[ 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?

If you actually think you're what i'm scared of, you really need to try harder.

[tinyvampiregod]

Heh. There are things far more fearsome than me. [Abraham.]

This isn't a threat.

[slipperysoul]

Right on both counts.

[tinyvampiregod]

If it really wasn't you, then why not turn yourself over? Plead your case, be judged by the community you terrorized. Let them in on your solution should this happen again, let them wash away blood in their absolution of you as a guilty party.

[slipperysoul]

I'm considering it.

[tinyvampiregod]

And the two weeks before this?

[slipperysoul]

[ He's so done with being judged by you Hellsing vampires. ] I took the advice not to turn myself in.

[tinyvampiregod]

[Vampire singular, Walter is human..ish, and he's not judging, not really. He just wants to play and this is the perfect reason. But now that he knows there's no fun to be had... ]Obviously.

Seras Victoria is competent. And I have been informed my Master has successfully defended a vampire in court here.

[slipperysoul]

Who exactly is your Master? [ And who said he wanted to be defended? ]

[tinyvampiregod]

Abraham van Helsing. [Want? No. Need? Maybe.]

[slipperysoul]

And he's here? [ Angel just can't decide if it's better for him to be kept behind bars long term or not. ] To think I used to run a law firm before I came here.

[tinyvampiregod]

He is. [Alucard can't give you actual advice on that considering he has no self control without Hellsing.] Businessman? Hoh. I thought you were a Hunter.

[slipperysoul]

[ Angel's got more self control than he knows what to do with. He did used to be Angelus after all, a transformation did take place. ] I'm both. Businessman's more of a front than anything else. Made it easier to go after the ringleader -- more useful than trying to take out the sideshow acts that just keep poppin' back up.

[tinyvampiregod]

That many opponents in your world? [He sounds envious. He is envious.]

[slipperysoul]

That many.

[tinyvampiregod]

Lucky.

[slipperysoul]

Not how I see it. [ Not that he'd know what to do with himself if he wasn't saving the world 24/7. Which is why he hates it here. ]

[tinyvampiregod]

Then lucky you are here. [Haha irony.]

[slipperysoul]

Right. [ Pretty much. ]
