I haven't used this thing in awhile, ne?

[A slight pause.]

Mm, Princeeeess~  You owe me a favor.  I took care of Evans for you.

[Another thoughtful pause, though this one is slightly more contemplative- he's counting days.]  Come to think of it, shouldn't he be back by now?

Hey hey hey, I gotta talk to you about

[azula_fbp]

What do you want?

[So much for thanks.]

[Audio]

[royal_ripper]

Well... nothing, right now. But there'll be something later, I promise you that.

How have you been, princess?

[Audio]

[azula_fbp]

Why don't you just tell me so I can get it over with?

Oh. Fantastic. Been fighting, plotting, fire bending.

[Audio]

[royal_ripper]

Well- see, that's the thing, princess, we're still hammering out the details. But... it'll be fun for you, okay? Trust me.

Sounds like fun. We should hang out more, hm? I miss having royal blood at my side.

[Audio]

[azula_fbp]

[Oh, she'll trust him as much as she would a water nation peasant.]

Who's this we you speak of?

That would be lovely. However, I wouldn't be able to entertain you properly at the moment, it would be a hazard.

[royal_ripper]

Just a friend. We're looking to pull a job, and we might need some firepower. You know, literally.

Oh? And why's that?

[Audio] [screened | | unhackable]

[azula_fbp]

Well you have the right person in mind. I'm glad.

Oh. See, I'm bleeding quite profusely. I thought I could handle it, but seems that it's got out of control. I was told this would happen, just didn't expect this much. No big deal. It doesn't hurt.

[Audio] [screened | | unhackable]

[royal_ripper]

Yes, well-

.........what?

[He tries to sound concerned, he really does, but- but royal fucking blood. Damnit, his heart was already starting to pound.]

The act was intentional. In the event that I change my mind, I could always take a hiatus for a few weeks and come back, problem solved. Still.. I wish I was better prepared. I'm beginning to run out of the necessary items to clean it up. [Someone sounds annoyed at this.]

I haven't seen so much of this shade of crimson since the last time you and I got into a bout.

[Shitshitshitshit-]

A- are you at home? I have a first aid kit, I can help clean you up, ne?

[Audio] [screened | | unhackable]

[azula_fbp]

You could..

[But Belphegor's thirst for blood was easier to read than a book. She had remembered their fight together vividly -- and more specifically, what part of the fight turned that smile of his into a wicked grin. It wasn't just the thrill of the fight itself, it was blood. The sight, the smell, hell knowing him even the taste probably sent the damned Prince straight into a psycho's euphoria. Now, if she had been kind, or naive even, it would be ideal for her to let him over. But.. it's whispered, probably giving her more joy than anything uttered verbally ever should have,]

Nah. I already owe you. There will be no need.

[What isn't recorded- before the mic is clicked on- is Belphegor throwing a book at his wall in frustration. Blood, blood, two fucking doors down. He could smell it- well, that was wishful thinking- and he needed it, Belphegor closed his eyes and giggled under his breath. She was bleeding royal blood, and he hadn't caused it- that alone proved her inadequacy, didn't it?

The mic finally clicks on- he's composed, as bored as ever.]

Naa, good. I'm not sure if I trust you up close like that right now anyway. How did you get cut, princess?

[Audio] [screened | | unhackable]

[azula_fbp]

[Recalling a conversation with Eve and Mello, Azula has a grasp on what the Prince was like once his own blood was drawn. Did he think all royalty was crazy like that? What am I, you?]

As I said, it was intentional. When the wound heals perhaps I'll show you why.

[royal_ripper]

...is something the matter? Hey- ne, you want me to kill someone else?

[Audio] [screened | | unhackable]

[azula_fbp]

I didn't let anyone hurt me. Nothing went wrong.

I thought you did it out of your own boredom? [A pause.]

..what's in this first aid kit of yours?

[Audio] [screened | | unhackable]

[royal_ripper]

You prompted me. It would have been some random stranger, if not him.

Hm? Oh- a bunch of stuff. Peroxide and bandages and alcohol, and- yeah.
