[Crowley's eating a caramel apple with great enjoyment.]

Just what the doctor ordered. I just got back from the circus and it's both brilliant and binge-inspiring. No, really. That's the freakiest freak show I've seen outside of... well, best not to dwell on that.

Still, I think I might go back later to see what's been added. Surely it's no surprise to anyone that the week before Halloween would get weird around here?

That's what I heard! It took long enough!

[tarot_witch]

Well, thank you kindly~

[itsjustafruit]

Took long enough? Which part, the circus or October delights?

[itsjustafruit]

I'm just giving credit where credit's due. Did you by any chance study Hieronymous Bosch's paintings? You wouldn't believe the fads in Hell after some of his works filtered Down Below.

[infernoandhearth]

This is the first curse I've not enjoyed! I thought the entire month was meant to be dreadful.

[itsjustafruit]

Welcome to a not at all exclusive club. Anyone who stays here for any length of time finds things not to enjoy.

[infernoandhearth]

I don't know. I think I'm still disappointed, after all of the buildup.

[itsjustafruit]

I sincerely hope that you encounter something that doesn't disappoint you.

I would never express disappointment with the management, as clearly they're doing a bang-up job. [Says he who covers his ass.]

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, nice, I see that. Ha. [Luke's slightly loopy way of acknowledging Crowley's sucking up.]

No, anything but being bored.

[itsjustafruit]

I've been bored, and it's like a small death (I assume) I'll give you that, but sometimes excitement is just as undesirable.

[infernoandhearth]

Repetition is torturous.

[itsjustafruit]

Getting cut off five minutes before the grand finale of your favorite TV series and you never learn if Blanche makes up with Rose or not. That's torturous.

Repeated torture? Now that's also torturous.

And that Bill Murray movie with groundhogs. That was torturous too.

[infernoandhearth]

At least torture that changed up would be interesting.

[itsjustafruit]

The goal of torture is generally not to keep you interested.

So I hear.

[infernoandhearth]

Why not, really? If there's no point beyond pain they might as well.

Boring boring boring, drip drip drip. Empty and fill over and over and over. If it must be the same, it ought to be...to be Pachabel's Canon the same.

[itsjustafruit]

Go read your Dante. That's the game plan in my home office these days.

Really, stop complaining about boredom and enjoy yourself.

[infernoandhearth]

I was sort of and then you reminded me that I was cross.

[itsjustafruit]

I didn't do it, but if I did, it was just a side-effect. I do do side-effects, it's true.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Well that reminds nem of a party request or two...]

Do you know how to make those as well as the pretty red ones?

[itsjustafruit]

I'm a consumer not a cook.

[indecent_butterfly]

Then someone was misinformed, she seems to think you're really good at making sweets.

[itsjustafruit]

She obviously was. Who is this she anyway?

[indecent_butterfly]

That would be telling, but she never lies about sweets. Which means you fed her at some point.

[itsjustafruit]

Fed-- [His first thought is of Dulcie, but then he remembers...]

Carla. [With an unspoken, "that bitch."]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne caught that tone Crowley and can guess the unspoken thought. But Carla would agree with the assessment so who cares?]

Not a lie then?

[itsjustafruit]

[Siiiigh.]

No.

[indecent_butterfly]

Then you should make her some for the party.

[Ne can even ask nicely.]

Please?

[itsjustafruit]

[Please? Way to scare the crap out of Crowley there, Bel.]

Fine. Since you said please. [Oh shit don't do that again.]

[indecent_butterfly]

Both kinds and several of them?

[itsjustafruit]

[Carla's getting one with a razor blade.]

Yes, fine, several of both. Tell me that's all.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Really Crowley? As if ne won't check them out first. Ne needs Carla for the entertainment afterward.]

Those and yourself, that's all.

[headofoperations]

Finally! A connoisseur!

[itsjustafruit]

Your imaginations are very... human.

[headofoperations]

We work with our greatest audience.

[itsjustafruit]

So what do you do? Travel from zoo to zoo to spread the joy?

[headofoperations]

A spectacle must move from place to place, it's the nature of show business.

[itsjustafruit]

Imagine if you stayed long enough to be taken for granted. [Please don't. He'd rather spectate than participate.]

[headofoperations]

My my have we here the voice of experience? Are we kindred souls?

[sympathyforme]

Not really surprising, no.

Suppose you can't undo anything that happens because of this?
