Hey there! I'm Kirby. We'll be friends, I hope, I hear your crowd is extra-super cool you know. Angels and demons and all. Wow. Really cool.

Too bad that place is in Britain, really. The weather's going to ruin my tan big-time. Well, anyway, don't worry about that. I'll live. But right – I was going to introduce myself.

I've known from an early age what I wanted to do with my life, and worked to get it. Make no mistake, it's not that easy. There aren't all that many places that train people in my chosen profession in the first place, and in most of those that do, being a woman is a big no-no. My psych evaluation says I have the 'overdeveloped ability to categorise people as "different".' See, most people don't kill easily. At least not other humans. And if they do it's a big thing. But if those people you kill are different, that's different you know.

Did you notice the pun?

Anyway. They're so different they're hardly really human, and then it works out just fine. So, I got into the line of work I wanted to and worked it for a while. Then I got bored. I quit. They tried to keep me from quitting and I showed them it was a bad idea. I spent some time finishing up loose ends and settling old bills. I'd made enemies, so some sent their own people after me, and I settled those, too. Then I took a nice long eighteen month vacation on the beach and got bored even worse.

Then I went private. There's some real money in the private sector for people like me you know. I like that. Not that I need it. I'm rich, you know. I did some blackmailing and after some of those operations I was part of the money was just lying around and looking for someone to take care of it. Really cool.

Okay, so the boss-woman and the semi-boss-woman say I've got to say something about the technical stuff, too. I'm from Southern California.

Okay, okay, so actually I'm from Cody McFadyens Smoky Barrett books series. Happy now?

I'm from Southern California and the lady who's going to play me if you let me in is from Germany but has lived in Britain for a while. She knows the weather. She doesn't have a tan either. She's short and has grey hair and is older than I'm likely to ever get and right now she doesn't even have a computer with internet access but she can play from work. That's cool, too, don't you think?

The internet at work part, not the not having access.

She saw your game at Linda and Micha's place and thought it looked fun, but she's never really played anything like that before. She's willing to learn, though, or so she says. She's a historian, which is a super-extra boring job if you ask me. Gives her lots of time on the computer, though.

So, I'd be happy if you let me play with the boys, British weather or no. But until then, I think I'll find myself some fun ont he beach. Later alligator!

I like her. :D

How will she react to the angels and demons?

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

You mean for real? Oh well, let me tell you right away, I believe in my gun and my job and in finding a man to spend the night with. Really, I'm not one for all the religious talk. Last time I tried my hand at confessing it went real super-extra bad, you know. I don't see what those catholics see in it, I truly don't.

Now if there were - and mind you, I don't say there are - but if there were kiddies with wings around, I'd just let them flutter on about their angely business.

As for the demons, now don't they sound fun? You think they might be up for a game of cards or a drink after work?

IC, then? :D

[cattygabriel]

I heard of the confession, yes.

... I assure you, angels are not babies with wings. We don't sit around on clouds playing harps either.

And while I am sure Belial would love to buy you a drink, I can only suggest that you be careful.

Is more fun!

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

Careful how? My, but aren't you kind of cute, worrying about me like that? Don't worry about me, sweetheart. I'm of sterner stuff than I look. Who's Belial and when can I meet him? What's he do for fun? What--

Wait. You said 'we'. Why did you say we? You mean you're an angel? So howcome aren't you wearing a nightshirt and wings and a halo?

[cattygabriel]

Belial is a Crown of Satan, and he seduces people for fun.

... we wear robes. Not nightshirts. As for wings, you can see them if you promise not to touch.

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

He sounds fun! I seduce people for fun, too. Or well, not people, more like men. On the beach, preferably.

Robes, nightshirts, isn't that pretty much the same? Why no touching? Are they, like, erogenous zones? But you know I don't usually go around grabbing guys unless I got a good reason for it and I like them a bit older than you are. Really now. So sure, here, no touching. Scout's honor.

[cattygabriel]

... [is speechless, and far too stunned to even close his mouth]

(ooc: I think it was the bit about erogenous zones that pushed him over the edge. XD Which is wonderfully amusing because they ARE.)

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

Aw man, but you're boooooring! You promised me wings and now where are they, huh? Really, I think I better stick with the demons, you know! Now where would that Belial guy be?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_silverfox/]

So, why are you coming to Lower Tadfield, Kirby? I sure hope it isn't a business trip.

And what do you think of immortals, gods and aliens ... and as an afterthought our christ and antichrist?

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

Semi-boss woman, don't you worry a bit, I'm not going to break the rules of the house. As a matter of fact, and unless someone objects, I was sent by those guys who're out for the superboy who escaped them a couple years back. No killing just watching and maybe bringing back to them sometime. I don't say I can't switch sides if people convince me enough. It's not like I need the money from that job. I'm rich, you know.

Immortals sound cool. I mean, really? Like you can't kill them? What if you cut of their hands, do they grow back? Can I put a whole magazine into them and they keep coming? That'd sure be a handy skill to have in my line of work, you know.

Gods totally depends on the god in question. There's a couple that sounded like they might be up for a night of fun. Or two or five. So which ones do you have to offer?

Your antichrist sounds pretty boring. Like a spoilsport. Live at that hotel would be that much more interesting I bet, without his rules. Really, now.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_silverfox/]

Hm ... are you sure you know what you're getting into? I hear those people are a really nasty bunch.

Erm ... Well, no, hands don't grow back, but they do comeback to life, if you shoot then, yes. No matter how many bullets you use, they won't stay dead.

Loki and Aphrodite at the moment.

He's also responsible for a lot of people being there, though, so it might be less fun without him after all.

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure I do. You think I don't research my clients before I take on a job? Course I do! You know, the thumbless guy isn't that bad in bed either. The young thumbless guy that is, not his old man, of course. Anyway, I'll make up my mind about what to do later. I think.

I'm not really into women, but I could always try. I'm not really into norse myth, so I'll have to see about him when I meet him.

That's super-extra cool with the immortals you know. You think I'll meet one? Are they otherwise like real people? I mean - Oh you know what I mean!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_silverfox/]

Just making sure. I don't want you to get into trouble after all.

I don't know whether Aphrodite is either, but since she is a goddess of love ...

Real enough that you might not notice when you meet them ... and you probably will.

[excunningthief.livejournal.com]

I haven't read those books, but she sounds like loads of fun! I don't really have any questions for her, unfortunately. (Or maybe fortunately, since that means I'm OK with her joining.)

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

Why thanks so much for being okay with me! And hey, that is one extra-super cool hat! Are you part of some kind of hat-squad thing?

[roseheerkens.livejournal.com]

Do you have an opinion on werewolves? Ever met one?

[beachbunnykirby.livejournal.com]

Werewolves? You mean howling at the moon kind of werewolves that go crazy under the full moon? Cool. Do you think I should have some silver bullets cast? Or maybe a silver coating on my knife? Don't worry kiddo. I can stand my own against any werewolf I'd sure. I met a guy once in - well, somewhere - who was surely more aggressive and cruel than any werewolf you would ever have met.

[roseheerkens.livejournal.com]

You won't need any silver bullets here. Adam's rules state that no one at the manor is allowed to hurt another inhabitant of the manor.
And hey, those are just clichés, rumours spread by people who don't know any better.
