No - no.

[That is the one thing that would be worse, losing the connection, whatever the connection means.]

Don't - I don't know how it's possible, but - don't go. Tell me more. Your world. Maybe it's not the same. Maybe it's - what do you know about us? About vampires? You hate us. I know.

Why should I?

voice

[bookofnope]

Because - it might happen. It could happen in your world, if it hasn't. My past, your future, if it's meant to happen it will happen.

voice

[standing_waters]

And if its meant to happen there's no stopping it. We know more than you think we do. We're well equipped for the next apocalypse.

The ne -

[Like fireworks in his brain. Bright. Loud. Overwhelming.]

God, the - the cyclical Gehenna theory? I'd not - listen! I don't care what I need to do. Anything. Whatever it is that would satisfy you. Greet the sun, if I need to, willingly, just tell me!

[standing_waters]

*Hm. Gehenna must be the word the vampires used for the end of the world. Too bad its not interesting at all.*

If we could see Sun's face properly here I might ask that of you, but as we can't there's nothing you can do to make up for your existence or the atrocities of your kind.

There must be something. I have - you don't want anything I have - I will do anything! I will beg your goddess's forgiveness on my knees. Have you never wanted one of my kind at your mercies? Here is your chance!

Re: voice

[standing_waters]

The only thing I want from your kind is your demise.

[A moment's silence, long and drawn-out, and finally Beckett answers in a level tone.]

Give me my answers and I will stay outside tonight.

[standing_waters]

*He considers it...but no. There was no guarantee that Beckett wouldn't return, and he doesn't need the vampire's allies after him.*

No.

[bookofnope]

I - !

[On the verge of cracking, at a loss, throwing out any offer he can think - ]

I'll tell them what I am. What it means. All of them. Those who think I deserve their friendship. They know, but don't... know. I'll tell them everything about my kind. You can have that satisfaction.

[standing_waters]

*He sighs. This was just sad.*

You don't need to do that, but I have nothing to tell you.

*And with that he hangs up.*
