.｡.:*☆ Crowley could not say he was happy in this place. Sure, he liked being on Earth. He had been rebelled against Apocalypse and all for a reason, after all. But something about Ivy Cove was not right, given the fake memories someone had been planting into his head after pulling him here.

And, not only that. Crowley was also bored. As much fun as the mortals could be, he already knew this all. Had seen and done most things already during the centuries of existence. And now... now he was single again, thanks to aziraphale's decisions. Which really was no fun, either. It sucked big, actually. At least, from his point of view.

He’d just been talking to a man - a vampire, from what Crowley had found out - but he’d vanished. Most likely looking to find some prey somewhere. the demon sighed, shaking his head.

“Guess I do not have anyone now to share my booze with. What a pity, really….“

That sound was unmistakable. Flutter of wings, a rather ANNOYING presence behind him. Behind shaded glasses, Crowley rolled his serpentine eyes. They were quite fond of leaving heavenly relationships where the demon had left them: BURNING in a pool of sulfur right alongside their angelic name. There was little love lost on both sides, albeit perhaps a modicum of BITTERNESS. Either way, Crowley was more than content to live the rest of their days on Earth, having developed some sort of fondness for it. Clearly that wasn't meant to be considering here they were, having their morning drink of whiskey quite annoyingly INTERRUPTED.

❝ If you're here to smite, ❞ they started, pausing only to take a drink; they were going to need as much as they could get to get through this conversation, ❝ Then I'm going to have to say no on any sort of fighting. ❞ The redheaded demon paused, turning slightly to actually face the angel they had picked up on. Some days, they could quite contently be minding their OWN business with minimal chaos and that could still ruffle the pearly white feathers of some angels. Compared to most other demons, Crowley liked to think they were quite literally the lesser of evils.

At least they weren't trying to bring on literal APOCALYPSES.

❝ If you're here for anything else—— the answer is still NO. I think I've met my quota this century for dealing with angels. Which is NONE, by the way. ❞ Just stay out of whatever heavenly DISASTER was upon them this time.

@hiddenpxpercuts || Crowley for Maeve

.｡.:*☆ "Damn, can't believe that people are already starting with Halloween stuff again...." Crowley glanced at the wall already advertising new movies and various holiday-related parties.

"Like, aren't they aware that stuff like this gets pretty old and boring after the years?"

@roarunderpxpercuts || Crowley & Klaus cont. from x bc beta editor

.｡.:*☆  "Wild story, huh. Mind to share? I even got booze." Like, of course Crowley was curious. How could he not be? Even with being as ancient as him, a hybrid was nothing he would meet each day like this.

"And, fallen angel, yes. And, do not tell me now vampired and werewolves are okay. But angels are a thing coming from fairytales." Sighing theatrical, Crowley shifted a little to be able to unflod his wings - all huge and all black. Not caring whom might actually watch him doing so.

"And yeah, I ended up being kicked out of Heaven. Not that I've planned it. But the big old man does not like his minions asking questions, so.... he waved his hand, shrugging. "And yeah, Chicago was fun. But hey, Pompeji was too before it got all covered up in ashes." Another shrug. "The only thing that really bothers me, is that we can not leave. As in, I like to decide myself where I do like to go on most days, really."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "A bet?" Head tilted to the side, Crowley had watched everything going on for a couple of minutes already when the other had decided to speak up to him. It was sort of entertaining, and so far, no one had labelled him as a creep for watching children playing in the park, so, all was good.

"Well, depends on the bet," The demon then mused, shrugging casually. "And on what I will get after I won, of course."

Mammon mostly kept to himself, even as he watched his kids playing in the park. Green eyes watching with pride, as his little girl wins the race. He laughs, holding out his hand to another parent....who gives him money. After counting it, he hands his daughter money.

"Go on kiddo, get some ice cream for your troubles." Said Mammon, the little girl smiles and runs off. The King of Greed continues counting his money. "Ah humans, so ready to just toss their money away on a good gamble. "

He paused, and looked to a random passerby.

