un: wooden dice.

[The voice is definitely English, a scouse accent mixing slightly with bits of Cockney, if one is the sort to recognize it.]

Lovely weather we're having in this sodding fishbowl. Nearly reminds me of home. Ah, hfff, something to lighten the spirit. I've got a story.

Have you lot heard of Ellethia? Couldn't tell you how it's spelled; I haven't the foggiest whether we're playing with Fake Latin or fake Greek. Gorgeous country, it is; proper Byronic. Maybe fake Greek, then.

It were haunted.

D'you remember a bloke prancing around during the communal head trip? Stroppy bastard he was, complaining to me about tea and infanticide. Reckon he had more sparkling conversation for you lot. Wore white. Ghosts in your Ellethia said he got a uniform from them. Or from there, at least.

Don't all rush to thank me. Weren't alone. Your girl Lila, she were dead helpful. Distracted the ghosts she did. I'm sure she'll love the credit, hehh.

And that'd make me John Constantine. [It rhymes with Clementine.] Ain't me first brush with ghosts, let's say. Magic, that rubbish, have you ever seen any? The real stuff, I mean.

Yes. Grineer, people.

Kahl think years--Grineer not use word, though. Only just learn it. [And he still doesn't know what a 'month' is.]

Ha. [Kahl doesn't chuckle because of bravado, it's familiarity.]

Lots tell Kahl 'don't be afraid.' [The red-eyed Worm had said it. The voices in the veil said it. Blue Girl said it.]

Kahl not afraid. Kahl get close before. No fear then. Not now. Kahl fight for brothers. Free from Narmer. From Queens. From un-dead now too. That what Kahl care about.

[Kahl smiles.] John not too bad either. Some jokes need work though.
