[ There's a tiny half-smile curving the man's lips as the image of his face fills the communicator's screen. He's a relatively unremarkable looking man. Features a little sharp, maybe. Short hair dark blond and spiky. Not quite disheveled, but on its way to getting there.

He almost looks amused. ]

Hello, Cape Kore.

[ His voice is pleasant, neither too high nor too deep. He sounds friendly. ]

You'll have to excuse my brevity, but I'm very busy right now and I don't have time for the usual games.

[ His tone never changes, it remains light and subtly apologetic. ]

So if the one who summoned me here would come forward, I would appreciate it.

Comments

[villainized]

Something like that, yes.

[primogen_vampirate]

Pleasure to meet you. I would say "welcome" but that just seems vulgar.

[villainized]

I don't think it's too bad. A little dull, maybe, but that can be changed.

What is your name?

[primogen_vampirate]

Mina. Doctor Mina Barrett.

[And also "the Queen" but we're not going there tonight.]

[villainized]

Mina Barrett. Have you been here long?

[primogen_vampirate]

A bit over a month, sadly.

[villainized]

And these scientists I'm hearing about. Have you met them?

[primogen_vampirate]

No. Witnessed some of their handiwork. But they haven't had the pleasure just yet.

[villainized]

What handiwork is that?

[primogen_vampirate]

Kidnapped a couple of our neighbors. Doctor Banner and the late Mister Winchester.

No one knows what that was about.

[villainized]

Late? Was he killed in the abduction?

[primogen_vampirate]

No. Subsequently disappeared.

A friend of yours?

[villainized]

Well, it's a common surname. It would depend on what his first name happened to be.

[primogen_vampirate]

Sam.

[villainized]

Sam Winchester? Oh yes, he's one of mine. Practically family.

[primogen_vampirate]

[And now she knows who you are. Good thing vampires don't show up on video. Mina is smirking.]

Most interesting.

[villainized]

[ Fortunately for Lucifer, he has no intention of making his identity secret. ]

Is it? You must be bored.

[primogen_vampirate]

I am.

I believe I've made that rather clear.

[villainized]

Be careful what you wish for.

[primogen_vampirate]

I don't believe I've made a wish yet.

[villainized]

Perhaps you won't need to.

[primogen_vampirate]

Mmm...

Believe me when I say I've learned well enough the dangers of making deals with the devil.

[villainized]

Demons make deals. I don't.

[primogen_vampirate]

So what do you do?

[villainized]

Whatever I want.
