Glitch time! Angel man ain't so angelic

[english_dignity]

Who: Arthur Kirkland
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Málum (Crowley's bar)
When: Feb 15, evening

[Luckily for the fleet, Arthur's decided to broadcast near the beginning of his evening, meaning he's still on his first glass and reasonably sober.]

Would anyone be up for a bit of a trip down to the ring tomorrow? I've been hearing some nice things about the area and it might be nice to get outside for a day or two. Especially after how artificial everything was at the last place. And it's always better with company.

[Takes another sip and sneezes, shaking his head. As he does... well, his control of his powers slips and a pair of wings pops out of his back, halo glowing over his head, and typical clothes swapped in a second to a matching white tunic. He doesn't notice until he picks up his glass for another sip and sees the reflection.]

...bugger.

[Tosses back the rest of the glass and ends the broadcast. Going to need another one.]

Comments

[onlyanapple]

No. Hence the sarcasm.

[A touch accusatory: ]

You're not a real angel.

[english_dignity]

Believe me, I'm under no delusions about that.

[Eyes him sideways.]

Have experience in the matter, do you?

[onlyanapple]

Glad to hear it. It would be terribly uncouth of you otherwise.

[He'll go back to working. ]

Vast, yes.

[english_dignity]

Long story, I imagine?

[Eyes his empty glass. Hm, how did that happen?]

These started showing up when the Church of England did. Though not usually out of the blue like this.

[onlyanapple]

Eternally long.

[He doesn't pay attention at first. He's kind of a shitty barkeep. ]

So they're a manifestation of a fat guy's need to bone someone other than his first wife? That's...rather bizarre.

[english_dignity]

[Snorts.]

It's older than that. Henry just separated it from the Vatican.

And wasn't that a headache and a half, as much as the end result was rather favorable.

[Holds up his glass.]

Mind a refill?

[onlyanapple]

Then it was technically just the church. Not that it matters, really. Just whole new ways for mortals to try and pick fights with one another.

[Though all of it just blended into one for the demon. He finally reaches over for the glass. Ugh, expecting him to do this JOB, Arthur, really? ]

I suppose. Same again?

[english_dignity]

Not according to church history. And when your boss is the head of said church, it matters.

[Shrugs his shoulder, offering the glass. Could just give him the bottle, but it might not last long.]

Please.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives a soft, amused snort. ] Oh, you have no idea.

[There you go, he'll pour a drink all the same.]

[english_dignity]

[Could say the same to you. Shakes his head and accepts his refill.]

Who mess of complicated politics anyway.

[onlyanapple]

I tend not to dabble in them. They're all the same at the end, whoever wins a political battle is just the person who can shout the loudest, honestly.

[english_dignity]

[Snorts into the drink, may smirk just a little.]

Sometimes that statement can be perfectly literal too.

[onlyanapple]

...Yes, sometimes it really can be.

[english_dignity]

Unfortunately, staying out of politics has never been an option for me. Sort of born into it.

[onlyanapple]

What? Son of a politician? Or nobility?

[english_dignity]

Neither. They have the option to retire.

[Takes a sip. What the hell, what could it cost him here?]

Human personification of England. [Glances back at the wings.]>/small> Humanish.

[onlyanapple]

...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That're here you felt familiar. I knew America, back in the other place.

[Got married to him thanks to the castle's machinations once, but Arthur doesn't need to know that. ]

[english_dignity]

[Perks up.]

You knew Alfred? Figures he'd get himself mixed up in this sort of thing too. Was that in space as well? Bet he'd have loved that.

[onlyanapple]

Nah, never saw him in space. But still. He was an interesting guy. What little I knew of him, anyway.

[english_dignity]

Well I can't deny that. Even if he was much sweeter when he was little.
