An entrance

[burning-evil.livejournal.com]

The front door does not open. There is no fanfare or exclamations.

Simply a man, where there was not one before.

He's about six feet tall, dark, dressed in a suit and topcoat. He has a scarf. And shades.

And a lighter in his hand. It's black. And he plays with it a lot.

So. Just a man.

In a bar.




He may hurt you.

He laughs at that, properly. 'Really? I can't tempt you?' An eyebrow lifts suggestively and he leers, just a little.

And a hand is waved. 'Rules. Are there? That's interesting.'

"Nope. Untemptable."

Tim ticks them off.

"No violence. No business, so no soul buying, and no sex or nudity in public."

His lips quirk slightly and he manages to give off an air of gentle amusement without really moving at all.

'I thought that breaking rules was in my job description. How disappointing.'

Not really though. Because he prefers to get the humans to break the rules and then just sits back and enjoys the show. That's his idea of entertainment.

"You ever hear of the Endless?"

It's a legitimate question.

His mind searches the humans that have come to him over the years. There's a whisper, but nothing more.

'No. Where I'm from, I'm about as endless as it gets.'

"You have them in your world. The seven eldest creatures, around before you or Him showed up."

Tim counts them off on his fingers.

"Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium. They help us keep the rules."

He scratches at a cheek slowly. He's never really given much thought to what came before. After the Fall, nothing else seemed that important.

'I suppose everyone likes a place to come and have drink then.'

He tends to be flip when things like this are talked about.

"Course they do."

Tim shrugs.

"And they like to have it be somewhat calm."

'Shame then. Because I doubt it will be.' He grins. 'Humans. Can't keep themselves under control. Trust me - I should know, right?'

And with a wink, and a last laugh, he's gone.

Tim just chuckles.
