Classic. I had a feeling that was coming and was just waiting for the other shoe to drop, but - oh, poor Chas. I feel so bad for him.

He felt he should say something - “thank you thank you thank you” was what came to mind.
That's what would come to my mind, too.

John finally asked him on an exorcism - and it was a joke!
This makes me feel so bad for Chas, but I can see John doing this. Sadly enough. A man who gets his jollies from tormenting his cabbie. *shakes head*

I liked this fic lots.

Thanks for the FB! As chuckro said, John's D&D orientation is assholic good. And, well, yeah. But you know Chas'll forgive him for this, right?

[valmora]

Well, John'd have to make amends to him first, but yeah, he'd forgive him. *grin* Can I request sequel fic?

[ivy03]

Hmmm... I'm thinking Chas would have to prank him back. Something diabolical involving a lot of planning and requiring a truce to be instituted to keep the peace...

Damned if I know what, though.

Aw, I love it!

And I absolutely *adore* that you bought a book on exorcism just to help you write better Constantine fic, that shows your dedication and passion you have towards writing. Very awesome. ;3

[ivy03]

They don't call it an obsession for nothing. And who ever said I bought one book. Ah, who needs disposable income for nothing.

I'll definitely check it out. My book only had the rite in English, and since I didn't feel like translating it myself with babblefish, that's why John says it in English. But Latin's spiffier.

super awesome. ^_^ I kind of guessed that it wasn't realy but I thought John had paid the guy who was an actor and it was just to get Chaz off his back.

I liked your way better.

Splendid and I hope to see bunches more from you. ^_^

Best was the way that Chaz got out of the car, I've had stuff like that happen to me so I can appreciate it. ^_~

Wow, really enjoyed this. Good writing, good characterization. You can actually see this fitting in the movieverse.
