[He really won't be. Crowley gives a soft, annoyed snort. ]

The fact it was someone else's answering machine is kind of a big clue not to touch it. Unless of course you normally go about listening to other people's messages.

...Besides, a warning sign would just make you want to touch it more.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Hey. Listening to people's messages is a perfectly legitimate way to gather information if you have no idea where the fuck you are.

[after saying that, he also slumps back down into the couch again.]

...Anyway. Should we go back to what we were talking about, or is the moment ruined?

[onlyanapple]

Ugh.

[Still that's better than talking about Hastur, so. ]

Yeah, sure. Where were we again?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he hadn't really had time to process the previous talk before they got derailed--so it's only in remembering now that he starts smirking again.]

You were proving me wrong? Exorcisms. Averting the end of the world, I think.

[onlyanapple]

Ah. Right. That

[Ugh. It makes him look like a loser. ]

I averted the end of the world, Hell got pissy at me and let's just say I'm in no rush to get home. Given what's waiting for me when I get there.

[Namely Duke Hastur. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Huh.

[and now that they're back on track, he cranes his neck to look back down the hallway--not that he expects to see anything there (glimpses of Hastur or otherwise). it's no Crow, he'd assumed, but... he doesn't really know for sure, does he? can demons have nightmares? do things still echo when he's forced to sit still?

he's jealous, but. this does make him feel a little better.]

And you aren't what you are by choice, are you.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives a shrug. ]

I talked to my Creator about it. He seems to think I made who I am now by my own choices, part of the Divine Plan.

I dunno. I'm just...different.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Mm. Sure wish I could get an answer on that one...

[being different, or... whether he's the way he is by choice or by design.]

[onlyanapple]

So do I, but I've come to accept that I'm probably never going to get one.
