004 - Friends in Low Places

[onlyanapple]

Who: Crowley and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Right now!

[Crowley isn't in his usual place, lounging before the communications array aboard the Pathstone. Today, he seems to be wandering one of the big, empty spaces within the Iskaulit, looking around him with a small level of appraisal. ]

Back in Paradisa, there were a number of bars around the place. Gave people a place to go spend time, drown their sorrows, maybe people watch, or just sit in a corner and ignore the fact they were trapped in a magical soul-eating castle. One of my favourite places was a bar called the Lux. Great place, that.

[He wanders over to one part of the room, holding one hand out like he's trying to judge the space. ]

Discounting the fleeting places we end up on our travels, we haven't got anywhere like that here. Our own Drift Fleet captives place. Seen as we have this floating lot of empty space following us now, we might as well use it. So this is me, laying claim to this space for a bar that will be named at a later date. Something classy, I think.

Of course, work isn't my thing, so anyone interested in joining me in this grand and marvellous enterprise? I'd say I'll make it worth your while, but I think having our own bar will do that all by itself.

Neat! I'd really like to help out, then. I miss it a lot.

[ tho mostly she just ended up using the restaurant to stock illegal rations when some of the stricter wartime rules came down. ]

[onlyanapple]

Then consider yourself hired once we actually get this shack up and running.

[thebarkside]

Alright. Uh -

[ she waves a little vaguely. ]

Jade Harley, on the Wonderduck.

[onlyanapple]

Nice to meet you. Name's Crowley, on the Pathstone.

[video]

[thebarkside]

Oh, I know. Uh - the "Crowley" part, I mean. I knew you in Paradisa. Knew of you? I'd seen you around.

[video]

[onlyanapple]

[That gets a chuckle. ]

People tend to know of me there. I'm glad to know my reputation continued to precede me.

[video]

[thebarkside]

[ and it gets him an apologetic half-shrug. ]

I don't really remember Paradisa that well in general. I'm mostly just surprised that I do at all. I kind of assumed all these worlds we're allegedly in were just splintered timelines.

[video]

[onlyanapple]

That's...quite possible. Makes sense you wouldn't remember it all that well. I have gaps in my memory, too. I think the Augment does it.

[video]

[thebarkside]

You think so? I remember Asgard just fine. Have you forgotten more things since you've been here?

[ SHOULD SHE START WRITING DOWN the important stuff... ]

[video]

[onlyanapple]

Asgard? So you've been to more than one of these places?

No. At least...I'm pretty sure I haven't.

[video]

[thebarkside]

Yup. I didn't remember Paradisa at all until I'd been here a couple months, either.

[video]

[onlyanapple]

Did you get a bang on the head or something? Anything to trigger the memories coming back?

[video]

[thebarkside]

[ she winces very slightly here. ]

I did get a mild concussion, yes.

[video]

[onlyanapple]

Huh, seems that stays the same regardless of where we go. Interesting.

[video]

[thebarkside]

Yeah? Folks in Asgard just... tended to fall asleep. Or disappear and come back.

[ she shrugs one shoulder. ]

Kind of dumb.

[video]

[onlyanapple]

Huh. They got it easy, then. Lucky bastards.
