LOCKED - (demonverse)

[a_time_slip]

After that last time with Raum, I'm almost not surprised that he finally got rid of me.

I'm glad, gods, I'm more than grateful that...

I think I would have made a very bad mistake if it continued much longer. I hope this goes better.

ooc: Janie fails at locks, so this is open. Everything is always open in her journal.

Worst move you could have made. [He nods in agreement] It'd force Lucifer's hand if you destroyed one of his highest, then Lynn would go fucking nuts and ..foom. No more.. of anything. Really.

So. What's all this stuff you haven't told me? As your official Lord and Master, I won't be tolerant of any nasty surprises that implicate me in any shit whatsoever.

[a_time_slip]

I know. [she runs her hand through her hair] It got harder and harder to. restrain myself, especially after... Well, right before I asked you for advice. There's only so much I can take. [the timing seems convienent to her, though]

I went back and changed something. Nothing big... But. I shouldn't be able to do that. Not with who all was involved. And... Strange things are happening. With what I can do.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

You don't think I was idly sitting by and letting him do that to you? I had to be careful, go through the right channels. Sem' hates Raum almost as much as I do, but he's a stickler for procedure.

Fuck.. [He listens with nothing of surprise registering on his face but a raised eyebrow] What did you change? ..and more to the point.. what can you do?

[a_time_slip]

I thought you had too much to risk... you might have been discovered and that's why I tried to deal with it on my own.

[She hesitates, but answers him] I don't think you would remember, but Raum did offer to set me free once,under certain conditions, but it was going to end horribly. So I went back and made a deal. There were hell bats, I had to.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

Hell bats, huh? I always thought they were kinda cute...

[a_time_slip]

Are we speaking of the same bats? You would have been discovered. They planned on opening a hell mouth.

I'm a demon, I quite like voracious bloodsucking hell-beasts.

A.... really? I wasn't in that particular loop. How d'you find that out?

[a_time_slip]

Right. I knew that.

It's um, pretty complicated, how I know, and I have no idea how I managed to prevent all of that from happening. It;s just something I did, and haven't been able to replicate.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

Hnh. Okay. Preventing a hellmouth is probably on Dad's list of "things for Phoenix to do."

So, thanks for doing it for me.

[a_time_slip]

You're welcome. [She doesn't say that she wouldn't have bothered saving anything if she didn't have something to look forward to, including Phoenix and Julian]

It scares me... What if I end up destroying something that I don't want to, or changing the wrong thing?

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can't change shit that shouldn't be changed. [Phoenix shrugs, what does he know?]

If in doubt, don't go changing shit.

[a_time_slip]

I. Can. Barely. Control. It. If at all.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

But you haven't been able to replicate it? Right?

Janie, if shit's gonna hit the fan, all we can do is cope with it as and when... [We. He said 'we'. And he's sounding like a fucking angel again] Look. You have your freedom and you have protection. All I can suggest is make the most of it...and don't get caught fucking up demons.

[a_time_slip]

Right. Right. [She nods, trying not to get worked up too much]

I won't get caught. What are the other rules? Please don't make me wear a collar.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

[Awkward pat on the shoulder?]

Aw. Spoilsport. Right. No collar. .... But never look me in the eye, bow three times before speaking, and you may only wear fluorescent orange

Oh, and Julian's only permitted to touch you if he's wearing rubber gloves.

[a_time_slip]

[She'll accept is, but then looked horrified, and bows three times, quickly]

Rubber gloves?

.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

Oh, for the love of Mike.....

[a_time_slip]

What? [Realizes she forgot to bow]

I'm never going to get it. You'll just have to punish me.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

There are no dumb rules, stoopid.

Just... take care of yourself properly, make it known to demonkind in general you're under my protection... and ... don't be a fucking stranger. Okay? Live, love and be happy.

[a_time_slip]

I knew that. [she didn't]

...Thank you. Julian will take care of me. He makes me happy.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

And work on that sense of humour. [He knows. Oh, but he knows]

... You're welcome, now I have to leave before I hurl....
