Drink Count: 29 || Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what you're doing to me

[eyesofaserpent]

[Aziraphale is gone. Or, well... A drone, more rather. He gets a sense that this might be permanent. It's been several days now and Crowley's gone by 852 Goldberg to check and see if the angel has come out of it yet. But even his wings are gone.

It breaks his heart to see Aziraphale like this. He can never bear to stay long when he comes to check on him. It's like his whole foundation is shattering more, the longer he stays with this shell that was once the angel he desperately loves.

And now also his not!wife is a drone. What the fuck, universe?]


A. [Park: Around Noon]

[Crowley is sitting alone on a bench and feeding the ducks some bread.]


B. [Olney's Tavern: Evening]

[Cowley's behind the bar and drinking a lot more than he usually does. And not even the cocktails he normally drinks, but just scotch on the rocks. Even his wings are starting to become a reflection of his mental state, the normally sleek and immaculate appendages are untidy with the occasional falling feather.]

Ducks?

Never seen 'm. Still, you seem properly depressed, so she'll watch for a moment...

And then sit down herself? Well now! That's new of her.

"..." ...Not saying anything isn't new though.

[eyesofaserpent]

He looks over and wonders just exactly why this unfamiliar woman picked his bench to sit at. He shrugs and goes back to tearing little bits of bread to toss to the ducks.

Crowley lives at 852 Goldberg doesn't he..? >->

[windows_hyliaedition]

[[The housing post says so at least. :U Cause so does Fi. xD]]

The young woman (arguably a girl at her 'age' really) sits in silence for a short time, before eventually speaking.

"...What do these creatures eat, when there is no bread?"

Oh. Yes. I missed that somehow and I just checked the housing. ffff

[eyesofaserpent]

He shrugs. "Small fish, aquatic plants. Things like that."


((ooc: You can assume Crowley hasn't really been home the last couple of days.))

Alright, that works~

[windows_hyliaedition]

"I see."

Beat.

"...Has someone within your household also been droned then?"

[eyesofaserpent]

"Yes, but we weren't especially close."

Wilhelmina's droning didn't bother him too much. Yet another droned wife.

[windows_hyliaedition]

Stare.

"There is a difference then, in how others care?" It might be good to note by now that everything out of her mouth has been in monotone. It is as though she has no emotions whatsoever... Or at least, isn't used to having them.

[eyesofaserpent]

"Of course there is."

What the hell are you, little bird?

"Some people will always mean more than others."

[windows_hyliaedition]

"I see. Even from within the same household, this occurs?" Hnnnn. "...It seems I have much to learn concerning the workings of emotional beings then." ...Yeeeup.

Fi you're kinda creepy...

[eyesofaserpent]

"Sounds like it... Granted, the 'families' you find here aren't like ones you would find in the real world. These ones are just shoved together without any rhyme or reason."

[windows_hyliaedition]

"I have noticed. In my home realm, I observed that many of the living species had similar household constructions however- such a relationship seemed to exist between my current 'sibling' and the former mother figure. She did not react well to her droning, though it would appear that the lawn has recovered from its burned state."

...Wait Crowley, wasn't that YOUR lawn that Shana destroyed on her way out the door..?

[eyesofaserpent]

.... It's a good thing he'd been out at the time. If his Bentley had been burned...

"Er.... Where are you living?"

[windows_hyliaedition]

"My current residence is '852 Goldberg'."

[eyesofaserpent]

"Oh.... Er.... Yeah, I can't imagine Shana taking Wilhelmina's droning well..."

He frowns, tossing some more bread.

"Sorry I haven't been home. I'm Crowley, your 'dad'."

[windows_hyliaedition]

She bows her head, expression and tone both unchanging as ever. "Greetings to you then. I am called 'Fi'." ...

Like an F-Sharp. Exactly like an F-Sharp actually. Hoh.

[eyesofaserpent]

"It's, er... Good to meet you.It's a shame it's under such terrible circumstances."

[windows_hyliaedition]

"Indeed. The timing is not at all appropriate, from what I have observed since arriving here.

"Is that why you have come to this precise location to feed the water fowl?" They are birds. They live in water. That is a good enough name for them then, yes.

[eyesofaserpent]

"I..." He looks down.

"I've lost a very close friend. This is something we would do from time to time."

[windows_hyliaedition]

"You have my condolences." Might have been a little teensie bit of emotion in that one. Huh.

[eyesofaserpent]

"Thanksss."

He appreciates it, really. Even if he is kind of bad at expressing it.

Fi's world only has weird monster toad things. =n= ...ohandLoftwings.

[windows_hyliaedition]

Well at least he's not the worst.

Looking back to the ducks now... "...What are they called? These birds." ...Fi why doesn't your world have ducks, what-

awwww

[eyesofaserpent]

He looks at the ducks, blinking behind his shades.

"Er... They're called ducks."

I suppose they have song birds too, but I have never ever seen a duck in Zelda. :|a

[windows_hyliaedition]

"I see." Hn. "They did not exist in the world I came from."

[eyesofaserpent]

"Weird. They're pretty common on my Earth."

[windows_hyliaedition]

"That is quite likely the reason. I am not from 'earth'. The land I am from is quite different- though there is a race similar to humans present upon it for example, humans themselves do not exist."
