[ 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?

[ Thankfully he doesn't care that he doesn't know her either. So it all works out. ]

Would've preferred that I do it before the killing?

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

It would have been better if you hadn't killed at all.

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

Think you're teling me something I don't already know?

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

I would hope not.

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

I'm not even defending my actions, i'm explaining them. Why it happened, why it shouldn't happen again.

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

Mm. [ She shrugs. ]

What is your name?

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

Angel.

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

Angel, then. I am Sir Integra Hellsing. Would you care to share your story with me? Of what motivated you to kill, that is. If you can recall it.

[slipperysoul]

Lucifer couldn't take the time to pop in a good movie, so instead he took my soul. I'm not usually motivated to kill with one.

[integra_hellsing]

Lucifer? [ This has her attention more than anything, now. She leans in closer, the light catching the lenses of her glasses. ] He exists in this realm?

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

[ He nods, once. ] He exists. And he's stuck here like the rest of us.

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

I see. [ Finally, she leans back, crossing her left leg over her right and placing her hands upon her knee. ] How very disturbing, indeed.

[ Except she doesn't seem all that disturbed. ]

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

You look real concerned. [ That was sarcasm. ]

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

Mm. Tell me, how powerful is he?

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

He took my soul, I don't even know how -- how powerful do you think he is?

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

Perhaps you should learn to stay away from him.

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

I never went near him.

[ Video ]

[integra_hellsing]

So he just randomly chose you?

[ Video ]

[slipperysoul]

I have a past. He knew about me from a friend of mine.
