AD-venture

[bigbadrose]

Well, I dunno about the rest of you, but if I don't get my sparks up, my spells are gonna be useless forever! So who's ready to go on another adventure already?

Oh, wait, blimey, I forgot about work. [facepalm!] Okay, soon as I get my shift schedule and find days off, THEN who's ready?

[serpentinthegarden]

You are out of your mind.

[bigbadrose]

That's a no then?

[serpentinthegarden]

Your guy nearly got eaten by spiders!

[ Mine did get eaten by a fish! ]

And you want to go again?! Stay home... let them do their own dirty work for a change.

[bigbadrose]

He's not really my guy, you know. Think we talked about that, you and me.

And no. This isn't home. Home is out there on the road for me. Adventuring. And it's hardly dirty work. Retail though?? Now THAT'S dirty work.

You didn't read the manual, did you?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Nose scrunch. ]

I don't care for manuals. Inaccurate usually, at least they became that way since I invented the idea of making sure there was always some critical bit of information missing.

[bigbadrose]

Why would you do that? And don't just say "evil" because it seems a bit shooting yourself in the foot.

Anyway, they list the spell types and drawbacks, and what level you gotta be to get better effects from 'em. Only princesses can heal, but if my charming was better I could'a taken the pain away completely.

[serpentinthegarden]

Oh come on, it's brilliant! Think about it! How many humans end up irrationally pissed off trying to build something with one of those manuals where the diagram doesn't depict the right part or it's all in a foreign language you can't read? Then they take out that frustration on others! Easiest way to spread discord.

[ Never mind that it does occasionally trip him up too. ]

Levels.

[ He snerks at that because it does sound like something out of an rpg. ]

Nothing in there about switching classes entirely though is there?

[bigbadrose]

Sure. Except humans don't often use manuals. They're always outsourced to China by my time. I only read the one here, because I was stuck with you and him, and I was hoping it'd be like Harry Potter.

Why? Hoping to become a pretty pretty princess?

If so, that's the one thing they're kind of clear on. Every other class you can have as a secondary... two classes, no idea how, they don't tell you that. But they do say to be a prince or princess you have to start that way. No adding it later.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ And now Rose was given a snarl... Pretty pretty princess indeed. He could out pretty pretty princess you! ]

Would you want to stick to a class that has all these disadvantages?

[bigbadrose]

[Thinks about it.]

Yes.

[Nods.]

I can't bring myself to be as violent as I'd need to be for some of the other classes but I keep thinking of the time I was turning into a gargoyle. I would be a monster, yeah. I know the moon thing is rough, but I already had experience with that from werewolves and New Vegas and being Bad Wolf. Would it hurt if my friends were scared o' me when I got all Bad Wolf again? Yeah. But if I could protect and rescue the Doctor better, you don't even have to ask.

Mystic doesn't have the physical drawbacks for each and every spell, but on the other hand, it's frailty overall. The Doctor normally knows martial arts and swordfighting and he's stronger than humans, but mystics are a little frailer. Supposedly us fairies are obsessed with something, but I think mine is just Free Will.

I would be worried about being another elemental type though. If my other element was just time I'd go pretty mad I think.

[serpentinthegarden]

Rough. Rough!? If I'm not sleeping all day like Rip Van Winkle then I'm trapped as some one's pet serpent... I don't see any perks, at all, in being in punished for using my natural affinity to fire. That hurts like you would not believe!

You want to switch? I would think twice before agreeing.

[bigbadrose]

We can't switch, but yes I would consider it.

You've always had it.... Magic before. You forget: I didn't have that. I still had the drawbacks, pain, depression, obsession, being a ghost, but I had to do everything blind, and I almost never knew if what I tried worked or not. You wouldn't want to walk a mile in my shoes, Crowley. I'm not sure you wouldn't have given up.

After all there's a reason I'm raring to go out on another adventure, and you want to hide in your room, yeah?

[serpentinthegarden]

What I'd like to do is sleep all evening without some one upsetting the horse, then spend a day... no a week in spa, lounging around and just being spoiled. Then maybe take in a movie, cause a little trouble... Get a meal cooked by a professional chef not one made up entirely of seeds and fruit.

I'd like to do something fun for a change. It hasn't been fun since I arrived here.

You might consider taking some time off too. All work and no play Rose...

[bigbadrose]

So this is what it's like to not consider money or saving the universe obstacles in one's way. You sound like.... my parents. Are you sure you're a demon?

Sorry, cutie, but I just came off of Satan's vengeance streak. All of this is fun for me. It's amazing what being tortured for awhile will do to skew your perspective on things, yeah?

Although, what kind of trouble are we talking about?

Oh, and you probably already know, but seeing as Aziraphale was swallowed by a fish, you should definitely offer to take him to that luxurious dinner date, or learn how to cook one yourself, and that pampered spa thing. Absolutely boring to me though. If there's no adrenaline rush, I'm not interested.

[takeitsleazy]

That was you?

[jealous scoffing into what is probably at least his third margarita]

Masterwork.

[serpentinthegarden]

Nice to see some one appreciates a well crafted diabolical plan.

Had to explain it a few times to my side before they understood.

[takeitsleazy]

Most of the Bad Place is generally pretty basic, I'm finding. They just don't appreciate original thoughts. I mean ... humans come up with so much great stuff. Why shouldn't we use it?

[serpentinthegarden]

That's what I've been saying! There are all these things... phone networks, satellites, the internet and we could learn a lot from paying attention to them!

[bigbadrose]

I'm not comparing you to the Doctor, [Yes she is.] but you made the exact same face he did over edible ball bearings. How can I miss him when he's in the same room with me?

[serpentinthegarden]

He doesn't have my charming face any more.

[ Clearly. ]

And you may be in the same room together but if you aren't on the same page you can still feel alone.

[bigbadrose]

Time. Not that simple.

Yeah. I take it back, you're definitely a demon. Good job.

[Truth is a bitch. So getting drunk now.]

[takeitsleazy]

Exactly! And - and streaming television! That's a thing!

[serpentinthegarden]

And cars! Wonderful gas guzzling elegant cars! So much better than horses!

[takeitsleazy]

You know, I've never driven a car! I need to try that. I've ridden a bus, though, that was great. Even the getting vaguely carsick.

[serpentinthegarden]

If you get carsick you would never be able to handle a proper car. They run so much faster than buses! You haven't experienced Earth until you've done 90 down Piccadilly.
