Make your own prompts, set up your own Virtual Realities, etc! For reference, the OOC post with info is over here!]

[There's no argument, just a smile and a]

Yes, dear.

[And he shows up there a few minutes later, loitering around outside and waiting for Crowley to collect him.]

[onlyanapple]

[Hey look, it's Crowley and he's looking exceptionally smug with himself. It's the sort of smugness he carries when he knows something Aziraphale doesn't.

Which is seventy per cent of the time, but still.]

You feel like feeding the ducks?

[principality]

But of course!

[He smiles, and then he blinks.]

But there...er...well, there seem to be a distinct lack of ducks and duck-like animals in space...

[onlyanapple]

Ah, but that's where you'd be wrong.

[He wanders into the VR dome, and starts fiddling with the controls.]

This future technology is something else.

[principality]

[And he's just going to...watch. Quietly. What are u doing Crowley? Are you creating ducks]

[onlyanapple]

[He is creating ALL THE DUCKS. After a few more button presses, suddenly St. James' Park is around them in all its middle class glory. The little canoes moored to one side, the dotted park benches, the winding pathways.

And, most importantly, the duckpond full of ducks. ]

Ta dah!

[principality]

Oh!

[Which is to say, "very well done, old friend".

And then he grins. He feels...giddy? Is that a thing? He steps forward and grabs Crowley's hand and he smiles.

It's the smile he smiles when they're about to do something either:

1) Nice.

2) Completely against the rules.

3) Or he gets a new book.]

Wonderful! Oh! It seems like it's been ages.

[onlyanapple]

It's definitely been ages for me. I mean, there was a duck pond in the castle, but it wasn't quite the same.

We can even get fake bread. To throw to the fake ducks.

[principality]

[He grins brightly.]

Well, come on, then.

[And he's tugging him over to the pond. There's even fake bread wrapped up in a paper bag near the shore. The the ducks flock over, expectantly.

Just like always.]

You know, it's quite odd, when you think about it. Space, all that nonsense.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives a customary disgruntled sigh, to shoe he's doing this to appease the angel and doesn't actually want to do this silly duck thing. It's all a lie, of course. He loves this. He's missed it. ]

I've spent the last five plus years living in a castle that feeds on emotions and can turn into whatever it wants. 'Space' is a pretty easy concept in comparison.

[Just gonna lean casually on the railing. Good times. ]

[principality]

[He digs into the back and holds out a slice of bread. Go on, then.]

Oh, heavens. That sounds dreadful. Yes, I think I'd much prefer space to that.

[THE DUCKS ARE RAVENOUS BEASTS and are splashing and quacking as he wiggles his fingers at them, hello, darlings, and then he's throwing little pieces of bread.]

You know they made me a captain? Dreadful.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley takes one, ripping it into chunks to throw at the ducks. ]

It was better than Hell. But only marginally.

[Crowley lets out a laugh at that. ]

They did that for me, too. Stuck with it for the fancy bed, but I resigned this month. Not worth all the hassle.

[principality]

I don't even enjoy the bed. Good is ever-vigilant and all that, you know. I let my crew sleep in it.

[He shakes his head softly.]

It's a dreadful mess, though, the whole captaining business but, er, well, I do rather enjoy it. When we're not getting shot at. Terrible, that.

[onlyanapple]

...That's a flagrant misuse of your bed, angel.

[He sounds so disappointed. Such a waste.]

Well, yes, that's the whole point. It's not supposed to be pleasant.

How're your crew taking to you?
