[Crowley and Henrietta are seated across from each other at a table in the bar, with a Bloody Mary in front of the demon and a glass full of amber-colored liquid in front of Henrietta. The girl is holding a brand-spanking new black Touch iPod, and Crowley is leaning over the table pointing at something on the screen]

All right, look here. Touch this part, right? Twenty hours of cartoons. Just scroll through here and touch whichever you want to watch.

Like this? [She taps lightly and then stares at the screen as an old episode of Family Guy starts miming at her from the iPod.] How does it do that?

That's technology for you. Amazing things they're doing nowadays. Now you go back to the menu, and this one [he points out another option] is where you find music. I've got some classical on there for you, and some contemporary stuff. I'm not really sure what all of it is...

[Tapping and scrolling, because this is really neat >>] Can I put things on here? How do you do that?

You'll need a computer with the iTunes program on it. Have you got access to one?

No. [Shocking, really. You'd think they would have provided such things.] What's iTunes?

Hm...tell you what. Spin through here and see what you like, and I'll bring a laptop next time. [he drains the last of his Bloody Mary]

((ooc: Blue is Crowley, red is Henrietta))

...Okay! They're evil. Very evil.

[Staring down into his empty drink again]

Not to mention the oversized instruction manuals, the warranty packets, registration cards...

[contract_star]

Ah...that's true...

See? I know what I'm talking about here. After six thousand years, you don't have to flay the skin from someone to do a bit of evil here and there.

[contract_star]

Efficiency and longevity instead of shock value?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Exactly. What's the use in corrupting a single soul when you can give thousands a bit of tarnish, and it just keeps working?

...rather like value-added tax.

[contract_star]

When you think of it that way, it makes a lot of sense.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

See?

...I should send you off to the boys Downstairs, try having you tell them.

[contract_star]

[Mildly,] If it exists, I'm probably headed that way anyway.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Welcome to the club then, I suppose.

[contract_star]

Well, at least I will be if this place ever disappears.
