Bored, the demon walked over to the lake to see who was around...


((Crowley really, really wants to do some bastardly things to people. If you'd like him to do something nasty to your character, leave me an OOC note in your reply, otherwise he'll be good. Marginally. No promises, really...))

"So, like everything else, they're more dangerous than they appear," Harvey mused.

"I can think of someone that describes," grumbled John.

A subtle hand gesture and then, "I'm assuming you mean besides the big zit on your chin. A nasty one like that could take at least a week to go away..."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki smiled cheerily, not that he had ever stopped. "What are you talking about? I've never had a zit in my life." He was too rich for zits.

The demon canted his head slightly as if he could hear a faint voice somewhere else. It was the same feeling he got near psychics and psychos.

"A relatively safe, if paranoid, viewpoint."

Wordlessly, Crowley pulled a mirror from his inside jacket pocket and handed it over.

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki looked at the mirror, and then his smile disappeared. He touched it to make sure that it was actually there, and then he wailed. In the most dramatic way possible, he flung the mirror away from him, grabbed his heart, and sank to his knees. "Why..." he wibbled. "Why is this.... this... what have I done to deserve this?!" Melodramatically, he touched his face.

Harvey got out the duct tape and snuck up behind John. "Be quiet. Now," he suggested.

"Where I come from, you've got to be paranoid to get through the day," said Harvey. Someone as observant as Crowley might notice a slight tilt to his shoulders that seemed off. But there was no restless movement. Harvey didn't move unless he had to.

Crowley smirked. "Guess you upset the Big Guy somehow..." His voice took on a scolding tone. "Have you been playing with yourself too much lately?"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Sounds familiar. Where are you from, then?" he asked seemingly disinterestedly.

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki blushed and stood up, looking much less depressed. "I don't do that!" he sputtered.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

With a knowing smile, Crowley said, "Sure you don't, kid. You're the only one in the world who can manage to keep his hands off himself."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"I am!" Tamaki exclaimed. "Someone has to!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"How selfless of you to take one for the team," he sneered, secretly amused. "Then don't come by my house after 8pm. There's a good chap."

[astronutty.livejournal.com]

Now, that's a complicated question. Technically, Harvey's from a chip created by an insane military commander a scheming, creepy megalomaniac. But that's a little complicated to tell a stranger.

"Earth, by way of a galaxy far, far away. You?" It's close enough to the truth -- the body's from Earth, anyway.

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Not turning any less red, Tamaki just nodded. "I'll... be sure to remember that. How do I know when it's 8pm?"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good point," said the demon, looking thoughtful. "I guess I usually just start when it gets dark..."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki squeaked. "Right," he said, his voice slightly higher. "Well, I'll be seeing you." Then, without finding his dog, he rushed off as fast as he could for his house where no one would talk to him about masturbation.

Well, that just lost him what molecules of respect Crowley had for him. "London," he said shortly. It wasn't as honest as saying Heaven and not as accurate as saying Hell, but it was close enough for government work.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"I'll tell Antoinette you asked after her..." Crowley called to the kid's retreating back and grinned. Oh, it had been far too long.

[astronutty.livejournal.com]

Harvey's not used to needing respect. John doesn't respect him. Not everyone respects Scorpius, either, and it didn't seem to matter.

"Never been to London," said Harvey, and it was the truth. "Nice place?"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Parts of it," Crowley replied, the slightest bit homesick. "And how's outer space working for you?"

[astronutty.livejournal.com]

"Well, I WAS kicking his ass for a good while there," John growled.

"And I'm sure your father was very proud of you for that afternoon," Harvey returned smoothly.

"Well, it was always interesting," Harvey said. "Shooting people, getting shot at, trying to keep one large group of angry, armed people from blowing up another large group of angry, armed people." Bragging? Harvey? Never.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Just like London, then," the demon said dryly. "And now we're all stuck at bloody Disneyland." He eyed the man. That had sounded suspiciously like pride...

"Do you miss being the hero?"

[astronutty.livejournal.com]

"Well, I missed out on the real Disneyland, though a friend told me nothing but good things. I didn't realize that Small World ride was real."

"Didja HAVE to mention that song?" John said. "Now it's in my HEAD, and it's not getting out!"

"Hero?" Harvey said. "Oh, I wouldn't call myself that. Just a sidekick, really."

((Tagging out for the night ... must sleep and compose a letter. Night!))

He smiled. "Carrot, actually. Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson. Pleased to meet you!"
