[sitting in the middle of the lobby, after the events here....]

Anyone here remember someone by name of The Comedian?

['Sup Walter, have a Crowley meandering by]

Depends.

[shrt_temper]

[looks up, paint still on his cheeks and forehead from what you just did, you jerk]

... On what?

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley is going to go right ahead and pretend he had nothing to do with that]

Do you mean someone called the Comedian, or someone who was called a Comedian.

[shrt_temper]

Not quite sure. Found an old entry, from first time I was here. Says that the Comedian died. Could have been a code-name, like some of the heroes here. Maybe not. [clearly, this bothers him]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley shrugs] Perhaps one of the long-term residents would know. The name isn't familiar to me.

This is why I don't look back on my previous time here. I'm sure there would be far too many holes to fill in.

[shrt_temper]

Don't know who any of those might be. [makes a little face, and looks back over his shoulder at the smiley]

Was only the one entry ... Castle didn't like me much last time... heh. [have a little wry smile] Can't help but wonder if it sent me home because I figured it all out.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley's going to be semi-helpful. Are you all watching, castle?] Allen, Ino, Akito, Claire. I know those lot have been here for years.

It could have. It's never very happy about people sticking their nose into its buisness.

[shrt_temper]

Hm. [writes those down] Thanks.

... So I've heard. Heard it incapacitates people, takes their memories, sends them home... [it's kind of a nice thought and an awful one all at once to think that he might've figured it out once before.]

[onlyanapple]

Yeah, yeah whatever.

Of course, sometimes it sends people home just because it feels like it. [Like his BFF. Twice B/]

[shrt_temper]

... Mm. I know. Sent someone I knew back, too. Sent her back to something very dangerous. [and he's STILL mad he couldn't stop it]

[onlyanapple]

I think a lot of lives back home could be considered "dangerous". [Poor Rory ;;]

[shrt_temper]

Know what you mean. [shrugs] Came here when I was supposed to have died. Finding the answers here is all I have, now.

... [pauses, and takes off his other glove. uses it to try and wipe off his face] So you don't know this Comedian?

[onlyanapple]

There are a few who snuff it back home, you should all for some sort of support group.

[His handiwork ;;] Afraid not.

[shrt_temper]

Have more important things to do with my time than sit around and listen to other people whine about dying at home. Should hope they all feel the same. [gets up and looks toward the kitchen]

Excuse me. Have to go get paper towels; clean up mess.

[onlyanapple]

You think that, wouldn't you?

[Smirk] Bye bye then.

[shrt_temper]

[eyes him for a moment, before heading for the kitchen. what a strange, strange man you are, Crowley. 'you'd think so'. hrmf.]
