They're taking too long. Hmm... the Warden already knows, of course he does. And he "helped" bring me in last time. Who. Will. He. Pick.

I've always wondered how people think to hunt the hunter.

It's like playing against the person who created the game.

To go in to the City... no. I have the advantage out here. I'll go there if I want to

Hunting the hunter is the greatest challenge and pleasure.

[therippling]

You make it sound so much more romantic than it is.

[dark_butler]

Who says it's romantic? Hunting a hunter has so much more interest than hunting those who are nothing but prey.

[therippling]

The greatest challenge and pleasure sounds romantic to me.

[dark_butler]

I should remember to keep your unusual perspective in mind. Regardless, I would rather hunt a hunter for my own pleasure.

[therippling]

Still makes me right. Hunting the hunter... always more risky.

[dark_butler]

Who is hunting you now, Ophelia?

[therippling]

Police.

[dark_butler]

Who did you kill?

[therippling]

Anita Blake.

Does it make sense now?

[dark_butler]

Recently? I thought you killed her months ago.

[therippling]

She went around asking for it. I give it to her, and she cries to the police.

How droll, don't you think?

[dark_butler]

Is that even a challenge?

[therippling]

No, it wasn't. She cried and whined about how cowardly I was, but point is she was so damned stupid she couldn't even sense me.

Mainly, it was to shut her up. I should have known better.

[dark_butler]

You should have. Really, Ophelia. If nothing else, have you not learned that all you get is 24 hours of peace if that?

[therippling]

I like to think it teaches people not to mess with me.

It seems some are just that stupid. Like kicked puppies coming back yelping.
