Lash grinned.  “Good, although I do know plenty of people whose best behavior tends to end in buildings on fire, their fault or not.”

“So, shall I show you the way?”

Clearly didn’t know who or what he was; given he certainly had the tendency for that himself. “They sound like the life of a party, much building getting set on fire is not practical or wise for best behavior.” 

“Of course, lead the way.”

She raised a brow at his question, pursing her lips in amusement. “Do you think that’s what I mean? I mean, yes, that is part of it, but it’s more a general no stirring up trouble edict for the… eclectic clientele. Wouldn’t want the pub to go up in flames due to volatile tempers.”

He loosened his tie as listened to the response. Ah that gave a better picture of where he was being invited. Still seemed strange; the wording and having to be warned as he was. “I’ll be on my best behavior.” John figured that would carry more weight in this case than it normally would. Because his best behavior was terrible. 

Could be in the most mixed up, no trouble underground places and he always made or had things go wrong.

“I know the local scene well, yes,” she replied.  “There’s a little pub, called McAnally’s.  It’s known for its beer, but has some heavier fare, too, if that’s what you’re after.”

She wasn’t buying his mundane act, but was willing to let him keep it up if he wanted.  Still, a little barb… “It is neutral space, though, so keep that in mind.”

“Sounds charming.” Or not, though it wasn’t like he would judge besides some pubs could be decent. “I’m not that particular; never stood the fuss of being strictly peculiar about drinks.” Looking over at her with a genuine curious expression. 

“So luv we’re talking the usual no bar fights or brawls then? Just in fancy wording.” 

[chainsmokeexorcist]

“Ah this is just from a little scuff; don’t worry about it.”

[chainsmokeexorcist]

“I’m actually too bloody tired; so yes I just summoned and exorcised a demon.” John stayed slumped against the side of the building. Rummaging through his bag for a smoke and lighter. “So stop gawking at me, you’re the party who chose to watch.”

“True,” she conceded.  “Could just be some errant fireworks, as far as you or I know, right?”

That something about him that reminded her of Harry wouldn’t let her just let him walk away, though.  Two thousand years of experience taught her to notice many things.

“Looking for a drink, huh?”  She eyed him thoughtfully, decidedly curious about this stranger.  “Care for a recommendation?”

“Could be, firecrackers are especially easy for young ones to come by.” 

It never boded well when he drew any attention. Especially after a case. With his needing to relax, recharge. At least he likely didn’t smell of the sulfur. Little spell and he just smelled of his usual aroma. Mostly a fair amount of smoke. 

“Was just what I said yes.” Rummaging through his pockets to double check hadn’t lost his lighter. Or smokes. Slowly, with a sort of lazy boredom to it. “Sure why not, take it you know the area better.”

                  Magnus’ brows furrowed; he was truly confused now and didn’t quite understand who or what this person was, but he was just pleased that they didn’t seem to be a threat. There were enough threats, as it were, without having another magic user abusing magic to use it for evil. “But you’re not a warlock? I can’t get a read on you…curious.” 

Taking a mental note to perhaps later look up just what it meant. Certainly didn’t seem the thing to ask in this situation. At least the confusion, questions meant wasn’t something trying to kill him. Seemed somebody who also wouldn’t look confused were he to give a real answer. 

Besides it couldn’t hurt worst than his usual activities. “Go by a lot of things. Name’s John Constantine. To put it simply Exorcist, Demonologist, and petty dabbler.”

What planet matches your muse’s personality?

You got: Jupiter

You seek to discern right from wrong and good from evil. Though the world does not always operate in the binaries you try to place on it, you are consistent in how you operate within your personal moral compass. Luck tends to be in your favor, something you rarely boast about while sharing the benefits with others.

It wasn’t quite a surprise; getting drunk after a particularly rough case. Making his way back to the motel he was staying at. Unlocking the door and tossing his coat aside. Working on loosening his tie when felt the presence. Looking over with a relatively bored expression. “And what brings you by?”

EDEN Lyrics Sentence Starters #4

Content: mental illness, swearing

Gold:

“Don’t know how well this is gonna be.” “But, the basic idea is-.”  “Freefall for now.” “Desert air won’t drown you out.” “And for a second I thought the world was ending.” “And I couldn’t breathe in.” 

“Yeah, and so this isn’t your time.” “Been chasing kairos with those scapegoat eyes.” “Can’t you realize?“ “Fuck the summertime.”  “So scared of overgrowing youth.” “When it’s not done with you.” “And everybody ‘gon run.”  “Everybody ‘gon run.” 

“And you can call it what you want.” “But I call it moving on.”  “I’m so done with singing words I don’t believe in no more.” “So what are you rushing for?“ “Who said it’s now or never?“ “I think you’re taking on the wrong advice.” “But it’s alright if these are your worst times.”

“You know you’re good.” “You’re good.” “If you want you can breathe on your own.” “This isn’t what I thought but it’s beautiful.” “Make peace with your mistakes and they’ll turn gold.” “No more, call it what you want.” “Call it what you want.” “I call it growing up and I’m done.” 

Wake up:

“Cause we’ve been driving so long.” “I can’t remember how we got here.” “Or how we survived so long.” “I’m tryna run from our pride.” “Til you set fire to my atmosphere.” “I remember how I spent the 23rd.” “Feeling six feet under.”

