[Dr. O] Tell me about the car crash.
[Fei Sunzi] We were following a pack of Sabbat, the hunter's hunters.
[O] Because you were hunting...Dances with Blood.
[FSz] Not hunting. Not yet. I needed to ascertain his tactics, his talents.
[O] Because you think he deserves to die.
[FSz] He deserves the Good Death. He is a good assassin, but full of uncontrolled violence.
[O] What about when you were...following him?
[FSz] I discovered that Bryn, the wilderness vampire. She was seeking out Dances, so I offered my assistance.
[O] She sounds like a dangerous individual. Why did you choose to associate with her?
[FSz] I needed powerful allies, and all powerful beings are dangerous. She came when I had made the decision to give Dances the Good Death, so I saw it as Fate.
[O] So you decided not to continue on the list of names?
[FSz] For the moment. I had also decided that nothing truly linked each name to the rest. I concluded that Senex merely wanted us to find them to set events in motion. Angelo/Xuanciel was merely a catalyst, not the solution.
[O] Solution to what?
[FSz] Healing the Great Wheel of the world. Euthanatoi are the surgeons of Karma, of Fate. We are to make sure that every gear in the machine universe turns when it has to, and not when it shouldn't.
[O] Do you think it was Fate that caused the truck to crash into the building? What about the deal with the devil?p>
[FSz] I accept the responsibilities for the bad decisions in following the Sabbat, though not the decision itself to follow. I accept the responsibilities in accepting the gift from the asura.
[O] You thought of it as a gift? Not an exchange?
[FSz] The asura didn't ask for anything in return. He merely warned me never to use his name against him, or suffer the consequences.
[O] But you still think that you shouldn't have accepted the gift?
[FSz] It created a stronger connection between me and Xuanciel. This would make things harder. I was risking Jhor for being...intertwined with his Wheel.
[O] And what about your connection to Dances?
[FSz] I risked Jhor with him also. I must admit that I felt a particular joy preventing him from escaping that burning building. Perhaps it would make him reevaluate his path if he realized that his Fate was in another person's hands...
