Private to Edgar.

[pearling]

You will come to my cabin immediately.

[And then Martha and Persephone have a talk about how Edgar's kicked off the infirmary staff.]

"Well...I know it's a place of wailing and gnashing of teeth, and I know drinking blood is an abomination that will make you end up there."

"No. Drinking blood will not land you in hell. I know that because I suppose..." Persephone sighed for a moment, and then she touched the fireplace screen that was made up of the images of souls in torment. "I am the Queen of Hell, Edgar."

"There's a--I mean the real--the Christian Hell. Not Hades."

"Trust me when I tell you there is only one hell, and I was there."

She might have been delusional, but he had a question he figured he might as well ask. "Well, then why am I here if it isn't for my blood drinking?"

"You are here because of how you perceive yourself, Edgar." She paused. "Because you think you are not human."

"But that's ridiculous! I'm not human. I'm half-bat." Of course, he was ignoring the fact that his mind was nearly entirely human, and that he was fully sentient, but to him, being part bat made a world of difference.

"Are you speaking now? Are you bothered by the fact that you do not perceive yourself to have a soul?"

Re: [Spam.]

[notonedrop.livejournal.com]

"Of course I'm bothered by it...and of course I'm speaking. I know I'm intentional, but my nature just reverts to bestial when I don't drink blood. Like some sort of cruel joke. I have to damn myself so I can have the awareness to want to not be damned."

"All mortals become unreasonable and irrational when they are hungry. Have you not seen people when they become thus?" Se watched him for a moment and then looked to the room around them. "You need to learn control."

Re: [Spam.]

"Well...no. I never saw anyone not eat for a long time." Aside from himself, but that hardly counted. "Control? I tried to learn control. That's why I sometimes stop eating...not lately, but when I do."
