30th Devotion: Protecting the Near and Dear

[favoritetraitor]

I'd like to ask for all members of ARTEMIS to please limit your contact with others until the Geostygma disease has been contained. So far, there is no cure from what I've seen, so naturally there is only one thing to do to prevent the spread of this illness.

Stay inside. Communicating with others is best done only through the network at this time...

Saya... please do likewise. If Hagi is with you, make certain that the two of you don't leave the apartment. If not, I think it wise to send him to my old apartment until we can be certain that both of you are clean.

[ooc: And to make matters far more fun, Solomon has been struck with today's curse of 'I Cannot Tell a Lie'.]

Don't know what you did that I'm supposed forgive.

That's quite alright, it's not important...

What's ARTEMIS?

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

ARTEMIS is an organization formed to combat the curses of this city... do you have an interest in participating?

I barely have time to keep be a day guard for the Hellsings and a bouncer at Blue Note. The five hours I have free, I'm sleeping.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, I quite understand. I would too if I were you...

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Heh. Just because I'm not completely huma-...

Shit.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... not completely... human? What do you mean?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm a scion. Half demon.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

A scion? How fascinating! You just got my complete attention... I'd love to hear more about it.

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Fascinating? What are you on?

And what am I supposed to tell you?

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

"On"? I assure you, I'm not 'on' anything whatsoever... is it so strange to find new situations and experiences 'fascinating'?

I've never met a scion before...

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Nope. Just you being interested in demon crap.

So what do you wanna know? You haven't said yet.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

What exactly is a Scion? Abilities, lifespan, biological differences compared to humans...?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm half demon. Said that already.

All that other stuff? It varies.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

That's not really helpful... I don't suppose you'd agree to letting me examine you. I'm a doctor at the city hospital, you see.

Ah, I suppose that's asking for too much. Forgive me. My curiosity sometimes gets the better of me...

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Pay me and I'd think about it.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Really? That is tempting. Let me get back to you on that...

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm a mercenary. I don't do things free generally.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

A mercenary? I wonder...

How loyal are you to a client? Can you be bought out by an opponent of one you serve... turn against the original client?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Long as they pay me, they're who I work for.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

So you can't be bought away while still on retainer? Even for a considerable amount more?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm a bastard but I got some class.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I think I like you better already.

Tell me, Mr. Kincaid... what exactly are your skills? I'd like to know what you are capable of bringing to the table.

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

With or without weapons?
