[video/action] 253 - & devil's compass mingle
[The Devil's Compass is no longer littered with candles, save perhaps a few on the bar that add a little something to the dim lighting that recreates the old-world style of tavern the place is modeled after. It's actually quite clean otherwise, with Tyki lounging in one of the booths with a bent knee up on the seat and the camera looking at him sitting there with a cigarette drooping out of the corner of his mouth.]

If you haven't been to the Devil's Compass yet for the drink or my company, I'll give you two further incentives.

[Sidelong he reaches to crush out the cigarette, a plume of smoke coiling upward.]

One, there's fresh pie thanks to the lovely Charlotte.

[His eyes flick up to the camera with a dangerous glint while his lips curl.] Second, this week we've also got a barmaid. She doesn't bite but she might scratch.

[And so Tyki's bar is open as always but with a mingle! And for the next week Kitty Pryde (the elder) will be roped into being the Compass' barmaid due to a bet gone wrong. Tyki will be exceptionally cheerful about this, more often behind the bar than usual (which in itself is fairly often) at least while she's on the job. This means he'll be rather friendly and talkative. Best time to meet him, really. He'll have a thread right here.]

	Uh...yeah. I think I know what you mean. [As a fellow demon vanquisher. Except when he gets their blood on him it's really their meat suit's. The innocent human they possessed. He gives a little head bob and head off to the bar for a minute before returning with a cosmo on the rocks for her and a bottle of beer for himself.] Is it okay if I sit?

	[She smiled a bit at his moment of sympathy, nodding back at him as he headed off to get their drinks. She waved her hand at the other chair when he came back.] Sure. Go ahead. [She took the cosmo with a grateful smile.] Have you thought about the next class, yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-13 04:42 am UTC (link)
	I've thought about it. Maybe djinn. Maybe another class on ghosts. I should probably figure that out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-13 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Djinn... you mean like genies? You have them, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-13 06:38 am UTC (link)
	Like genies who grant you the illusion of wishes to feed on your blood while you're distracted. What are they like where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-14 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	They what? Woah. No way. Ours just grant wishes, but in tricky and annoying ways. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-16 03:34 am UTC (link)
	Well, doing it to be fed on is pretty tricky and very annoying. [A little smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-16 05:58 am UTC (link)
	[That got a little bit of a dry laugh.] Yeah. I would think so, too, but ours aren't as... cannibalistic. Or human-vores. [It was the best term she could think of.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-17 03:56 am UTC (link)
	Humanvores? [He laughs a little. Is that a thing he should laugh at? Probably not, but it broke some surface tension he didn't realize he was carrying around with him.] Nice term. Yours sound more like pranksters maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She wasn't going to tell him he couldn't laugh. It was nice to be able to joke a little about things like that, even if it was wildly inappropriate.]

Thanks.

Yeah... you could call them that. You get the whole lamp and bottle thing. Whoever holds the lamp or bottle is the genie's master. You get three wishes. You just have to be really careful about how you use those wishes. They tend to interpret them really loosely.

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-17 06:01 am UTC (link)
	Seriously? The lamp? [Still looking a little amused.] So they're the reason people say be careful what you wish for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-17 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. We had the bottle one for a while, too. My sister found it. There was more behind it than just us finding a genie bottle, but it was really awkward. We had to watch what we said. He turned one of my sisters back into a teenage, turned my ex-boyfriend into an old man... it was just frustrating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-18 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Wow. [He can kind of picture that. It sounds like the kind of thing that would happen to him and Dean.] They got turned back, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-18 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, they were. Thankfully. We worked out a deal with the genie, actually. He was being used by a demon to get to us. We ended up really lucky that he was willing to turn on the demon in exchange for his freedom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-19 03:00 am UTC (link)
	That's something. Do you think he went on messing with people after that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-19 05:52 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure. We never heard about that one again. I'm sure there are others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-19 06:19 am UTC (link)
	[He nods, wondering how safe it was to let him go, but also not wanting to end more lives than have to be ended which is already a lot from his perspective.] It seems like our worlds have a lot in common while still being different in a lot of ways. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. That's one way of putting it. [She chuckled a little.]

But, hey... if you're ever interested in material for a class, though, I'd be happy to share.

[She was by herself here, so she wasn't worried so much at this point about people finding out. Weird powers were almost normal.]

Just don't expect me to actually teach the class.

[That was something she didn't do.]

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-19 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	[He smiles at that.] Actually, I was just thinking we should teach one together to show a different perspective. Maybe you could just give me your findings and then help field the questions? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-20 06:44 am UTC (link)
	[She considered it.] I wouldn't mind so much doing it as a team effort. [She'd been thinking of the few times that a guest instructor had come in and run the whole class.] That's okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-20 06:58 am UTC (link)
	Is there a topic you'd rather talk about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-20 09:01 am UTC (link)
	Good question. I think we should pick something that we definitely have in common, but is different. Though, we should also decide if we want to go over something that you've already taught about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-22 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Sure. Good points. Or... We could talk about witches? [Is this a weird subject?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-01-22 05:54 am UTC (link)
	[Probably, because Sam just got a weird look.] Uh... Well, yeah. You have witches back home... right? [She seemed a little reluctant and nervous about the idea.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-22 05:57 am UTC (link)
	[He gets too many looks like that.] Sure. Witches and Hoodoo priests. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
