[ Dean's got his device set up so that this isn't all Blair Witch Project (thank god) but he's got a jar of his own, which he's... gently shaking around a couple of fireflies in. Not like Sid and his toys or anything here, considering they're still alive, but he's cheerfully giving them a rock and roll. ]

I don't get the bug thing, I really don't--

[ After which he sets the jar down with a slight clatter, where the fireflies can finally carry on flitting about. ]

I mean, this is like crack to kids, right? Catching these things, watching 'em fly around? Never understood the appeal. [ Says the man with fireflies in a jar but he's curious okay, don't judge. ]

And then with the warm and fuzzies... I mean- C'mon. Never known a God to offer that up without some kinda hand being played.

( so guess who's totally in the next room over, sees this, and decides that he needs to weigh in.

through the network.

and not face-to-face. )

Dude.

Stop being rude to the bugs.

( you can probably hear him chuckling to himself through the wall. )

text (ish);

[kickingand]

oh for fucks sake sam

are you being seri

[ ahem. AHEM. give him a second because this is a ridiculous game and god, he's not going to laugh okay!!

stupid fireflies! ]

-- I can hear you!

no ish only text!

[hollowly]

( abrupt silence from the other side of the wall! but damn it, he's still grinning like a motherfucker. )

I'm an advocate for insect rights.

You're being unfair.

( help this isn't going to last very long but he's going to try his damndest to take it as far as he can!

also there's another jar of fireflies next to him, so ... yeah, that might be adding to this situation juuuust a little. )

[ He hates this infernal device, really he does but this deserves a comment all the same. ]

Thank you! Finally someone else sees the obvious.

[ Aw yeah, now we're cookin' with gas. That happy moment when someone agrees with you. And he's guessing you aren't agreeing with the 'fireflies are silly' business. ]

glad to know someone agrees. this sorta thing isnt usually handed out for free

[ Clever lad. ]

Isn't usually? More like isn't ever. There's always a catch and they love to lay the hooks in the sweetest enticement.

[ While it's true that Lucifer knows a thing or two about temptations, he's usually fairly upfront about his dealings. At least, that's what he'll say about the matter. ]

Glad to hear you aren't buying it.

There's probably summat to it but we might as well enjoy it. Least no one's trying to kill anyone.

[kickingand]

There's too many of 'em to fight over. We'll be fine. [ ok she's surrounded by way too many of these suckers tbh. ]

[faithfulwolf]

I think it's nice.

[ He's scared all the time, so having these fireflies is really nice. ]

[kickingand]

[ AWW...... ]

the bugs? really?

[faithfulwolf]

Yes, they make me happy.

Yeah, the hand being played is that every time you get those warm and fuzzies, Delight gets a little bit more powerful. If I were you, I'd let them go, but most people here don't seem to mind that they're powering these gods.

[kickingand]

Point taken.

Think a lot of people don't mind that they're powering up gods, as long as they're reaping the rewards.

The cherry on the shit sundae. [ Sharon da Silva: eternally grumpy sourpuss. She has no plans to enjoy the fireflies, and dimmed lights because fuck this shit. ]

[stepford_smiler]

Ahaha. But they are pretty to look at.

We don't have actual stars to look at, so it's a nice sensory change.

[kickingand]

Beautification is never a valid argument.

[stepford_smiler]

Especially when this place still looks like it's been through more than it can handle, putting it lightly.

But they're still nice to look at.

I haven't taken to catching any myself like some people seem to have.

[He's directing that comment to you, Dean. In a nice way, really.]

[morphinum]

it works because both the gods and the people are selfish

if someone is playing you, play them back.

[kickingand]

be easier if i knew anything about the gods around these parts

[morphinum]

theyre gods. not much to know. gods operate on an exchange. you give delight your happiness (why the fuck she wants that is beyond me) and she gives you a way to get stoned off your ass

so you just gotta work the deal in your favor or if you dont want any shitty deal then you gotta get rid of the gods.

(Newt is so calling Dean out on his shit. He's just balancing his chin in his hand look supremely unimpressed. He doesn't need to know you to sass you.)

Are you sure you don't understand the appeal?

[kickingand]

[ HUSH CHILD, don't you sass him. He makes the best decisions. ]

Yeah, I caught a few. It's what i'd like to call research.
