[Not much bothers him, and he doesn't seem distraught now either...but some of the "amused behind the glass" aspect has vanished.]

Bleu is in a coma. I don't know if she has any friends. Or enemies, or anyone else who'd care, on board--but if she does, you have a right to know.

If she does have enemies, well, she's not being left unguarded, so no one do anything heroic or stupid.

[Private to Harvey]

Where are you?

Possibly so, I think he is an elder god. Just throwing that out there. What else would have such power as him?

[ Vergil wants that power. He's not dumb enough to try not watered down.]

No, simply being annoying as always. Most like him though, he is the 'likeable' one.

[He grimaces a little, more in sympathy and wonder than anything.]

If they had a brother like yours they'd probably sympathize more with you than with him.

Do you have powers like his?

I doubt it, these younger generations seem to enjoy the flashy nature. I have been observing for a very long time.

Yes, normally a bit more powerful, but here very much watered down. And you? Have you any power?

[Hah, that's...very true. It does make work here difficult sometimes.]

Less power than some people think I have, but no, nothing supernatural. Probably less than my inmate has, actually, if you look at the kind of power they covet around here.

The coveting of power is not a bad thing. Without power there is not much one can do.

[ Vergil's power hungry.]

But still, to have no power worth mentioning and still having people think you do, that is impressive.

Thank you. [He says it politely, with a little humble nod.] But it does mean I have to reach out more than I did at home, because without the help of people who have skills like yours, all I really have is a lot of words, or the hope that I can get a killing blow in first if things get dicey.

So you're certainly right...without power, we're basically useless. Especially here. The problem is that a lot of people here don't realize the types of power they actually have...

You are quite welcome. And such a way with words too, I am impressed. You seem like a man one could get into a long fueled debate with, and that alone is a rarity I am finding.

So, if you are ever in the mood to parley, I would more then offer my power in a time of need should it arise. Debate is one of my few hobbies. [ of the non-deadly kind.]

[You don't even know what a relief it is to have someone to debate with, okay]

I'd enjoy that. A lot. Do you smoke? [Even if he doesn't:] I go up to the deck to smoke after dinner. It's usually quiet up there around then. Good place for discussion.

I do not smoke, but it does not bother me in the least. This sounds very agreeable. Simply let me know when you wish to begin and we can.
