014 ~ [Dictated]

So, it looks as though I missed my Birthday through the castle turning me into a Whitelighter.

Not that it matters. Another year to add onto countless more.

Whoever sent me the cupcake... Thanks. That was kind.

Kind of like a motorcycle, but with four wheels. Built for a driver and a gunner - you know, so I don't have to walk everywhere. Kind of nice for getting away from the castle now and then.

[demontobeloved]

If you ever want to get away a bit quicker, I could always shimmer us somewhere.

[encryptedlock]

Part of it's just the drive, though. I'm pretty sure we still have teleporters out to the very edge of the Dead Zone, but sometimes it's just nice to watch the scenery go by. You know?

[demontobeloved]

... You have a fair point.

I haven't driven in ages. Guess I've been missing out.

[encryptedlock]

Might be worth a try some time, then. Especially if you get bored.

[demontobeloved]

Bored? Here? Don't be stupid. [Sarcasm, there.]

[encryptedlock]

I know, right? How could anyone get bored in a place with nearly limitless information, populated by people from dozens of different worlds?

[Every day, of course. People never complained about being bored like this when he was in the Army.]

[demontobeloved]

This place took me from vanquishing a scavenger demon. Guess which one I'd rather be doing.

[encryptedlock]

[York just laughs.]

Hey, I don't have to guess when you make the answer obvious like that.

[demontobeloved]

...It's strange, having so much free time.

I almost miss it.

[encryptedlock]

Could always get a job in town or something.

[demontobeloved]

Know if they're looking to hire an upper-level demon?

Strangely, I don't think many people'd be impressed with my resumé.

[encryptedlock]

You know, I couldn't say. But you never know.

[He chuckles a little.] But if they're not hiring, I suppose there's always the library. Might find something interesting to make.

[demontobeloved]

Well, if you come across a job that requires a demon prosecutor, let me know.

[encryptedlock]

You got it.

[demontobeloved]

Thanks.

[There's a sutble change in Cole's voice.]
