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.

[temptationaccomplished]

That’s trespassing! We could be arrested!

Or fined!

Of course if it were, say, too frozen over to be readable...or too dark out... Can I really be faulted for not seeing it?

Midnight, you said?

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.

[serpentinthegarden]

Yeah, well, the light bulb in that hall doesn't work.

[ Crowley agreed while making a secret mental note to steal that lightbulb so this would actually be true later. ]

Before midnight! It doesn't work if you don't do it at midnight, right as the clocks strike 12.

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]

[temptationaccomplished]

How convenient.

Yes, yes, alright. Before midnight. How long before? I do need time to drum up a little change to buy us snacks.

[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?]

[serpentinthegarden]

Snacks would be good. What do people usually have for New Years, cheese platters and those weird tiny sausages that fit on crackers?

I'm thinking a half an hour before...and if it gets too cold I can always think up some way to heat things up.

[phoenixwiz]

Alright, I will be coming in soon. Of course, the tea will coming as well. I am almost done with work within less than a hour from now, so give me some time to get changed and bring along the tea too.

[scotch_egg]

Because you're always up to something. What is it? [go away Fell]

[serpentinthegarden]

At the Inn maybe?

[ Sneaky Angel. He can almost see the happy wiggle! ]

A business opportunity. I could use some one with the ability to talk to animals...

[ A glance at the still blank screen. ]

Are you any good with bunnies?

[scotch_egg]

Piss off.

What kind of business opportunity. [he's not saying] Details.

[ He glanced at his watch as while there was no hurry an hour still seemed like a long time for a easily bored demon. ]

Hour, yeah. I'll... find something to get into until then.

[serpentinthegarden]

How about you tell me what you are up to and I will tell you what I'm up to?

[scotch_egg]

You first. [he doesn't trust you as far as he can throw you]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Really! Not trusting your dear sweet cousin?? What is the world coming to? ]

Well... how about I show you? Its just a short trip outside of town.

[phoenixwiz]

Okay, see you then.

(It didn’t took so long after work that he had time to brew some tea (the Avalon equivalent to Darjeeling tea) at work, went back to the Inn with it, showered up, changed into new clothes, and meets up with Crowley, again with the tea on tow within a hour.

And yet Harry is able to do all of them relatively fast, like a very crazy prepared Boy scout.)

Hey, I am here, and so is the tea. (He hands over the tea in a takeout cup to Crowley to drink on.) So, what is my task for this little project of yours?

[scotch_egg]

Tell me. [he's not going anywhere]

[temptationaccomplished]

I recall something about marzipan pigs on the continent, but I’m not entirely sure why. Best probably to stick to the crackers and sausages.

Yes, it’s called a blanket, you wicked thing.

[serpentinthegarden]

Well...

[ He smiled and bobbed his head as if he had only the most innocent of thoughts. ]

I was thinking bonfire. Just a small one for roasting... marzipan pigs. Do they even make those here?

Audio : Un; birdie

[skybound_knight]

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.
