Hello hello dear audience, is this thing on? Good.

My name is [unintelligible]. You can call me the Founder.

"The founder of what?" You may wonder. Well, the founder of Showfall Media, a company hoping to see the potential of your universe. I come from a universe very similar to yours, don't worry I dont mean any harm. Simply glimpsing into what could be, what entertains, what could be next.

This should make history, I hope you like this as much as I will.

Assuming this transmission is recieved, I will be hosting a Question and Answer formatted session. I will be waiting.

Please be aware there could be changes, as this is tentative and new.

Part 5

Martyn: That's a surprisingly smart bunker-trap.

Grian: What is that supposed to mean? I'll have you know I was the best trap maker in the server.

Martyn: Suuure

Scott: And yet I feel that it's going to be the one to work the least.

Pearl: Same.

erin and i are both stoned and they are just stream of consciousness-ing at me and i have no idea what they're talking about at all

i have not known a moment of peace since season 2 came out

[rabble-dabble]

and by the way i fucking deserved better. you came back with your hand held out and asked me to love you again like i was a fool, like you knew i wanted you to do but you forgot friendship is a two way street and i loved you deeper than you loved yourself. i heard myself in your words and i knew the answer before you asked the question because i spent a year grieving and a year growing and another two years healing and three more years forgetting and you sent me a message asking me to forgive you as if i already hadn't done so. you asked to try again and i almost became the fool that did it because once upon a time we were best friends then we weren't and i cried at night wishing you'd come crawling back to say those words to me again. and i thought of all the ways i could tear you apart with my teeth before carefully mending you back together with my sparkly glue and my shaky sowing needle.

but in reality i knew if i let you in again that i could forgive you but i'd never be able to forgive myself. i'd be looking into the past and spitting into the face of the kid who gave up everything he felt about you to become me and i needed to let you go like the sand between my cupped hands. the ocean cleans away the grit and leaves seashells in them. its a reminder that there are still things to find and cherish. i deserve to love the world and you will not be a part of it. i am not sorry for that.

okay, so. might be controversial but i do not want the dust jackets (as that really what the extra book cover is called? i thought it wass a boock sleeve or something lol) on my books. they annoy me.

anyway, i still have the one from the trigun manga and i was wondering if anyone has any idea of what i could so with them in terms of using them for crafts? they are pretty neat actually.

and googling/searching for ideas has me so annoyed. the stuff i get suggested isn't even close to what i asked for

[timetakillgod]

It's about devotion, it's about loving someone even when they can't love you back. It's about a god and a mortal who refuses to pray to them, a mortal who desperately clings to the idea of their god coming home. It's about knowing each others souls unlike anyone else and yet still divided, a tragedy as one must die so the other can live. Its about- *gets shot*

[neometalpussy]

should write for the amnesiaes more. i like doing random off the cuff stuff for them like those gc posts but the moment for those doesn't oft arise (ie i don't have ideas)

This Poster is so interesting

Okay, can we quickly talk about this poster? Because boy, this is interesting.

Maria's familiars are and always were inspired by Japanese/East Asian mythology. In the Games originally they were called Suzuku, Genbu, Byakko and Seiryu. We see Seiryu in the new trailer - I am assuming at least that the dragon we see is Seiryu.

But this here? This looks like a bear. I know, because I spent a good while obsessing over a certain bear. :P

No, but for real. This is very very interesting from the perspective of Japanese mythology. Because in the old Japanese mythology (aka pre-Heian) bears were thought to be manifestations of the gods. Something that still holds true for the Ainu mythology (as anyone who watched Golden Kamuy will have learned). But yes, originally the gods manifested as bears, with foxes as their messangers.

So, given that Maria's summons are all inspired by Japanese mythology, and I know that there are certain nerdy people in the crew, I am personally going to assume they are very much aware of this. Maria is summoning a god.

John Constantine was in prison.

No, not a normal, mortal prison. Those wouldn't be able to hold him like this one does.

No, he's imprisoned in the Infinity Realm.

The warden of the establishment is Walker, someone whose blood sings Witch Hunter.

If that wasn't bad enough, with every second, it gets worse. Angels decided to interfere in a realm not in possession of their God.

Who's idea was it to go against the Infintiy Realm? Are they nuts?

"John Constantine," One of the messangers steps forward. There is no weapon in sight, yet.

"Under the scrutiny of Heaven, we were sent to retrieve you for a trial." Their voice clipped, blond hair shimmering a soft green and John is sweating buckets.

"Your deals with various demon folk and such shall be judged unter gods court and—"

A loud bang echoes through the hall, Walker's men are surrounding the beings of heaven and particular brave soul steps forward.

The lad is young, can't be older than Bat's Robin. He walks with an air of authority, white hair floating against gravity's rules and towering before the flock of messangers.

"How dare—"

The boy, the godling– growls.

He blocks their view of Constantine, staring them down.

Some of the angels fall back, wings arched and ready for a fight, weapons still not in sight however.

"I am Phantom, King of God's of the Infinity Realm." The child with a title too much for such small shoulders bear, introduces himself.

It sends the flock into mild panic. Constantine is just a bit satisfied at the change.

"Returns to your god and tell him this, every Constantine bearing the title Laughing Magician is under my protection."

For such a small stature, his voice is booming, the command thinly veiled as a threat and icicles forming around him.

"Tell him that if he ever dares to breach my territory once more, I will not hesitate to call war upon heaven."

The main angel of the flock, the one that had read out Constantines sentence, hesitated only for a moment before urging the others to leave.

Posture stiff and movements jerky.

They didn't expect to be told off like this, John muses.

He only slightly dreads when phantoms attention drifts to him finally, a light knock on the metal bars and the whole wall was gone.

"Follow me, John Constantine."

And John does.

He'll sweet talk himself out of this on the way to his doom. Like always.

("Unpopular belief, but I actually quite like you." Danny had stated once in the garden, sitting on a table and drinking tea. John hadn't touched his cup nor desert at all, cannot trust those of the infinite after all.)

(A rip into the green before them had created a portal, a gateway.

"Leave, Laughing Magician. Hold onto that necklace, it will ward off anyone with the intent to harm and deals as a warning to those working for the immortal."

And as John steps forward, his eyes meet toxic green.

"We will see one another again, sooner or later. Farewell, Jester."

The portal spat him out in his apartment in New York, if it wasn't for the protection charm, Constantine would have believed it to be a mere dream. A warning.)
