Hey people.

[The man in the dark shades waved coolly at the screen as he sat on the edge of a small stone fence. It was freezing cold outside but in spite of the clouds that appeared whenever he spoke Crowley didn't seem to notice.]

We've all been brought here, had our powers taken and dolled out to us again in much smaller pieces... it's inconvenient, like being trapped in a baby walker... or trying to save the universe with your hands tied behind your back.

Point is, I need some volunteers who are skilled with Light magic, Healing magic, Animal magic, Kinetic magic and maybe another Elemental magic user who thinks they would be up to controlling sand. Think of it as training.

Also Angel, meet me on the Inn roof before midnight. Not sure it would work with an angel and a demon but if it does we could use some good luck for the new year.

[He doesn't know about the fireworks. Those are going to be a nice surprise.]

We’ll make our own luck.

[serpentinthegarden]

We always have really, but dabbling in tradition might be fun. If you're up for it? You would have to walk past an 'Employee's Only' sign to get up there.

Kinetic magic volunteers, huh? What is my part of the plan should I get in? I will bring some tea from the café after work if that is also okay.

You have kinetic magic, I need something moved kinetically. Bring the tea when you come. There is no rush. It's not like those things I need moved are going to go anywhere if there isn't anyone around to move them.

[scotch_egg]

And just what are you up to?

[all the suspicious. Being on voice only isn't suspicious at all]

voice

[serpentinthegarden]

What make you think I'm up to anything that warrants a tone like that?

[ Being a demon aside, and equally suspicious over the purely vocal recording. ]

You at work?

[temptationaccomplished]

[Guess who is here but not here. Will his favorite boys be joining forces? Should he bring popcorn?]

If you need an animal magic volunteer I can probably be of assistance... I'd like like to know what you're planning to do.

Audio : Un; birdie

[serpentinthegarden]

It's an eviction. I would just like to do it nice and easy instead of... digging them up or... you know.

[ He made a gesture of cutting across his neck with a finger. ]

It would be too messy that way.

[dvine]

If no one else volunteers, I have light magic. I can't fight, however, so maybe I should be the last resort?

un: @perfectcopy; voice

[serpentinthegarden]

Never said anything about fighting. What I had in mind was a sort of sustained light source kind of deal, like a miniature sun. Ever tried to make anything like that?

[unhappy]

Has anyone really been here long enough to be considered "skilled"?

video; un: ems

[serpentinthegarden]

I have no idea how long any of you have been here.

[ That would have required asking people about themselves... ]

Besides some of you might be naturally gifted or magic using locals.

[birdflipping]

You a demon?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ That was so pointedly stated that Crowley stared blankly at the screen for several awkward moments of silence. ]

Uh, yeah.

[ He ought to say something more? Elaborate on that... ]

That a problem?

Audio, un: Koromaru

[whatsamada]

I don't mind being a volunteer but I wonder I'm curious what kind of training are you thinking of?

Audio, un: Koromaru

[serpentinthegarden]

That depends on what sort of magic you have.

[bakudan_bambino]

I'll volunteer to train with Light Magic. I've already got a solid grasp on it so far.

[The teenager lifts up a stick of dynamite.]

I also have tools to train with that won't drain magical energy. [Yep. Dynamite are tools for him when it comes to training. Hey, it makes the shields stronger if he can use them to contain legitimate explosions.]

[video]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Excuse him while he draws away from the screen with shock. ]

Is that dynamite? I just told some kid I was trying not to blow things up and you're offering dynamite??

If you need assistance with help from animals rather than someone turning into one, I could ask my friends for such help, sir.

Video; UN: Roseofdawn

[serpentinthegarden]

I think I will avoid turning into... anything...

[ Not like he knew whether or not he could still transform into a serpent anyway. ]

But there is this herd of grape eating deer that need to move on. Maybe you could sic your friends on them?

[kiss_it_better]

I have healing magic though I'm sure I'd hardly be considered skilled.

[He's sort of new at this whole magic thing.]

Though if it is something my rather meager skills can help with then I'd be happy to offer.

video; un: li_min

[serpentinthegarden]

I'm not sure really if healing magic would actually work for this but... have you ever tried to use your magic on a plant?

[ Maybe not as he didn't sounds confident about it but couldn't hurt to try! ]

[Walter doesn't know whether to be suspicious, amused, or impressed at the initial message.

You know what? He'll settle for a combination of the above.]

Well, that's one way to get free labour.

SHHHH!

[ Crowley placed a hand over the speaker as if this would prevent anyone else from overhearing.

It wouldn't have... ]

No one has figured that out yet!
