35: returning [partly-accidental voice]

[i_see_death]

[Have a Joshua, sleeping sprawled somewhere on the forest floor. After a long while, he opens one eye, looks around disinterestedly, sighs, opens the other eye, and sits up, yawning.]I do believe we've already done this, sir Reaper. At least once before. Not that I don't appreciate you giving me a change of scenery once in a while, but do you

Joshua?

...huh.

[Squints at the crow's eye]

Guess there's no such thing as a permanent escape from this place, then. Welcome back, Dustbunny.

[i_see_death]

A permanent--

[Sliiiiiight pause]

--Ah.

...Now, there's a nice, optimistic way to greet someone, Harry. Positive thinking, that's the ticket, hm?

[rentawizard]

Hey, the longer I stay here, the less I hate it, so it might not be such a terrible thing. John Constantine is here, Joshua. John freakin' Constantine! He was my hero when I was a kid. Well. Apart from the screwed-up life and the Britishness.

[i_see_death]

Oh. [Raises an eyebrow.] How nice. John who, now?

Joshua.

[Ooh, a long pause from Ark. That's impressive.]

...you were not here. Now you are here again. I am happy.

[i_see_death]

Hey, Ark. [Faint smile] Apologies if my disappearance bothered you. How've you been?

[archive_sky]

I have been constructing tiny people. [I'm totally sure that's the response you were expecting, Joshua - wait wat.]

[i_see_death]

[Y...es, yes, that was exactly the response Joshua was expec-- okay, maybe not exactly.]

...Have you, now?

See Axel. See Axel's creepy grin.

I was wondering if you were ever gonna poke your head up again. You gave us all a start. I was beginning to think someone had done something to you.

Looks like it was just the Reaper's shenanigans, though, yeah?

♥

[i_see_death]

[light chuckle] Looks that way. Good to see you again, Axel -- how've you been? I do hope you didn't lose too much sleep worrying over my disappearance.

♥ (like burning)

[priorpyro]

Nah, only a little. Without you around, I was beginning to feel positively domestic. It's an itchy feeling.

I'm sure, now that you're back, things will be much more interesting.

Joshua says have an extra ♥, Axel. Just in case you lose the first one~

[i_see_death]

I do hope so. I'd hate to think I was dull company.

But you, domestic? Now, there's an unusual image. [dryly] Though I'll bet Harry would think you were cute in a maid's dress.
