Okay, so. [ PERKIEST FACE but also very determined in her perkiness. ]

Here's the deal. I need to talk to somebody who's good with souls. As in, knows all about souls, and dealing with them, and figuring them out. Also figuring out their placement. Sooner is definitely better. I'll - I dunno, pay you in bodyguarding, or figure something else out.

Did I mention sooner?

PRIVATE; UNHACKABLE; TO ANGEL.

Whatcha think about a Slay-date? With the monster fighting in tandem and all that romantic gooey stuff.

He lost his soul and went around killing people. Word travels fast.

Lucifer is the one who took it, by the way.

I'd avoid letting him touch it again.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[ex_stakes70]

It's happened before. And I know. Angel told me everything. I don't plan on letting Lucifer touch anything. Possibly ever again.

[ LONG AWKWARD PAUSE. ] So... Who're you?

Crowley.

[He relaxes, slightly, after being told that. An enemy of Lucifer's is a not quite enemy of his and all that jazz.]

I work with souls.

Why, exactly, can Angel lose his in the first place?

[ex_stakes70]

Uh - ... Well, he's a vampire. And vampires don't have souls. But this one time he -- when he was Angelus? The evil demony version of him, that's who Angelus is, by the way -- Anyway, he killed a gypsy girl. She was her village's favorite, so they cursed him with a soul. And up until Lucifer, only a moment of true happiness could make it go away.

[Hm.]

There are various sigils that can lock a soul inside a host -- a body.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[ex_stakes70]

Sigils. Like magic? We've already used magic, it doesn't stick... Well, not this kind. Do you think it'd work on um -- on a vampire?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

It's a powerful type of magic. It keeps souls within bodies in my world all the time.

Besides, it couldn't hurt to try.
