by Red WolfMr Vandemar leaned against the wall picking his nails with a large knife as the erudite Mr Croup enlightened a terrified man about their intentions. Duplicity wasn't their strong suit, nor were threats.
People often mistook their somewhat blunt statements about the future location and condition of bodily organs as intimidation. These little misunderstandings were soon rectified with the judicial application of one or more sharp implements.
"Is it time to be killing things yet, Mr Croup?"
"Why, yes, I do believe it is, Mr Vandemar."
In a short period of time, a very large quantity of blood was spilled.

There is always a blitheness with which you address grotesque situations that frankly, terrifies me. And keeps me coming back for more — via LiveJournal

Alley!verse aside, my Spike and Dawn adventures are usually light and humourous, but I really enjoy playing with the things that can bite back. That's probably why I'm drawn to Croup and Vandemar in general and Mr Vandemar in particular — via LiveJournal

Those two are so creepy in their cheerful professionalism. (And one of the best parts of the book, too.) You write them well — via LiveJournal

Thanks.
Funny how everyone always classes Neverwhere as a book, the mini series came first, but I don't think it screened in the US. Stunningly visual show — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 12.04.2004 12:54 AEST |

Never seen the show (and yeah, I'm pretty sure nobody broadcast it in America), but I did read and enjoy the book. Gaiman does have a way with visuals, even in prose... — via LiveJournal

A&E released it on DVD, region 0, so everyone can enjoy it. Neil Gaiman does the commentary too — via LiveJournal

heh, empty threats are a tool of the weak. Fulfilled threats, however, are merely a statement of intent. And everyone deserves to know what will be done, whether or not they believe what they're told.

They aren't ones for the threats. If they've been sent for you there's a good chance you will soon be very dead — via deviantART

I realize that it's hard to stay on topic within a 100-word drabble, but as it is, it kind of rambles on in different directions. *shrugs* It's violent and dark and in character; what else is there to say? Good piece. — via fanfiction.net
