    If you happen to be listening... the apparently sleeping man thought to no one in particular, ...most ethical theories indicate that the mentally ill are not responsible for their actions. At least in the way that the sane are.

    Which begs the question of ultimately responsibility for all of us now doesn't it. Are we insane because we do things which we would have to be insane to do? That seems circular. The hemophage, assuming the extraordinarily cliche stake indicates such, must feed. To require him to commit suicide by starvation seems like a hollow move on moral grounds.

    I don't think that this excuses that or other crimes, only that perhaps a broader understanding must be lent to the situation of monsters where ethics are concerned.

    You could also be a bigot, which is not something I am prepared to discount out of hand. Since I am apparently insane myself, I might as well pry on that lever a bit.

    Do you ever feel jealous? Not about the crazy or the criminal behavior of course. Although that could be discounted as personal failing and not endemic to the type. I can turn water into wine or walk up it. Does that make me of a kind with the man 2.1 billion worship and 1.7 revere as a prophet? Or would that require me to raise the dead as well? The walking corpse here seems to speak in favor of that being a possibility.

    So then, at what point do you have to stop looking at us a freaks?

    Mcloud visably tenses at Lovetts words but he doesn't respond.

    You all drive in silence for about 15 more minutes until you arrive at a small urban neighbourhood, you drive for a few more minutes befor stoping. Agent Mcloud says something to the effect of 'sit tight' and gets out of the car.

    OOG: cut to the agents

    You hear a banging on the front door a voice calls "Lovegood, Stayer it's Mcloud, I've got your new... charges."

    Agent Stayer sighs. "Well, speak of the devil..." She goes and answers the door. "Agent McCloud. I wish I was seeing you under different circumstances."

    At the female agent's voice Jacob's eyes open and he quickly does a second scan of the group of people he is with. Noting anything out of the ordinary before shifting slightly in his seat in order to obscure as much of his face as possible.

    "Likewise." Mcloud grunts looking tiered and exasperated, he gestures behind him to a black service van. "The circus is in the back with the Yusupov twins, and all your freaks come with their own tracking and neutralization devices. You ready to meet your future headaches?"
    If you answer to the affirmative Mcloud whistles at the van.

    Inside the van the twins get up and move to open the doors making sure not to show their backs to any of you. They open the van doors and the female states in firm but husky tone "no sudden moves".
    If all the extra normals decide to get out without issue the twins point to Mcloud and the two women he's talking to.
    When Marcus gets out of the car the male lightly taps him on his tracking device. something that might be a smile plays across the twins face but its gone before it can register.

    Mrs. Lovett storms out of the van the moment the doors open. "I hope one of you is up to explaining why your bloody operational security is mutually exclusive to some common human decency?"

    Her expression of malevolent glee completely fails to match the maternal indignation in her voice.

    So, is all of this going to go in some secret file somewhere? What will it tell you exactly? That I am crazy? I have already told you that. Well, I suppose adding to your paperwork is my duty as a captive isn't it. That I punish myself will never be sufficient for either of us will it?

    "Presumably because that security works both ways. If they think of us as people they might be tempted to let their guards down. A dangerous prospect considering our mutual body counts."

    The man who spoke looked fairly normal, his expression almost board. He was dressed in an all white, button up shirt, light tan slacks, and mostly white golf gloves on both hands.

    "I would suggest something in the way of more direct sun protection for the hemophage. It wouldn't do to lose one of your charges the very first day."

    So saying Victor rose and and exited. Turning to his jailors he said,

    "I don't suppose the nano machines confer any useful benefits to me like immune boosting or biometric monitoring? I would hate to be a testbed for such potentially useful technology without at least providing some useful benefits to the rest of humanity."

    When the door opens, John looks out with wide eyes. Moving away from Mrs. Lovett, he crawls on all fours to the entrance, poking his head out and sniffing the air. Seeing the two new agents, he tilts his head at them. "You smell like purple," he says to Agent Lovegood.

    What have I gotten myself into...

    Well, as long as it stays off my leg and leaves me no surprises it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.

    Interesting though, that anklet seems to be iron. A synthetic fiber would be stronger and less easy to remove. I suppose it must be like the vampire, a specific weakness. Perhaps I shall start carrying around a horseshoe the same way owners of new pets carry spray battles.

    Agent Lovegood gets up from where she was reading the dossiers for the third time. She stands with her partner, Agent Stayer, as their new team exits the van they arrived on.

    She keeps her composure as best she can, mentally noting who is who from the papers she has been reading. She quickly places the man walking on all fours as the mechanical specialist, and speaks to the group.

    "I don't believe any of you knew our predecessors, the Original SSS," she begins with a Western Washington accent. Her voice is cool and her pronunciation exact. "I am Agent Lovegood and this is Agent Stayer. We will be your superior officers."
    Jeanne does not feel the need to impress upon them any intimidation at this point, hoping the group can interact with civility.

