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.

[ she had authority, or she used to. But she summons every ounce of bearing that she had with grace, poise, and habit as she answered the feed. ]

I'm afraid you're out of luck, sir. Our wardens don't... exactly have a face to speak to. However, I'm sure you can find a more private venue to airing your distaste if you take it to the Kiosk in Sector 0. It's hardly difficult to miss seeing as it is in the middle of the dome.

	Then there is at least some way of contacting them. Thank you, my dear. Although I must admit I dislike the idea of machines being given this much power. If you're going to condemn someone to a place like this you have the responsibility to do it yourself, not pawn it off on some mechanical creation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've been informed they are quite independent. Apparently they are... [ she paused, trying to remember the right phrase from the many she had been forced to learn since her arrival. It takes but a moment though and then her lips turn up in a smile. ] Ah, yes, I believe they are an artificial intelligence capable of making their own decisions separate from those who have apparently created them.

	[He clearly disapproves of all this.] What a repulsive idea. I had little enough respect for our captors as it was. I'm sorry, my dear, I haven't asked your name. How rude of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've just been transported to an underwater prison. I do believe a few of the formalities can be forgiven. [ her smile widened a little ] And it's Peggy Carter, for the record. May I ask for your name in return? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A smile.] I suppose that does make for a good excuse. Saetan SaDiablo. It's very lovely to meet you, my dear. [He's very used to getting a reaction to the name, of course, but he stopped caring a long, long time ago.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ her eyes widened in surprise and her smile broke form as her jaw dropped slightly. Only politeness kept her tone civil. ] I...see. Well, Mr. SaDiablo, I do hope that's your parents sense of humor and not yours. [ either way, however, that is an ill-omened name. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He smiles a little wistfully.] It was a very common name, you know, before I came along. But I'm afraid there's no joke in it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ and that does nothing to assuage her assumptions ] And I am to assume you brought it to new heights of notoriety? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-07-24 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I must have, if you've heard of me even in your world. Tell me, what do they say about me where you come from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she hesitated and then simply shook her head. ] I'm afraid those are words best ill-suited to decent company. You have an ill-omened name, sir. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A kind smile.] I'm the High Lord of Hell, my dear. I very much doubt there's anything you can say about me I haven't heard before in much more vulgar term. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ her entire being stiffened and she forced herself to look the devil in the eye in order to better to remember his face. ][ and certainly not the Lord of Hell. And without another word, she simply hangs up the line, feeling cold sweat cover her palms. She may have seen the depth that mankind can sink to, but not even she wanted to face down Hitler and all his men a second time. There would be no world left to mourn. ]

[He does not try to protest or get a last word in as she hang up, just manages a final one of those soft, kind smiles. The yellow eyes she's staring into tell a different story, though. For a moment he looks as unimaginably ancient and sad and lonely as he is behind all those manners and endearments. He's lost so many people he loves because of what he is that he doesn't fight the abrupt assumptions and judgements anymore because beneath it all he's so very, very tired. He suspects existing in this place is going to be rather lonely.]

	[ And if Peggy is at all troubled by that deep, unfathomable look in his eyes, she won't show it either. There can be no sympathy for the devil ~~even if the mun already is~~, at least not before answering for the crimes she's seen committed. But, then again, perhaps that's exactly why he's here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
