[30] - [Voice]

Under my warden's command, I may not see who replies to me but only see and hear the words with which they reply, not the journals connected to these words. [Pause.] I am not concerned by this. I fear that I have always been able to identify dark creatures and the like through their words alone.

What if we say our names?

[failedcreator]

I shall know then, of course. Unless it is lies you are speaking. My warden would correct you, no doubt. [Maybe.]

[breakmychest]

So none of those black censor boxes or anything. Good to know. And what, you think you'll be able to guess who's a monster based on what they say?

[failedcreator]

I do. As I know that you are not a creature from your usage of that term.

[breakmychest]

Clever bloke. How do you know I'm not filled with self-loathing or particularly proud of my evil-doing?

[failedcreator]

True monsters never refer to themselves as such. It is not their way.

[breakmychest]

Guess you know a lot about these things, don't you? What would a true monster call itself?

[failedcreator]

It would call itself a man, of course. In order to deceive me.

[breakmychest]

Though you'll note I didn't call myself a man or a monster.

[failedcreator]

You are a man. A monster does not refer to other monsters as monsters. It is so.

[breakmychest]

Fair enough. [Albeit completely wrong.] So. Managed to identify any of the real monsters so far?

[failedcreator]

I have not. Suffice to say, they have not felt the need to appear for this post.

[breakmychest]

Must be terrified by your deductive abilities. Wouldn't want to be called out for the evil things they are, you know?

[Spike sucks at not being sarcastic sometimes.]

[failedcreator]

This is quite true. [Sarcasm, flying over Victor's head.] I find that many of them are quite cowardly at heart.

[breakmychest]

[Which is why Spike does it.] Yeah. Guess it's lucky so many of them have superpowers, then. For them, I mean.

[failedcreator]

Yes. I have on occasion pondered as to whether this is some cosmic compensation for their lack of humanity.
