Suite 518/520, Tuesday early morning

[demonbelthazor]

Agitated, Bel paced his room. First his failure with Veronica and Piper, then Cally's discovery of his powers last night. He was starting to leave a trail of evidence that could eventually point back at him, and that could not be allowed to happen. He'd have to step up his plans, move the coronation forward so he could end this charade.

And in the meantime, maybe he could arrange some sort of distraction, keep attention from falling on himself. So now he pondered this, wondering what he could do -- and who would be a suitable victim.

[ooc: open if you have need of the ex-demon.]

"Oh, I'd be very impressed if she could. I'd also be very impressed if it actually did anything to me that I care about."

_{[[Tell his superiors. They'd want a sample and want to wait for more information on what Bel will do. He wouldn't tell anyone else in the school, as he A. Does not particularly care about anyone else and B. would not like to see something so interesting go down so quickly.]]}

"Don't press your luck," Bel said. "So, is there something you want?"

[The Source can shield himself, so maybe Schrodinger can try to scan him but it doesn't work -- in such a way that he knows it's being blocked, however. That work?]

"I just wanted to know if you'd mulled over my offer any longer."

_{[[It does! He'd be intrigued and hold increased observation of him.]]}

"I think I'm going to have to pass on it," Bel said. "I've found myself quite content with the way things are now."

"No worries over mortality? No worries over death? Not feeling weak? Helpless? Useless?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel's eyes narrowed a little, but he said, "Why would I want to be immortal if the people I care about are going to die around me?" he said. "I just realized I have to look at things from another perspective now. And I may not have my powers, but I can still be useful."

Schrodinger leaned forward, regarding Bel with scrutiny. "Very interesting to hear. As I understand it, most people don't have your self control."

Schrodinger drew his hand out of his pocket ever so slightly, glanced down with eyes, and pulled his hand out all the way to stretch his hands behind his head.

"Getting a fresh start on life can change a man," Bel said. "It's made me see what the important things really are."

Schrodinger smiled.

It was a smile that contained no warmth, no happiness, no real good feelings at all. It was full of sharp teeth, and could probably be best described as "predatory".

"Well then, I'm very happy for you. Not many get a second chance. I hope you don't waste it."

[demonbelthazor]

"Oh, I have absolutely no intention of doing that," Bel said with a cold smile of his own.

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"That's good!" Schrodinger said brightly. "Because, generally, you don't get more than one second chance."
