Sweeney sighs and looks around at everyone. "Have you ever wanted revenge?" he asks. "If so, did you get it--and did getting it help?"

"Yeah I did... But cant kill him. Unfortunately, I kill him everyone would know it was me." She's of course talking about her uncle. She thinks he should pay for her hometown.

[barberdemon]

"Bloody shame, that."

[perfectedweapon]

"Oh I just know the waiting game. Wait until Red's gone, and use his death for my vengence." Evil smirk crosses her lips. "Will give me time to plot out exactly how to do it. Of course he'll be in pain for weeks, begging me to finish him."

[barberdemon]

"I like the way you think, girl. What's your name?"

[vicioussweetie]

"I think everyone's wanted revenge." Ali folds her hands on the top of her cane, watching Sweeney calmly. "But it doesn't make a person feel better. Not really. Not that there's much convincing someone bent on it, though, is there?"

[barberdemon]

"No, I suppose not." Sweeney laughs bitterly. "Ruined my life, or what was left of it."

[vicioussweetie]

"So it has, and now you're here. What now?"

[barberdemon]

"Haven't a clue."

[wakejumper]

WakeJumper nods, expression sad, "The Seekers who destroyed my hometown and killed my parents...For the second and third questions, no...it wouldn't be worth it in the end..."

[barberdemon]

"Wouldn't be, or . . . wasn't."

Guess when he realized what he was looking at.

[wakejumper]

"Wouldn't be. I don't even know which group it was that attacked...It'd be suicidal to try to go after them all..." WakeJumper seems to realize he's goofed up. "ah, sorry...hang on a second..." Cue transformation, and holoform activation. "Sorry about that..." Sheepish grin is a go.

"You were a big . . . metal thing. Like a train car."

[onemorebounty]

I'm working on it.

*That, from a tall, athletically-built woman in a skintight blue suit light-years away from the Victorian dress code.*

And it has its moments.

[barberdemon]

"Ruined my life, it did." He looks at her. "Tad . . . revealing, your outfit."

[onemorebounty]

Then you probably did it wrong. What happened?

*Sympathetic, isn't she? His latter remark leads her to glance down at herself.*

Hardly. I'm not showing an inch of skin below the neck.

[barberdemon]

"Well yes, but . . ." he sighs. "Never mind.

"I went completely insane, for one thing."

[barberdemon]

"You're lucky. Revenge ruined what little was still good in my life."

[barberdemon]

In response, Sweeney opens his collar. There is a fresh, ugly scar across his neck. It's not the sort of thing you generally survive.

"You had your life, didn't you?"
