Are you sure? I don't feel good about not giving you something in return. If you will not take money, will you at least take a couple of cannoli from that bakery I go to?

Maybe. Or maybe I am dreaming I have wings and can fly without a plane. Who knows what I am missing out on? Do you remember your dreams?

[ibiza]

Move in with me.
Sleep on my couch.
I've got people whispering about me already. It's not like some guy being in my apartment is going to hurt my reputation.

Maybe.
It kind of pisses me off, though.

[serpentinthegarden]

Who would notice! Or care. It's not like anyone is out there looking after them now.

A girl. Seems like that's the way, ladies want girls, guys want boys?

[ What would he know about it though never having been domestic. ]

[freakymagoo]

what can anyone do? everyone is struggle ling right now

lucky girls find gentle men
lucky boys die in the war
i would have liked a girl too

[freakymagoo]

ok

i remember but they are war dreams
rather have wings

[freakymagoo]

what?
no
are you crazy?
you're a single woman

[It offends his delicate gentleman sensibilities apparently. Does she invite all her nearly-homeless clients or just the ones who could kill her in her sleep?]

[ohioan]

Wouldn't we all?
I am sorry you dream of war. That can't help you sleep very well.

[serpentinthegarden]

Not everyone. I saw plenty of fat cats out on New Years.

[ They just didn't see the needy around them or didn't care if they did. ]

Yeah. Nothing wrong with a girl.

[ibiza]

Yes, I probably am!
Bucky, I'm not going to let you go without a roof over your head.
You trust yourself not to do anything indecent, don't you?
I promise I'll be a perfect lady.

[freakymagoo]

why do you even care

[He's so confused.]

what is a perfect lady
what does that mean

[freakymagoo]

veronal is great
sleep through anything

[freakymagoo]

everyone who cares has cared
you seem to care
cran berry and wallnut

[serpentinthegarden]

[ How sad that an annoyed hiss can't be heard through text. ]

I never should have bought those bloody muffins.

[freakymagoo]

its good you did
you did a good thing
but you cant help everyone

[serpentinthegarden]

I'm not a good person and I'm not trying to help everyone.

[ Why did everyone lately think he was? Ugh... You do one or two decent things and people get the wrong impression of you! ]

Which reminds me if you want some work you are going to have to get your hands dirty. Dirtier than they were... You have too much of a copper reputation. My guys won't take a chance on you.

[freakymagoo]

just the street kids?
soft spot?

what do you want me to do  kill someone?

[serpentinthegarden]

I don't have soft spots.

[ Guessed it on the first try. ]

There's no need to go that far unless you are looking for work as an assassin. I was thinking something more along the lines of borrowing something that doesn't belong to you. Something that would get you attention. I hear old Nicky is good for a bob or two.

[ Nicola "Nicky" Giordano head of the Giordano Crime family. He was not the sort of guy you wanted to piss off but always surrounded by family and a dangerous reputation which insulated him from trouble. Anyone stealing from him could expect instant fame in the underworld and all the trouble that goes with it. ]

[freakymagoo]

a whole box of muffins will give you lots of soft spots

[Sorry. Bad dad joke.]

are you mad? im not killing anyone

[Although taking something from Nicky Giordano is probably harder than pulling the trigger. He's right about Bucky's reputation - he will get shot on sight if they see him around Little Italy. There's also no use stealing something that doesn't cause a commotion.]

fine
this is a terribl idea
but fine

[serpentinthegarden]

Not me. High metabolism.

[ Bad dad joke counter maneuver. ]

It's a brilliant idea so long as you don't get caught! Leave a calling card or something like they do in those phantom thief picture shows so they know who dun it without actually knowing it was you.

[freakymagoo]

what
this isnt a film

[This idea is getting dumberer and dumberer. You can almost hear the eyeroll through the tablet.]

i will draw my dream of your girl friend ok ?

[serpentinthegarden]

It's dramatic. You don't want everyone using your real name do you?

[ And then there was art which Crowley found himself blinking at and slowly navigating away from. ]

Or I guess I could ask around at some tattoo shops. This might make a decent one.

[freakymagoo]

all of little italy knows my name

maybe its an octopus

[Now that he's actually drawn it and studying it with a little headtilt, it looks like an octopus. But why is he dreaming of octopuses?]

[ibiza]

Because you're a good guy. You deserve better than sleeping on the street.
And hand to God, I actually give a shit about you.

Being a perfect lady means I won't act like one of Lola's girls around you.

[serpentinthegarden]

Then maybe pissing them off more than you have already won't bother you.

[ Crowley took a moment to open that image back up and give it another look. ]

Skull and an octopus. Not very medusa at all really. That some kind of Navy logo?

[ohioan]

I have never taken medicine to sleep, but I have on occasion slipped a little whiskey into my tea.
Works for many things.
