[IN THE MEANTIME: SCARAMOUCHE, WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HUNTER DYING AT ALL girl help. He's already had more than enough of talking about the weird happenstances from the night before and Hunter's death, so when he approaches Nameless, it's not for that reason at all. Rather, holding his phone up:]
You there. Why is your entry on this damned thing so empty?

[the way i had to sit here for so long trying to decide if scaramouche would know homunculus by that exact term when [redacted] exists but is also so far from his storyline and scope of care.
It's recognizable enough, but:]
What does that entail? Specifically.

[So much happens over in Genshin land.]
Specifically?
A homunculus like me is made from a formula. We can be used as servants, soldiers, or as fuel for projects that require mana. It's easier to make a homunculus and put it to death instead of using humans for this purpose.
I was supposed to be used as fuel and put to death in the service of somebody else's magic.

[so much really does happen all the time...
In any case, he just laughs at that! It's an unpleasant sound, nasty and cold.]
Humans will be humans no matter where you go. I guess that's the least surprising thing about any of this. [BINCHASS HUMANS can't trust a damn one of them to not be weirdos.]
Is that how you died, then?

Revenge..?
[Like he's never really considered it. Because to be honest, it's not something that tends to cross his mind.
What he wants is... he's never really stopped to think about his long term plan. (He'd never had the chance to think of it before.)]
If it meant I could live, I would've killed him. I was just weak.

[There is, for a moment, little change in his expression - but eventually, he smiles. Very few of his smiles are pleasant, but this one has a different edge compared to the sharp-toothed ones he tends to give the people he's bullying.]
A shame that you were. Those are the humans that deserve death the most. Something nice and drawn out, so he could understand the meaning of fear down to his core - so he could know before he died that he made the worst mistake.

[NAMELESS PLEASE RUN.
This is unfortunately one of his favorite topics of conversation, though! Yay!]
That would depend on who he is, of course. Every person has a different breaking point, and if you really want to make someone pay for what they've done, you would need to know at least enough about them to know what would hurt them the most. [He says this so conversationally, like it is Normal.]
Though of course, not many people like pain, so that's always an easy option.

[SOMEONE SAVE NAMELESS THEN too bad this is the confines of a pc... rip]
How boring. Predictable, at that. [Raising his hands a little.] Well! You don't need to know all that much; like I said, pain is an easy option. Always start from the feet so they stay conscious for as long as possible.

[ME THROWING SCARAMOUCHE LIKE A FRISBEE AWAY FROM THIS SWEET LAD.]
Because in the feet, there aren't many things to damage that would lead to a quick fatality. Humans have come up with all kinds of terrible, creative ways to torture each other in ways that won't threaten their lives, you know?
[CLEARLY NOT.]
If you're too careless with a blade or even a fist, you could puncture an organ or sever an important artery.

[I'M ALSO FEELING INSANE ABOUT THIS. Nameless is the only creature on this wholeass island that Scaramouche likes now besides the actual demons. Help.]
These are important things to know. [ARE THEY.] I'll teach you more, so that if anyone tries to cross you again, you can make them regret it right away.
