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.

	[Why do you look so at home in Sam's library? Okay, it's not Sam's but he is there a lot. Just not actually at the moment.] You're probably not going to be getting your jewels back anytime soon. [What even?] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I suppose that's wise of them. [He's obviously unhappy about all this, though.] It's disorienting, suddenly loosing such an integral part of yourself so suddenly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The strange concern gets stranger?] What kind of jewels are we talking about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jewels allow members of the Blood to channel our power. The darker a person's Jewels, the stronger their power. I wear the Black, which is the most powerful. Having that suddenly vanish, it's very disorienting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-07-25 04:46 am UTC (link)
	I guess it would be. [Consider Sam interested and suspicious despite all the forthcoming.] What kind of power do you have and what happens if it isn't channeled? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm very old, and very powerful, puppy. There isn't much I can't do. I could certainly get everyone out of this place if that's what you're asking. [Cast a Black shield like a bubble just inside the dome, crack the glass like an egg and levitate to the surface. Its simple, but he somehow suspects their captors won't make it that easy, if they ever return his powers.] There are no real side effects to not having them, besides making me angry of course.

	[Tucking all that information away even as he has more questions popping up, but there is one more pressing thing.] Did you just call me puppy? [He might actually like "moose" better.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[An amused look.] In my experience one of the few benefits of old age is being able to have a few eccentricities that everyone is forced to humor you in. Do you have a name you would prefer I use? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's Sam Winchester. What's yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-08-11 07:55 am UTC (link)
	Saetan SaDiablo. It's very nice to meet you, Sam. [There's a gentleness in his tone, as if he's very used to the sorts of reactions that name gets from people.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-08-17 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Saetan SaDiablo? [It does not take a Stanford graduate or a hunter with extensive research experience or the guy who is prophesied to be Lucifer's human host to catch the familiarity of that name.] Is that your parent's idea of a joke or are you...Lucifer? [All the names.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A little wistfully.] It was a very common name once, you know.

[There's bit of obvious confusion at the name. He's used to people being frightened of him for who and what he is, not getting him confused with someone else.] I have a son named Lucivar, and while he does has a reputation of his own I rather doubt you could have the two of us mixed up. The wings make him rather distinctive, among other things.

	[Sam frowns at that. It doesn't make much of any sense compared to what he knows and he knows a lot considering he's met Lucifer and various other demons and angels.] Okay... Where are you from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Well, that part he was expecting if it weren't for the whole son bit.] Sam Winchester. [He'll just wait and see if there is any recognition, but he's already pretty sure he's not dealing with "his" satan.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-08-18 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	[There's no sign of recognition at the name. It's not one that has any meaning for him, so he just smiles pleasantly.] It's very nice to meet you, Sam. Am I correct in assuming I have a rather unpleasant reputation in your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-08-25 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	[This place will stop surprising him someday.] Trust me, it's a well-deserved reputation. [He knows from experience, not just hearsay.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-08-25 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	Apparently some things are universal, then. Although, I've always hoped its possible to be a good person and a monster but perhaps that's just an old man's wishful thinking. You seem quite familiar with my counterpart in your world. Any particular reason why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Let's just say we've met, and I didn't like what he had to say. [He's probably saying too much even now, but he can't help but feel like maybe he's just getting played. Maybe this guy knows everything and this is just part of the game. Still, this is Marina and weirder things have happened. Two satans.]

So you want to be a good person? [Do you hear the skepticism?]

I'd offer my apologies, but I don't think that really applies. [There's something almost approaching humor in his tone.]

In my experience that's what most people want, in one fashion or another. Whether they achieve it is a different matter all together. Lets just say I'm someone who has the potential to be very terrible indeed, and I would rather not be if I can help it. The version of me in your world has different intentions, I gather?

	The one I know has goals and it doesn't matter how many people suffer and die so he can achieve them. I don't think being a good person is really his end game. [Nor is he buying that it might be Saetan's.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehighlord 2013-08-25 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	Then that is where we differ. I care a great deal about the people who suffer because of my actions. I wouldn't be the High Lord of Hell if I didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-08-25 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	But they still suffer. [Only slightly a question.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rarely. Only when they truly deserve it and have no repentance for the horrors they've committed, and even then I don't like it. I can Execute demon-dead in Hell, but I suffer through it with them, and I don't like reliving the things they've done and feeling their enjoyment for them. The last one I Executed was a pedophile, and I could not bear to touch my daughter or hold her close for a long time afterwards. Its a job that needs doing, but it leaves its own scars on the soul.

[Sam frowns. He's not really sure what to say to that. It doesn't sound anything like the not-quite-mythology of his world. It doesn't sound like the person who has come to haunt his dreams. But that person is a liar and a manipulator and Sam has some deep issues when it comes to him and he has his own scars left from a job that needed doing.]

That's quite a story. Is this the part where I'm supposed to feel bad for you?
