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.

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!
