"I do believe I asked you first, my kind sir." It was a struggle for him to remain polite. He was itching to pull out his razors and attack, but the appearance of the new female made him pause. if he killed the other man, he'd have to kill her, too. "And I would greatly appreciate it if you answer me. Who are you!?" Lovett was a woman. She could sense things. Like how the other woman was not to be trusted or liked in any way. She glared back at the other Lovett, icy blue eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Y'know, 'they' have names," she snapped. She latched onto her Todd, partly to make sure the other woman wouldn't take him, and partly to keep him from pulling out his razors too soon. She couldn't let him reveal them before they even found out who the newcomers were.

Sweeney glared for a moment, but then composed himself with a tiny smirk and gave a cute little bow that would make any fangirl swoon. "Sweeney Todd, at your service," he said in his quietly calm voice. He was keeping his temper in check for the moment. He had to stay composed. Be carefull, don't expose yourself, he thought to himself. "The name's Lovett," said murderess said promptly, still glaring as she took a step closer to her Sweeney. Her hair was darker than this person's, and a bit messier, but she couldn't help but feel there was some connection between them. She wasn't sure what that was though.

Todd's eyes narrowed into tiny grey slits. "Oh NO you don't!" he hissed, wrenching his arm free from his Lovett's grasp to take a step forwards towards the other Sweeney. "You can't fool me, you impostor! I'm Sweeney Todd, aka Benjamin Barker, the EXILE thanks to that damned judge!" He didn't like how this other man just took his name. And what was wrong with his hair? If this other man was supposed to be him, why was his hair all messy like that? Seriously, what barber had messy hair? Todd glared at the other with a look of pure hatred on his face. His Lovett couldn't react in time to what he did next: he reached into his pocket, pulled out his razor, and lunged at the other Sweeney with a growl. Lovett glared at the other. "Nellie Lovett?" she questioned. This was too much of a coincidence. Why did the newcomers share her and Todd's names? If she found the person who organized this cruel joke, she'd kill. Luckily, she had no clue that Tim was the one who had directed a movie version of their story, so he was safe. For now. Until he decided to check up on the insane mass murderers to make sure they were out of trouble. When that happened... well... Lovett would do what she did best. Cook meat pies. With a new flavor: Movie director.

Sweeney snatched his razor out of his little belt thingymabob, flicking it open in a flash. If you blinked you would have missed it. His free hand reached for the other's occupied hand to stop its progress. "I'M Sweeney Todd, escaped from prison to get revenge on that foul judge for ruining my life!" he snarled, no longer quiet. He could get quite loud when he was angry, and it was unneccesary to say that he was ticked. "Yeah, wot's it to ya?" Lovett growled coldly. She was trying to ignore whatever was happening between the two Todds, but it was difficult to ignore ONE demon barber, let alone two. Why the hell did this person want to know her first name? Who the hell would care? Of course...if it was the same as the two Sweeneys, they might have a problem. A big problem.

Lovett made a face. "Jus' curious, love." Quietly, she added, "Damn it... If this is a cruel joke or somethin', I swear I'll hurt whoever's behind it." She then rolled her eyes at the dueling Todds. "Mr. T likes 'is razor, y'know. 'E's good at killin' wit' it, too." She was planning on acting somewhat pleasant until it was a good time to dispose of the other Lovett. "No you're not. YOU, my kind sir, are impersonating the wrong man!" Todd was more than a little peeved. He jerked his hand away and twisted aside, trying to find the perfect time to slash at the other's throat. He'd show HIM who was a demon barber! His actions were fueled with rage at the judge, and pain from losing the two loved ones in his life. Mostly pain, though. He had sworn he lost his heart, but th mere thought of Lucy or Johanna made it ache, so he had quickly scrapped that idea. It had been fifteen long years while his daughter grew up with that filthy judge, not knowing her father, her mother... Dead was what his Lovett had claimed. Had poisoned herself. And he hadn't been there to stop her, to take away her pain. He was a horrible husband. The thought made him howl with pain as he slashed wildly at the other Todd with his razor. He just wanted to hurt the other man as badly as he could.

"Oh REALLY? If you're the REAL Todd, then proove it!" Sweeney roared, slashing madly with his own razor while he blocked the other's blows with his hand. Hey, better his hand than his throat. He knew that for sure. What was the other Todd's PROBLEM? He was the real Sweeney Todd! He wouldn't even try to impersonate someone with as horrible a life as himself. Who would want to be a person who lost everything? Just the thought, loosing everything, made him blanch. He should have been there for his family instead of in that prison for no reason! Lovett's eyes were narrowed, but she nodded. "That 'e is," she muttered, obviously talking about her own Todd. She couldn't help that her eyes softened every time she looked at him. And she'd just looked at him. Ever time she did it felt like she was melting. Cura was watching this all through wide eyes. She could tell both Sweeneys were in pain, the kind of pain she couldn't help. And that made her feel helpless. Her wings buzzed nervously, eyes widening further. She didn't know where to go anymore.

