Children of Dust and Ashes

“I look like the bleedin' animal control now, Fluffy? ‘less I’m walking out that door t’ expect something with an alarming amount of teeth wanting t’ give me the exact opposite of a good time, then quit the assumptions.” Though, arguably that could still be the case. Day was still young, he was out in the middle of what appeared to be bumfuck nowhere, but at least this guy didn’t seem to be hyped up on whatever the usual packs in London thought to snort or inject for a bit of fun.

So… bright side, at least.

"Mm ...." Dimitri lets out a terse sigh, hiding his brief frown as he takes a sip of his own coffee. The fluffy comment hardly seemed like it was worth the energy to address. Not in any way that would lend itself to a productive conversation anyway.

" -- A specific goat, or just any goat that's for sale?" He pauses, ticking up an eyebrow as his lips twitch into a smirk. He knew the answer already, it's not like a goat could owe someone money. So he takes a breath, continuing on without much hesitation. "Our goats aren't for sale, unfortunately. There's a farm not too far down the road that might sell you one of theirs, though." He shrugs, frown quickly settling itself back onto his face. "You'll want to be careful, though. The owner is the paranoid sort. He tends to think anyone who stumbles onto his porch was sent by the government."

And he was a real 'shoot first, ask questions later' kind of guy.

❛ Keeps the voices out so I can sleep. ❜

❛ You ever think if you told me more now that maybe I could help out? ❜

❛ You mustn’t let your faith be overshadowed by guilt. ❜

❛ I already know exactly where I’m going. ❜

❛ You don’t need to see this, okay? No. ❜

❛ Yeah, well, I know a guy who knows a guy. ❜

❛ Well, I could offer something about how a shepherd leads even the most wayward of his flock, but it might sound disingenuous. ❜

❛ God was the only one she ever believed loved her. ❜

❛ You still trying to buy your way into heaven? ❜

❛ I never asked to see. I was born with this curse. ❜

❛ Everything you’ve ever done, you’ve only ever done for yourself. ❜

❛ I thought I heard thunder last night. Must have been Satan’s stomach growling. ❜

❛ You’re the one soul he’d come up here himself to collect. ❜

❛ Something’s coming. ❜

❛ You know the rules of my house. While here, you will abide by them. ❜

❛ I know the circles you travel in. The occult, demonology, exorcisms. ❜

❛ What if I told you that God and the devil made a wager, a kind of standing bet for the souls of all mankind? ❜

❛ Well, this has been real educational, but I don’t believe in the devil. ❜

❛ If this is some kind of spell or something, don’t you need candles and a pentagram for it to work? ❜

❛ Officially, I was dead for two minutes. ❜

❛ Take it from me, two minutes in hell is a lifetime. ❜

❛ Heaven and hell are right here. Behind every wall, every window. The world behind the world, and we’re smack in the middle. ❜

❛ I call it hypocritical bullshit. ❜

❛ I guess God has a plan for all of us. ❜

❛ God’s a kid with an ant farm, lady. He’s not planning anything. ❜

❛ I know you’ve never had much faith, you’ve never had much reason to, but that doesn’t mean that we don ’t have faith in you. ❜

❛ You don’t wanna know what’s out there, trust me. ❜

❛ I don’t need another ghost following me. ❜

❛ You do this, there’s no turning back. ❜

❛ So do I have to take the rest of my clothes off, or can I leave them on? ❜

❛ Someone was here. ❜

❛ "Stay in the car.“ "Wait here.” Men. ❜

❛ By the way, you have to ask for absolution to be forgiven, asshole. ❜

❛ Have you lost what little mind you have? ❜

❛ You’re the only one still playing by the rules, [name]. And while you’ve been imitating Switzerland, people are dying. ❜

❛ Consider it a last request. ❜

❛ Look, [name], no offense, I just don’t think that it’s a great idea, you know, you going on a solo mission to save the world. That’s my vote. ❜

❛ It’s not always like it is in the books. ❜

❛ Your ego is astounding. ❜

❛ It’s only in the face of horror that you truly find your nobler selves. ❜

❛ I’ll bring you pain. I’ll bring you horror. So that you may rise above it. ❜

❛ I’ve got a whole theme park full of red delights for you. ❜

❛ I didn’t think you would make the same mistake twice. ❜

❛ This world is mine. In time. ❜

❛ I do miss the old names. ❜

❛ Looks like somebody doesn’t have your back anymore. ❜

❛ You will live. ❜

❛ Hide it. Somewhere no one will ever be able to find it. Not even me. ❜

❛ Always a catch. ❜

❛ I’ve got some cleaning up to do. ❜
