[ Angel’s lingering by the angled late-day sunlight coming in through a dusty window of an abandoned warehouse when he turns on his NV, looking about as calm as can be for what he’s about to say. ]

Should have apologized weeks ago for what I did. Nobody should have been killed, I never wanted that to happen. Not here.

But how do you forgive part of who you are when you’re already condemned to hell. Absolution isn’t something i’m looking for anymore when there’s already nothing I can to do to stop the inevitable.

Saving the world doesn’t do anything when you’ve spent a few hundred years doing much worse. [ a beat, while he glances out towards the fading light. ] So what else is there?

I learned he lost a fiddle contest to a man named Johnny!

[Thats where his last conversation had led him]

Video

[slipperysoul]

[ .... fascinating. ]

Too bad for him.

Video

[that_is_asecret]

Yes, though it appears to have been a story told by a bard. Which doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have certain elements of truth, but they are notorious at exaggeration.

Video

[slipperysoul]

Maybe next time you shouldn't take a bard on his word. Wouldn't take Lucifer on his, either.

Video

[that_is_asecret]

Oh they both can be quite informative, its all a matter of understanding the individual behind the words.

Video

[slipperysoul]

Understanding can only get you so far.

[He folds his hands in his lap]

Oh of course! The rest of the way is figuring a course of action.

Thats true generally wouldn't you say?

Video

[slipperysoul]

Action always speaks louder than words. [ And yes, he already knows what you're getting at. ]

Video

[that_is_asecret]

So what action do you plan to take now?

[Who me? Just having a conversation thats all...]

Video

[slipperysoul]

Planning on calling a lawyer.

Video

[that_is_asecret]

Ah, the true dark power in most universes.

[slipperysoul]

Mine included, I used to work for a law firm back home.

Video

[that_is_asecret]

You certainly aren't helping your case much, are you?

Video

[slipperysoul]

Probably won't help it any more if I mention it was an evil law firm, huh. That's not why I was working for it, though.

Video

[that_is_asecret]

Well I suppose it depends how successful the firm was. After all, I don't think I've heard of any good law firms.

[He is mildly curious]

Keeping your enemies closer?

Video

[slipperysoul]

[ Correct, ding ding, you win the prize, Xellos. ]

Kept my enemies as close as I needed to. Now I just need to go back home so I can finish the fight.

Video

[that_is_asecret]

[Is it a boot to the head?]

There are a lot of people looking for something similar I imagine. In the meantime while you are stuck here, are you going to keep running or turn yourself in?

Video

[slipperysoul]

[ Maybe~ ]

I'm turning myself in only if i've got a lawyer on my side.

Video

[that_is_asecret]

Such is your perogative.

There has been a successful defense of Raphael Sorel, who to my knowledge is also a vampire. I'd look into him.

Video

[slipperysoul]

His lawyer Van Helsing?

Video

[that_is_asecret]

That would be the one!

Video

[slipperysoul]

Great, that'd be two votes for Van Helsing. I appreciate the recommendation.