"How in the HELL am I s'posed to prove that!?" Todd snarled. "I hated those fifteen long years! Exiled to AUSTRALIA, of all places! Just so the damn Judge could take my Lucy and..." He turned his face away, so the other Sweeney wouldn't see how upset he was about that. He blocked the other man's blows with his razor. He could slash his throat later. Lovett blinked, then raised an eyebrow at the other Lovett. "You told 'im yet?" she asked, obviously asking if the other Lovett had told her Sweeney that she liked him. "Men don't understand when you try to give 'em clues, y'know. 'Specially demon barbers, they're th'worst."

"No, he won't stop talkin' 'bout that damned Judge long enough for a decent conversation," Lovett growled, obviously not happy about that. She'd tried to tell him about a million times, and each time he went off ranting about the Judge or how people were full of shit. It was infuriating! Sweeney balked, taking a small step back from the other barber. It was painfull to even hear other people talking about that. He couldn't even talk about that. He did think about it however, and often. There was nothing he thought about more. If it hadn't been for that judge, he'd have a nice, happy familly, and a life. That DAMN judge had stolen his whole reason for being!

Todd, with watery eyes, turned back to the other Sweeney, tossing his razor aside as he did so. Lovett, used to having things thrown at her, caught the razor and then hesitantly asked, "Is everythin' all right, Mr. T?" "Lovett, if you would be so kind as to... tell this man the secret to your meat pies..." aka kill him, "it would be greatly appreciated." Let Lovett dispose of the other Sweeney, take none of the blame himself. Perfect plan.

Lovett's eyes narrowed as she stepped between her counterpart and her own Sweeney. Her eyes were clearly saying 'touch him and you die'. Right now her own Sweeney was completely useless, lost in the confines of his mind as he lost himself in what he couldn't forget, though she tried very hard to help him forget. It was infuriating that he wallowed in the past so much, but still, she put up with it. "Mr. Todd? Are you okay?" she hissed over her shoulder. When she got no responce at all, she rolled her eyes. It was like when computer froze, you couldn't get him to respond for nothin'. She grabbed the razor herself, gripping it in her hand.

Lovett crept closer to the other Lovett and Sweeney. Her Todd had told her to pretty much get rid of the other. She didn't dare disobey. Who wanted a demon barber angry at you? Lovett didn't. She pointed her razor at the other Lovett, then blinked as it was snatched from her hand. Todd had regained possession of his razor once he realized the other's razor wasn't in his hands. With an animal-like shriek of fury, he leaped at the other Sweeney, eager to draw his blade across the other's throat. The other Sweeney had angered him by claiming he was Sweeney- everyone knew that HE was the true Sweeney! He didn't like it when others claimed to be him, obviously.

Lovett panicked-you would too if your crush was about to get killed-and shoved him out of the way, but ended up stumbling herself and it ended up one of those awkward moments where the person doing the saving ends up landing on top of the other. She pushed herself up as fast as she could manage, shoving the razor back into his hands as she shot a glare of hatred at their counterparts. NO ONE put her Sweeney in danger! Though she usually let Sweeney do the violent stuff, she very much wanted that razor in her hand. Sweeney, reacting quickly once he'd gotten his senses back, raised his razor to not only block the blow from his counterpart but also to attack, going for his throat. Sweeney Todds were so predictable.

Todd had frantically tossed the razor aside when he had found the other Lovett in front of him instead of the other Sweeney. He didn't like killing women. They weren't nearly as bad as men were. Even if a select few needed to die as quickly as possible. He shot a quick glare at his Lovett, still peeved that she was trying to take Lucy's place. But then he froze, scrambling backwards as the other Sweeney gained possession of the razor. Why hadn't he just attacked the other Lovett? Why had he let go of his razor? Todd panicked quietly as he backed away as quickly as he could. There was NO WAY he was going to try to fight someone with a razor when he himself was weaponless.

Lovett was still glaring, but she stepped back so that she was behind her Sweeney. "Who're the fakes now?" she taunted. "Can you believe they thought we was fakes?" she asked of her Sweeney. He didn't reply-he was too busy glaring hate at the other Todd. Lovett frowned in frustration. He NEVER listened to her! She put her hands on her hips, making a small throat-clearing noise. He hardly glanced at her, and that just made her angrier. She crossed her arms and looked away in frustration. Men were such IDIOTS!

Todd's hands were protectively covering his throat as he glared back. "Thee has to be some perfectly rational explanation for all this," he said slowly. "I know I'm not a fake. I'm not sure about Lovett, though. Who knows if she's a demon sent from the fiery pits of Hell to torment me for what I have done?" Lovett had picked up his razor and kept it out of Todd's grasp. No sense in having him fight the other Sweeney yet again. Their fights were so predictable it was boring. Grab the razor, try to slit the other's throat. "Mr. T, y'know it's me. I'm not fakin', love. If I was, you'd-a killed me already."
