[Demona just came back from a mission, so she is tired. But happy. Actually, very happy. And is currently at hers and Londo's apartment, surprise surprise.]

I see things are about to get exciting. Good. I was starting to get bored. [Londo, get ready~]


[PRIVATE TO: QILBY AND BARRICADE]

I believe you two haven't met yet, but this is a perfect time.

Barricade, I did not mention it, but there is someone who already knows my plans and has his of his own. They happen to come hand in hand. [aka, he's an ally. Yeah, sure, let's call him that.] Qilby. He is, too, interested in souls, their potential, and has no qualms with our objective.

And Qilby, I seem to have forgotten to mention Barricade to you. [more like, didn't feel like it yet. Wow, villains work so well together]

Do get acquainted with one another.  [so you two join together and go to that goddamn mission to get some souls, will you?]

Comments

[you see, he isn't an evil dick]

Aha, I suppose this kind of fun isn't his style. Too bad, really.

[badcop]

[Barricade taps his jawline with two sharp talons.]

Hm, that really is too bad. Still, not a bad idea partnering with someone who isn't privy to your ulterior motives. Then again, I'm not a fan of liabilities.

[pmsgargoyle]

He doesn't even know they exist. [she is a good liar]

If he becomes too close, I will get rid of him. [and Demona is such a huge asshole]

[badcop]

[Good to know, good to know... next up was finding this Londo guy and finding out if she was lying. Little details meant a lot in the long run.]

Good. [He pauses a moment.] Which reminds me, if you run into another bot like me - yellow, talks through the radio - don't mistake him for my friend.

[pmsgargoyle]

Aha. So you have a liability. [not good]

How problematic will that get?

[badcop]

[Yeah, yeah, rub it in why don't you. He snarls.]

Despite the fact that we stand on complete opposite sides of the ideology divide, shouldn't be too bad. So long as he thinks I'm staying out of trouble, he'll leave me alone.

[Except, Decepticons were always causing trouble so far as Autobots were concerned.]

[pmsgargoyle]

Is there a risk he will tell Shibusen something? Or that he knows more than you do? [aka, came from the future]

[badcop]

[How would he know? It wasn't like they were on speaking terms, outside of threats of physical violence.]

Look, why don't you let me worry about him? He won't be a problem unless he thinks I've stepped out of line, and even then I know how to get him to back down.

[Besides, he may or may not have been stalking Bumblebee's partner when he got this message. The importance of research.]

[pmsgargoyle]

You do realize if he becomes a problem to you, there is a chance he will be a problem to me.

[Demona drops the subject, though] Do as you like. Just don't drag me into it.

[you can drag qilby, it's cool]

[badcop]

[She'd already called him stupid before, thanks to his network message, but he was finding he didn't care what she thought of him. She was more than welcome to underestimate him if she was going keep talking down to him like that.]

I'll ask likewise if any of your potential liabilities show their faces. Let's deal with our own problems, and ask each other for help only when it's necessary, and leave it at, huh?

[pmsgargoyle]

Very well, then. Let's leave it. [until it bites you in the ass and Demona calls you stupid again |8 ]

[badcop]

[Back off blue lady, he knows what he's doing.] Good. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to acquaint myself with Qilby. See you after the mission.

[pmsgargoyle]

Good luck.