    Jacob merely dipped his head by the tiniest of noticeable fractions before scanning the two agents trying to decide what their specialties were. It was a good idea to assess potential enemies while he had the chance.

    Marcus rose from his seated position in the van, stepping out of the body bag and straightening his clothes as he prepared to follow the rest of the crew out of it. Peering over their shoulders at their handlers. When he passed the male Yusopov and feels the tapping on his chest he lowers his gaze to peer at the hand, then lifts his head glaring at the agent.

    Inside the beast howled in fury and indignation. Insolence! Every fiber of his being screaming at the outrage of being treated this way by this lesser being. He is a lord, risen from the dead to rule! This lowly mortal would rue this day.

    Marcus calmly asserted his control over the monster within, he would play along nicely. There was still plenty of opportunity to turn this minor defeat into a victory. All he needed to do was to evaluate his prospect and get to know these new handlers.

    His mouth spread out into a big smile aimed at the agent, briefly baring his fangs as a taunt to him. Then stepping out of the van and joining the others, turning his attention to agent Lovegood. Briefly letting his eyes linger on the brooding man who had expressed concern over his well being.

    Interesting.

    Agent Stayer laughs in Mrs. Lovett's face.

    "Well, that's because in order to deserve human decency you need to be, you know... human."

    She gazes at the assembled monsters. "Let's make something perfectly clear. You might not be currently incarcerated, but you're still convicts. If any of you put one toe out of line, I won't hesitate to end you."
    "What is it they say about how nothing can stop the mail?"

    "Then let me make something clear in return. Respect is earned not given. I don't expect any from you until I have earned it, but don't expect any from me. I'll follow your orders as long as they benefit the innocent but the moment I sense even a hint of abuse I won't hesitate to end you." replied Edwards in a passionless voice as his eyes locked with those of Agent Slayter's. He wasn't trying to intimidate or threaten, he was talking as if stating a law of the universe. If such an action happened his response was already preordained.

    Good evening, agents. Daes says, It is a pleasure to meet the both of you. he moves to the front of the group and offers a hand in greeting. He glares over his right shoulder at something the agents can't see, then turns back to the new handler's with an easy and disarming smile. I am sure that given a nights rest and a few assignments together we will be able prove ourselves worthy efforts both as individuals and as a unit.

    For those of you that can see spirits, you will see what appears to be a mass of shadows bound to a human skeleton standing just behind the mage's right shoulder. It mimics his movements exactly, until he glares angrilyat it, at which point it seems to let out a silent cackle and moves over and leans on the van.

    "Stick without carrot. An interesting tactic. Tell me, will you feel any regret knocking us out with a phone and then killing us while helpless? In understand that you are taking the opportunity to establish dominance, but I think most of us are here because it suits us to. If we were going to misbehave the psych people wouldn't have recommended us.

    Regardless, if we are all done standing in a circle 'pleasing' ourselves with how tough and clever we are, perhaps we could get inside?
    "

    He nodded his head in the direction of the door.

    "Oh, and please never use the phrase 'I will end you.' It is might have been edgy at some point, but now it just sounds stupid."

    John swings into his seat, planting his feet on the chair and his hands between them, ending in a crouch. If it's a spinning chair, he spends a good minute enjoying that feature. "So what's the scoop, doll? I want that report right here by Friday, see? And none of that funny business, ya hear?" he says in a Hollywood Gangster voice, pretending to hold a cigar.

    Victor walked calmly and took his seat. He didn't actually pay the computer much notice though. Instead he folded his legs up into a half lotus position, let his hands rest in his lap and looked expectantly at the agents. If they didn't know he had been receiving signals since coming out into the open he wasn't about to volunteer it. Respect wasn't the only thing that had to be earned.

    Daes seems to be a mirror of the other mage. He calmly walks to his seat, and watches the agents expectantly without bothering to touch the computer. as he sits down facing the agents, he reclines easily in his seat putting one leg over the other and fixing his steel grey eyes on the new handlers, fingers inter-locked, hands resting in his lap.

    As he does this, he scans the room for any supernatural disturbances in the twilight, looking through Nightsong's eyes, who crouches off to his right.

    "We do not mean to be difficult. The fact we are almost inevitably going to resent you. As our keepers you are the immediate symbol of our less than desirable state. Additionally, the first thing out of your mouth was contempt and insult.

    In light of all that, it seems reasonable that you should be somewhat less than our favorite person in the world. Or have social mores changed while we were away such that the slave and master lifestyle became so ubiquitous that your reactions are indicative of genuine affection?

    Daes chuckles and shakes his head, realizing his early attempt to salvage the situation were needless. This one could handle the situation much more smoothly than he, at least as far as the handlers were concerned.
