[Crowley continues, speaking in an oddly detached manner. As if he's recalling the plot of a movie. Something not real. He doesn't WANT it to be real.]

We were on this ship called the Event Horizon. Stuck there. Usual world changing bullshit. This one had a portal to Hell in it, though, and after a few days it opened and things went...really shitty.

[he nods along, keeping his mouth shut for now. he understands just barely enough about the mythologies from earth--both from his time spent in the library back in the tower, and from what Crowley himself has explained--to follow along with the 'Hell' concept.]

Anyway.

It made me- lose it. I wasn't myself. It fucked about with most people's heads. I ended up killing someone. Ripped her head right off her shoulders.

[He's staring, blankly, at the floor, like this is someone else's story. It's not, though, and the guilt lays heavily on him. ]

...And that's not your style, I am beginning to gather.

[at least he's catching on to the fact that Crowley is much different than other demons he's met in the past.]

[Crowley pulls a face. ]

No.

[The denial is a vehement, disgusted hiss. ]

I don't kill people. It's messy and pointless.

[heresyandlace]

You do hate a mess, don't you.

[and he drums his fingers on his arm for a moment, keeping any further thoughts on the subject to himself.]

[onlyanapple]

Of course I do. Takes forever to clean and what do you get out of it? Nothing, that's what.

[Careful, Crowley, your morality is showing. ]

[heresyandlace]

[it really is.]

There are many people who would disagree with that, you know.

[onlyanapple]

Well, I don't much care. Still going to keep my opinion on the matter.
