"I just have good timing, is all. And a nose for trouble, maybe." He laughs, now empty hands working their way into his pockets in an attempt to keep them at least a little warm. "Mm -- I'd offer to call a tow for you, but the city is a bit far off." He sighs, frown briefly flickering over his face. "Why don't you come up to the house, hm? It's warm, at least. We can work on getting you sorted there." He nods down the road. It's a hike, sure, but it's better than standing out in the show. "And I promise I'm not a murderer --" There's a beat as he fishes his wallet out, just to pull out a business card. "I run the farm. And it pulls double duty as a halfway house, so we've got plenty of room to spare."

“Oh, you’re a saint, you know that?” Ophelia returns the smile, gratefully accepting the thermos. She takes a sip, letting it warm her before nodding up at him. “I’m afraid so. My car broke down and I’m likely going to be here for longer than a few days, assuming my car will likely get plowed into a snow bank and then will have to wait for it to thaw.” Such was her luck. “Thank you for the cocoa though. It’s much needed right now.”

[squandercddivinity]

"Thank you." He can't help but laugh, just a little. It wasn't as if he didn't understand that aspect as well. He was hardly dealing with this many children, at the farm, let alone so many with such a vast array of abilities. But a werewolf pack could do a shocking amount of damage in one night if left to their own devices. " -- Water will be plenty enough, I'd hate to put anyone out." Dimitri smiled easily again, glancing at the other man side long before he move towards the living room as directed. There's a pause, just a brief one, as he waves quickly at several of the faces peeking out from around corners. He'd have done the same, honestly, when he was small. "I'm sure you hear this all the time, but it's an impressive undertaking. Building a school like this."

“It’s quite all right. This building has endured far worse.” The utterance was so calm despite his words, though it hadn’t come from anything too serious, made all the more evident by the warm smile that stretched across his pallid face. He was used to his students pulling down parts of the school by accident, vases being broken, lamps exploding -- - so, a little mud seemed like nothing at all. “This is a school, you don’t need an appointment. Particularly not to see me.” He was just a teacher, after all. At least, that was what he liked to believe. “I’ll help in whatever way I can. Now please, make yourself comfortable.” A skinny hand gestured into the smaller living room area where a long couch sat across from a television, the rest of the mansion filled with curious students, many of them peering over the rails on other floors and around corners trying to get a look at the visitor. “Can I get you anything? Some water? A cup of tea? Coffee?”

[squandercddivinity]

"Mm ...." Dimitri lets out a terse sigh, hiding his brief frown as he takes a sip of his own coffee. The fluffy comment hardly seemed like it was worth the energy to address. Not in any way that would lend itself to a productive conversation anyway.

" -- A specific goat, or just any goat that's for sale?" He pauses, ticking up an eyebrow as his lips twitch into a smirk. He knew the answer already, it's not like a goat could owe someone money. So he takes a breath, continuing on without much hesitation. "Our goats aren't for sale, unfortunately. There's a farm not too far down the road that might sell you one of theirs, though." He shrugs, frown quickly settling itself back onto his face. "You'll want to be careful, though. The owner is the paranoid sort. He tends to think anyone who stumbles onto his porch was sent by the government."

And he was a real 'shoot first, ask questions later' kind of guy.

"I can take you by, I just can't promise he'll be interested in selling."

“I look like the bleedin' animal control now, Fluffy? ‘less I’m walking out that door t’ expect something with an alarming amount of teeth wanting t’ give me the exact opposite of a good time, then quit the assumptions.” Though, arguably that could still be the case. Day was still young, he was out in the middle of what appeared to be bumfuck nowhere, but at least this guy didn’t seem to be hyped up on whatever the usual packs in London thought to snort or inject for a bit of fun.

So… bright side, at least.

He held a hand up at the coffee. “Rather not stay here longer than I need to if it’s all the same. I’m looking for a goat.”

