[There's a short silence.]

Oh, fuck me. Not this place again, all right? I'll take my chances back there, brak.

At least tell me, have many of the vampires gone and has anything much changed, huh? Or is it still all moord, naai, geld with you?

'Blood, sex, and money,' huh?

-Private to Sexby-
You still here, bru?

I don't need to be 'redeemed,' huh? I've gotten by just fine without him all these years.

I'm still an inmate, if that's what you mean, but he did send me home for a time.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Then there must be something he expects of you. Either that, or he requires nothing more than to watch 'wardens' and 'inmates' patronise one another with ranks and status.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

You one dem gov'ment types, huh?

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Government? No.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

That's good, ja. What is it that you do then, Saitoman?

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

I warden, Mr. Archer. There is little else to do but that.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Good answer.

Something illegal then? [He assumes everyone is corrupt.]

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

You believe a lack of directness automatically means illicit doings?

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

You're too confident to be a victim. If you're not gov'ment or American, there's not much else.

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Do I sound American to you, Mr. Archer?

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Not at all, my friend. So what "ill'cit doings" you do, huh?

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

All of them.

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Very funny, my man.

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

I thought so.

Perhaps you will just have to find out over time.

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

You want do business, you give me a ring, huh? Until then, you keep busy with your own kerels.

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

... What sort of business would that be?

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Whatever's needed, my man. I get people the things they need.

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Even upon this barge?

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

That depends on payment.

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Money does not account for much here.

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Ek weet, bru.. 'I know,' huh? There are still things I need. Same as anyone else.

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

An adaptable businessman. I like this.

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Only good if there's business to be had.

Private-

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

I am sure you will find plenty of opportunity on a confined place like this.

Private-

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Didn't work so well last time, my friend. "Prefect" seemed to be doing most of the business and his warden supported him.
