I'm not following you.

What? Oh no. I just...this isn't, I just popped out to get a coffee and now, this.

[He gestures around himself.]

I'm lying on a street somewhere, aren't I? In a coma, or dying.

No, you're awake and alive and trapped in a holding dimension.

[ stated as plain fact. ]

Trapped in a holding dimension?

[That sounds decidedly scifi for a purgatorial construct in his own mind. Then again...]

Are you joshing me? Is this some kind of prank?

[He half expects Angela or Hodgins to leap out from behind the rattan furniture and cackle madly at him.]

Possibly, but I don't know who's playing it. They'd have to be a very powerful demon.

Demon?

[Have a perplexed look, then a slight concern that he may have found his way into a psych ward.]

Yes, they're real. So are vampires. There a few of them here.

There are? Where? I haven't met any myself, have you?

[He slips into professional mode without meaning to.]

[ blink. ]

Plenty. I used to kill them.

psychoanalyzes October 24 2010, 08:02:28 UTC
Which? The vampires or the demons? I presume you killed them in self-defence?

bunnyslayer October 24 2010, 08:04:14 UTC
Both. Witches and gods too.

That sounds like a lot of enemies you're having to deal with. Why do you think that is?

... Because humans are easy targets?

What I mean is, is there something about you in particular which attracts them?

Like I said, I've never encountered one myself and I don't know anyone who has. So, there has to be something about you which makes you special.

[He shrugs and moves to take a seat in the nearest patio chair.]

Of course there is! I'm excellent with money, I have vast experience with the occult, and I'm extremely flexible.

I---I'm sure that you are.

[Did she just say she was flexible? Why does she remind him of Daisy so much? That lack of a filter, maybe?

Concentrate on the other things she said, Lance.]

You look very capable with money. I'm afraid I'm not very versed in the occult.

My name is Lance, by the way. Doctor Lance Sweets.

[Clearly you find her attractive, or you would have called yourself by your actual given name...]
