paradisa | The Hundred Years' War actually lasted 126 years

[Today, anyone on Castlenet will find a new annoying game, sitting there, waiting to suck away all your time and energy. It seems a certain demon is feeling much better now, and is catching up on lost time by making the rest of the castle miserable.

There had been that business with Legato, of course, but he wasn't foolish enough to let people know he was involved in that. No need to get lectured by the do-gooders when he didn't want to be. He'd done his part, as far as he was concerned.

So, he's relaxing in the kitchen, a glass of wine beside him as he flicks through the journal]

You people have been far too tense about everything lately. Time to sit back an enjoy life a bit. Seriously, the castle messes us about enough, you don't need to mess each other about and add to it all. But it's human nature, you can't help it.

So I've given you a gift. To help you work through the meaning of life. It's on Castlenet right now. You have to play right through to the end to get the answer. [There is no answer]

You're welcome.

Oh..[But I LOVE quibbling over details]

It's all right, really. You don't have to...!

[TOO BAD]

But I want to. [He's making his way back to the room now, doop de doop] You need an education.

Fine...[It might make a good distraction] I'll give it a chance.

[Exactly. Not that Crowley will admit to trying to distract or cheer Allen up in any way. Because he doesn't do that sort of thing]

That's the spirit.

[And eventually, he shows up, wandering across the room to turn his computer on]

You do understand how 'on' buttons work, right?

[He follows after, getting up from his spot in front of the video game system; SO DRYLY]

Yes, it turns it on.

[Faux cheer] Clever boy!

Now, all you have to do is use the mouse to click what you want to go on.

[He huffs a little at the clever boy remark]

A mouse?

[He looks around...]

I don't see any, and why would I ever use a rodent for such a purpose?

[Crowley gives a long suffering sigh, used to such stupid questions from the angel]

It's not a rodent, it's this. [He taps it] You use it to control your actions on the computer.

Oh...so it's like a video game controller?

[He hesitantly touches it, like it will explode]

...Yeah, let's go with that. And it's not going to bite you.

Now see, move it up and click on that picture.

[!!] I-I know that!

Um...okay! [It takes him awhile to figure out how to move the mouse, but soon he's slowly scrolling it...in the opposite direction whoops]
