Randolph grew impatient. Körbl was instigating fights and yet no one took the bait. Randolph excused himself obviously, termination is not something he is planning on in the near future, but the others seemed only to exasperate the situation with words and not actions. This lack of conflict makes it unlikely there will be a corpse in Randolph’s near future. A suggestion he did not like as he was tired of the meaningless food he was given, corpses whose greatest secrets were trite gossip and pointless drama. The last time he had a metahuman for dinner was…. About two years and seventy something days ago, a luxury he rarely gets unfortunately. Their taste tends to be… intoxicating. [color=blueviolet] ‘Calm yourself…’ [/color] the thought entered Randolph’s mind. [color=blueviolet] ‘Now is not the time to throw away the goodwill built up with the fools running the place. Patience has worked before and it will work again. Look for opportunity…’ “Ya na kadishtu, Ya hai kadishtu…” [/color] Randolph muttered under his breath, words engraved in his mind to remind him of his goal. [quote=@Eviledd1984] “[color=f7941d]Maybe we can measure how strong we are; if we tell each other what our superpowers are? I'm curious what you guys can do?[/color]” [/quote] A reasonable query. A curiosity to pass the time perhaps, maybe trying to guess weaknesses, or… looking for a group? Must be planning something…. something important enough to require assistance from…villains. An untrustworthy lot. Perhaps she seeks a few people to throw under the bus in case something goes awry, or maybe she is desperate. There is clearly an ulterior motive to this, but something tells Randolph this is the opportunity. [color=blueviolet] “I would have thought you’d heard rumors at the least… but I eat the dead and experience the memories held in flesh repast.” [/color] Randolph said, a little annoyed at the idea of someone not knowing what he does. [color=blueviolet] “Not so much a superpower though, just a thing my kind does but I suppose I should not fault you for not researching into something you probably did not know existed prior to meeting me. And don’t worry, my food is not much better than yours, they make sure I don’t learn anything…useful. My talents are wasted here as the knowledge held within this flesh are only relevant on the outside.” [/color] Randolph ended, clearly expressing his displeasure of being held within these walls. He was about to turn his thoughts to something else before he recalled something else that was relevant. [color=blueviolet] “Oh, I suppose I should mention I am quite a bit stronger than just about any Human and I am adept at making tunnels. If only I could get the opportunity to tunnel my way out of here…possibly bring others along.” [/color] Randolph said quietly, taking a bet on what Abigail was aiming for. [quote=@SrslyAnArtist] [color=ed1c24]“Not as alien to me as it may be to others. Aye, that’s my name,”[/color] Rue nodded in reply to Randolph, locking eyes with him. [color=ed1c24]“My race, as a whole, tends to stay in their own realm for the most part. Humans who think all demons are evil plague this realm, and many a demonkin has been slain simply for being a demon traveling through the realms at the wrong time. I’m willing to converse with you, I’d like to hear these theories of yours. Perhaps I could even tell you how my race came to be, if we get to it.”[/color] [/quote] [color=blueviolet] “Glad to hear it, I look forward to exchanging information and hope it will be illuminating. Conversation is a perfectly valid substitute to consumption when the corpse dares to be alive.” [/color] Randolph said jokingly, punctuating it with a laugh. [quote=@Klumsykrow357] [color=ec008c]“Heeey! What's crackin' ma homies? Randy, long time no see!...”[/color] [/quote] [color=blueviolet] “Hey... It’s so GOOD they let you out.” [/color] Randolph attempted to hide the displeasure in his voice. Randolph was careful, reserved, passive. But Iris was forceful, unpredictable, lacking inhibition. The difference in personalities were vast, and though Randolph had no ill will towards her, he felt…uncomfortable around her. Still, she has not done anything to Randolph, so he will give her the same respect as everyone else. Even if it is difficult. [color=blueviolet] “Well, it’s nice that you are here… I suppose” [/color] Randolph dropped to a whisper at the end. [color=blueviolet] “So you going to catch us up on what you’ve been doing or…?[/color]
