[well, Barney WAS going to survive all of this by holing up in the Nines and getting drunk, as he usually does - but he held a weak flashlight up to the bottles of booze and ... well, they all looked a lot less like booze and a lot more like blood.

smelled like it, too.

he turns off the flashlight] Okay, that's not creepy or anything. [turns it back on. nope, still gross blood bottles, no brandy. he turns away - and catches something out of the corner of his eye.

and then the whispering starts.]

Not again...!

[he whirls around to check the windows - and illuminated just behind the stained glass outside is the silhouette in profile of a slightly larger-than-normal, very curvy woman. she opens her mouth, and oh what big teeth she has.

that does it. Barney's dropping the flashlight and BOOKING IT out of the Nines]

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!

[he might just be running into you, if you're on the 7th floor.]

[Good, Crowley could really do without the hugging]

I'll be sure to save it for a really good reason.

Better now?

[bro_codebreaker]

Yeah. [he takes a deep breath, then nods] Yeah.

... [opens his mouth and closes it again. right. don't thank Crowley, he might hit you again]

[onlyanapple]

[Wise move, Crowley glances around in something akin to boredom. Once you've spent time in Hell, you kind of get used to a creepy ambiance ]

It's just fucking with us. I can't sense anything.

[bro_codebreaker]

... I always forget you can do that. [he thinks of you as a fellow human most of the time, you see]


……… so uh. Where's Faye? Haven't seen her lately. Is she doing The Faye Thing again?

[onlyanapple]

[He'd be unsure if he should be flattered or insulted by that] Do you now.

She's off, being paranoid. Being angry. Aiming guns at whatever moves.

So yeah, Faye Thing.

[bro_codebreaker]

... Sounds about right. [he shrugs. MEH, IT'S FAYE]

How long you wanna bet she's gone this time?

[onlyanapple]

I doubt it'll be long. It's too spooky for her to stay away from all us folk who can't die so easy and protect her better.

[bro_codebreaker]

[he laughs] You mean, you. ... See, this is exactly why I never bother with the Dead Zone.

[onlyanapple]

[The demon shrugs] You're not missing much.

[bro_codebreaker]

Never sounded like it. ... I'll keep indoor plumbing and mattresses, thanks.

[onlyanapple]

It's better than scrabbling around in the dirt, being attacked by things.

[bro_codebreaker]

Yeah. Also? Video games.

[onlyanapple]

...Right. Video games.

[bro_codebreaker]

Well, yeah. You can't play Super Smashed Brothers out in the middle of nowhere.

[onlyanapple]

Well, if you were smashed I'm sure you could imagine you were.

[bro_codebreaker]

Imagine I was playing, or imagine I was in the middle of nowhere?

[onlyanapple]

When it comes to you I'm going to go with 'both'.
