[johnnyxconstantine]

You wound me. {In remarks to the no trust.}

I make deals with angels because I have to. In my line of work, sometimes asking nicely never goes well for me in the moment. Or, maybe I'm just making excuses.

{He went to put his hand in his coat pockets and took out a couple coins.}

Made myself some insurance in case things go down badly. These coins will hinder a Fallens senses enough for me to get away, or perhaps seal them off for good. Here, take one.

{He flicked the coin over to Miles.} Just in case you ever need it. Works wonders on Demons too.

[mr-pulvis]

Hey man, maybe wine an' dine me a lil first, an' I'll consider it. [ Snorted and shrugged. ]

Not t'make myself a middle man for ya, but if ya need some angelic help, ask me an' I can check with the angels I know, t'see if they can help ya. As long as whatever ya need is reasonable.

[ He would awkward catch the coin between both his hands and take a moment to look it over, flipping it back and forth, before looking back to John. ] Man, this is.. I think this might be the best thing anyone has ever given me.. Thank you.

[johnnyxconstantine]

I'll keep that in mind. I may need an angel's grace in order to fulfill the sealing ritual. The only issue is finding Belial before they cause any more harm.

{He waved it off after Miles thanked him.} No need to thank me, luv. I'm just here to make sure my mates don't die because of my actions. I have enough blood on my hands.

{He gave a smile to Miles and raised one brow.} So, what's this about me needing to wine and dine you? I'm curious as to what food you'd enjoy.

[johnnyxconstantine]

I ain't buttering up your arse for my knob, mate. I'm just telling you the truth. Truth be told, I do happen to have some butter if you're interested.

{John gave a hearty laugh. Just giving out a little bit of his sass and frass.}

That aside, I have my issues with Angels. Sometimes in my line of work, their contracts have more between the lines than Demons. Lot's and lot's of red tape. {John lit his cigarette with a zippo and then handed the cigarette over to Miles to take a puff.}

I've done a lot of bad things and buying my way into Heaven isn't exactly smiled upon by the higher ups.

[mr-pulvis]

[ That would draw a snort and chuckle from Miles. ] I dunno if I trust you, with or without butter, anywhere near m'arse.

I mean, not t'state the obvious, but maybe don't be makin' Deals with 'em and treat 'em like any other person, and ya might have more luck-- might even find yerself with a friend or two that way. [ Would happily take the offered cigarette to take drag for himself. ] Cheers.

...Now, m'not a complete expert, but m'pretty sure ya can't buy yer way into Heaven, man.

[johnnyxconstantine]

You wound me. {In remarks to the no trust.}

[johnnyxconstantine]

Sorry for that. I just been having bouts of giving a fuck lately. I just don't know if it's a good udea to get you involved yet. Problem is, I don't like working with Angels and I especially don't like working with super powered tank people that have no regard for the environment. Pot calling the kettle black I suppose.

{John smiled at Miles and gave a knowing nod.}

That's why I like working with you. You haven't lost faith yet, and you still have a love for this world, even if the others decided to push up daisies. You're a strong soul and that's hard to come by with someone whose been through so much.

[mr-pulvis]

Ah, s' a dangerous thing that is, givin' a fuck. [ His brows would knit together, lips pursing into a tight, bemused smile. ] Why not? I mean, m' a lil biased, but most angels are pretty chill.

[ Bobbed his head briefly from side to side, before lofting a shoulder. ] Love is a strong word for how I feel about the world, if m'honest with ya. And aw, c'mon man, keep talkin' like that an' yer gonna make me blush..

[johnnyxconstantine]

I ain't buttering up your arse for my knob, mate. I'm just telling you the truth. Truth be told, I do happen to have some butter if you're interested.

One Night At The Bus Stop by Daniel Canedo

[cat-cosplay]

My name is John Cat'stantine. And I'm an expurrcist. In my line of work, there are days you just need to forget.

