002 - In a pretty cabinet

[onlyanapple]

Who: Crowley and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleet wide - if you want it or not.
Action: Pathstone
When: Now


[The feed opens to an (as usual) very bored Crowley. He's sitting at his communications workstation, and he's holding something vaguely CD-box shaped. He gives the screen a cheery wave. ]

So. I ended up being dragged though into that stupid temple. A lot of boring things happened there, mostly involving being stuck on the M6 Orbital. Trust me, it's worse than it probably sounds. Anyway, I was given a gift for my troubles, and gifts, like horrible jokes, are made for sharing.

[He reaches over and presses a button. Throughout your networks, if you have them turned on or not, you will suddenly hear the beginnings of The Greatest Hits of a certain popular British band. ~Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?~ It seems Crowley has finally used his augment for something other than listening into your conversations. If you don't have a helpful comms officer on board, good luck getting rid of it. It won't stop.

He smiles and gives a cheery salute, offering as parting words:]

Enjoy, suckers.

I suppose you'll have to ask yourself if you really want to know the answer or not.

[ladiesss]

[she tries to say no. she really does. she doesn't want to know. ...but oh, she does want to know. how bad could it be? probably not as bad as the vampire with the evil demon thing taking up half of his soul-space and plotting to take over the world.]

I think I really want to know the answer.

[onlyanapple]

I'm a demon. I'm from Hell. I just happen to live and work on Earth.

You know, for Satan. Marking souls for him and all that.

[ ]At least he sounds pretty uninterested in it?]

[ladiesss]

...Huh. Like in Constantine?

[to be fair, she doesn't sound all that hyped up about it either.]

[onlyanapple]

...I don't think I've...read that? Seen it?

I don't know what it is.

[It sucks being from 1990 sometimes.]

[ladiesss]

It's a movie. Well, it's actually a comic book series, and people get mad when you say it's a movie because it's way different, but that's a totally other story.

Demon, huh. Okay. [nodding to herself.] Are you, like, on active duty? Or are you taking it easy on account of everything being kind of weird right now?

[onlyanapple]

...About demons?

[He chuckles.] You could say I'm in a state of semi-retirement. Between here and Paradisa, I haven't been home and working for Hell for five, six years? I just do stuff like this to keep me active.

[ladiesss]

Yeah, kinda.

[more nodding...]

Okay, cool. As long as you're not trying to take over the world or whatever, I won't make it into a thing. Not that you could really, since there are probably a million of them and we kind of skirt past them pretty fast.

[onlyanapple]

Nah, I'm more into living on worlds. Taking them over requires far too much effort and gets horribly messy. Just point me to some alcohol and a decent bed and I'm content.

[Worst demon ever.]

[ladiesss]

Aw. Well, that was easy. [she is totally all right with this.] So, back to Queen. Why is it Queen?

[onlyanapple]

Because the Guy Upstairs has a sense of humour, I expect.

[ladiesss]

...But why Queen? Does he like Queen a lot?

[onlyanapple]

Maybe? Or maybe He thinks I like Queen a lot. My car, back home [probably still on the grounds of Paradisa now. Felix better be taking care of her] she'd turn every tape I had into a Best of Queen album if it stayed in the car for over a fortnight.

[ladiesss]

That's... Oddly specific. I'm not sure whether I should say that's awesome or that it sucks...

[onlyanapple]

Little of both. I miss being able to listen to other things, but I suppose it gives the Bentley even more charm.

[ladiesss]

Haha, well. It's probably inappropriate, but thank you for the flashbacks.

[onlyanapple]

You're welcome!
