Cheeky piece

[ Its a video call of one Anthony J. Crowley stepping out of a posh building eating a vanilla and chocolate swirled cone. ]

When you think about it sixty-five million isn't really so much to ask for a place like this in the middle of New York. Especially with all those terraces. Parking space for two cars. Concierge. More bedroom space than I'll ever need. And... ha! This might be the best part!

He laughed and attached a quick image to the post. ]

They don't want to take that painting with them so it would come with the place! You're an art restorer, what do you think of it, Mr. Fell? Cheeky piece. It's a bit like that play we saw last week, the one where you got all annoyed with me for magically upgrading our seats. I didn't hear you complaining when we ended up with that private box though did I?

[ He paused for a thoughtful lick of chocolate before it ran down the cone. ]

I never even dreamed of owning a place like this one before so of course I signed. What is the point of magic if you can't indulge?

Eh. Don't like Mexican. I'll have heartburn all night. [a snort]

You want to stay here?

Fine. But you're paying, Demon of the deep pockets. [he threw the pillow back] And a spinach smoothie.
scotch_egg: (chuckle)

[he chuckled]

Maybe you should fund a bridge. Or a lift.
scotch_egg: (so tired)

Awful. [he closed his eyes] Bad dreams, nightmares, memory, boredom. You name it. I'm half tempted to go through the bloody portal just for a change of pace.
scotch_egg: (compassion)

Stop looming over me like a bloody vulture. [he shifted to tug Anthony down on the couch, stole his glasses just for the hell of it and flapped the pillow against his face]

Not much different from the last one. Dead kid. Sand. Water. Waiting for the police with a feeling of dread. [a dry chuckle] Maybe I'm the demon. [it was starting to feel like it]
scotch_egg: (exhausted)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-07-22 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [he leaned back and sighed] I've no idea. They don't have to make any sense, do they?

But I felt...resigned. Isn't that terrible?
scotch_egg: (so tired)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-07-23 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[he thought about it. He wanted to give Anthony a good answer, one that would calm the tension. But there was no good answer to give]

I just felt... that this was penance. That I had to...to do something... before I ran out of time.
scotch_egg: (moe)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-07-23 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[a sigh]

I don't know that, do I...
scotch_egg: (so tired)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-07-23 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[a faint dry laugh]

You wouldn't even believe me when I said you weren't a demon. It's who you are...
scotch_egg: (exhausted)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-07-23 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't make sense... [but if it were... another life...reincarnation... whatever... Wasn't that based on bad karma? Things you did transferring over into your next life? Maybe this was penance... But if it was, it wasn't strong enough]
scotch_egg: (so tired)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-07-23 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If you say so. [he doesn't sound convinced. Sorry. Maybe it's just the way it is. But in a way, Whitly was right. There was no use in just cursing about it. What could he do about it?]
scotch_egg: (exhausted)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-07-24 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
And what good would that do? Anyway-- it's fine. [it wasn't. Not even a little] I don't have any more choice than you.
