68th Appetizer

[council_king]

Poor sick things... I know how you suffer. I understand your guilt, loneliness, shame, hatred, envy, ... your impulses.

Let me help you be a 'better' .... whatever~.



[ooc: Cursed with grab bag's- I'm a Professional, please welcome the City's most unconventional 'therapist'. Hey, 3000+ years and a personal understanding of causing pain and insanity has to make him a great therapist. Am I right? >.>']

[Xhex responds but without looking at the device yet, a soft smile upon her face.]

Do you now?

[She opens her eyes, irises now a bright red as she looks at the device.]

Tell me then...what you know about mine.

[council_king]

Every living thing experiences pain, disappointment, heartache, loss...

Or do you think you're different?

video;

[nosympathy]

But we are. Or should I tell you about yours instead?

video;

[council_king]

That's not why I'm here.

Afraid to face your demons~? How do you ever expect to put them behind you if you don't...

video;

[nosympathy]

The only demon in my life is me. Are you going to exorcise the truth or do you think facing it is going to break me?

video;

[council_king]

Good. Now was that so hard?

I can help you, you know.

video;

[nosympathy]

Can you? The only help so far has been for yourself.

Such an arrogant thing for a vampire.

video;

[council_king]

What... don't I deserve some time for myself~?

video;

[nosympathy]

At what cost?

video;

[council_king]

Am I that badly needed? I suppose so.

Listen to them all. Every day I hear them going on about one problem or another. The cries for help never stop. Just think of what I can do...

video;

[nosympathy]

You have yet to specify what you can do. Will you listen to them whine more or put them out of their misery?

video;

[council_king]

Isn't that the job of a gifted therapist, to do both?

video;

[nosympathy]

All depends on how you do it.

[There's a quite laugh from her as she smiles.]

video;

[council_king]

That depends on the client, of course. [So cursed. Not getting the joke.]

video;

[nosympathy]

And just what would you charge me?

video;

[council_king]

Don't worry, I know that you don't have much. For you, a special rate, since we're on such 'good' terms.

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

... excuse me?

[Video]

[council_king]

What part didn't you understand?

Your problems. My cure. As simple as that...

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

I sincerely doubt you possess the cure to every affliction.

[Video]

[council_king]

Do you believe you're so broken?

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

Not personally. You are addressing the City at large.

[Video]

[council_king]

I'm addressing any that reach out to me. [Including you.]

Now. Tell me what bothers you. Or are you blissfully happy with how your life has turned out~?

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

[He does not intend to share, because he prefers to keep to himself— but his anger at the suggestion that he's blissfully happy with the way things are brings it out of him in a thoughtless moment of anger:]

Of course not. How can I be pleased with being torn from my home and my brother? [What a quick change in demeanor.]

[Video]

[council_king]

Yes~. How can you be?

So much anger... think of what you could do if you could harness it.

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

Hmph, as if such a thing could be harnessed... [He sounds quieter, but not really any calmer. His speech is just as impassioned and that grin's rather unpleasant.] if it were possible, I would show no mercy to those who would even steal away small children.

They must not be forgiven.

[Video]

[council_king]

Schedule an appointment with me. There's much I can do for you.

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

[He's doubtful that anyone here could do anything to oppose those in power and this man is definitely suspicious, but now, Nobori's curious.]

What sounds like a good time?

[Video]

[council_king]

I don't work days. But I might have an opening this Wednesday if you want it.

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

Interesting.

I'll take it.

[Uhura has a policy of not engaging with creepers, but her hangover is affecting her judgement.]

You might want to offer your name and qualifications first.

voice;

[council_king]

Maybe so. I can't expect to be as well known as I was back home.

Do you need such an introduction~?

voice;

[universaltranslator]

[She's been looking for a therapist, yes, but like hell would she go with this guy.]

It's more a word of advice. If you're going to advertise your services, you should make sure people know you're legitimate.

voice;

[council_king]

Such a confined thing. I see the problem now.

Taken, it's only natural that you want some control again.

voice;

[universaltranslator]

Excuse me?

voice;

[council_king]

Lost. Trying to 'fit' in with your new environment. Needing to belong.

How's that working for you so far~?

voice;

[universaltranslator]

...congratulations. You've managed to be completely wrong and yet still creepy. I would consider a different profession if I were you.
