First Omen ♛ [Action // Voice]

[histruename]

[The last thing Hellboy remembers is getting threatened by a bunch of lion gods in Africa. "Never dare set foot or hoof here again," they said. "We will not bear it." The next thing he knows, he's plummeting from fifty feet up through the tree canopy, landing on the forest floor with an earth-shaking Thump! Guess those guys don't mess around.]Jeez

[voice]<--look, a label

The hell might be exactly what is going on, actually, m'lad. [Trolling New Feathers? Amuses Jack.]

[voice] omg no wai

[histruename]

[Deadpan:] Wow, you're funny.

[Yeah, he's gonna ignore you for the helpful girl in the thread below.]

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

Mmhmm. Enjoy your stay with us, mate.

[voice]

[histruename]

From what I'm hearing, I don't plan on sticking around.

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

Ah. Well if you do find the way out, lad, make sure you share with the rest of us, eh? Fair enough? I've been here over a year, now, and there's none better at escape than I.

[voice]

[histruename]

Sure.

[Leaving innocent people behind isn't his style.]

You got a story, pal?

[That could be helpful. Or not at all, but it's worth a shot. Could at least help him get a feel of what he's dealing with here - Why he came here, why people are trapped, and how he's gonna get them out. There's no question in his mind that it will happen, one way or another. It's just a matter of how and when.]

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

Pirate.

[That's his story, and he's sticking to it.]

You?

[voice]

[histruename]

[Oh, he's dealt with pirates before. Usually dead pirates, but details.]

U.S. Government. B.P.R.D.

[He'll leave out the whole quitting thing. It's still a fresh wound, and you really can't take something like that out of a person. Like it or not, the Bureau is his life, no matter how much distance he puts between them.]

So how does a pirate get caught up with mad scientists?

[With everything he's seen, that's a surprisingly new combination.]

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

In the usual way, of course. "BPRD"?

[voice]

[histruename]

Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense.

[The words "Ex agent" echo in the back of his head, and he winces internally.]

Could say I've seen a lot of this kind of crap.

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

Oi! "Paranormal"? What's that, then? Why not just Research Normal? It's far more disturbing.

[voice]

[histruename]

Because that's what we do.

[Did.]

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

.......Oh.

You're a very sensible sort of chap, aren't you, Mister...?

[voice]

[histruename]

Hellboy.

[And his picture is next to sensible in the dictionary. At least until you piss him off. Or, you know, get him drunk.]

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

Hellboy...Hellboy.......Of the Edinburgh Hellboys?

[voice]

[histruename]

[What the hell are you talking about?]

I don't think so.
