Hello Agoge! I'm CB and I'm bringing with me this alcoholic, chain smoking, magic using piece of shit John Constantine! (the dctv live action version) He's a mage and supernatural detective by trade, even though his business card is a little more colorful about it. He's pretty aggressively forward with people so if your character doesn't approach him, he may approach them first by just... invading their personal space and getting really nosy. Sorry about that. Personality wise he's pretty cynical and jaded and angry while at the same time a huge flirt who is quick with a joke or smart remark. I have him at the final Gallipoli log/TDM if anyone wants to do a thing or continue a thing there, otherwise he'll be at BASE later, rooming with Thor oh my god.

I'm gonna try to hit up the CR meme later! In the meantime, let's chat! You can find me on plurk at vibranium  and on discord at gecko #5689. I'm excited to be here and to meet all of you!

Hey roomie! :D Are you game for doing a first meeting log with them when the BASE post goes up?

[inconstantly]

SCREECHES!!!

YES ABSOLUTELY OMG

I had two (possibly insane) ideas for roommate shenanigans:

1) John tries picking up Mjolnir and when he can't becomes frustrated and kicks the thing. Likely breaks a toe.
2) This except John is Peggy and Steve's chest is one of Thor's arms.

[thunders]

YES. BOTH. WE'RE DOING THIS.

Consider: Thor bridal carrying him to the medbay

[inconstantly]

AHHHH YES I'M EXCITED ALREADY!!!

Bro hold onto him like that and John's gonna give wrong directions to make Thor carry him all over the place. Oh no his arms will have to stay around Thor's neck a little while longer what a hardship.

Hello CB, I am LT and I play this drunkard who is also a mage, damn it's like they were separated at birth.

[inconstantly]

Hi LT! I'm having a lot of fun with these guys in the TDM! Would you be up for more threads and such? I love the idea of them being drunk disasters together.

[excelsus]

How could I possibly say no to that, I mean they have so much to talk about and do! Magic, demons, their A+ parents, card games, whinging about the shitty alcohol on Base.

They'll end up drinking all of Dorian's wine and then riding his pet Hart up and down the corridors singing some shitty pub songs they made up, it'll be extra! Too extra.

[inconstantly]

YES!!! I want all of this! Haha John is really weird about how he opens up to people. He'll be all superficial with jokes and brushing things off with sarcasm and then completely out of nowhere just drop something really heavy into the conversation. So their singalong might get abruptly interrupted with "so anyway, about my dad..." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But he has a really good singing voice if that makes up for the awkwardness at all???

What is the best way to contact you about threads and stuff? /fingerguns

[excelsus]

John, you Debbie Downer! That's okay though, because they both have shit parent(s) except Dorian's shit parents are shit parents in a different way. He'll be able to relate even while John is killing his buzz and then he'll have to drink more wine to get it back.

Well then John will be in good company, their singing may be ridiculous, but at least they will sound good doing it.

PM usually, but you can add my plurk. I am so inconsistent with plurk, but now and then I jump on.

[inconstantly]

WELL it's typically either that or avoid entirely. John's not... great at dealing with his shit. IDK if you are canon familiar at all but the last person he opened up to he ended up turning around and having sex with because it got too real and he's always going to go for the unhealthy coping mechanisms. BUT I PROMISE I won't kill a good thread or anything.

oh my gosh that is so good!!! they will be the best drunk duo BASE has ever seen! Got one right back for ya! The vid starts with some kinda speak singing but segues into singing-singing. John canonically was the singer for an embarrassing punk band back in his younger days so boy that would be another great thing for them to talk about, even if it would be mortifying for him.

ADDED! If I'm not able to catch you on plurk I'll try to remember to PM, no worries. You can always PM me too if you like. :)

[excelsus]

Neither is Dorian, honestly, especially when he was younger. He dealt with all of his problems by drinking and visiting brothels, because he has priorities, you see. He's only just started becoming responsible, but he still drinks as a coping mechanism. I am somewhat familiar with Hellblazer, the comics, but TV verse Constantine seems much closer to the comic book version (more so than that hack of a movie whyyyyy). So yeah, I'm getting major vibes and go ahead and drama it up, Dorian can take it.

Ramon Tikaram doesn't get enough exposure, I think most people are familiar with his brief appearance on Game of Thrones. Matt Ryan's damn smooth. But John's Punk Rock experience will give them a leg up when they take the Base by drunken storm, no need to be mortified until you're sober.

I will do that for sure! b^.^d

[thunders]

if he finds out his kind gesture was so RUDELY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF he's going to leave mjolnir on the toilet lid

[inconstantly]

don't make him use the sink

[thunders]

he wouldn't

[inconstantly]

try him, thoreal

[thunders]

this isn't over

[courtintrigue]

HELLO. Please compare notes on magic with this witch at base!

[horsepowered]

Welcome! I've been reading Hellblazer since high school, so seeing John on the test drive was everything to me. :> I'm super excited to play against him, especially since Chiron here is a summoned version of the mythological centaur one and blah blah mage nonsense that I can't wait for John's take on.

[inconstantly]

Yes, I would love this! I am canonblind, how social is she?

[inconstantly]

Ugh, Hellblazer is so good! I'm ngl, I haven't read every issue out there that John's ever been in, but I've read a lot and to me Matt Ryan's Constantine is very much in the spirit of the original Vertigo run. haha this is such nerd jargon omg

But yes! He will definitely give his opinions, whether Chiron wants them or not. ;) Thank you very much for the welcome!

[courtintrigue]

oh god, not very without a decent motivation. She's pretty prickly and likes magic more than she likes most people, so I feel like he could ping pong her between entertained and irritated pretty well.

[horsepowered]

Gosh I was a fan of the Mike Carey era but I'm the kind of person who at the time was going "well there's no new issues of Lucifer out, but this is basically him doing the same thing, sooooo..."

Chiron's pretty used to that. And mages in Fate/ are generally massive assholes, so they're pretty ripe for opinions and hot takes.

[inconstantly]

oh my gosh this sounds, if you'll forgive the pun, magical ;)

no but he loves running his mouth. he might try to be charming and flirt one second and poke at her and be really annoying the next. either way i feel like there is definitely a fun dynamic to explore!

[courtintrigue]

omg throw your terrible puns at me, friend.

It sounds great. I plan to top-level on the base log when I get a chance but if I see you there first I'll hit you!

[verumdicit]

Hello hello! I've only seen a couple of episodes of Constantine but from what I saw I absolutely adored it, so I'm looking forward to tagging you. I'm Chase, I play Meliorn from Shadowhunters who is Seelie/Fair Folk/fairy and a shifty shifty bastard so I'll be fun to throw them together. c:

[inconstantly]

Hi Chase, thank you for the welcome! This version of John has never encountered any kind of Seelie before so that will be New but tbh where you really had me was "shifty shifty bastard," that's my jam right there. ;) I look forward with tagging you too!

[synergise]

JOOOHNN CONSTANTINEEEEE

MY FAVOURITEST HOT MESS

sorry anyway hello welcome, my name is maria, i'm a big fan. if you haven't guessed 8')

[inconstantly]

EEEEEE HELLO MARIA! Your excitement is making me excited! I must admit that I am canonblind wrt Mass Effect, but that won't stop me from doing a thing LET'S DO IT!

[synergise]
