Who: Crowley and YOU
Broadcast: Fleet wide
Action: Malum
When: Forward dated to the 10th

[Crowley can be found behind the bar as normal. Unlike normal, however, he isn't here to give you a stupid time consuming network game, or pose a stupid drinking game or riddle. It's not a day for that kind of thing.

He manages to remain pretty laconic, uncaring - but today he is anything but. He also has a very large bottle of wine he's already half polished off. ]

So, today marks exactly ten years since I last saw home. Not just being here, of course. Adding in all my time in that fucking castle, too. It's a fart in the wind, time-wise, really. I've had longer naps.

[He's always been very vocal about not missing home. Hell is back home, recovering after the near apocalypse and waiting to see if they find him and punish him for what he did. Aziraphale has always been someone who's shown up once in a while, hung about for a bit and then vanished off home again. But...but, it's been an awfully long time since he last saw the angel. And for the first time in a long, long time, he's starting to feel a tug of homesickness.]

...But I guess ten years still counts for something, huh?

I don't know if I should say congratulations or sorry. [He also hopes he's not making a post like this himself in a few years.]

Video

[onlyanapple]

Probably a combination of the both, if we're being honest.

...Only me and you left now. From the first day here.

Re: Video

[goldenglasses]

Alright. Congragusorry then. [He says it with a chuckle that only has a small bit of amusement to it.]

Yeah, we are. Gotta admit, didn't really see that one happening. Does that mean we're really bad at this reality television show if the goal is to be sent home? [If the people gone were really sent home, but that's a depressing thought that he rarely voices.]

Video

[onlyanapple]

I'm laughing on the inside.

I don't know, maybe? I always thought it was the prize after the end of the cycle, but the cycle never seems to end.

Video

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, me too. [Hence his worry for the others.]

Probably should have asked how long this show lasted for before we signed up, huh? I don't think we're getting paid enough for this gig.

That's quite a while to be away from home. It's not always the length of time but how it's spent that may make the difference.

[ Although...it sounds like he's also familiar with sleeping through the better half of a millennia (or ten). ]

[He casts the video a look, arching his eyebrow.]

Thanks for that delightful Hallmark Moment, I'll cherish it always.

[princessences]

[ She narrows her eyes. ]

I'm not sure what a "Hallmark Moment" is, but based on your tone, I can't imagine anything positive.

[onlyanapple]

It means you're being over-sentimental. Now you have a whole new turn of phrase for your repertoire. You're welcome.

determined to get last minute Crowley CR; also video

[Victor hasn't changed out of his Gomez Addams costume yet, but he at least washed off the penciled-in mustache]

Ten years, huh? How many worlds have you lived in other than your own?

heck yes; video

[onlyanapple]

[This is a face Crowley has seen before, but he can't place it, and that's irritating to him. Maybe it was once of those face-twins types. ]

Two. Well, unless you count this place which technically takes us to many worlds. This first place kind of...created other worlds, too. So I suppose the answer there is technically two, but also many?

[jolting]

[Maybe if you picture him with a British accent?]

Same. Sort of. I lived in one world for years and was in another one just before I got here. I haven't seen my home world in... I guess about thirty years or so, technically.

[onlyanapple]

[THAT WOULD HELP.]

Huh, was your other world one of these kidnapp-y places? There's a lot of people here who've done the rounds with them.

[sandywolf]

From the way you say it, I would wager you are not human and ten years is indeed not exactly that long for you, am I right?

Video

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley smiles at the screen.]

I don't know. Is that something important for you to know?

Video

[sandywolf]

'Important' is relative.

[He used to be a professional snoop, there's no saying when a piece of information might become useful.]

Let's say I have a professional and personal interest in other non-humans in the Fleet, seeing as I am one myself. But if I may point this out, this is basically what you said on the feed. It doesn't really take much effort to puzzle it out.

[At least, the 'not human' part. Still not quite clear on what he is, though.]

Video

[onlyanapple]

It wouldn't take much effort to puzzle it out if you asked around. I'm no big secret, never have been.

[But he's going to be contrary- because this guys wants something, and he doesn't really trust that.]

So. What would this interest entail?

[ultima_mortis]

A DECADE IS A LONG TIME TO PASS ANYWHERE AND IN ANY WAY, NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT MIGHT BE COMPARATIVELY. THAT IS WHY SUCH A PERIOD OF TIME IS GIVEN A UNIQUE NAME.

[onlyanapple]

I suppose. But for being like us...well, it's like a spit in the bucket. Generally speaking.

[ultima_mortis]

GENERALLY. THAT DOES NOT PREVENT US FROM FEELING PAIN WHEN COMPREHENDING THE PASSAGE OF TIME.

[onlyanapple]

I suppose not, no. It was honestly a lot easier when the only other being I spent time with was also immortal.

[krammbunctious]

Hey - got that blonde ale for you, where you want it?

[Kramm walks into the bar with heavy steps - a keg nestled on his shoulder with a beefy arm encircling it.]

Ten years, huh? That's quite a stretch of time.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley smiles, because of course he'll take some booze, of course. He opens up a back door, to allow Kramm passage.]

Well, look at that. I won't say no to this. You've been busy.

[He shrugs.]

I suppose. It never used to be, but I've been living with mortals for all that time. I guess it's rubbed off on me a bit.

[krammbunctious]

[He walks in and sets it down wherever Crowley indicates.]

Mortals, huh? You some kind of lich? You don't look very lichy ... [Twisting the keg back and forth until it's perfect. He fusses, it's like his child.]

[onlyanapple]

[Awww lookit him fuss at the keg.]

I'm sure it's fine, and no I'm not a lich. I'm a demon. So...close, I guess.
