--'king hell, can't believe I've still got one of these things--

[violent coughing]

Right.

[sound of running; something slamming]

Did you lot really think any of that bollocks would do any good? Look--I'm trying to do you a favor here--get a dictionary. Turn to the "S" section--no, further, after "shit" but before "symbolism"--

SUBTLETY.

Jesus wept.

No, don't bother trying to tell me what I've missed. I'm a little short on time right now.

[OOC: The aftermath of the escape attempt distracted the succubi enough to let John escape their clutches, and he is now planning his final attack on them, which will lead into his return in a little over a week and this plot a few days later. He's now posting largely to distract his pursuers by deflecting them onto nosy passersby on the Network, because he's a bastard like that. Characters who respond to this post may, if their players want, later mention catching a glimpse of some horrifying, demonic-looking ethereal thing, but fortunately, they will refrain from actually attacking anyone (other than John).]

[*CRASH*]

Ha! Take that, you buggering bastards, you--and all you fucking wankers that pass for gods, too!

[Sound of running; sound of coughing; sound of more running--]

[Transmission ends.]

[OOC: A continuation of this post. John just magically misdirected the two Hollows that were after him so that they crashed straight into the glass walls of the gods' office. Then he took off for the subway while they were dazed. Too bad he's going to be disappointed when he realizes the gods don't actually care that he did a little more damage to their already-bombed office.]

I'm barely even here and already things are going boom. That's charming, that is. This City knows how to welcome a bloke.

And now all the people are acting strange. I ought to stay inside, but--

Fuck me, I'm out of cigarettes.

[Edit]

What the fucking hell is that thing and why is it after me.

--Jesus wept! Another one! They don't look like any bloody demons I know, but--

Shit.

Right. You bastards want me? Follow me here.

[OOC: See this post! John is about as "high spirit level" as you can get, and therefore a) he can see the Hollows and b) the Hollows think he's delicious (even though he probably tastes like cheap cigarettes and booze, ick). He does not, however, have much in the way of offensive capabilities. So he's trying to lead them right up to the deities' office...as much to piss off the City gods as to defend himself. FUN TIMES. Commentspam for those on the Network, actionspam for anyone who encounters him dodging and running through the City!]

[OOC edit: continued here!]
