Hooray and other happy horse...

Amelia's coming down from the house fast enough that if she trips, she'll probably blow her knee out. She doesn't much care about the property. Seeing that demon-thing-- the size-- and watching the Outsiders dance round after round with it...

The panic's no more than a constant dinging in her head. It sounds a bit like an oven timer. She pushes it back, slowing as she comes across a patch of destroyed crawlers. She almost looks like she's going to cry.

"Anybody hurt?" but it's a bit half-hearted.

"Right, not like you showed me anythin' I didn't know. There ain't no point in lettin' it pay me back. In case none of you lot have ever played with them you don't take favors from them even if they owe you. Ever hear the story about the Genie an the bottle? Not so nice version the Genie gives one wish an it's how the person will die. He owed it an had to do somethin' but his version of bein' nice was lettin' the poor sod choose how to get himself topped." Brainwave's remark about Tefe is making him the recipient of more looks, not many of them nice.

Amelia sighs and rolls her eyes. Yeah, she gets there's a whole other loop here that she's not invited in on. Conversation makes for plenty of insight.

"Alignment rarely means anything under the parameters of guardianship," she mutters, picking at the remains of her crawlers. "Protector of the leylines first, infernal creature second. I.E. doing something of its nature-- something 'demony'-- violates the standards of its station.

"Plainly-- it's not allowed to hurt you, Mr. Constantine. Even by trickery."

"Must be nice t'live in your world Sunshine, all the lollipop bushes an visits from the Easter Rabbit." The look she gets is pure disgust.

"Might want t'wake up the rest of the way an join the real world. It can do whatever it wants so long as it's agreed to, trick or not doesn't matter if it's got permission. Loopholes Sunshine, everything is about loopholes."

"Problem isn't whether or not it wants to hurt Constantine. Problem is what it wants to do for him. These things are all wrapped up in 'balance.' Johnny-boy here did it a huge favor, and now it's going to do a favor for him." He glances at Constantine. "Whether he wants him to or not."

"An it's idea of a favor is giving me power. Don't matter if it kills someone else t'do it." He shrugs, he doesn't want the power really, it's not so much the factor of someone getting hurt to acheive it that's the problem.

And all Amelia really cares about is the 'who' in that 'someone'. She also hadn't realized how truly entertaining Mr. Constantine could be during incineration until just now.

Back in the real world, however, her urge to kick the git in the head is made an impossibility with present company. "As much as a joyless existance of boozing and back-stabbing sounds lovely, I like my world of stocks and charities just fine. And I doubt very much that you have ever seen the amount of money to afford me, so stop calling me 'sunshine'."

"Both of you stop having pissing contests or I'll make sure neither of you can talk." She points warningly at them both.
