Maybe luceti down the road.

[serialhugger]

Come on, Munsie! All you gotta do is sit down, get your fingers on that keyboard, and write! Doing that now, aren'tcha? Don't give me all that fuss 'bout not knowing where yer going, you just gotta shut up and let me talk then you listen, yeah?

So tell me 'bout this place. Wings? Cool, cool. Wings are nice. Friendly people too, that's cool. Kidnappings and experiments? Whatever. Kinda blows Nessy isn't there. Someone's gotta get her head outta them books. Fresh air could be good for her, ya know?

Oh hey, Master H is there? That's cool! Someone's gotta keep an eye on him right? Besides Dragonass.

[...

...]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S GONNA GET MAIMED?

Right, Munsie, you're sending me there now so I can tear that sonuvabitch responsible to pieces. Got it?

[consultmybooks]

[...oh, good sweet lord, this could be horrible.

Not that it shouldn't be. The thought of someone being able to tear him, the sonuvabitch, responsible to pieces, is almost comforting.]

It, um, w-won't be the first time, I'm afraid.

[serialhugger]

What, that some asshole hurt Master H?

[consultmybooks]

Precisely. This would, um, probably make it an even half dozen, actually.

[He doesn't look any happier about it than you do, Esiel.]

...he'll recover. He, um, he always does.

[serialhugger]

Well sonuvabitch. Who'd wanna do that to him?

[consultmybooks]

An admirable lack of people, actually. Helios has, um, a great many friends here.

Still. Experiments happen. Drafts happen.

[serialhugger]

No shit. What's not to like about him?

Man. You guys always find ways to screw with things.

[consultmybooks]

[This gets a raised eyebrow and a step back. Just in case.]

By "you", who would you be referring to?

[serialhugger]

Humans?

[consultmybooks]

...unless Helios has been far less forthcoming than I thought, isn't he a human as well?

...besides, it won't be a human that does this.

[serialhugger]

Yeah, but Master H is pretty boss.

Oh yeah? Whatd we talkin' about?

[consultmybooks]

Vampire.

Not the sort that either of you would be used to dealing with, I'm afraid.

[serialhugger]

Oh, vampire. [A snort and a roll of her eyes.]

I ain't say anythin' bad about them since somma of my friends are vampires, yeah? But stake and bake. What's hard about that?

[consultmybooks]

Stake, bake, decapitate. Only way to be certain.

That depends. What sort of powers do you have in turn? If you're a student at Helios' school, I assume you have something at your disposal.

[dickishly]

Oh look who's joining the party. So, why aren't you gonna be helping him out? [ This is Ra giving you a critical look, Giles. Also a hungry look too. Because he has his hunches. We'll just say musebox and meme things are canon for the moment. ]

[consultmybooks]

[...Ra. Giles might not know you yet, but the musebox and meme things are canon and they've had some talks so far.]

I'm not going to be able to help him out. Much as I wish that I could.

[dickishly]

[ But he knows you Giles. Knows you quite well. ]

And why not? [ Just a slight sneer. ] You're supposed to be all buddy buddy aren't you?

[consultmybooks]

[Yes, yes he does. Giles doesn't like gods as a general rule of thumb, but Ra is very low in his regards even considering that. His fists clench at this jab.]

Yes, we are.

S-Sometimes circumstances interfere with that.

...I would s-stop this, if I could.

[dickishly]

More of a reminder on why you humans are so weak. If I was able to be there I would tear whoever was going to do this to pieces before they had the chance. He wouldn't like it, but it'd be for his own good. I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

[ He does not sound amused, at all, mainly because he's stuck on the sidelines and it's fucking pissing him off. ]

[consultmybooks]

All very brave words.

Why did it take you so long to put them into practice the last time he was being brutally tortured.

[dickishly]

You think I didn't try? Masking his location with their magic the fucking cowards they are. It takes a bit longer than usual to break a spell of that kind. [ He doesn't mention that he's not as stronger as he used to be, nope. ]

I would tear that damn council apart if it would do any good. Helios doesn't believe it will, and he's too damn nice for his own good. [ Just a growl. ]

[consultmybooks]

Yes, he is.

...and it's worse when it's me. You've seen that.

[dickishly]

Tch. Damn it. [ He might come to a sudden realization then. ]

So it's you then? [ Goddamn it this sucks so much. ]

Wouldn't stop me from killing you. [ The other vampire!Giles knows that pretty well. ]

[consultmybooks]

It's me, yes. Almost exactly what happened last time, only worse.

...but you aren't going to be there, so it's a bit of a moot point, isn't it?

[dickishly]

Could kill you now, to make myself feel better. [ Is that a toothy grin? Yes, yes it is. And is that a flash of an extremely sharp claw? You bet! ]

Wouldn't really make him feel better though, would it? You better not let him out of you fucking sight afterwards. And I don't give a shit how it's going to make you feel. [ SO TACTFUL RA! ] You know how he gets, says he's fine but he really won't be.

[ Just a grumble. Normally it'd be him picking up the pieces. ]

[consultmybooks]

You make it sound as though it's going to be easy to keep him in sight. From all I've heard, it's going to be just the opposite.
