13:37 <strong>banana</strong> She takes a sip of her own goblet of human blood,<br />
quivering unpleasantly with delight for a moment.<br />

13:38 Oligopsony "A member of the Spear talked to me. He says I am a<br />
monster who serves God by being a monster. Maybe he is<br />
right. Maybe you should talk to him. Assuming you are<br />
of course on such a fell mission, ha ha. Surely -<br />
surely you are not. I apologize. How silly. But<br />
monsters have their purpose. If you are what I really<br />
do think you are you must excuse this as the weakness<br />

13:41 <strong>banana</strong> What's in the glass is definitely vitae, not blood -<br />
and under normal circumstances, that's impossible.<br />

13:42 <strong>banana</strong> Luca reaches for his glass, taking it if he lets her.<br />
13:42 <strong>banana</strong> The Bishop has paused - apparently he was inviting Cian<br />

13:44 <strong>banana</strong> There are five people in a police car, now; two of them<br />
are dead. Savik's in the front seat, though, talking<br />
"shop" with the driver, while in the back two men sit<br />
on either side of the badly injured Dietrich, each<br />
cuffed to one of his hands. You don't know quite what<br />