“When I’m 30,000 feet in the air.” “Chasing that sundown.” “So far east I’m westbound.” “Feeling like the edge of this world is near.” “But you’ll feel better when you wake up.” “Swear to God I’ll make up.” “Everything and more when I get back someday.” “This is more than just a phase, love.” “Shooting stars all break up.” “Even though it seems like half the world away.” “Heard the streets are gold there.” “Maybe I could fly you out this place someday.” “Screaming through your airways.” “Looking back I almost thought I heard you say-.” “Stay, you’re not gonna leave me.” “This place is right where you need to be.” “And why your words gotta mean so much to them?” “And they mean nothing to me.” “So stay, you’re not what you’re hearing.” “Cause I’ve been watching you changing.” “And who said you’re one in a million?”

“Cause you see only what you want to.” “Your tunnel vision haunts you.” “And you can’t see what’s wrong.” “When you keep sleeping through the PM.” “Eyes wide open when you’re dreaming.” “You’re sleepwalking.” “Just keep talking.” 

“Maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end.” “No “B” plan in your system.” “Just tell me what you’re thinking.” “I’m scared that you might fall.” “But you’re not.”  “And you’ll feel better when you wake up.” “Taking off your makeup.” 

“Sun always seems to wash our fears away.” “And it’s always shining somewhere.”  “I just gotta get there.” “You’re so much better than that.”

Drugs: 

“Cause I had the best of the worst sides.” “And I had these lungs.” “I had too many flash fires.” “That I just let them burn.”  “Til my chest is on fire.” “And my head just won’t die.” 

“I guess I’m lying cause I wanna.” “I guess I’m lying cause I don’t.” “Cause I just feel so tired.” “Like it’s move or slowly die.” “You say, you ain’t you when you’re like this.”  “You ain’t you when you’re like this.”  “This ain’t you and you know it.” “But ain’t that just the point?” “You don’t know how to let it go.” “Who said this must be all or nothing?“ “But I’m still caught below.” “And I’ll never let you know.” “No, I can’t tell you nothing.”

“Cause I’m a fucking mess sometimes.” “But still I could always be-.” “Whatever you wanted.”  “But not what you needed.”  “Especially when you been needing me.” “And I’ll say what I don’t mean.” “Just cause I wanted.”  “Or maybe I need it.” “Swear lying’s the only rush I need.” “Cause all I needed was some words to say.”  “That all these feelings don’t mean shit to me.” “Cause it’s all just chemicals anyways.” 

“I got way too many routes to take.” “To make this all just go away.” “And find another heart to break.” “So heartless with the words I say.” “Just saying what I’m supposed to say.” “Cause I had nothing for you.” “I can’t love when I can’t even love myself.”

“Things I would rather be.” “Thoughts at the back of my head.” “But I’m addicted to hurting.” “I spent too many late nights.” “Just thinking a hole in the earth.” “Til the sky is on fire.” 

“My head still won’t die.”  “Like I need something to come alive.” “This ain’t you, what you done?”  “I said that’s the point.”  “That’s the point.”  “Cause I’m a fucking mess inside.”

            Magnus arched a brow, watching the other with curiosity. It was clear that he was no mundane if the contents of his bag were any indication and the general aura of magic, but…he wasn’t acting like any magic user he knew. In fact, he was a bit…odd, if he were being honest. “And who would have asked such a thing–you’re not Shadowhunter, are you?” 

It would have been better were Chas not off on a brief vacation. Those allotted family hours. Also probably have gone smoother. At least he managed and the map had confirmed that was another spot down. Till whenever the next one appeared. “It was a client, and no I hadn’t even heard that till just now.”

After having his powers tested a mere month after joining Hawthorne’s Academy for Exceptional Young men, Michael swiftly became the golden boy. Gossip had spread swiftly that he could be the One. The Prophescized warlock meant to become the Alpha. A position that would mark him as the most powerful warlock ever born.

One of his mentors wasn’t convinced. John Henry Moore sent word to the only man he trusted to find the truth behind Michael Langdon. Unfortunately, by the time Constantine arrived at the academy, John Moore hadn’t been seen in several days.

Even crowded by his fellow warlocks, Michael could see a lone figure leaning against a wall outside the classroom he had just exited. Constantine stuck out like a sore thumb with his trenchcoat and tie. All the young men attending the academy wore a black and white school uniform.

And besides all that, Constantine was smoking. Inside.

Once the other warlocks left, Michael lingered. Call it curiosity. He was young, with short cut blonde hair and curls that reminded one of a fallen angel straight out of a medieval painting. Piercing, arctic blue eyes.

“Are you following me?”

It had taken him some time to address the request for his services. And when he finally did the teacher or whatever the official title was, wasn't around anymore. Which meant without a doubt something was up.

All the same it meant payment wasn't as likely. But he knew what to do without more information easier to obtain.

He got the schedule and lingered outside the classroom. Not minding much smoking as he was. More an result of listening in to the boring lecture than anything.

Hearing the voice blew out more smoke. Taking note it was the one he had been asked to look into. "Following mate would imply walking and going place to place after you."

“Sure,though I rather do need to step out at least briefly.” For an quick smoke since that was frowned upon inside hospitals. And he wasn’t that kind of jerk anyways.