...But some you never will.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John settled down, and he eventually got himself less worked up. Yes, it was definitely a mortal issue for sure, and less of a fuss for those of the angelic variety, and even less of a fuss for demonic creations as well. He sighed and gave a wave to Ash.}

I'm ready to return. There's nothing more I can do here for now.

[ashenheartx]

Then come here, dear. I need to at least be in contact to be traipsing you around the realms with me. [He stuck arm out for John to loop one of his with.]

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John smirked and went to lock his arms around Ash. Once that was taken care of, he smooched Ash right on the lips. What? That's how the spell worked, right? It only made sense for him to continue the tradition.}

[ashenheartx]

[Ash had already taken his toll, but if John wanted to kiss him again? Sure, fine! Great! He's the Prince of Lust. Worst things could happen? Congrats, you hussy. Did get a blink and a smirk out of Ash. Tittering as he reached to tap the end of John's nose before he swept them forward and back to Earth. More or less where they came from.]

Here you are~

[johnnyxconstantine]

{Indeed, John was a hussy.

Once back on planet Fuck All, John let go of Ash and brushed off the grime and dust of hell from hais coat and pants. Dusty place as Hell always was. You'd be dusty too if you went into a room that was never clean, and come out with no allergies? Good luck to you.

John gave a knowing nod and touched Ash's shoulder.}

Thank you, luv. I appreciate it. I'll be staying in touch with you in case anything goes tits side up.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John didn't want to get Miles into trouble. More so because if he did get Miles into trouble, then others would come out of the wood work to create even more chaos. So, no, and yes, it wasn't altruistic, but sort of was a mix of selfish with a dash of caring about Miles. Miles is an old friend and they went through hell together, literally and figuratively.

Problem is, He needed a man of god on his side. Someone with faith still attached even after seeing the almighty and his angels. It takes a great amount of magical resources connected to the heavens in order to still have that holy faith.}

I'll keep you first in my mind, mate. I just need to come up with a proper plan in order to battle against Belial. A powerful fallen angel that's been a thorn in my side for a long time. And other's sides as well.

[mr-pulvis]

Ah. [ He couldn't help be deflate a little at that. Miles should have known it wouldn't be something too simple and easy that the scouser needed a hand with, but organising a battle? With a Fallen of all people? That was a little more than daunting. ]

So uh, jus' a normal Thursday for ya then, ay? Heh..

[johnnyxconstantine]

Sorry for that. I just been having bouts of giving a fuck lately. I just don't know if it's a good udea to get you involved yet. Problem is, I don't like working with Angels and I especially don't like working with super powered tank people that have no regard for the environment. Pot calling the kettle black I suppose.

[johnnyxconstantine]

"I thought retirement would be a little longer this time. I suppose I was wrong. The damned Birds Of Heaven have come forth with more promises against my damnation to hell. Let's hope they can actually keep that promise this time. I don't exactly like the idea of a bath in the lake of Hell."

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John settled down, and he eventually got himself less worked up. Yes, it was definitely a mortal issue for sure, and less of a fuss for those of the angelic variety, and even less of a fuss for demonic creations as well. He sighed and gave a wave to Ash.}

I'm ready to return. There's nothing more I can do here for now.

{John smirked and went to lock his arms around Ash. Once that was taken care of, he smooched Ash right on the lips. What? That's how the spell worked, right? It only made sense for him to continue the tradition.}

[johnnyxconstantine]

Too long.

{John nodded with a half smile and unable to really surface how much of an issue Belial truly is.}

It's been rest upon my jovial self to send Belial back to the pits for good. That is my mission, for now. Let's just say a little birdy is making me do it.

[burningfeathersx]

[He looked the coin over and offered a small shrug.]

He is powerful, but...Well, the lot of you are not weak. Best of luck. He might not be as easy to corner with his sigil this time of year.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{The coin was no longer there, and appeared back in John's hand. He was standing at least two feet closer than he was a second ago.}

It does work on you. Good to know.

