Perplexing.

[Really, the whole purpose of this place evades her. It seems so strange and impractical...but she can't hate it. The city has provided her, already, with too much hope. It's outweighed the fear and the hurt and the anger.]

If I may ask, how have you been, as well, since our previous encounter?

[demonicmiracle]

You can ask.

I've been alright, actually. Bet it'll all go to shit with whatever the city throws at us next, but I'm starting to get used to that sort of thing

[lightlessflame]

I'm glad to hear it.

[In part because it's good to be adaptable, even in the worst of situations. In part because he's been alright in general.]

I hope I can relate to that feeling sooner rather than later. I'd like to be prepared for whatever happens next.

[demonicmiracle]

Took me about three months, but I'm adaptable, sort of have to be when you're as old as I am

[lightlessflame]

I can understand that.

[Though she's still within a mortal lifetime, she's lived much longer than her appearance suggests. She'd expect that for Crowley to say such a thing, he must be much, much older than he appears. It's not an unheard of thing for those who aren't human.]

I'm sure you've seen many things change throughout your life.

[demonicmiracle]

I remember when your lot hadn't even figured out writing yet, I've seen a fair bit change

[lightlessflame]

Ah, so you're quite ancient.

[Rude, Agnes.]

[demonicmiracle]

There were no stars in the sky when I was made. There wasn't even a sky to hang them in.

So I'm older than you, I'm sure.

[lightlessflame]

That's quite interesting, actually. Not even the powers in my world, as far as I know, have existed since the creation of everything.

[demonicmiracle]

That's why I'm not all that scared of them, hard to be terrified of something younger than me

[lightlessflame]

I'm sure that's how many great leaders have felt before their subsequent assassinations. This is a joke.

[demonicmiracle]

Lucky I'm not much of a leader, then 😉

[lightlessflame]

I'm quite charmed by that small winking face. How did you do it?

[Please teach Agnes emojis.]

[demonicmiracle]

[Crowley sends Agnes a screenshot of his device, with the button for emojis circled.]

Tap that one, it'll give you a lot of options 🐍

[lightlessflame]

Thank you. I'll use this feature accordingly. 😊

[Maybe it'll help with her inability to generally convey tone.]

[demonicmiracle]

They're a big help getting across things that you just can't put into words

Like the experience of dealing with Jon can be summed up quite neatly: 😩😒😬

[lightlessflame]

That's very funny.

[Maybe someday she'll learn "lol", but that's a bit much for now.]

This is Jon, to me: 👁‍🗨🦉

[demonicmiracle]

I thought owls were supposed to represent wisdom 🤔

[lightlessflame]

they're very loud

[Crowley!]

[demonicmiracle]

Ah, that makes much more sense