CONSTANTINE (2005) SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ Keeps the voices out so I can sleep. ❜

❛ You ever think if you told me more now that maybe I could help out? ❜

❛ You mustn’t let your faith be overshadowed by guilt. ❜

❛ I already know exactly where I’m going. ❜

❛ You don’t need to see this, okay? No. ❜

❛ Yeah, well, I know a guy who knows a guy. ❜

❛ Well, I could offer something about how a shepherd leads even the most wayward of his flock, but it might sound disingenuous. ❜

❛ God was the only one she ever believed loved her. ❜

❛ You still trying to buy your way into heaven? ❜

❛ I never asked to see. I was born with this curse. ❜

❛ Everything you’ve ever done, you’ve only ever done for yourself. ❜

❛ I thought I heard thunder last night. Must have been Satan’s stomach growling. ❜

❛ You’re the one soul he’d come up here himself to collect. ❜

❛ Something’s coming. ❜

❛ You know the rules of my house. While here, you will abide by them. ❜

❛ I know the circles you travel in. The occult, demonology, exorcisms. ❜

❛ What if I told you that God and the devil made a wager, a kind of standing bet for the souls of all mankind? ❜

❛ Well, this has been real educational, but I don’t believe in the devil. ❜

❛ If this is some kind of spell or something, don’t you need candles and a pentagram for it to work? ❜

❛ Officially, I was dead for two minutes. ❜

❛ Take it from me, two minutes in hell is a lifetime. ❜

❛ Heaven and hell are right here. Behind every wall, every window. The world behind the world, and we’re smack in the middle. ❜

❛ I call it hypocritical bullshit. ❜

❛ I guess God has a plan for all of us. ❜

❛ God’s a kid with an ant farm, lady. He’s not planning anything. ❜

❛ I know you’ve never had much faith, you’ve never had much reason to, but that doesn’t mean that we don ’t have faith in you. ❜

❛ You don’t wanna know what’s out there, trust me. ❜

❛ I don’t need another ghost following me. ❜

❛ You do this, there’s no turning back. ❜

❛ So do I have to take the rest of my clothes off, or can I leave them on? ❜

❛ Someone was here. ❜

❛ "Stay in the car.“ "Wait here.” Men. ❜

❛ By the way, you have to ask for absolution to be forgiven, asshole. ❜

❛ Have you lost what little mind you have? ❜

❛ You’re the only one still playing by the rules, [name]. And while you’ve been imitating Switzerland, people are dying. ❜

❛ Consider it a last request. ❜

❛ Look, [name], no offense, I just don’t think that it’s a great idea, you know, you going on a solo mission to save the world. That’s my vote. ❜

❛ It’s not always like it is in the books. ❜

❛ Your ego is astounding. ❜

❛ It’s only in the face of horror that you truly find your nobler selves. ❜

❛ I’ll bring you pain. I’ll bring you horror. So that you may rise above it. ❜

❛ I’ve got a whole theme park full of red delights for you. ❜

❛ I didn’t think you would make the same mistake twice. ❜

❛ This world is mine. In time. ❜

❛ I do miss the old names. ❜

❛ Looks like somebody doesn’t have your back anymore. ❜

❛ You will live. ❜

❛ Hide it. Somewhere no one will ever be able to find it. Not even me. ❜

❛ Always a catch. ❜

❛ I’ve got some cleaning up to do. ❜

❛ Like the book says, He works His work in mysterious ways. ❜

@thprofessor

“Apologies for tracking in any mud …” He paused, sighing quietly as he glanced at his shoes. “It’s been hard to avoid lately, as much as I try.” It was the downside of living on a farm, more or less. When it rained, everything turned to mud whether you liked it or not. Comparatively, the school was … much cleaner. ���And I apologize for stopping by without much warning, but … I was in the area. And I have a bit of a favor to ask…” Dimitri trailed off, huffing a laugh as he reached to brush a hand back through his hair. “It’s a bit on the rude side, I suppose. Tracking mud through and then asking for favors…”

[squandercddivinity]

@theresastargirl

“Hot chocolate?” He pauses, offering the thermos with a raised eyebrow and a gentle smile. “Untouched, I promise. You look like you could use it more than I can.” He sighs, letting out a gentle laugh as he does his best to brush falling snow from his shoulders. “You aren’t stuck out here, are you? The snow’s only going to get worse, it’ll be at least a day or two before they’re able to get any plows out here to clear the roads.”

