015 ~ [Action/Dictated]

[demontobeloved]

[Cole is sitting in the lobby, fingering a double-sided knife, frowning.]

---

Guess what the castle gave me for my birthday.

---

You were right.

---

Dominus vobiscum, you two. Settling in well enough? I assume you've received a crash course in journal mechanics?

---

[His filters thrown down, Cole leans back in his chair.]

Is there some sort of register I need to sign to say that I have a dangerous weapon?

Comments

[shepherdsveritas]

[There's a sigh. Fuck filters, man, he just dictates back]

Aye. And I can't help but think how fuckin' retarded it is t'hear a demon t'say that.

Cole

[kungfuwitch]

Hmm? What did you get?

[demontobeloved]

Well, Latin is a core part of being a demon. It's a language of power, after all.

You settling in okay?

[heloise]

[ She remembers that he's a demon. ]

You found a need for one, Cole?

[demontobeloved]

[A long exhale]

No. Just that the castle gave me a small present for my birthday.

[heloise]

[ She pauses. ]

Is it a beautiful one?

Phoebe

[demontobeloved]

One of my athames.

I thought you weren't allowed weapons here.

[demontobeloved]

Depends if you're interested in ceremonial knives or not.

Cole Turner

[wizard_redfive]

...

......

Do I even want to know?

Dairine Callaghan

[demontobeloved]

It's nothing too demonic. Witches use 'em too

Cole Turner - Where'd the g come from?

[wizard_redfive]

Demonic or not, you said dangerous weapon.

[shepherdsveritas]

[Connor winces. It was unnerving to find out that the language he'd so closely related to his own religion was supposedly a core part of being a demon. But... he supposed it made sense. Even Lucifer was a fallen angel, after all. He sighs softly, choosing not to ask about the "language of power" bit, at least not right now.]

Aye. We've been learnin' more 'bout this place. Really is fucked up, innit?

[demontobeloved]

Tell me about it. Still, it's mostly harmless. You only need to worry about the First Gens, that's all.

[shepherdsveritas]

th'fuck's a "First Gen"?

Filter forever - I dunno. Magic?

[demontobeloved]

Well, knives are dangerous, aren't they?

[demontobeloved]

The castle's first residents. I don't know much about them, but they've got some sort of vendetta against us.

And they're dangerous.

/re-jack

[spiritusaequitas]

[guess who has two thumbs, is pretending he's not late to this thread, and doesn't care about filters? THIS GUY.

... he's just gonna shoot Connor a look and keep listening, for now. his brother can handle this for the moment, but rest assured, he's aware of what's being said]

And onward - Maybe. Is late.

[wizard_redfive]

Well, yeah. A bit.

Wait. What do you mean it's not "too" demonic?

[heloise]

Ceremonial? You mean it is used for--spells? [ She imagines it is for gutting animals out to sacrifice their entrails. ]

[demontobeloved]

Among other things, yeah.

[heloise]

I should like to see it, if I may.

[demontobeloved]

Witches use 'em, too.

[shepherdsveritas]

[His voice drops a little, he looks at his brother as he replies]

A vendetta? What've they done?

[demontobeloved]

Well, when we were going through a World Change, they snuck into the castle and wrecked the place. That's all I know so far.

They live out beyond the Dead Zone, a place where all magic and technology stops working, unless you have a crystal? I dunno. Even my powers won't work.

[wizard_redfive]

That's not what I-- you know what? Nevermind.

[She can read the non-filtered conversations later.]

So... Latin, huh?
