GP - Wild Magic 2: Chaotic Evil Boogaloo

[londoncallingmods]

London was a magic epicenter of sorts. Between doors to The Otherside, dormant and active portals, and an active wizarding community, it was a hub of energy, more so now than it had been for quite some time. The city was experiencing a magical renaissance of sorts- Which sounded lovely and made it a prime place to be for those exploring and studying magical energies, but wasn't so wonderful for London's more 'normal' sorts.

Magic didn't care if you were a dark lord or a banker, if it liked you, it liked you- And it was impossible to guess who it would like.

Today magic energy was at an all time high. Another blip in the usually somewhat steady stream of power that flowed through the streets. As a result, odd things were afoot- From mischievous inconveniences, to darker disruptions. Unlike the portals, these bothers were a touch more subtle, creeping up unseen on the unsuspecting.

Last time around the magic had seemed lighthearted and playful- And some of it still was, but... There was an intensity to some of it this time, harking back to the troubles that seemed to roll around every Halloween now. Something wicked was caught in the current, and while it wasn't out to harm everyone, it did seem keen to target a few.

(OTA. Just like the last time, the magic can affect your pup however you see fit. Unlike last time, however, some of the magic has taken a darker turn. It doesn't have to do something wicked to your pup, of course, but the option is there now. This post will be open from 7/18-7/28 or longer if needed. Tag in, tag others, and check back often.)

"I'm hardly a psychotherapist," the demon chuckled. "But it seems to me that you'd be happier if you went back to your roots. No harm in that. Put this fae business on a shelf, Fin. It's what you are, not who you are," he said sagely.

"I... Yeah, I suppose," Fin agreed, nodding and then pausing. "Why are you being nice, Crowley? Is this just to set me up for something unpleasant later?"

[sauntereddownward]

"Probably," the demon replied. He'd not admit to being nice. Not ever. But he had it in him and could be quite pleasant from time to time. Just so long as it didn't get out of hand.

"You're an odd duck, Crowley," Fin sighed. "I never know which version of you I'm going to run into."

[sauntereddownward]

"I am as constant as the weather," he said Proudly. "Always here, rarely the same. You've caught me on a good day, lad. Today I feel like wine and conversation. And I think there's enough havoc in general that I don't need to twist you up too much. Look at them. Look at them all. So angry at Facebook...and it was all me."

"It's a nuisance though, Crowley. Give them an hour they'll delete the app and move onto something else. What are you going to do, jinx all of social media? Seems a bit beneath you, don't you think?" Fin pointed out, a little of that fae mischief sneaking out as he prodded at the demon just a bit.

[sauntereddownward]

"I'm not concerned about the duration, Fin. You see, annoyance is like a virus. Those who have dealt with the inconvenience, even deleted their app, they carry that with them through the day. They're rude to their coworkers. Snippy with shop girls. They go home and spew vitriol at their spouses and children. Maybe kick their dog. And, in turn, everyone feels a bit more shitty and their souls are just that much more tarnished. And so what I've done isn't beneath me at all," he grinned.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"...You want people to kick dogs?" was all Fin took from that, wrinkling his nose and shaking his head, before waving it off. He really needed to give up on trying to understand Crowley's line of work.

"Right, well, though our conversation's been as fascinating as ever, I'm off, Crowley. Let's not do this again soon, hmm?"

[sauntereddownward]

"I'm sure seeing you again will be all too soon and just as dreadful," the demon replied cheerfully, waving Fin off as someone's mobile began playing a terrible bit of EDM on some video clip. Crowley chuckled an lit up another one.
