010 | Private Audio to assorted residents | Day 117

[tryingitall]

[Things suddenly got complicated. Crowley is a manageable annoyance, as far as Balthazar is concerned. He's been here before. Michael, though...

Honestly, he'd rather have Lucifer back, and he feels just a bit guilty for it.

The net result is that he's on edge and worrying what this means for certain friends and acquaintances around town.]

Private to Donna

I'd like to visit as soon as possible, if I may. Some of the new arrivals are...look, let me come and set up some warding for you, please, love?

to Ellen

Do you know how to angel-proof? Might want to consider it. We've got a volatile situation.

to Raphael

Have you met the boy with Dean's face? Alec. How close to Dean's genetic makeup is he, do you suppose, and what, if anything, ought we to do about cutting off potential trouble there before it starts? [Because he can't see Alec being anything but obnoxious toward Michael, and probably rather incautious, as well.]

to Castiel

[A brief, simple audio:] Cassi? Do me a favor and don't do anything foolish.

to Mina and Fortescue

Hello! I've been distracted by our new arrivals. If you're not worried, you should be. But I've promised to introduce you to one another. Would you be available to meet at the library after dusk? I can explain more then.

Comments

[tryingitall]

[Thank you, Mina, for making him laugh.] Partly it was indiscretion on my own part, as well, but you're right. Cas is a thorn in the sides of angels, humans, and demons alike.

[primogen_vampirate]

I'm beginning to see that.

I've also never met a non-human as ill-adjusted.

[tryingitall]

[He sobers, thinking this over.] We're all rather ill-adjusted, I'm afraid. Some of us just hide it better than others.

He's my favorite, you know. Always has been. But he's a mixed bag of issues, like all of my kin.

[primogen_vampirate]

I can sympathize.

The Kindred aren't exactly known for their table manners.

[tryingitall]

In some ways, we're a pack of lost children who had to raise ourselves. Combine that with immortality and phenomenal cosmic power, as they say, and what you end up with is not always friendly.

I'm delightful though, obviously. [He takes a breath. Warning delivered, at least, and she clearly understands his meaning.]

So. If you still want to meet with Fortescue...? I may not be available as much if my brothers decide to put me to work. [Or worse.]

[primogen_vampirate]

Yes, of course.

[She pauses. Somehow, she's gone from loathing this man to actually giving a damn. Kore is such a strange place sometimes.]

If you needed help...

[tryingitall]

[Perhaps it helps that he's developed a genuine respect for her in return?]

That's kind of you, but it's more or less family business. It wouldn't be fair to get you involved. If trouble does occur, your medical expertise may well be needed.

[primogen_vampirate]

I certainly hope not.

[tryingitall]

Believe me, so do I.

Well. I'll plan on meeting at the library around eight-ish tonight. We'll see what we can accomplish with a sorceress to show us the ropes, shall we?


((Link, whenever you're ready.))

[primogen_vampirate]

I'll see you there, darling.