{It was a binding coin. One that would weaken a fallen if it was on their person. If Lucifer couldn't see past his illusions, then there was a chance he could trick Belial with it as well.}

Sorry, mate. Just needed to make sure it worked. I have no beef with you, I promise. I just hope I can stop Belial before the veil thins on Halloween Night.

[johnnyxconstantine]

Bollocks!

{He was agitated now. He rubbed at the corners of his eyes and waved his hand dismissively at Miles.}

Nevermind, luv. I can't keep putting you in danger. Honestly, whatever Jimrny Cricket or whatever his name was, is on my shoulder and screaming at me. I can't do it, and I don't know why.

{He sighed and rubbed his face again.}

I can't put you in danger again.

[mr-pulvis]

[ Flinched a little at John's outburst, before cocking his head and frowning at the man. ] I mean, ya ain't put me in danger that many times. [ It wasn't a complete lie. ]

I don't... Hm. [ Ol' Johnny boy shouldn't have pushed Miles' I-Might-Need-Help Button, because, as adverse to danger as the Brummie was, he was more adverse to not helping a friend out. ] Listen, if ya honest t'God don't want or need m'help, tha's fine. But if somethin' happens to ya, an' I coulda been around t'stop it or whatever, you and me are gonna have problems.

...I mean th'ass kickin' kinda problems, by the way.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John didn't want to get Miles into trouble. More so because if he did get Miles into trouble, then others would come out of the wood work to create even more chaos.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John went ahead and pulled another Joker from the card deck, but then flipped the cards for Lucifer. As if to say 'pick a card'. All of them were the joker card. He then flipped the cards closed and they vanished from his hand.}

So touchy tonight. Any more talk like that and I'll assume you've taken a fancy to me. {He waged his eyebrows at Lucifer and bit his lower lip seductively, but all in jest. Maybe.}

What's got you all wound up like a broken toy? Couldn't possibly be upset to see little ole me.

[burningfeathersx]

Did you forget you're a bad omen?

[Shook his head to the question and the display.]

It's Halloween season. Gets me prickly. [And he kept intermittently thinking about the mirror-verse. He couldn't fucking help it. Made him feel a type of way.]

[johnnyxconstantine]

You honestly have every right to feel prickly. The thin veil between life and death is evident. Along with other magical users trying to regain a semblance of control over that veil. It's not exactly a cute time.

{He gave a flick of his wrist as a coin appeared between his index and middle finger. He twirled that around as he talked.}

I know for a fact that one of your fallen siblings is on the rise and prowl. I just need confirmation whether they're locked up or not for me to continue my investigation.

{He tossed the coin over to Lucifer.}

[burningfeathersx]

[He caught the coin on easy, thoughtless reflex. Simultaneously hoping he didn't just catch a fucking trap.]

Oh? Belial? That has been a ticking time bomb for a bit now.

[johnnyxconstantine]

Too long.

{John nodded with a half smile and unable to really surface how much of an issue Belial truly is.}

It's been rest upon my jovial self to send Belial back to the pits for good. That is my mission, for now. Let's just say a little birdy is making me do it.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{Okay! First of all! Syphon as much as you need because John absolutely loved that. Don't think for one minute that he wasn't about that life, because he definitely was. He loved every second of that kiss, and would make a deal so hard to get another one. He honestly hoped that Ash would need to do another kiss just to get the hell out of there.

Then, there was the familiar ice. He shivered and buttoned his coat, turned up his collar, and began walking. He took a coin out from his pocket and it began to burn, and burn, and burn until it burned just right enough for him to know where Belial was or is. He motioned to a broken, battered piece of ice chunk until he realized there was nobody in it.}

Bollocks! Piss ant, cock mongrel!

{he threw the coin on the ground and rubbed at his face.} I hate when I'm right. Fuck all! Shit!

