[voice] don't say they come to pray to the lord

I think this month has actually been one of the milder ones, as far as curses go. No spilled secrets or random monsters, just idealistic rainbow-chasers and dirty text messages.

Which isn't nearly as different from the norm as you'd hope.

[and he clears his throat]

I've long since resigned myself to thinking of staying here as an unpaid vacation. I hate to say it, but sometimes I still miss-- not my hours at work so much, but my old office. At least, the desk portion of it. The bed gets depressingly uncreative.

... Gabriel, I trust you've settled in well enough, haven't you?

I'm afraid I was honest. I still like to help people, so long as they're pretty women.

[ !!! ]

[ That does actually make her laugh. ]

All right, I'll buy it.

I'm glad to hear it, Carla.

You don't care what I think, Raphael.

Now two honest things in a day is a little more than I'd like to manage.

You never double up on your girls? Or are you a disingenuous fuck?

Do you mean threesomes, or just separate affairs going on at once?

Either.

Both.

Hm.

[It's a faint, humming little laugh. She's torn between pursuing the point she was going to make and--]

Which do you prefer?

Several affairs at once, by far. You eventually get to the point that excess stops being entertaining.

Never. Orchestrating is just as entertaining.

You think so?

I'm greedy.

[What can she say.]

Give it time and even that'll turn into apathy.

[The sharpness of her grin may be obvious in her initial silence. So he answered her question after all.]

I'm not giving myself time.

But that's all you have. Here, at least.

It can be ended.

Death doesn't even last here. There's no reason to seek it.

Sometimes. It depends.

Care to enlighten me?

If there's nothing left, there's nothing left. Could burn someone up.

That's quite a nonchalant attitude to take.

I don't want to be a walking corpse, doctor. And you don't have to die to be one.

No. You don't.
