The number 249 is not divisible by 2

[There's the sound of pages turning, not from the main journal, but from one a short distance from this open one. Crowley has to wonder how many residents still even HAVE an old journal. Not many, he bets. Really, it doesn't bother him as much as he should, his newly found factoid. The passing of time is of little consequence to him. Still, it should probably be said, so after a moment, he deigns to speak]

It managed to pass me completely by, but I've passed the five year mark, living here now. Small change, really, but still something. [A few more pages turning] I think I'm the longest serving resident here, now.

...Thought I'd at least get a little trophy for that. Perhaps a commemorative plate. But nothing. Way to be cheap, Paradisa.

[The demon gives a shrug, getting himself a new glass of wine from a passing ghost]

Didn't upset me at all. [It's a lie, but it's an easy one to tell]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ Ah, they were all so good at lying, weren't they? To themselves and everyone else.}

Ashura grabbed another glass as well, sipping and considering the fruity tang of the drink before setting it down on the table. ]

This will be my fourth snow to have seen in the flesh, and my fourth Christmas.

[onlyanapple]

Really? [He arches a brow] I lost count on the snows I've seen in my life.

Too much, in my opinion, regardless of the number.

[wishmadeinfire]

Hahaha. My world, my country that is, it was to hot for it to snow. We got somewhat cool in what passed for winter, but not snow. I knew what it looked like from paintings and descriptions, but I had never truly experienced it until I came here.

[onlyanapple]

You lucky bastard.

[wishmadeinfire]

Heh, am I? I think I might agree with you - the winter weather doesn't ever sit well with me.

[onlyanapple]

Too bloody cold, it's completely unnecessary.

[wishmadeinfire]

Haha, you are a warm blooded fellow too? Ah, but that's a silly question is it not?

_{[ His eyes give a little glint. Yes, he was trying to do a double entendre here. ]}

[onlyanapple]

I'm a snake so I'm decidedly not warm blooded.

[wishmadeinfire]

I think that could be argued.

_{[ He waved to the waiter and another glass of wine was brought over, this one almost purple than red. ]}

But we're getting into details, aren't we? Celebrations aren't for details.

[onlyanapple]

I find details very important.

[wishmadeinfire]

They can be, especially when making deals.

_{[ he shook his head, not wanting to go into that either and considered the bar. ]}

Fives years... it seems impossible.
