[That heavy head is pinning him to the mattress, and he's fine with it. It's comfortable, lying like this.
To Alucard's comments regarding the beach, he makes another thoughtful sound. He's stepped into the water himself. As far as he can tell, there's nothing immediately amiss about it.]
There might be repercussions for straying too close to the water? Or if they take a dip, perhaps a Wicked Witch of the West occurs?
[Forgive his wording; some of the children in Rome liked that movie.]
One of these days, we ought to throw a LIEs employee in there, see what happens.
[ at least he's not trying to lick anderson's hands like baskerville does. he'll save that for being saucy in a human form, thanks. for now, just snuggling.
he'd smile, if he could, at the reference. he's seen the movie, once, when integra was small, so at least he gets it. ]
Imagine, if that were why.
[ he barks (hah) a laugh at the idea, tongue running along sharp teeth lazily as he settles back in. he likes the sound of it, and his tail is still going, and he knows it's silly, but-- ]
Dibs on first throw. Unless you want to do it together. If they don't die, I can make them think they just fell in on accident. It's a perfect crime.
[He could do that dumb, dog smile that looks vaguely guilty, but in their current position, Anderson wouldn't be able to appreciate it anyway.]
Oh? You'll make them think they accidentally fell across thirty or so feet of sand, through the shallows, and into the deep of the water? Truly, it's an infallible plan.
[He's teasing, obviously in a good mood.
He lets his hand stroke idly down Alucard's back while he speaks again.]
Making them think they fell in one of those ponds in the Up might work.
As long as they believe it, it doesn't matter how plausible it is. In fact, the more implausible, the more likely they are to get headaches trying to process it into something that makes sense, so let me be petty.
[ he's teasing too, but it's true. those people could use a good migraine as punishment. his back does a little arch as anderson pets him but then he's flopping again, truly content. ]
Though, if you want to go for ease, I suppose that works. Though, honestly, hopefully they just drown.
I don't doubt it. They've ensured this place is well isolated.
[Apparently there is a means of getting to a place called Veracity, but that location hasn't been made available to them yet, assuming it ever will be.
He gives a wry smile at Alucard's comment.]
I wouldn't be opposed. I want to say we're fighting Eris, in spirit, but as we have actual figures from mythology here, it doesn't quite work. We assigned Millennium Mars, if you're curious.
[The 9th Crusade didn't quite work out, but hey... it was a good effort.]
And you know perfectly well we can't, as much as I might like to.
It's bigger than my normal prisons, but it's a prison nonetheless.
[ veracity is on his mind, once in a while, but he's not particularly inclined to want to go there, after what happened in the fort. still, it exists, and so too must other cities... right? it's a thought for other times.
he snorts. of course he wouldn't be opposed. ]
Mm. Mars was fitting. The appearance of mythological figures here does make it more difficult to put a name to it, though. Maybe we'll come up with something as time goes on. Something that won't become a problem when that figure happens to appear a week later.
[ this though, earns him a huffy, sulky noise. he really wants to kill that guy. ]

[ alucard, that's awful. oh, he's going to keep going. ]
A tragic accident. No one could have seen it coming. Lost at sea. What a way to go.
no subject
I've noticed anything that washes out to sea eventually ends up back on the beach. No body retrieval required.
[He rakes his fingers down Alucard's spine, since he seems to enjoy it.]
Of course, we could always tie them into a sack full of bricks before throwing them in.
[Enjoy that awful reference to the murder of anabaptists.]

[ he huffs a pleased sound, then pulls back a bit to look at him with all six eyes, which is weird, but also, like, really? ]
Shall we call it a crusade next?
[ ah, but he's teasing. think of all the turks he impaled. he burrows back against anderson's shoulder again, sighing. ]
I want to throw Thomas into the sea. Let's put him in with some bricks.
[ no, alucard, you can't murder the vampire fetishist. ]

Other methods?
[ no, you can't impale him either!!! ]
