Maybe luceti down the road.

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?

So what's yer name, Four Eyes? [If it'd be any sort of consolation, at least it wasn't "Old Man."]

[consultmybooks]

[Thank heavens for small mercies.]

It's Giles. And are you allowed to tell me yours', or shall I start reciting facts again?

[serialhugger]

Facts. [Pft.] Anyone can recite facts.

It's Sel, Gilly.

[consultmybooks]

Giles. Rupert if you must. Or "Four Eyes".

Not Gilly. I don't even know how you decided on that.

[serialhugger]

Man, you guys get so hung up on names.

[consultmybooks]

Everyone has their own personal lines to draw.

I'll put up with a very great deal, but that is mine.

[serialhugger]

Umhm.

So. Rupie. How d'yaknow Master H anyway?

[consultmybooks]

[Rupie, which is at least something reasonably dignified like a unit of currency, or Gilly, which sounds like the name of an artist he knows.

...fine,, Esiel.]

We're friends, here in the village.

[serialhugger]

And yer lettin' him get maimed.

[consultmybooks]

I'm not going to be able to stop it, no.

...fine. Yes. I'm "letting" him get maimed. [He says the word with evident disgust.] Can we move on, thanks?

[serialhugger]

Dick move, doncha think?

[consultmybooks]

You have absolutely no idea.

[serialhugger]

So... why not?

[consultmybooks]

...because I'm going to be the one turned into a vampire and hurting him to begin with.

[serialhugger]

So if Munsie sends me over there, I can kick the shit out of you, right?

[consultmybooks]

If she sends you over there in time?

Kick away.

[serialhugger]

Yaysies.

[consultmybooks]

I hope you know that I'm not generally a bloodthirsty vampire, at least.

[serialhugger]

I know. Entirely human, though you've got a few crunchy bits here and there.

[consultmybooks]

Yes, I'm sure I do. But, coming from the world I come from, I'd be more alarmed if I didn't.

[serialhugger]

So who's the demon?

[consultmybooks]

Eyghon.

Properly known as Eyghon the Sleepwalker. We've met him, in your world.

[serialhugger]

Eyghon... Eyghon... don't think I've heard of that one.

[consultmybooks]

He's not a terribly social demon. And he's very, very old besides. As far back as Ancient Egypt.

[serialhugger]

Egypt. Most def before my time.
