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.

No argument here flower.

I mean I dread to think where that idea originated from.

[onlyanapple]

'Flower'?

Oh, I might of had a bit of a hand in it, somewhere down the line. Most annoying things come from me.

[jimfromit]

Most annoying things you say?

Let me guess, you work in marketing? Oh wait no you’re a PR guru?

[onlyanapple]

No, I'm a demon.

[jimfromit]

Oh...well I was close enough.

[onlyanapple]

Oh come on now, at least demons aren't as bad as marketing people.

[jimfromit]

Your mean certain brands aren't powered by the dark arts? Well that is a revelation. [He's looking at you Starbucks.]

[onlyanapple]

Nope, sometimes people can think things up with their creepy, twisted minds all by themselves.

[jimfromit]

Only if they try really really hard.

[onlyanapple]

They don't even have to try half the time.

[jimfromit]

Well ok the special ones don't.

[onlyanapple]

No, no, they don't even have to be special. It's just a human thing.

[jimfromit]

[Chuckles] Oh so cynical.

You know your compatriot has a far more positive outlook to everything then you do…then again I suppose he would, being half human.

[onlyanapple]

Who's half human now?

[jimfromit]

Cole Turner.

You know, the other friendly neighbourhood demon?

[onlyanapple]

Oh. Him.

Yeah, we're very different.

[jimfromit]

Well somebody has to play bad cop.

[onlyanapple]

And now I'm in a cop movie? Charming.

[jimfromit]

Wouldn't you rather be in a cop movie instead of a sentient castle that would drop an elephant on your head if it felt in the mood for it?

[onlyanapple]

Given my immortality, I'll take the elephant.
