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.

Being petty is a job?

[oh, Tek. he still thinks Crowley must be kidding.]

[onlyanapple]

No, being a demon is a job. It's my job.

[heresyandlace]

I thought demon was your species.

[onlyanapple]

And it's my job. It's an all-encompassing title.

[heresyandlace]

I had no idea that demons had jobs.

Was it one of those created-for-a-purpose type of things, or something else?

[onlyanapple]

Oh yes, a very well paid one, too. No one wants to be stationed on the surface all the time.

Well, if we're going to be technical, the other side [he points upwards] created me. Though I suppose He was in on it the whole time. Grand Plan, and all that.

[heresyandlace]

Oh?

[he actually looks genuinely curious about it. he's so close to actually understanding the whole thing, using bits and pieces he's gathered from other demons and one certain angel.]

[onlyanapple]

[At least Crowley doesn't especially mind explaining it.]

How familiar are you with the Bible? Before we get into...all that.

[heresyandlace]

It seemed very popular, judging by how many copies there were in the great library of one of my last little prisons.

I'll admit that I couldn't bring myself to read much of it, however. Very dry.

[onlyanapple]

It's exceptionally dry.

Anyway, my part is the first. When the Guy Upstairs created, well, everything. He created his angels before Earth, though, and that's where I came from.
