We were essentially kidnapped to do their bidding, Dante. There wasn't even a contract to sign when you first get here, unlike most negotiations in the City. Not everyone's going to be thrilled with the job of "saving humanity" in another world.

[ but hmmm, let her think... ]

Like Mr. Silco, for one. That guy does nothing but complain since coming here.

No, I get that. I'm more surprised with LILITH than I am the people here.

Oh. *That guy.* ...I can see it.

[chiming in...]

i wouldn't interact with silco if you can help it, dante. he's a bad apple

That's the feeling I got from him too. He doesn't exactly come off as trustworthy.

Him trying to get me to act as an accomplice while he stole blood packs when I first got here didn't help either.

he did what

It was when they were holding the blood drive. Apparently I was standing in the right place to keep him hidden or something, so when I moved, thinking I was in his way, he wanted me to move back.

They were also all free (?!) so I don't even get what the need to steal them was about anyway.

[that's still the thing they're most frustrated about. Yes, more than the accomplice thing]

the man's a hard criminal to his very core. probably everything becomes an opportunity to take what he thinks he deserves

free blood bags and all

It was an opportunity to do *something.*

which is why you shouldn't be around him if you can help it. if he's putting you in a tough spot, call me

I'll... see what I can do. Hopefully it won't come to that.

[especially if he's got someone like Vergilius worried.]

[ hold on, she's... putting two and two together..... ]

Wait, hold on. ""This is a trophy you've earned, as it belonged to a thief." And Vergilius pointing out that it might've been the people who took Wriothesley from me...

Mr. Silco was there when I retrieved Wriothesley's vision from those cultists from Transylvania - a catalyst of his powers.

[ ... ]

Seriously?!

Wait. It was a gift after all?!

[one that's morbid as hell but...!]

I... guess? It's a heck of a gift, though.

It sure is...

It might be a good idea to get rid of it, but... where?

I'll just wait till New Years to burn it at the pyre. I did that last year too.

Wish I didn't have to keep doing this every freaking year, though.

The fire's real?

Mhm. Apparently it's a time-honored tradition here. Out with the old and in with the new, basically. And at this point I just want to move on from... that.

[ yeah. ]

[And here they were thinking her setting the blanket on fire was just a matter of personal catharsis]

That's fair.

We'll try and focus on the new when the time comes.

[together, like they always do, is what they mean]

[.....]

so

you think it was silco do you

We don't have actual proof to go off of. Only circumstantial evidence.

But it does add up, doesn't it? He watched me kill them, too.

[ and she was so close to killing him in a fit of rage too, but. you know. ]

you could just ask him

i'm sure he'll be proud to acknowledge his gift

Eugh, do I have to? I don't want him to think that he got under my skin - which he didn't, for the record.

you don't have to. technically i suppose in his eyes its a "gift"

Guess he should be fortunate that gifts like these aren't uncommon in the City. Which says a lot about society as a whole, don't you think?

society...

he comes from a world not too unlike ours. in a way its nostalgic i suppose
