Buck Moon - Backdated to July 5th

[serpentinthegarden]

First one to make a comment about my new 'rack' will be labeled unoriginal.

[Crowley tilted his head at the screen, feeling the odd weight of the new set of antlers resting on his head. ]

What is this Midsummer Night's Dream? Should I strike a pose?

[Whether he should or not he did! And with an appropriately 'garden' type backdrop and sank into a soliloquy.]



I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.

[He snorted a laugh before holding up his hand upon which two different rings were battling it out for a place on his finger. An inexpensive black ring with a single white diamond sat beside a more expensive looking black ring encircled by white diamonds.]

Bizarre and damned annoying monster transformations aside I actually have one of those odd married persons questions. You have the wedding ring and the engagement ring... do you wear both? Pick one? I feel like I should set the first one aside, in a jewelry box or something, but it's kinda special. Not that the other one isn't! But the wedding ring hasn't been magically blessed like the smaller one. Opinions, go.

No. Not corpses rising from the fucking grave. The actual dead. I saw it, myself. The doors to the underworld opened... Even Hades couldn't stop it. Our Hades, not this dumbass. It was a choice between saving the land or saving the people and the rest of the worlds Fillory connected to... Including Earth.

[He sighed. He didn't want to destroy Fillory.]

I hope we can keep this one safe. I've experienced the end of the world enough times, thank you.

[Yep. That was plural. He'll just keep the story about the moon for another time unless Crowley asks...]

[serpentinthegarden]

I was going to say... Our Hades doesn't really seem the pro-active type.

[ A concerned pout. ]

How exactly did they open the door to the underworld anyway? Its not like they give out keys. Usually the dead aren't as lively as that.

[spectacularlyhighking]

Most Gods aren't, in my experience.

[He sighs, taking another swig from his flask.]

Someone else killed all the guard-dogs that are supposed to keep it from happening. Then it just took the right spell... and someone on the other side organizing the dead to invade en masse.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ This was silently agreed with. Most Gods were too busy with their 'Great Plans'. ]

I don't see the point in all that. Why unleash an army of the dead. All they would do is destroy everything.

[ A beat. ]

Which you know, loss of your world and all... Tough break.

[spectacularlyhighking]

The Beast... the one who wanted to unleash them? He wanted to destroy everything. He did before we killed him the first time, and apparently being dead didn't stop him.

[He gave Crowley a tight lipped smile.]

Thanks. It's not where I was from but it really became my world... I hope the new one is just as good.
