Gabriel - Video - 04 (Filtered away from Lucifer, if that's even possible)

[hung_garian]

Right. Newbie. Blond, tall, smirky, goes by Lucifer? Don't fucking piss him off, 'kay? Flat-out keep your distance if at all possible. Especially if you're human. You won't just be putting your ass on the line, it'll be everyone's too. He won't massacre you all if you don't cross him, and trust me, he'd like to. It's an offer you won't get twice, and if I have to personally take out anyone who tries anything on with him, I will. Just a heads up, gang.

[He's not sure that he isn't blowing his cover in doing this, but right now that's a secondary concern. Primary concern is whether people will actually listen to him, especially given who he is. He's hoping so - this arrangement is fragile enough that one impulsive hero type could ruin it, and there's altogether too many of those in this place.]

Neither. If you're looking for a dealer, I wouldn't bother. Reckon you've had enough drugs already, and I really wouldn't trust you with firearms.

[ Jesse's breath sucks in sharply. ]

Yeah. Alright. But he's the asshole.

[hung_garian]

I'm probably more of an asshole than he is. I'm just also less fond of mass murder. I'm more of a serial kind of guy, y'know?

[Sounds like a joke, but in his time Gabriel might even have killed more humans than Lucifer has. Woops. Look, he never said he was the good guy here.]

[magnets]

[ Less funny to Jesse; his shoulders are drawing in a little tensely. ] How about nobody murder anybody, alright? It ain't hard.

[hung_garian]

Hey, I hear you. That's what I'm trying to avoid here.

[magnets]

So ya just call a truce, huh? Nobody kills nobody 'til you're back at your own turf. Ain't even like there's any guns here, [ not really, ] for you t'get your hands on.

[hung_garian]

We don't need guns. But yeah, we have a truce. It's currently conditional on the humans not driving him up the friggin' wall, which is what I'm trying to accomplish. With limited success, apparently.

[magnets]

So, what? Lou makes a couple friends, he doesn't call a fuckin' gang war straight into town?

[hung_garian]

I don't think he's looking to make friends, but yeah, something along those lines.

[magnets]

Who isn't lookin' for friends? [ challenge accepted. ] Besides, how else we s'posed to keep shit calm 'round here?

[hung_garian]

Look, you wanna try making friends with him, be my guest. Just try not to make him angry, okay? You really wouldn't like him when he's angry.

[magnets]

And here I was all ready ta greet him by punchin' him in the face.

[hung_garian]

Yeah, yeah. Funny.
