In the outside arena we have one raven-haired ex-Peacekeeper. It looks like she's scratching something into the snow with a stick. Could be she's trying to figure out what you get a not!boyfriend for Christmas.

In the inside arena, at a booth, there's one Miss Thea Harman. She's swirling a glass full of red wine and looking generally malevolent.


[OOC: Double entry post fun! Specify who you wish to talk to and if your pup is the type to report Evil Thea to security, please to not be picking her. Thank you :)]

He grins.

"But what does that make men?"

Re: Thea

She inclined her head, thinking on it for several minutes before answering.

"Dinner."

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

He snorts.

"I think I'd be too big a mouthful for you, darling."

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"I have no interest in the shell. It's whats inside that interests me."

Souls are sweet like candy, didn't ya know?

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

He's no longer smiling quite so brightly.

"I'll just bet you are."

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"And you? Preferred food source?" The thing in Thea's body grinned, careful to sound nonchalant. No sense in getting in over one's head.

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

Pre-digested mush.

"I switch and change as the mood takes me."

Still smiling, still watching.

There's something not quite right.

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"Something wrong?" Her fingers twitched, almost unnoticable.

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"Why would anything be wrong?"

He fishes some berries from his Bag and munches them, one by one.

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

Suspicion crept like a thief up her neck.

"Are you a spy?" Her eyes were fixed on him now. Was it time to return? To let the girl out? She was weak, she could not take a threat now.

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"Depends on who you think I'm spying for, pretty Belle."

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"Security. People who want us dead."

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"And if I were to say yes?"

Still smiling, still watching. His voice is lazy, careless, his gaze less so.

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"I would have to leave our conversation. I have no desire to end up in a cell."

Beat.

"There is so little fun to be had there."

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"I've got no particular interest in putting you in a cell."

Yet.

"Cells can be interesting enough, if you;ve got the right company."

Another smile.

"Just a hint, darling; referring to men as dinner doesn't go down well with many humans."

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"I care nowt for what humans think." She shrugged lazily, rapidly changing moods.

"Everything has to eat. Even me."

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"Humans can make things uncomfortable."

He studies her, no longer smiling.

"You can only eat souls?"

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"Yes." She is equally joyless, frowning at a wall fixture. Even when Thea locked her away she could sense the hunger creeping up on her.

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

He tilts his head, studying her intently.

"Do you gain pleasure from it, or is it simply an act of survival? Will you die if you don't eat souls?"

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"I do not need to answer your questions." The glare was possibly more effective, coming from a face that looked like it couldn't scowl to save it's life.

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"No, but if you do there's less chance I'll call Security, and more chance I might be able to knock something up that'll stop you being so hungry."

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

"I will die. Along with this vessel." Thea muttered, sulkily. She would not go down alone.

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"That'd kind of suck."

He considers.

"See, the bit I'm getting stuck on is what'll happen if you start eating people's souls. Most people are kind of attached to their souls, so I'm thinking you'd probably get stuck in a cell, and there's no food for you in there."

One hand absently pets the Bag.

"Me, I'm a grower. Might be able to make something that'll take away the hunger without you having to munch on someone's soul and get locked up."

Re: Thea

[whitewitch-thea.livejournal.com]

She sat up straighter.

"I do not think that is possible." Her eyes shut slowly.

You would prefer that, would you not, Sweet?

Yes, you can survive without hurting anyone.

The boy will still be mine.

No!

Thea's eyes snapped open again. "It would suffice, for now."

Re: Thea

[soweroflife.livejournal.com]

"There're lots of things that people think aren't possible. I can do some of them anyway."

He tilts his head, studying her curiously.

"You're not alone in there."