[ashenheartx]

Was the binding not temporary to start with?

[Not NEARLY so concerned with the missing demon, as mentioned before. Generally not his problem in the strictest sense. He settled into leaning on his cane while John had his fit.

He supposed it was a problem for John and other earthly mortals, though.]

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John settled down, and he eventually got himself less worked up. Yes, it was definitely a mortal issue for sure, and less of a fuss for those of the angelic variety, and even less of a fuss for demonic creations as well. He sighed and gave a wave to Ash.}

I'm ready to return. There's nothing more I can do here for now.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John was the type to always go for people he knew. Even if the track record wasn't very good. He knew without a doubt that the last time they went toe to toe with a powerful Devil, that it went the way it did because the algorithm was off, not because of anything they did wrong. The devil himself was a probable cause to fail. This time, they were going up against something entirely different, and he needed backup that was reliable against that.}

I may or may not need you, Miles. I was just asking that if the time comes, I may need to call upon you.

{John was always a manipulative asshole sometimes, so that's also something to put into consideration.}

[mr-pulvis]

[ Oh, Miles hated this. The last thing he ever wanted was to screw up when trying to help someone, or end up getting hurt for the sake of someone else, but, more than anything, he always wanted to help. Always wanted to be a Good, useful man.

So, he would huff and idly rub at his scruff. ]

...Okay, fine. If ya need me, jus' lemme know.

[johnnyxconstantine]

Bollocks!

{He was agitated now. He rubbed at the corners of his eyes and waved his hand dismissively at Miles.}

Nevermind, luv. I can't keep putting you in danger. Honestly, whatever Jimrny Cricket or whatever his name was, is on my shoulder and screaming at me. I can't do it, and I don't know why.

{He sighed and rubbed his face again.}

I can't put you in danger again.

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John wasn't one to stray away from Hell and it's inhabitants. He gave a flick of his wrist and held it out to Asmodeus.}

Lead the way, Luv. I'm right behind you.

[ashenheartx]

[Ash hummed and smiled, crooked.]

First-- [He took the hand offered and looped their arms, drawing him in very close.] My payment. [He tsked, swooping in to get a kiss from John. It's not a chaste one, but it wasn't as exploitative as it could be. He used the kiss to siphon off a fair amount of energy from John--the loose sort that clung to the magician. Breaking it when he had a fair, equitable, bite.]

Now we go. [He waited for no reaction, stepping them forward and taking them through familiar time-space hop to the Ninth. Shaking his shoulders out with a short 'brr'.] Acht. [Cold. He was from a much more humid and hot ring. He didn't care for the ice here.]

I admit, I do not remember the exact ice chunk he was chained to down here... [He tapped his chin, looking around.]

[johnnyxconstantine]

{Okay! First of all! Syphon as much as you need because John absolutely loved that. Don't think for one minute that he wasn't about that life, because he definitely was. He loved every second of that kiss, and would make a deal so hard to get another one. He honestly hoped that Ash would need to do another kiss just to get the hell out of there.

Bollocks! Piss ant, cock mongrel!

{he threw the coin on the ground and rubbed at his face.} I hate when I'm right. Fuck all! Shit!

[johnnyxconstantine]

One does not simply go strolling into hell without at least having a bottle of cheap water from the gas station on hand.

[johnnyxconstantine]

Let me rephrase my question. I need you to check on this for me. It's imperative that I know this question. I've seen some things, and it's not cute.

[ashenheartx]

Would you prefer to have a look with me? Or would you like to stay here as I pop a look?

[Questioned with a lazy look. He was not good natured enough to have much investment if Belial was out and killing orphans or whatever or not, but he could do a favor.]

[johnnyxconstantine]

{John wasn't one to stray away from Hell and it's inhabitants. He gave a flick of his wrist and held it out to Asmodeus.}

Lead the way, Luv. I'm right behind you.
