212 Fahrenheit is the boiling point of water at sea level

[Behind the doors leading into the kitchen, ballroom, and dining room today are a secret surprise. Mostly air horns duct taped to the walls, so when the doors are opened, the horn will BLARE LOUDLY.

It turns out Crowley is a touch more upset about Jilly leaving than he's let on, and so is making everyone else suffer for of it. He might be hanging around the crime scenes, too. With earplugs in.

Just waiting for someone to accidentally trip his trap]

[[ooc: Open as an open thing, set off the horns, manage to avoid them, do whatever you wish!]]

Millennia and no, it's not long. Still, this place makes you live. It's sneaky like that.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine rolls her eyes.]

Out of all this place's faults, making you live doesn’t really rank that high on my list.

[Now, what was the word for "air horn" in the Speech?]

[onlyanapple]

Well, you have no choice there, I have a lot of living left to do. An eternity of it, in fact.

[wizard_redfive]

Well aware of that thanks. [You don't deal with the Powers on a personal level without picking up on some things.

Through their telepathic link, Dairine’s wizard manual supplies the word she needs. Slowly, Dairine begins to recite a very familiar spell in her head, filling in the air horn’s information where needed. She’s being very careful not to bring attention to what she’s up to.]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that entropy was more your deal.

[onlyanapple]

It is, but there are lots of ways to get to entropy. You have to be creative.

[For now, he seems utterly unaware of what she's up to, or rather, if he does, he's not making it obvious]

And then Dair wonders if he IS the Lone Power. Welp.

[wizard_redfive]

Oh really? Sure haven’t heard that one before. [Do you hear her sarcasm? You better hear it.

Three syllables left.]

Haven’t you ever wondered if there might be better ways to be creative than just screwing around with life?

[Two. One.

And the air horn is gone, tape and all.]

lawl

[onlyanapple]

There probably are, bu those ways are violent and not at all my styl...

[Notices that] Hey! Don't go pissing about with my things!

[wizard_redfive]

With what?

[Dairine gives him a confused look, as if she has no idea what on Earth he's talking about. Totally innocent here.]

[onlyanapple]

You know exactly what. Put it back.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine crosses her arms and leans back on the counter. She's doing a good job keeping any sort of smile from showing.]

What makes you think I have anything of yours?

[onlyanapple]

Because it was here, and now it's gone, Simple as.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine lets a small grin slip onto her face.]

That's hardly conclusive evidence.

[onlyanapple]

Enough for me. But I'm selfish and quick to judge like that.

[wizard_redfive]

Among other things.

[onlyanapple]

Such as?

And Dairine continues to think he's a version of the Lone Power...

[wizard_redfive]

Oh, let me see... Persistent, sneaky, two-faced, petty...

Supposedly "ambivalent" is on the list, but you sure make it difficult to believe that one.

heh

[onlyanapple]

Awww, you flatter me.

In fairness, the Lone One /was/ the snake in her canon.

[wizard_redfive]

I'm only stating the facts.

[onlyanapple]

Nice to know someone around here acknowledges them.

Yes! Finally an excuse to use that line! >:3

[wizard_redfive]

Yeah well, while we’re getting the pleasantries out of the way, here’s one that’s slightly overdue:

Fairest and fallen, greetings and defiance.

heee

[onlyanapple]

Oh? And what's that supposed to mean? [That fallen part makes him feel not comfortable at all]

Oh, this is going to be good

[wizard_redfive]

[Huh. Dairine isn't sure if he's trying to be coy or if this is an unaware avatar of the Lone One. Regardless, she gives him her standard “go-to-hell” smirk.]

It means exactly what it says. “Hi, here’s the standard polite greeting before I beat you, you fallen Power that has Been.”

[onlyanapple]

...Um.

[Crowley tilts his head to one side]

I think you have me confused with somebody else.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine frowns. So he is unaware.

...Or, like Cole, works (or worked) under the Lone One.]

What's your name?

[onlyanapple]

Oh, so you finally deign to ask me, do you?

I'm Crowley.
