On the box, plans, and more.

[evilhandissues]

The fact that you're looking forward to making me live through all of the things that you have planned speaks volumes for some kind of deep seeded personal problem that you have.

The fact that you're so excited about it says something else too. Something that does not bear repeating in polite company.

I'm willing to overlook all of that however. If you give me the one thing I want.

Come on, you can't drag me out of hell without giving me a shot at that Eurotrash piece of shit. [His smile is wide and just a little unhinged] Especially after what I had to do to get it.

...They promised.

[capt_forehead]

I'm your barter chip out of the pit? Wow, way to make me all fuzzy inside Lindsey.

[evilhandissues]

They promised me.

[Lindsey looks away] It's my reward. For the things I made Eve do.

[capt_forehead]

I'm flattered to be the top prize.

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey smiles broadly]

Always. Ain't it just?

It'll be worth it. I'm going to make you squirm.

[capt_forehead]

Be careful with promises you can't keep.

[evilhandissues]

I bought my way out of hell. [with Eve's life.] They promised that I would have you all to myself.

[capt_forehead]

Gotta be honest. That sounds kind of dirty.

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey smiles] Maybe it'll get that way.

You don't know what I've lost. You don't know what I've had to give up.

It'll be fun. You and Lorne. What'd you do to get him to do it anyway?

[capt_forehead]

Gosh, now I'm looking forward to it.

No, I don't. [At the moment, he couldn't much care either.]

I made it the last favor I would ever ask him.

[evilhandissues]

...And he really cared about you.

[capt_forehead]

You weren't the only one that lost something.

[evilhandissues]

Lost something? Lost something?

[Who's dead and in hell. Lindsey laughs. It sounds unhinged and dangerous.]

You stupid fool. You have never understood how little I have compared to you do you?

[capt_forehead]

[Angel rolled his eyes.]

No, you've made sure to remind everyone at length about how bad you had it. Your daddy is an asshole and you want to do better. Congratulations, Lindsey, you're part of the human machine.

[evilhandissues]

Eve is here too.

[capt_forehead]

Is she now?

[evilhandissues]

Is that caring?

[Lindsey tilts his head] They told me what you did to her.

[Makes what he did to her worth it. In his mind. almost. Except not]

[capt_forehead]

[Angel keeps his face blank and wooden. He didn't have too much against Eve.]

Because you've always got the most reliable and trustworthy sources.

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey looks positively feral] Lorne or no Lorne.

[He smiles] Eve is gone. [He sounds unnaturally cold.] I thought you'd want to know that. She's here but not here. when LA got sent to hell - she's in a different level of hell.

[capt_forehead]

She knew where she was going. She knew what the Partners would do to her. Just like you did.

But it's always a shock when it comes around, isn't it.

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey frowns, stepping back.] They didn't do it to her! They had nothing to do with it!


I did!

[capt_forehead]

She signed her soul away Lindsey! And what does it matter now, huh? What are you going to do? Torture me for something I've got no control over? I didn't make her sign that contract, I didn't make her drag your ass from where ever she did the first time around, and I sure as hell didn't send her back to it."

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey just shoves at him] Just stop! You ruined it! You destroyed everything!

[capt_forehead]

[Angel shoves him back, rage sparking over his features.]

Stop blaming me for everything! You're a two bit redneck that's too stupid to get out of shit when you had your chance! Take responsibility instead of being a coward!

[evilhandissues]

I took responsibility!

And you know what? I'm responsible for being a bad guy. [He sounds angry, hurt and angry and psychotic.] That's all there is to it.

[capt_forehead]

Then what do you want with me so badly, Lindsey?!

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey's mouth opens and closes and - he shakes his head and looks away.]

To not feel like such a failure when compared with you.

[capt_forehead]

Hate to be crass, Linds, but I don't know how to help. I've got a higher body count... That's points for you right?

[evilhandissues]

[He wants to hit him in the face]

...I hate you.

[capt_forehead]

I don't know what you want from me.

[faiththatfuelsu]

You see that endin' well for you? Because I don't see that endin' well for you. I see that endin' with you gettin' your ass handed to you. Again.

[evilhandissues]

Things have changed. considerably

[faiththatfuelsu]

Doubt they changed that much. We are what we are, and he's golden boy for the powers that be. He's got that whole Champion thing going for him and you're what? Hell's bitch?

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey smiles.]

You were still willing to work for me. As I recall.

[faiththatfuelsu]

*Faith smiles right back, not nearly as unhinged as it had been then.*

Different time, different place, different girl.

[thedestroyer]

Eurotrash piece of shit? Really?

[evilhandissues]

It's the sad truth kid.

[thedestroyer]

Riiiiiight.

And I've been to hell dude. It's not where you've been.

[evilhandissues]

How do you know that? [Lindsey leans forward] be specific.


...There are a lot of different hells.
