[Pollution is sitting on the ground next to a printer that's putting out page after page. It's hooked up to his laptop, which he's poking at and has power because he says it does.]

Everyone tries so hard to reverse progress. [taptaptap at the keyboard] Clean coal really was a brilliant idea, I'll have to thank Sable next time I see him. Why the name of a thing makes such a difference, I'll never understand.

Ah, you again.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

[He looks up from the laptop to smile at her — he's in far too good of a mood at the moment.]

Were you expecting someone else?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Not particularly. But I had not seen you nor sensed your influence, so I was hoping you had gone.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

Not yet. There's more to see here.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Is there, then? Like what, may I ask?

[Looks at pages being printed]

[There's this (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090303204545.htm), this (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article2195538.ece), this (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/23/glover-carbon-market-pollution)...]

...College student?

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

[He laughs]

Not lately.

[mercwamouth]

Just a bum then?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Ssstill around, I sssee.

[pauses in his typing to give Crowley an entertained look — he's not horribly concerned with recognizing the snake at the moment, just amused at the comment]

Shouldn't I be?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Oh I dunno. Thought maybe you'd've moved on, found something else to soil.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

Finding something else shouldn't mean giving up on what's already been found. [A pause, as he actually looks at who he's talking to. He can tell it's someone he's met before, at least] Why a snake?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

I was feeling retro.

[slithers a bit closer to try and get a look at the laptop screen]

What're you printing?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Curious, Kuhn tries to get a glimpse at the pages coming out of the printer. He's... not being very discrete about it, either.]

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

[Pollution doesn't even look up. He doesn't care who sees — the idea is to use the paper, after all.

In what is becoming a very disorganized spread of papers, you can see this (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/feb/26/toilet-roll-america), this (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article5524748.ece), and this (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article4276798.ece), along with several other news articles on environmental issues.]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, his curiosity gets the better of him.]

Huh. What's with all the articles?

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

[He smiles at Kuhn, and leaves off poking at the laptop. The printer's still going, though.]

Just checking up on a few things.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[He grabs up one of the papers at random and lets out a low whistle at the headline.]

Ooh, this one's especially nasty. Heh. Crazy Europeans...

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[wtf i never tagged this post.]

... Ew. Homework.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

[He pauses in his typing and looks up]

What about homework?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

All those articles. Doing some kind of paper or somethin'? You're better off just threatening some kid to do it for ya.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

I don't need to threaten anyone to write about what I want known. Anyway, it's not for a class. It's personal.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Good luck, then.
