004 - Friends in Low Places
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.

Okay, that was supposed to be dramatic, but I've never heard of it. Is "Eden" the original planet Humans came from, or something?
[she's thinking progenitor-race genetic engineering scifi junk SORRY CROWLEY.]
video
It was where it all Began, but the planet is called Earth.
video
I dunno, telling people you were around at the start of the universe is still pretty impressive once you clarify it. Anyway, why just Humans?
[STILL... BEING SCIFI HERE.]
video
Because Earth is what I know, before all the other dimension bullshit. I was stationed there. Humans are pretty big there.

[If 'observers' could also meddle. ]
I've seen a lot of other species, between here and Paradisa. Most of them are pretty much the same. Live by a system of morals they can stretch when they choose, tend to flock together with likeminded people, have a dangerous propensity towards hope. Biggest difference is some have superpowers, some don't.
And yes, all about as likely to drink in graveyards.
video
I wouldn't think that hope is a dangerous thing, is it?
[Skeptical, but curious.]
video
It's the most dangerous thing I know. Not always a bad thing, but certainly dangerous. It makes people believe even the most desperate situations are something they can fight against. Makes them fight even when they haven't got the slightest chances of winning.
[At least he sounds oddly fond. ]
A plucky sort of stick-to-it-iveness.
video
But the light side always wins!! you know, eventually.She definitely catches the fond note in the grim assessment.]There is usually a slight chance, though. Or you can make one... [She's probably proving his point.] I think every living thing needs a little of that. Otherwise there wouldn't be any left.
