	Constantine stares intently at the darkhaired man, determined to 
recognize him.  When he does, a slow, wary grin appears.   He takes a long
drag on his ciggarette and blows poison smoke into the air, the grey haze
drifting in the air between him and Dream.
	"Havent seen you in a while mate," John glances around at the variety
of creatures currently inhabiting the bar.  "You looking for some new nightmare
material?"  When reply is not immediately forthcoming, Constanting again seems
confused as to the strangely dressed man's identity.  "You ARE Dream arent 
you?"
	"So what are you doing wandering in this backwater world?  Me?  Im 
looking for a friend is all."
	Constantine smirks at Dream's comments.  "You been speaking with
the powers of darkness again?  There's no way your gonna be taking me 
on any of your trips."  An evil grin appears as Constantine forms a proposal.
"I have an idea.  Next time you see Mr. Asmodus, invite him over here.  Tell
him I've got some holy water brand beer that im sure he'd love to try again."
	"Tell him he's free to try to claim my soul anytime he likes."
	Constantine takes a long drink, trying to keep his hands from shaking.
