002 :: Video

[itsjustafruit]

[Crowley is sitting outside, based on the background in the video, probably at a sidewalk cafe that's closed for the unseasonable weather. Occasionally a small snow-slide passes behind him - it's possible he's sitting under an umbrella. He's holding a mug with steam drifting up and takes a sip that doesn't fog the sunglasses he still has sitting on his face despite the obvious lack of sun.]

See, now this is what I mean. Blizzards in July. I suppose they aren't so interesting if you're accustomed to living in the southern hemisphere, but I've always been partial to Europe, which makes this a welcome novelty.

Indulge my curiosity, since I've been away a few years - what curses have you experienced in your time in the City? Which ones did you enjoy and which did you hate?

[ooc: He's just collecting information to keep from repeating the deities' efforts if he decides to start messing with people/the City.]

Perhaps I should sponsor a City-wide garden show and then we could discuss the superiority of happy plants over mine.

Private

[beyourarmy]

Nah. You win already. I don't think I have the patience to bother raising houseplants anyway.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

At my age, patience comes easily.

Private

[beyourarmy]

Oh, right. Six thousand years.

Maybe I'll get some more when I'm older.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

You're in a human body now, do you think you'll get this much older?

Private

[beyourarmy]

No! But maybe when I'm thirty I'll be a little bit more patient.

Even a little bit might be good.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

How old are you now?

Private

[beyourarmy]

Seventeen!

Well, technically, since time doesn't move back home, I guess sixteen. But whatever, right. What's the difference?

Private

[itsjustafruit]

Do you remember anything of being a fallen angel?

Private

[beyourarmy]

...yeah. Some stuff. Some things I really don't know anything about, though.

Why?

Private

[itsjustafruit]

I was just curious. 6000 years of humans and reincarnated fallen angels is a new one on me.

Private

[beyourarmy]

Not sure how often it's done back in my world, seeing as it was another punishment from Heaven. And with a curse to go along with it. My girlfriend's one too, though.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

I don't know which question to ask first - what's the curse and is your girlfriend the angel?

Private

[beyourarmy]

Uh, the curse is to live horrible life after horrible life and die young. But I think we took care of it already and I should be fine.

My girlfriend's another angel. But I think she was supposed to be my guardian angel. Something like that.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

Who cursed you like that? Your bastard... you know, or something else?

Private

[beyourarmy]

Well, someone else did the curse, but they were told to by Our Bastard, yeah.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

Yes, the universe - no, the multiverse - really likes me.

Private

[beyourarmy]

Well, I'm glad to help someone feel better.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

You did! If the universe didn't like me, I might have been a demon in your universe.

Private

[beyourarmy]

Yeah.... But the demons are probably better off than some of the angels. If you were disliked, you might've just been left in Heaven.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

Oh that's not likely. Your Heaven sounds even worse for people who don't pick a side.

Private

[beyourarmy]

I guess.

It's kinda funny, though. You sound glad you weren't put there, and I'm trying to do everything I can to get back. For all the bad in it, it's still my universe.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

That's kind of my point. You can have your bad and I'll go back to my universe.

[Where the antichrist has landed.]

I need a drink.

[And he takes a drink of whatever it was in his cup in his initial video and makes a face because it's now a lot more alcoholic than it was to begin with.]

Private

[beyourarmy]

A drink.... I think I need one, too.

Private

[itsjustafruit]

You're underage.

Come on out and bring a cup and I'll fix you a drink.