[squandercddivinity]

@overclocks

It’s not that he’s not grateful for fundraisers. He was. They were necessary, really, when it came to running a sanctuary farm / halfway house. But they were also a hair on the difficult end when you couldn’t explain that your halfway house catered exclusively to werewolves, and witches, and every other assortment of odd duck that found themselves hiding from society at large. And they were horribly boring. Plus, he’d never been comfortable in suits. It was a lethal combination of things that made him antsy, really. “ — You know, I’ve never committed a crime in my life, but I have to admit I’m more tempted to pull the fire alarm every minute.”

[squandercddivinity]

@thatslayer

“I don’t expect that it would surprise you to hear that slayers aren’t exactly well liked here…” he pauses, glancing at her from under raised eyebrows. He did his best to keep the supernatural residents of the farm out of trouble. And it was a condition of obtaining housing there. Still, slayers generally had a reputation that preceded them. Regardless, he offers her a gentle smile, holding up an empty mug. “Would you care for a cup of coffee, or would you prefer to jump right to explaining what I can help you with?”

[squandercddivinity]

@analyticallyminded

“Sorry, sorry —“ He’s a bit more out of breath than he cares to admit. It’s just that chickens are a fair amount harder to catch than most people would expect. Still, Priscilla is distracted by the woman — or at least by her shoes, so he takes the opportunity to step in and scoop her up into his arms. “I think she’s one of those chickens that still believes it’s a raptor.” He pauses, letting out a brief, huffed laugh. “Are you alright? She’s a bit aggressive, I know —“

[squandercddivinity]

@rassilcn

“ — Apologies, pay no mind to Basil —“ He pauses, quickly stepping forward to shoo the small, bleating goat away from the other man. “He was hand raised along side a wolf pup, I’m afraid he thinks he’s some sort of guard dog now.” He sighs, letting out a brief laugh and offering the other man an apologetic smile. He didn’t smell like a man, actually — at least not a person from Earth, but perhaps that wasn’t the kind of thing someone pointed out on first meeting. “You’re a long way from the city, can I help you with something?”

[squandercddivinity]

@stormhcted

“I hate to admit it, but in all my years working on a farm, I think trying to wrangle a barn cat into a carrier for a visit to the vet is the most stressful thing I’ve ever done.” He hates the vets office anyway, frankly. His wolf side picked up on far too many smells, and he’s certain every animal could smell the wolf on him as well. He did his best to project a sense of calmness, but animals that weren’t used to him were hard to predict. “It’s just a check up, but I’m not sure she’ll ever forgive me for the car ride.”

He pauses, glancing at the other man sidelong before he lets out a sigh. At least Theo had stopped screaming from inside of her carrier for now. “ — what brings you in?”

[squandercddivinity]

@hxllblazer

“ — we do get quite a few magic users that come through and utilize our housing, but if you’re looking for anyone specific, I’m afraid I can’t confirm any names.” He pauses, offering the other man an apologetic smile as he settles a cup of coffee in front of him. “It’s difficult to build a level of trust up within the community, let alone maintain it, you understand?” He raises his eyebrows, taking a sip from his own mug before he clears his throat.

“If you’re looking for generic advice on how to handle a pack of werewolves, or something of the like, I may be somewhat more helpful in that regard.” He smiles, “Unless you’ve just come to chat about your problems, I’m happy to listen to those as well.”

#GOOD MORNING, I … work 3 of my 8 jobs today, lmao. So. I’ll be here sporadically, but might not accomplish anything, we shall see. Some of what I have tonight is training for Geeks W.ho D.rink.

So, hopefully it’ll be an easy night and not a stressful one? We’ll see.
