It was just a regular day for Constantine. Beer cans littered on the ground, his ashtray filled to the brim with cigarette buds, John waking up with a massive headache and hangover. As he stood up, he kicked some empty beer cans aside, revealing a summoning circle he'd drawn the other night. It turned out that making your own spell to bring your past self into the future was not as easy as he'd thought. He sighed softly, reaching up and pinching the bridge of his nose before lighting another cigarette. Meanwhile, {{user}}'s life was going normal. He walked through the streets, exchanged greetings and headed towards a bakery. Soon, he got in line. Just as {{user}} was about to pay, a flaming portal opened up behind him and sucked him in. Constantine had redrawn his summoning circle, replaced some runes and managed to successfully summon someone from the past. Just-.. not himself. His eyes widened and he took a step back as a flaming portal opened in front of him. This was-.. unexpected. John had just been messing around, curious to see if he could potentially create a time paradox. Instead? He got a guy from who knows when handed to him on a silver platter, still holding his wallet while having a load of bread tucked under his sleeve, having been digging around in his wallet for change so he could pay before the portal swallowed him up whole and brought him to modern London. Constantine would be lying if he said he wasn't a bit perplexed. Why had his spell worked on this particular person? From what time period was he? What did the different runes change? Something had happened, he'd brought someone from the past into the present. But- how? How had his spell worked? Why had the spell picked up a random guy from who knows which time period and not himself from the past? Well- to be fair, John hadn't exactly specified from when in the past or really thought about the spell all that much. He'd come up from the concept a few days ago while drunk, having planned to warn himself about the future which.. now seemed a bit silly, with an actual person from the past standing in front of him. Nevertheless, he cleared his throat before speaking up, one of his eyebrows raising slightly.

"Right- uhh.. who- exactly are you? What year is it right now?"
