , standing just a bit to the side behind one. “ Is there something that I can do for you ? Or would you just like some company ? “ Best to ask. His position was to serve after all.

@thecursedpriestess said: ❛ you’ll be no help to anyone if you run yourself into the ground . ❜- Barbatos
( 50 DIOLAGUE STARTERS )
Barbatos tilted his head towards Kikyo in acknowledgment of her words and a sign that he was paying attention as he continued to work. What had brought that up ? The fact she had yet to see him relaxing ? That he had , once again , been tasked with organizing another event as Lord Diavolo’s request ? There were several options to pick from but in truth it mattered very little as to what had prompted it.
“ I appreciate your concern. “ He answers calmly , plucking a book from the shelves to put it on the desk with the papers. This next event really was going to be a headache. ( Then again , most of them were as it was. ) “ But it is my duty. This isn’t optional or a matter of protesting anything. I’m not a hired servant. Such things are not something I can do. “ He remarks without even glancing up as he flipped through the book to the page he wanted.
“ Besides , “ He offers a thin smile as he looks towards her. “ I’ve been doing this for many , many eons. I’m quite used to it. “ Did it nullify the point she made ? No. But it might reassure her nerves if she was aware he’d done this for so long.

@eraba-reta-unmei said: “...didn’t know where else to go...” [ For Barbatos or Lucifer ]
( SEND “...didn’t know where else to go...” FOR YOUR MUSE TO SHOW UP ON MINE’S DOORSTEP IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM, SHIVERING & SOAKED )
Another exhausting day nearly concluded once he completed this last menial task. Such would allow him a few hours of rest and reprieve before the cycle would repeat once again , just as it had nearly daily for the last hundred thousand years. A sigh - finally d-
Knock Knock Knock.
With no witnesses to see it , a flash of irritation appeared on Barbatos’s features. Lord Diavolo had retired to bed several hours ago and there was no one scheduled for a visit. Who had the audacity to appear without appointment , much less at such an hour ? If it was the brothers , the butler was rather certain they would have tried something more sneaky. ( A fruitless method , they vainly believed they could sneak by Barbatos. ) Still , it was his duty to serve. But they would be getting a strict lecture , whomever they might be. Not to mention in the middle of a storm !
White gloves opened the front doors to the Demon Lord’s Castle with a small frown , already ready to lecture before he saw both who it was and the state she was in. His eyes widened in surprise before he quickly ushered her in the door and away from the foul weather raging outside.
“ Miya , what’s happened ? “ Concern manifested as the demon used a bit of his power to bring a warm towel to them , draping it around her quickly. “ Please sit. I’ll have one of the little D’s get you a warm bath started immediately. “ Many creatures were more fragile than demons , it was important she be warmed immediately. Simultaneously he was already using magic to fix her up a cup of tea to raise her body temperature and potentially soothe her. Though he preferred to do so by hand , magic was far more efficient at the moment.
“ Please , drink some of this. “ The dragon demon urges , offering the tea to her as he looked over her , trying to access how bad of shape she was in. “ Then tell me what’s happened if you can. “

@thecursedpriestess said: "Barbatos, I can see that being a royal butler is a full time job but outside of that, are there any activities you enjoy doing to unwind ? If it is too personal, you are free to disregard the question."
For him it was more a contract than a job , but he saw no need in clarifying such matters. They would be insignificant to her regardless. He offers a pleasant smile as was often his expression , raising a hand to his chin. “ I do enjoy baking and gardening , although I’m fairly certain that is common knowledge and both do indeed play a role in my job. I’m afraid I can’t name anything I do currently that doesn’t factor in to my role as the Young Master’s butler. I once did before this role , but that was many eons ago. “ He offers with a small laugh.
Although such a remark seems to spark a memory. “ Although creating treasure maps or puzzles for people to solve for events is quite fun. I used to do such for fun before as well , so I suppose that such could count as an activity ? Though I’m not sure about unwinding. “

@thecursedpriestess said: “I’m not letting you go alone, Barbatos”.
“ I assure you , it really isn’t necessary for you to accompany me to the market. I’m certain the brothers certainly keep you busy. Now will be one of the few times you have for true relaxation. “
Going to the market by himself was hardly anything new for the demon butler. He did many of the major tasks like that by himself , or with the little D’s if it was extremely necessary. Such were the tasks and burdens of being the royal butler. The offer , or statement rather , had been quite unusual. The last person to offer was Solomon , simply because he frequently visited the Devildom.
“ That said - “ Spoken before she might decide to argue. “ If you truly wish to accompany me , I wouldn’t mind the company. “
