[untilmydarknessgoes]

Well. That was fucking stupid.

[Damon gives a small raise of his glass before knocking it back.]

Comments

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[Amen, brother.]

Exactly why she's going to be so much fun to fuck with.

[It'll be a nice project to pass the time even if it doesn't really end up amounting to anything. It's not like Damon's going anywhere or that things are going to get better.]

Heard you got saddled up with a warden. That's exciting.

[characterdefect]

[He raises his eyebrows.]

Oh, you did, did you. Somehow you heard the bellowing voice of our dark overlord?

Yeah. It should be interesting. Horatio's a friend of mine. [Or, at least, he was. Maybe not so much anymore.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

I can't say I know him all that well outside that time he tripped in the hall buck-naked. Maaaaybe not the best impression, but I'm sure he's completely capable.

[All aboard the sarcasm train whoo-whoo!]

[characterdefect]

I don't know why no one thought to videotape that for blackmail purposes.

[You incompetent pack of losers, jfc.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Oh, did I forget the part where he told me he was in the showers with an older man?

[It's Damon's turn to raise his eyebrows before taking another swig of his glass.]

[characterdefect]

. . . Interesting.

[It's super hard not to laugh right now. Instead, he stares off into the distance, as if mentally taking very serious notes.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[Damon, on the other hand, will laugh and roll his eyes.]

This fucking place...

[characterdefect]

Full of psychos, right?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[A wistful sigh.]

If only.

[characterdefect]

If they're not yet, they will be. Psychos or dead. Maybe even both if I'm lucky.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

You mean if you're talented enough. If luck had anything to do with it, well...

[He gives a little nods.]

You are here, I'm just saying.

[Damon sighs, looking into his glass as he swirls the last contents of his glass. He's not sulking. More equal parts resigned and pissed off at this point.]

I tell you what, I'd be having a lot more fun if this place hadn't taken away my powers. [He downs the last of his glass.] Now I gotta do everything the old-fashioned way.

[characterdefect]

Yeah, well.

[That wasn't luck, that was getting stabbed in the back. Mum's the word. He holds out his glass for a refill.]

Consider it an exercise in making yourself a better monster, or something equally inspiring. If you ever need backup, though . . .

[He'd be happy to kill some people for you, boo.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[Damon looks at Roderick for a moment to see if he maybe he's screwing with him. It wouldn't be unlike Damon to screw with someone after all and he's usually a good point of reference for people like Roderick. But it's genuine for all intents and purposes for now.]

[He smiles as he pours himself and Roderick a second glass.]

What's mine is yours. [He holds up his glass.] To a beautiful new partnership.

[characterdefect]

[Clink, clink. Roderick grins. See, this is why he likes this place. There's so much potential in some people, he can't even stand it.]

To us.
