It's normally not my thing to tell people when they're making a mistake. Especially not cops and competition. [Takes a breath.]

There's a whole bunch of people coming on board. People don't come from nowhere. It's pretty clear that we've landed at a port and our friend the Admiral is yet to announce it.

So why aren't any of you taking advantage? Especially the new people? Don't you guys want out before we move on? Doesn't anyone want to tell the cops about this hellhole?

[Dramatic sigh.] Some of us aren't satisfied sitting around and waiting for a rescue.

Yeah, I doubt that.

Never heard of it. Let me guess. One of those serial killer workers that the media likes to panic over?

[bigbad]

Have you questioned yours at all since coming here? Considered that just maybe you might be wrong?

Actually, no. The media didn't notice a bloody thing either. Nor did most of the citizens. They were all like you.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, except that I'm not. I studied workers back home.

Right. Sounds like whoever was doing this neck damage thing had a pretty good cleanup crew going after them.

[bigbad]

You're not back home. And what's that got to do with anything anyway?

Not really. We generally just left the bodies lying around when we were through feeding.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Same rules apply all over the world, smart guy.

Oh, right. Your 'vampire' thing. You still running with that?

[bigbad]

Not when you start dealing with multiple dimensions. Or has no one managed to get that one through your thick head either?

My unbeating heart and the mug of pig's blood I drank this morning say yes.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

No one mentioned that. Looks like you're the most worked out of the lot. That's pretty sad.

I believe that one when I see it.

[bigbad]

It's pretty bloody obvious when your inmate is literally the Wicked Witch of the West and there are all sorts of aliens and demons and other such creatures. And when apparently there's a TV show about you in other worlds.

Fine. Want to have lunch with me?

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm still not buying it. And I haven't seen anyone from any TV shows that I've ever watched.

I don't know. Are you going to rip my neck open?

[bigbad]

Probably not. Be a bit hard to keep my good guy status if I went around ripping necks open.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

So you only do it occasionally? On weekends and holidays?

[bigbad]

Not ever, anymore. I'm reformed.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Reformed, right. So now you what, spend your time drinking beer instead?

[bigbad]

At times. I like beer. But like I said, I drink pig's blood now.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Sounds pretty monotonous to me.

[bigbad]

Yeah, humans tasted better. But that's the price of not being evil, I guess.

Sometimes I mix it with wheetabix or burba weed to add texture.

Or drizzle it over popcorn. That's fun.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, of course. Cannibalism is so last year.

[Blood popcorn. Barron is starting to like you.] You know what, you sound like you'd be good fun at a party.

[bigbad]

It's only cannibalism if they're your own species.

[Spike sounds amused.] Only if the right demon told me to be.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Vampires are still human. Human-ish?

Demons as well. Man, I would not want to visit this place where you come from even if it did exist.

[bigbad]

No. Not really. I'm more human than most, but there are still big differences.

It does exist, and no, you probably wouldn't.
