twelfth prayer. obfuscating stupidity. [video]

[Video opens on a ceiling. That's about it, really. Some smoke wafts about on the screen from time to time, but it's still, really, just a ceiling. John's voice comes from the side.You know...waaaay back when I first got here, I addressed everyone here as assholes. Some brat with a superiority complex called me out on it, but it didn't do much.

The respectful separation is appreciated, John Constatine. But I still falsely accuse this place of being hell. More fun wordplay that way.

But a whore's a whore. [ shrug ] Buttering it up with fancy words, tea pouring, and ~therapeutic massages~ doesn't make it better.

I wouldn't dare lump you in with the majority here. That's just not fair.

Whatever anyone thinks doesn't mean they gotta go out of their way to be a total ass. If someone says they're not something, don't call me that, just to go on and call them that and get surprised when they get upset ain't any way to go about anything, you know?

[hellodeadpeople]

Bawww, my hero.

Something about taking a one concept and calling it something better just 'cause you've dressed it up all pretty and added in some bonus features irks people. Can't say I wouldn't have been one of 'em if I wasn't too busy laughing my drunk ass off at the clusterfuck from the sidelines.

Oh, you know it. Me and my roid'ed out muscles carrying you off to Never NeverwhereLand.

[He snorts, breaking down and lighting a half cigarette he's been saving for a while.]

That's what I like about you, Jack. That's a damn fine summary.

[John wasn't about to say one way or the other who was a whore, a slut, a prostitute, geisha, companion, courtesan, because John wasn't a big fan of labels, and labels didn't get anyone any-fucking-where in the first place. Common sense isn't that hard to come by, right? Apparently so.]

[One less guy Jensen may have to punch in the face and/or toss off a roof for mistreating women. You make his life simpler, stranger.]

Nice to see culture shock doesn't necessarily blindside everyone it hits.

[Audio]

[satangotmylungs]

[Aaaand there's another voice he doesn't recognize.]

Ain't sayin' I'm the most cultured guy here, but there's such a thing as enough being enough.

[Audio]

[sarifattackdog]

Culture's got nothing to do with knowing what not to call a lady. If this place is really the melting pot of different civilizations like it sounds, you'd think something like that would sink in pretty quickly.

Otherwise we've got a long eternity ahead of us.

[Audio]

[satangotmylungs]

Yeah, and that's why the people who can't go five seconds without labeling anyone is an asshole.

[A snort of laughter.]

But then again, I'm labeling them an asshole. Label, or truth? Hmm...

[video]

[needslight]

I doubt they'll listen, or even care; they seem to hear what they want. [a shrug of her shoulders, and a small smirk.] Nice gesture, though.

[video]

[satangotmylungs]

Heeey, Alice. Been a while. What's up?

[video]

[needslight]

Nothing much, aside from trying to find a place to set up shop. [The Underworld needs a photography studio--Actually, she just wanted to have a reason to take pictures of people.] It's much harder than I thought it would be. [Cause she's picky.]

And you?

[video]

[satangotmylungs]

Spent the quote-unquote zombie invasion up on the roof, accompanied only by peanut butter, bread, and sodium-soaked chicken noodles. Other than that, not much of a damn thing.

What kind of shop?

[Elena grins. She's still in the clinic - looking overly pale, though better than she was a couple days ago. She thinks the man could have been a bit more diplomatic, but, she's not going to rain on his parade. He's definitely got the right idea.]

Good for you, John.

[A pause.]

Good to see you're doing alright too. Did the 'groceries' help you get by?

[video]

[satangotmylungs]

[John's still out frame. Sorry, Pale One.]

Yeah, good for John.

I ate that peanut butter like nobody's business, thank you. It was heartwarming, really.

[video]

[morethanafour]

[Blink.]

Just the peanut butter?

[video]

[satangotmylungs]

...the bread's in the kitchen for later...?

[firstclassdream]

Good to see I'm not the only one who remember to pack their manners. [Zack is totally on John's side with this. :\]

We're all in this mess together, calling people names like a bunch of kids isn't making things better.

[Video]

[satangotmylungs]

[Is John still out of frame? You bet he is!]

Exactly. All of us in this together, that is. [Not that he even likes to think it, much less admit it.] I may not be the most mature at all times, but come on, guys.

[Video]

[firstclassdream]

This isn't even about being mature, it's about being respectful. I mean, I get that some people can get rubbed the wrong way, but saying some of the things that were said was just stupid.

[Video]

[satangotmylungs]

"Stupid" is a pretty good word for it.

How're you settlin' in?
