Nothing says "innocent" like severed heads.

And dead, too. Very dead. Is that like a 'sleeping with the fishes' message?

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

We're not dealing with the mob, ma'am. Just your garden variety freaks.

[overthe-line.livejournal.com]

Freaks? If your freaks sent the heads, I doubt they are exactly 'garden variety' types. It appears though you will deal with the issue either way.

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

You'll have to excuse me, ma'am, but I doubt that you're in any position to make a judgment call. I deal with creeps like these everyday. Believe me, I've seen a whole lot worse.

[overthe-line.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you are right, I do not know enough to understand. What will you do now, with what has happened?

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

We go through the motions and tick all the boxes: Who, when, and why.

[overthe-line.livejournal.com]

Does that work to stop the killings?

[amelia-harrison.livejournal.com]

Whilst I like to give the benefit of the doubt where possible, I have to admit that I've stumbled across that particular brand of 'innocence' before.

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

The benefit of the doubt's the kinda thing that'll get you killed one day in this business.

[amelia-harrison.livejournal.com]

Well, only if you're capable of being killed...

But you're right, wanting to think the best of people is a dangerous flaw.

*eyes narrow - he's met plenty of immortals throughout his long and illustrious career as a smiter, hardly any of them could be considered good news* Then you'll forgive me if I'm inclined to think the worst of you.

[amelia-harrison.livejournal.com]

*She nods understandingly*

A fair enough reaction.

I can only assure you that I am not one of these...supernaturals you hunt. I just had an unfortunate accident of curiosity.

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

I bet you can assure me but that's not what I need. You'd be surprised how many freaks use that line and actually think they can get away with it.

[amelia-harrison.livejournal.com]

*Looks at him curiously*

How very distrustful you are. Although I suppose you have learnt that over time with good reason...

With all honesty, I can't prove to you that I'm human. I am not even be so - my physiology was clearly...damaged by contact with an artefact of some power.

But I'm no threat, perhaps I can prove that to you.

Are you having a party? They're nice for putting sweets in.

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

*eyes narrow* Not the kind you'd appreciate. We played pin the stake on the vampire.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

I like musical chairs better.

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

With somebody tied to them, no doubt.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Only if we're having a party.

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

Rupert?

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

It's already taken care of, Mina.

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

Decapitation, though? That's new and worrisome. What was it?

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

Zombie. Couped up for a little too long by the looks of things.

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

*squeezes her eyes shut in irritation*

There's been more of a rash of mad zombies lately...

[they-bite.livejournal.com]

It's the last straw, Mina. I'm taking Luke out of school. He can't sit at home doing homework when there're freaks out there who know something we don't.

[ooc: Sorry for disappearing earlier. Power cut. I've been sat in the dark for four hours! *headdesk*]
