I have been in this time for a few days now, and while many things have changed, even more have stayed the same. Beauty is still coveted - I can feel eyes moving over me now, as they never have. What a thing, to be prized! Nobody has ever looked at me this way, save one (though he prized me for reasons other than my looks). And it's strangely comforting to see that mankind's capacity for cruelty is still intact. And oh my! - what lovely inventions! Such fantastic inventions for hurting each other! In my day, we had knives and swords and whips and heated metal. I should like to shake the hand of the man who invented the electric chair, the bomb.

And for the record, I quite like smog. It reminds me a little of home.

	Being alone, with not even light or shadow or sound for six hundred years? Non-existence was the preferable option. What are you, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And yet here you are. This place seems to like second chance long-shots. You know, I ask myself that every once and a while, and the only thing I come up with is 'a tragically lucky bastard'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's either very generous, or planning our demise. Hmm. Perhaps we're not as unalike as you wish to think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think we both know which is more likely, eh? You're late to that particular spiritual stoning, old son. Been damned a few times over for years, now. No I don't like ta think on it, but I'm not daft. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure we do. Oh, it wasn't meant as an insult, Mister Constantine, quite on the contrary. I meant it as a bit of commiseration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You sure don't sound like the typical hellspawn, I'll give you that. Sod it. Fancy a pint? And knock all the 'mister' garbage, the old man's three years back to dust. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I never really was. Most people don't imagine demons getting picked on in school, and yet I got stoned almost every day. Things like that wear on a body, especially one like mine. Don't let the skin fool you.

Yes, actually. It's been a long time since I tasted food and drink that were made with care. This "fast food" seems to be nothing more than slop in fancy packaging. And fine. I'll call you John if you call me Mister B. Jakabok seems so tedious and cumbersome, and I'm sick of telling people where I'm from.

Some things are constant, no matter what plane you're on. 'Least from the few I've seen. Wouldn't surprise me, an evil like boarding school would find its way to the collective hells. Gotta have somewhere t'send the mother's boys, eh?

Strewth, who got you on that shite? No body could live off that. Least I can do is find you a good meal for the conversation, eh? And alright, Mister B. And you could always just tell them your parents were religious. Gets most folks off any topic you don't want to talk about, like that.

	That's a fairly good way to put it, actually. It was the first thing I found, to be honest. And that would be a half-truth, really, though I hadn't thought of that. I remember when religion permeated everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have my moments. Usually when I wish I didn't.

It makes cannibalism look a sight more acceptable, that does. No. At least move up to pub food. No better for you, but it's not plastic. And I pity you that one- load of hypocritical shite, the lot of it, an' it puts Hell to shame, with the way it warps people about. Ironic, both the sides are here in force, and not a damn-blessed thing has changed. I for one am waiting for the other shoe.

	Don't we all. My purgatory was because of a moment where I was simply unlucky. All right, you'll have to show me the difference. And I told you how I was brought topside. An archbishop wanted something for his living room. And it'll happen later than you think. But when it does, it will be fairly fantastic. I almost saw it once, but the truce happened.

Destiny's a bastard with a foul sense of humor.

So long as you're not actually talking about cannibalism, fine. And if there's one thing worse than zealots, it's zealots with collections. You should have damned him.

The way I hear it, the next one comes about when I shove off. Something about binding the triumvirate. One thing I wish whatever this is would be more clear about. The dream ain't quite solid, and the Lord Shaper is neglecting my calls. Typical, really.

	Of the many things I've done to humans, eating them has never been one of them. And I did cut him in half with a sword. I'm sure he damned himself. Well, it's in our best interests to keep you alive then, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silkcutcasanova 2009-02-05 02:52 am UTC (link)
	So long as he got his in the end, yeah? Good. I'm sure there's a catch. There always is. But until I catch on? Not exactly looking forward to testing the theory again, no. Where am I meeting you for this pint, then? And don't bother saying America, or Australia. I'm not in the mood to drink dog piss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have people looking out for you, I'm sure. I'm in London. I'm still learning my way around - I'm at [address] if you know a pub near there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silkcutcasanova 2009-02-05 03:09 am UTC (link)
	Thankfully fewer, here. Safer for everyone involved if I stick to savin' me own ass. London I can do. I'll meet you there, we can walk to the nearest decent pub. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thedemonlo 2009-02-05 03:11 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure you think so. I'll see you shortly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silkcutcasanova 2009-02-05 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Oh, no, old son, I like not havin' to do the work. S'the bloody ghosts of christmas past that follow me about that think I should do the world a favor and top meself. That you will. (Reply to this) (Parent)
