Gabriel - Video - 02

[hung_garian]

You can all quit freaking out over The Box now. After painstaking investigation, I can reveal that it contains - a cat. It's simultaneously alive and dead. Hence all the funny scratches - if you ever tried getting your feline friend into a carrier, you'll know what I mean. Claws are not fun, kids, no matter what Whitesnake say. And that goes double for the undead kitty kind. Unhygienic on top of painful, double ouch.

[Needless to say, Gabriel is bored. Also needless to say (hopefully), none of that was true.]

So since that's all sorted out, who likes the idea of celebratory drinks? Sure, we might not technically have a bar, but where there's life there's booze, as my dear old gran used to say. Well, before she got packed off to rehab, anyway.

[He grimaces, despite not even having a grandmother.]

Anyway. Takers? Ladies, don't be shy. Doctor Barrett, that means you too, awful drinking habits notwithstanding.

Exactly. And if it's in the interests of doing everyone some good, it makes me an altruistic public-spirited individual, instead of just an alcoholic.

[primogen_vampirate]

You're a true giver.

[hung_garian]

Well, my crippling modesty prevents me from agreeing with you outright, but I do so hate to argue.

[primogen_vampirate]

You'd only lose.

[hung_garian]

Perhaps. Out of courtesy.

[primogen_vampirate]

Oh, no, dear. I'm just that good.

[hung_garian]

I don't doubt you're good, but honey, I'm a very experienced cheat. Did you not read your Gylfaginning?

[primogen_vampirate]

It's been awhile. And I've been busy.

[hung_garian]

Let's put it this way, you don't want me reminding you.

[primogen_vampirate]

Should I take your word for that? You are a known liar.

[hung_garian]

I'm known for a lot of things. Some of which do perhaps include poor decision-making skills. If you don't remember, I'm not telling.

[primogen_vampirate]

A poor decision? I'm crushed.

[hung_garian]

It wasn't a decision involving you, unless there's something huge you aren't telling me.

[primogen_vampirate]

Only that I'm egocentric.

So where is this party of yours going to be?

[hung_garian]

[He shrugs.]

Everyone here's a killjoy. Looks like I'm partying on my own.

[primogen_vampirate]

Two is company.

[hung_garian]

Make that everyone except you. You're a star, sweetheart.

[primogen_vampirate]

Was I mistakenly being sweet again?

[hung_garian]

I'd go with 'accidentally'.

[primogen_vampirate]

I do need to be more careful about that.

[hung_garian]

Don't sweat it. We can't all be as perfect as me.

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, who doesn't want to aspire to such greatness?

[hung_garian]

No one in their right mind, that's for sure.

[primogen_vampirate]

I couldn't agree more.

[hung_garian]

All this agreeing you're doing's making me suspicious.
