Cruel and Unusual Punishment

[birthmural]

Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan, was not present during the orchestrated attempt to take the captive Yeerk's life. That did not stop him from going to the precinct, to the prisoners, and delivering a sermon that was a great deal more fire and brimstone than most sermons, if not all.

The topic, if you could distinguish a coherent basis for Daimon's mad words, was centered around the ever popular Good Samaritan story. Daimon told the prisoners of the background of the Good Samaritan, how Samaritans were viewed as the enemy back then, and how the Samaritan had helped a man despite the hatred both peoples bore for the other.

But it was hard to focus on that given how loud he was. That and how his hair was periodically engulfed by flame.

Bella has been watching with flattened ears. You're LOUD, Daimon! She doesn't really understand what he's yelling about, just that he's yelling and mad and it has something to do with her. Kind of.

But, she's evidently curious. The werewolf waits until Daimon's done speaking, tilts her head to one side, and says, "You have a fire spirit on your head."

Daimon had stopped for several deep breaths before going on an even longer tirade when Bella spoke. He looked at her. "It is not a fire spirit."

"Oh."

She tilts her head to the other side, staring intently. "Then what is it and why does it do that?"

Pause.

"Does it not cause you hurt?"

"It is part of my body and it does not hurt." Daimon said curtly.

He did not want to explain why his head burst into flame. That was not why he was there.

"Is the fire just on your head or is there fire on the inside?"

Apparently they're not letting the flaming head thing go.

"Do you pee fire?"

"That would be really painful," Tim commented dryly. "Like kidney stones or a bladder infection. Forever."

"SILENCE! Of all the ridiculous questions you imbeciles could ask me!"

The head-on-fire thing is very interesting, and when Marcus glances over at Daimon's head the fire looks much more... blue than it should. "Fire shouldn't be that temperature." he says offhandedly, giving no other sign of actually paying attention to Daimon.

"For the- it is not FIRE. How many times must I say this!" At this rate he would need to make an announcement over the omnicoms.

"Looks like fire to me." Marcus says, deadpan.

"Dude, spare us the sermon, all right?" Sam interjected. He'd been hearing lectures about the 'rightness' of killing the Yeerk the whole while he'd been detained during the trial and they had gotten old quickly. He didn't look forward to hearing another, especially when he'd been giving himself his own lecture as it was.

"We've heard it. We know. So, give the dead horse a break already, will ya?"

"Do you, Sam Winchester? You have heard but you have not listened! Are you sorry? Do you feel no remorse for what you have done?"

"Yes, I do. What the hell kind of person do you think I am? People got hurt because of me. I hurt people. I feel sorry about that every second that goes by, all right? We all do! So, save us the sanctimonious speeches and just get out of here, ok?"

Roxie had come just to visit Katara, and had gotten caught up in the spectacle—like watching a car wreck on the side of the road.

"... that must take some interesting shampoo to maintain."

[birthmural]

Dear God, it was her.

Daimon narrowed his eyes. "You."

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

"Me?"

[cowsquirtdrinkr.livejournal.com]

"For the love of all that is good down to slightly altruistic neutral,w ould you knock that off already."

[birthmural]

Daimon did not hesitate before replying. "No."

[cowsquirtdrinkr.livejournal.com]

"That wasn't a request. Stop antagonizing the prisoners."

"You're so not one to talk, Mr. Flamey Hair." Xander grumbled from his cell. He was grumpy because you dare WAKE him from his nap!

[birthmural]

"Am I? I am not the one who tried to kill a defenseless creature, as disgusting as it may be. I know my own failings, and there are many, but that is not one of them."

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

"Defenseless? Yeah, you want defenseless, how about all of us who had those slugs swimming in our brains? It was contained but not defenseless. If it got out, it could have possessed any of us again."

Katara doesn't say a word, but her body said it all. While she was sitting cross legged, she was frowning, her hands now in her lap.

"It's very hard to meditate when an irate wanbnabe firebender keeps interrupting you for no good reason!" She erupted. "You're very rude, could you please get out of here!"

[birthmural]

"No." Daimon returned to his fiery sermon, although with his darksoul now submerged for the time, there was much less literal fire involved.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

That tore it. Katara got up, anger clearly apparent on her face.

"Listen you," she said hotly, "We're already dealing with our own personal feelings about what happened out there. We don't need you coming here and making us feel worse! You may as well just admit that the reason you're here is for yourself anyway!"
