Day 228 l Video l Open
[The old man on the screen looks dangerously calm for having just arrived in an undersea prison. Saetan has taken the time to find an elegant, old fashioned looking suit before switching on his communicator. Not only that but he has actually arranged himself in the library, and looks as at home and in control of the situation as if he were in his study. He does not look like a frightened new prisoner, which is entirely the point. He's not someone who is used to being powerless and being held captive is not about to make him change his attitude. When he does speak his voice is like thin ice, dark and cold with something deadly lurking underneath.]

I’d like to speak to someone in authority, immediately. I heard your clever little announcement, and you obviously know who I am. Prisoner or not you should respect me enough to speak to me face to face. I’m going to find where you’ve taken my Jewels eventually, and it would be in your best interest to resolve all of this before I do.

	Saetan SaDiablo, High Lord of Hell. Charmed to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure. [ Although this is interesting. ] High Lord of Hell, huh. What does a bloke have to do to get a gig like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm very powerful, puppy. I walked in while I was still alive and gave myself the job. It's a grim place, and it needed someone to bring some sort of order to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Laughing. ] That does sound like my kind of job interview... actually, I've done that myself a few times. It's highly effective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is a great deal to be said for the power of reputation at times, I will admit. In any case that was a very, very long time ago. I've done what I can for it since then, but it's a hard place for anyone to exist in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Never actually been to hell... not yet anyway. Does it live up to the stories or is that all hype? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-07-24 12:56 am UTC (link)
	Really? How is that? No offense, boyo, but anyone can see you're dead. [Well maybe not anyone, just someone who has spent so many thousands of years in Hell to notice when someone doesn't have a pulse.] And as for your question, I suppose that depends entirely on what sort of stories you've heard.

	Oh, you know... the good old classics. Fire and brimstone. 'Course, sometimes it seems to be all tentacles. [ Second-hand experience, at least. ] And I might be dead, but I'm not in the grave yet. Not in a permanent capacity, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-07-24 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	[Amused.] Nothing that dramatic, at least not in most parts. It's a twilight realm, to be sure. But I don't go around dealing out random punishment unless you've done a great deal to deserve it. I like being able to look my children in the eye at night. Most demon-dead I've met are uncomfortable around the living. What makes you such an exception? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You haven't met the right demon dead then, have you? Humans are great. Walking Happy Meals on legs, ripe for the picking. It'd be a dull old world without them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Perhaps this is a difference between our worlds. Where I come from when you die, you either fade away to darkness entirely, linger a bit as a ghost or, if you're strong willed enough, become demon-dead in Hell. Only Guardians like me would feel any real need to sustain themselves on human blood, but it's not a particularly pleasant occurrence. Occasionally people leave offerings of it at the dark alters but otherwise it's not particularly important. Am I to understand this is something you enjoy? [Spoken with clear disapproval.]</font?

	'Course it is. One of the best parts of being a vampire, really. [ No shame whatsoever. He's proud of what he is, okay? ] Sounds like your world pulled the short straw. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He's only known you five minutes, but he still manages to sound like the disappointed father figure you never had. Like you didn't eat your vegetables or something.] Am I to understand you've been lucky enough to have a second chance after death and have avoided hell and this is how you choose to spend it? Now, I'll admit I'd never heard of vampires before arriving here so perhaps I have my facts wrong but it sounds a great deal like being a Guardian, and I have a rather difficult time believing anyone would choose not to live up to the responsibility that goes along with such a role.

[ Oh no, he had one of those. Kind of. Grandsires and all that and really, he wasn't asking for yet another substitute Angel thank you very much. ]

Don't go makin' assumptions, mate. This is what vampires are... sure, I may be better than most, but there's only really one vampire who doesn't follow the diet. Needless to say he doesn't exactly belong to the in-crowd.

	And this sits well with your conscious, does it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-07-26 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	That would require me havin' one. [ Such a self-satisfied smirk. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Please elaborate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Annoyed mock-sigh. ] Alright, here's how it works: boy meets vampire. Vampire bites boy. Boy dies. The soul flies out into the great blue yonder, demon moves in, bing-baraboom, here I am. Got that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He does not seem insulted by the tone. On the contrary, you can almost see his heart breaking over the story.] I'm so sorry, puppy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-07-28 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	[ The driest, most disbelieving look you can possibly imagine, followed by a burst of laughter. ] Sorry? That was the best thing to ever happen to me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He smiles very sadly. Death, and the importance of keeping your soul and sense of self intact are all rather areas of expertise for him, and he never likes seeing someone else tear themselves apart.] You sound like my son. And like someone who isn't going to listen to some well meant advice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-07-28 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	[ He bristles ever so slightly at the comparison — he's no one's son anymore — but keeps it mostly under wraps in favor for punked up bravado. ] Why don't you try me..? What is this well meant advice you're so willin' to give out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Give some of the horrors Daemon had committed during his life it was probably not a particularly flattering comparison to make to anyone. Also he's taking that as permission to hand out advice any time and on any subject now, not that he particularly needs an excuse.]

Just that there is a difference between having done monstrous things and being a monster. I don't just look at actions when I judge the dead in Hell.

	[ It's a shame that he prides himself on being a monster, then. Of course, even Spike has a line he wouldn't cross even if he doesn't admit to it. ] And where would you draw that line? What makes a man into a monster? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-07-28 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Intention and circumstances, in my opinion. People often do horrible things because they have no control over the situation they are in. Its one of life's great tragedies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
