[He knew immediately that his powers had been cut. Flight, reality warping, even things as simple as ascension and mental blocks - gone. He had been searching through the journal to see if this was just him. Every page ended up being a pretty sore disappointment.]

... Tch. I don't like this.


[... he hadn't meant to say that. Expressing discomfort is weakness (unless khaki really does look painful on someone else, ew). No. He tries closing the journal.]

What. Stop that.

[...]

Of course the castle would inflict this on me someday.

[[ooc: loss start! also, as an addendum, he cannot filter unless someone else filters the conversation first, and he can't end a conversation unless the other person closes the journal. 8D]]

I might, since it seems to me you hardly ever do.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Oh. No. How. Insulted. I. Am.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Oooh, touchy. I was only telling nothing but the solemn truth.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

That can get you kicked in the teeth, you know.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

It's not my fault, dear. I would have been nothing but tactful if this blasted loss hadn't decided to drop by.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

I hate to break it to you, Joshua, but you're idea of tact is everyone else's idea of irritating.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Then I probably shouldn't lower myself to my idea of rude, should I?

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

It would probably involve spilled blood.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[... have a really amused peal of laughter.] Creative, but no.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

What would it involve, then? Oh truthful one?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

What do you know about the word Instrumentality, Crowley?

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Considering my music turns into Queen in every two weeks it's in the Bentley?

Not a lot.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Here's a definition so you can set down that dictionary, dear.

"The fact or quality of serving as an instrument or means to an end."

Pretty simple, right?

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

...By a very twisted definition of 'simple'

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Anyway, one of my powers is the ability to release something like that - my abilities stem from the power of human thought, and if more of them think the same thing, I get more powerful. Well, that's oversimplifying it, but you get the idea. Anyway, the thing is that I can control what people think, so I could very easily make the entire castle my own special powercell by looping the same thought in their head over and over again. In-stru-ment-ality. [a hum~] It'd make everything so much easier.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

So it's like Clap Your Hands If You Believe on an much greater scale.

Thanks for sharing, Joshua, you've enriched my life.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

More or less, yes. [a chuckle] You're quite welcome.
