[ He lazily turns his head, or at least as much as he can with his face still between the bars, and regards Dante. ]

Oh I'm not really a holy man. I'm just annoying them while I'm here. You know? For kicks. And-

[ His eyes go wide as another officer with bandages around his head passed while being assisted by another. ]

You! You bit me, you motherfucker! You bit a bishop, bitch! You're ass is getting double smited! FOR THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD! AND HE'S ARMED WITH A RIGHTEOUS SHOT GUN AND DRAGON'S BREATH YOU INBRED, CROSS-EYED, BUCKTOOTH, WINDOW LICKING, DICKHEADS!

[ Clearly if he was a holy man, he's been kicked out of the order. ]

They took away my metal cup so I have to be louder.

[It takes all of Dante's willpower and then some not to burst out laughing once Bishop starts preaching again. He can't stop himself from grinning like a madman. It's just too difficult for him to keep a straight face as that guard passes by. The expression on the officer's face is telling. The poor guy looks like he wants to deck Bishop right in the chops for screeching at him. It seems that "inbred" comment really struck too close to home for the poor guy.]

H-Holy shit, man. [He manages to choke out in between giggles.] You really sound like one of those evangelist preachers.

[Once he manages to breathe again, Dante peeks over at Bishop and shakes his head.]

So, how long are you going to play this out?

[getting_better]

I had to follow one of those crazy psychos around for five days while I was Havana. Turned out he was cooking and selling new kinds of ecstasy he called "the Words of God". His preaching was code for what kind he had on him that day. I had to listen to him for hours.

[ Sent that guy straight to hell, that he did. ]

Anyway, I overheard twiddle dee and twiddle numbnuts over yonder about keeping me in here for twenty four hours. Maybe twelve if I behave. Think I'll get it?

[ But when he woke up, he chose gremlin. ]

[demonrebel]

That explains it.

[His wry smirk only widens as he starts inspecting the bars. There's nothing particularly fancy about this ugly gray jail cell. Just a slabs of concrete with steel bars for the most part. Nothing too out of the ordinary considering that this prison doesn't even have surveillance cameras. A thoughtful hum escapes Dante as he wraps his hand around one of the bars.]

If you behave? [He shoots Bishop a glance as he tightens his grip on the bars.] We both know that's not happening, right?

[Dante lets out a soft grunt as he slowly starts to crush the steel bars within his barehand. It would've been much easier if he was in his devil form but he's a little underpowered right now. However, Dante can still bend steel relatively easily.]

Just give me a few seconds--

[getting_better]

What?

[ He looks at the bars and hear the distinct protesting sound of metal against force. ]

Wait! Wait! No! Stop!

[ He leans in to whisper. ]

I'm in here because I was harboring kappa. Kappa that are still in here somewhere. If I leave then these coppers might slap 'em with something.

[ Then he rolls his eyes and sighs. ]

Plus, I know someone here and if I leave, she's gonna be twice as angry with me - if that's possible - and I'm not prepare to deal with that.
