[He knew immediately that his powers had been cut. Flight, reality warping, even things as simple as ascension and mental blocks - gone. He had been searching through the journal to see if this was just him. Every page ended up being a pretty sore disappointment.]

... Tch. I don't like this.

[... he hadn't meant to say that. Expressing

[tehoniongirl]

Joshua?

[her tone is slightly guarded, the way it usually was around him, but there was still concern]

What's going on?

[mmm_paradise]

[........... tch.]

I'm on a loss, apparently.

[tehoniongirl]

One you were expecting?

[mmm_paradise]

No, but I'm sure you've noticed the pattern by now.

[stalkershiki]

Huh? Joshua... what's going on? What's the castle doing to you? Are you okay?

[mmm_paradise]

I'm on a loss, I don't have my powers, and apparently I'm not allowed to be cagey about it. I am also slightly annoyed. [... uuugggghhhh]

[stalkershiki]

On... a loss?

[Her tone makes it clear that she doesn't know what that is.]

[mmm_paradise]

[... oh shiki.] It's a temporary little problem that the castle likes to throw at us every once in a while.

[exanimatus]

Ah. [he thinks he's been on this loss before.] That's annoying.

[mmm_paradise]

Your commiseration is - [ghk] - not appreciated. No offense taken, I hope?

[exanimatus]

Of course.

[after a pause, he very quietly gets up to wander up towards Joshua's room.] It's almost impressive, though.

[mmm_paradise]

"Almost"? Why, whatever could you mean by that?

[ultimaverum]

[Glances over this, just makin' sure Joshua's not causing any more trouble then usual... Then... he notices something's up... and pauses to gives everything a closer look]

[Oh... ohoho, this is the best early birthday present ever 8>]

Why haven't you filtered all of this yet?

[mmm_paradise]

'Lo, dear. I can't. Castle won't let me. Trust me, I've tried.

[ultimaverum]

[Will not... comment on being called dear... or trusting him... Yes]

So... just to be sure here, you can't filter and you have to tell the truth, right?

[mmm_paradise]

Two points to you, yes and yes. Well, with a caveat - looks like you can filter to me, and I'll be able to filter back. I don't suppose that's on the itinerary?

[onlyanapple]

Someone's pissy.

[mmm_paradise]

That they are, Crowley.

[onlyanapple]

So, what's it done to you this time?

[mmm_paradise]

Put me on a loss. No powers, no underhanded lies about it. It's annoying.
