I don't know if you figured this out, but everyone stunk yesterday. Like shite. And the walls didn't help, only made it stink worse. Suppose the cursed didn't notice, right?

I'm taking a week off before October starts. No sense in not before everything gets busy at the hospital.

I don't think the shower was invented back then.

What's the correlation between the hospital being busy and October?

[eiremagic]

Well that much is fucking obvious.

voice;

[eiremagic]

October's a fucking miseryfest around here. Always has the worst curses.

[In the least enthused, most droll tone you have ever heard:] Gee. I can't wait.

On the bright side, one November we got harassed by an angry turkey.

voice;

[hexappeal]

You'll have to explain to me how that's a bright side.

voice;

[eiremagic]

It was mostly fucking hilarious.

voice;

[hexappeal]

So long as I'm not being attacked, I suppose I can see why.

Okay, I definitely can. [Because it sounds like something that she'd do.]

voice;

[eiremagic]

Ever seen a grown man run from a turkey?

voice;

[hexappeal]

I haven't, but I'm looking forward to it.

[eiremagic]

[A pause]

You settled in okay?

voice;

[hexappeal]

Better than I thought I would. I'm just used to being whisked away by some idiot in a trench coat and a fedora by now. If I'm here, I'm probably here for a reason.

voice;

[eiremagic]

People still wear fedoras?

voice;

[hexappeal]

A lot of the magic detective sort of guys do. And some of the not-magic ones.

Personally, I prefer top hats.

voice;

[eiremagic]

John never did. Or Gravel.

voice;

[hexappeal]

Just the detectives, I find. Everyone else ranges from everyday street clothes to the most ridiculous get-ups I've ever seen, myself included.

I can't very well say why your friends didn't, however. [The first one, though, because he has to defy all logical norms of super-heroes, even if magical heroes are in their own special little grey area.]

voice;

[eiremagic]

John wore that stupid ugly coat. And Gravel wore a lot of gray.

Dunno, I wear scrubs, but I don't like me magic.

voice; WHOOPS I CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE WAS MENTIONED EXPLICITLY OR NOT YET (UNSURE)

[hexappeal]

Sounds like a John I know.

I feel like most magicians wear whatever suits them best. Whether they're from a world like mine or otherwise.

voice; LETS GO WITH NO

[eiremagic]

....he wasn't a fucking Englishman with a piss poor attitude and a thing for Silk Cuts, was he?

voice; MY MEMORY...

[hexappeal]

Sounds exactly like a John that I know, in fact.

[studmuffin]

Just saying!

voice;

[eiremagic]

.....oh lord.

[eiremagic]

You made it through all right.

voice;

[hexappeal]

So, John Constantine was here. I should have known.
