to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.

By the sounds of it, it's proper mysterious. But, no, I don't think I've really been there.

I... Can't do much magic, I'm afraid, and that House seems to prefer the folk with a sparkle to them.

So.. there’s two of you?

I'd like to think there's only one of us with any sense of humor or actual taste, but the prick would probably deny it.

But he's not here to have an opinion about it, so we can just discount him, if that's alright with you ;)

Double the headache!

Jon blinks, startled. The man laying on the grass seems... more on edge than his twin, and definitely in possession of more magic than John has even held.

"You... are not my John." He comments, idle, tilting his head. Like a great bird deciding it it should swoop down and snatch a tasty rabbit away.

"Is there any reason, besides a drunken mishap, that has you laying on the ground, then?"

It was a warm spring evening, for once no freezing breeze or moody rainfall, just the setting sun shining into his face at the perfect temperature as he laid onto a patch of grass after a rather tiring job.

For once he felt like he could breath easier than before, maybe they're right. Weather truly does do wonders for someone's mood.

So he laid there resting. A small smile painted on his face as he for once found a small moment of silence, of calm, of breathing easy without stress or fear.

He was slightly dozing off, which explained why he didn't hear someone approach him.

[constantinetwins]

It's more of... a small museum. Most shite isn't really for sale, just kept out the grubby hands of some wankers who think they know better.

It's called the House of Mystery, but I think to you folk that is something a lot more interesting.

So.. there’s two of you?

Jon had taken the afternoon off to enjoy the unusually warm weather, the rays of sunshine setting the sky blazing into hues of gold, the encroaching nightfall seeming full of beauty for once.

He should get a cup of tea, maybe settle on the park with a book. Soak into the calm before once again he had to tend to people's incessant neediness for his attention, for favor or simply basking in his influence.

Of course, because he clearly can't have one nice thing, the moment he arrived at the park there was none other than his twin laying there, streching on the sunshine like one of the cats that infested his damned store.

He could help himself, and stalked closer, one hand holding his travel mug of tea while the other stayed firmly on his pocket.

"Cur. Too drunk to wander back home?" He asks, tone almost light enough to pass as innocent, the sneer contained into the first word.

on shame and yearning (pt.2)

[constantinetwins]

Jon was tired, irritated, and above all else, pissed off.

Then again, he always was, whenever he visited John.

It was satisfactory to see the rathole his twin worked at, the cobwebs and his eye bags and how everything looked one incident away from being condemned.

What wasn't satisfactory was the details, the things that always make him snap and drives them to fight and bicker, that drives Jon away from any family interaction for a month.

The shop looks like a hole in the wall, but there's still more magic in there than anything Jon can buy in a year. His twin looks like he hasn't seen a brush or 8 hours of sleep in a week, and yet he's working on a complex ward that Jon can't make head or tails of.

John had a little trinket left on the counter by one of his few friends, while Jon is coming home to an empty penthouse and a quiet phone that never rings except for people calling favors.

He hates it.

What use is being one of the most powerful magicians in Britain, if all it gets him is bloodsuckers after his influence? What use is all this money, if Jon will never be able to...

Whatever. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Jon is more successful, powerful and well-connected than John. It doesn't matter if the cur likes staying holed up on his shop with his stupid wards and little friends.

Jon is going to open a champagne and enjoy it on his balcony and enjoy a peaceful sunset, and fuck what his twin might be doing.

He didn't know what, exactly, he expected with the questions. To understand how the multiverse worked? Solve his depression and massive imposter syndrome? Maybe he just wanted to see how fucking low he could sink.

By all the posts, photos, interactions... many other John's had a worse life than he did. He should be grateful.

He just felt more miserable.

"Are you going to sulk all night, then?"

John huffs, not bothering to look up as his twin wandered in, sharp eyes on the merchandise, hair artfully pulled on a bun.

Refined, polished. A whole word away from John's scruffy appearance.

"Don't you have better stuff to do?"

Jon wrinkles his nose, delicate fingers tracing the ward John was working on. He almost wished it was something dangerous, then maybe the git would mind his own business.

"Just here to deliver this." He says, putting a Tupperware with food on the counter. "And you skipped family dinner."

John almost never went, not if Jon was present. They'd just fight, and Gemma had enough of the both of them being menaces.

"Well, not that I expected you to show to a proper meal. The cur likes scraps, doesn't he?"

John grits his teeth, not falling for the bait. He'd normally be shouting by now, mad as all hell, but he just... didn't have it in himself, today.

No other Constantine had a twin. He didn't know what to think, that he was the exception.

"Mhm. You errant boy, now?" He asks, idle, presents not to see how Jon bristles.

"Ugh, see if I ever do her a favor again. You're the worst to deal with when you're hangover."

Huh, so he looked that bad. Well. As long as it worked.

Jon left, not saying anything else. John opened his phone again. He had so much research to do.

Rate on a scale of 1-10 how much they don’t want to answer that question.

I'd say being a girl counts, but probably there's lotsa others around, if this multiverse thing works as it should... Probably just not on the hell app, heh

So, I'm trying to ask this to as many of... "you" as I find. What would you say was a... turning point in your life. Something that makes you you.

@constantinetwins

uhh.. I dunno. couldn't begin t' think of anything.

[constantinetwins]

Huh. Well, does divorced count? If so, we're on the same boat mate

So, I'm trying to ask this to as many of you as I find. What would you say was a... turning point in your life. Something that makes you you.

@constantinetwins

Ah..Well there's a lot of basic stuff.

But what sets me apart you mean? Hm.

Wouldn't say a lot of things put me apart. And if anything does it's probably that I'm not married yet, heh.

[constantinetwins]

Wait wait wait, magic uni? That's a thing, now? Just how common is magic on every single other universe?

Not going to touch that last one. Just, no.

So, I'm trying to ask this to as many of you as I find. What would you say was a... turning point in your life. Something that makes you you.

@constantinetwins

Had a few turning points already, despite my age.

- Agreeing to a sacrifice a magic book requested in exchange for more magic and finding out the hard way what it costs at seven.

- Leaving my string of fosters behind at fifteen and deciding to go my own way.

- Magic uni, maybe? Don’t think the others got formal training, though I still make magic my bitch primarily over following stricter guidelines.

- Marrying the devil this past Christmas and getting a surprise demon form as well as a honeymoon gift of getting to create a universe from scratch.

[constantinetwins]

That's, huh.

Bastard deserves it, no matter the universe.
