John, it's Nico.

We need to talk. The world's blown its lid.

[ a pause, like she wants to say something else. She doesn't, though. ]

Just call me back.

Hey, luv. I'm 'ere.

It's fucked to heaven and back, all right. You got any juice? I seem to've gone dry. Along with everything else.

[witchsupreme]

Hi.

I've got nothing---I'm wrung out. I can't touch or feel anything.

I'm losing my shit. This isn't straight-up end of the world, but it's bad. It's really bad.

[thelaughingmage]

Well, that depends on how long it lasts for, dunnit.

It's not just you or I or even powers. The ghosts are gone. It's as though all the life force's been stripped from the place.

I rather wonder whether it's our magic we've lost or if there's just no magic to use.

[There's a delay while he stares at this and tries to make sense out of it. Griffins generally being magic and all.]

Okay?

Hello, John Constantine. A mutual friend informed me that you'd be able to fill me in on what I've missed while I was at home. Please call me back.

return call

[thelaughingmage]

This's John.

Point of interest: would this mutual friend's name be Edward?

[deadlieststing]

Possibly.

[thelaughingmage]

This's becoming a habit with 'im.

Right, then. You want to know wot, exactly?

[ voicemail ]

[witchsupreme]

It's Nico. Give me a call back when you have a minute. I need to know whether or not I owe you a fruit basket.

Don't remember ordering one. Joined the Girl Scouts, did you? Or did I get that drunk last night?

[witchsupreme]

Funny story: I was a Girl Scout. I was such a promising child.

Funnier story: I recently had a run-in with a book that had way too much of an interest in my sex life. If you were involved with that---and I have a feeling you were---you get a fruit basket.

[thelaughingmage]

In that case, you owe me and Aziraphale. I was after a copy of The Will and the Loom. He got back a copy of Hugh Hefner's Country Living when 'e bought it off an internet auction site.

John Constantine. I don't know if we've actually spoken much.

My name is Red Robin. I have some questions that I've been told are more your area of expertise than someone else's.

Callback

[thelaughingmage]

Yeah, I know who you are. My expertise, eh? Wot'm I good for, then?

[phone]

[reddestrobin]

Magic.

Or so I'm told.

Re: [phone]

[thelaughingmage]

I like to think so. Ask away.
