The number 244 means angels working with you to make a decision

[Crowley hasn't used his journal since before the Event Horizon mess. He's still living in the Nines, giving South time to deal with everything, assuming she ever can. But he's begun to miss the contact of those he cares about. He's even missed just...talking to people.

He doesn't exactly feel like expressing this, so he'll settle for being vague and annoying instead. He offers no greeting, no explanation for his absence. Just straight to the point.]

You awaken a powerful goddess from an enchanted sleep, in gratitude for this, she offers you three gifts, telling you that you could take one, and one alone.

The first gift is immortality. The second is the ability to alter the past. The third gift is all the knowledge the universe holds.

Which one would you choose, and why?

My pets better still be alive.

[He missed you too.]

Nobody ever seems to reward the indecisive.

[onlyanapple]

[Best friend]

It seems not choosing a side was as damning as choosing the losing one. That's what I get for honesty, I suppose.

I found a better side, anyway.

[gottaknockhard]

Which one is that?

[onlyanapple]

Humanity.

[gottaknockhard]

[... You know, sometimes he honestly wonders if Crowley thinks he's being righteous by staying here, and everything else is just blameless demon quirks.]

Too late to ask you to pick again, huh?

[onlyanapple]

Yes.

Like it or not, I've been on your side since Eden. Like I've told you time and time again, I'm not the monster you so desperately want to believe that I am.

[gottaknockhard]

I was pretty sure I'd heard that before.

[onlyanapple]

And yet you continue to not believe it.

[gottaknockhard]

Despite all the overwhelming proof?

[onlyanapple]

[He gives a tired, frustrated sigh]

Right. The proof. Forgot about the proof.

[gottaknockhard]

[Just imagine how this would go if Spike started defending himself back.]

That's alright. As long as you had good intentions.

[onlyanapple]

[Nowhere good]

If you want to say it, just go right out and do it. Stop pissing around.

[gottaknockhard]

Say what?

[onlyanapple]

Whatever it is that you seem to have stuck up your ass about me.

[gottaknockhard]

[It's a sad state of the world if Spike is the only one doubting a demon's intensions.]

I guess I could just get it off my chest and leave you alone.

[onlyanapple]

Please do. Let's get this ridiculous misery out of the way.

[gottaknockhard]

[As it turns out, there's nothing Crowley can say that isn't obnoxious. Which is exactly why Spike drags it out.]

I do have a way of blowing things out of proportion.

[onlyanapple]

No? Really? I never noticed.

[gottaknockhard]

[Because antagonizing demons is a healthy way of dealing.]

Human flaws, you know how they are.

[onlyanapple]

[It's the most healthy way of all. They should put it in a self-help book]

And you have those in abundance.

[gottaknockhard]

It's an easy excuse.

[onlyanapple]

And one I'm sure you're only too happy to use.

[gottaknockhard]

I've seen it work for some people.

[onlyanapple]

Oh? Such as?

[gottaknockhard]

I guess 'people' is a relative term.

[Yeah whatever, he'll be petty.]