"Care for a bet? Your choice." Said the sin.

@ivypapercutsxo || Crowley & Matt

.｡.:*☆ "If you ever wondered what Hell might feel like - this here is pretty similar...." Chuckling dryly, Crowley waved his hand around before shaking his head. "Minus the elephants, of course. You usually do not have them in Hell. Only, you know, demons who hunt and torture you..."

Another shrug as she demon went to get himself something to drink. "Alright, enough of the weather talk. Now, we need to find a way to leave this place again. Because there is no way I am going to spend eternity here, thank you very much."

@nerdynanny | starter call

Well that was a curious sight. Someone actually leaving the bookshop with a book in hand. And in a HURRY, too. They had almost knocked Crowley down with the door in their quickened pace. The demon didn't really give it much thought once they had regained their balance and entered the familiar setting. Their eyebrows were still furrowed slightly as the shades were removed and placed haphazardly onto the statue as usual. ❝  Angel? ❞ Crowley called. Part of them had to wonder if Aziraphale had somehow managed to gain some sort of CONCUSSION to actually be selling books. ❝  You alright? Your customer or whatever practically PLOWED through me to get out of here. ❞

@coreofgold || Crowley for Zira

.｡.:*☆ That Zira turned him down was something Crowley was not taking well, to say at least. After all, the demon had opened himself up to the other. Something that was not happening often, or, well, usually not at all.

So, spotting Zira's shop in the streets of DC made Crowley feeling bitter. "Well, well, well...." He mused after opening the door and stepping inside. "Did not expect you to make yourself a home Here. Really, Azaphriel? After everything that has happened?"

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "Surely." The demon chuckled dryly and shook his head. He was not for violence as solution on a daily basis, but damb, those men had really pushed their luck here. And he had been irritated enough as it was already.

"Those champs over there might be an entirely different story, though. But they did ask for it, so, I can not even exactly feel sorry for them, I guess."

❝ i don’t need your help. ❞ (from Crowley) @ofcelestialstories

"well it's a good job i wasn't offering then, isn't it?" emma retorted, simply looking over at the man. she had merely saunter over to see what had happened at the scene, not that she was ever going to offer any kind of help, no matter what had happened. emma never did, unless there was something in it for her.

@roarunderpxpercuts​ || Crowley for Klaus

.｡.:*☆ “Well, well, well.... a vampire lurking around in the darkness.” Crowly chuckled, assuming he had spotted the other way before he could have been spotted himself. And, even if not, he would act like it would have happened this way, anyway.

“Can’t even say I am surprised,” He added casually, pulling down his sunglasses to reveal a pair of snake eyes. “You lot always have this aura, do you know that? Like, a little arrogant, and like you would basically own the world.” Was it dangerous to mock a supernatural like this? Maybe. But, Crowley was only joking, it was no sign of disrespect coming from him, really.

“So, I would guess now that does actually apply to you, as well. Am I right, or am I right?”

.｡.:*☆ "I do guess so?" Still, there was something nagging on him lately. Crowley could not tell yet what it was, though. Something about him and Zira. About their future together....

He shock the thought off again, frustrated. Crowley did not like to dwell on things like this. It was exhausting.

"And, yeah. Mean, whoever did this - bringing us here and all - would have been pretty stupid when then making sure this war would reach us here." The demon shrugged. "Also, why not get away anyway over the holidays? Within our limits, that is. But yeah, bondi beach. If that is what you want?"

aziraphale was still nervous, as it was his nature. the literal king of hell couldn’t be all good…the angel wouldn’t let his guard down. “we survived once, we’ll survive again…right?” azi replied nervously. “besides, this is a new world. i’m not entirely sure the war will even happen. i know that sounds preposterous, but so does magically being transported to 1920’s sydney, australia.” he reasoned. perhaps it was wishful thinkng, but he wasn’t sure it was entirely untrue or unreasonable. still…the idea of finding somewhere quiet again sounded nice. “well, my bookshop is always safe…and it is still a neutral boundary between heaven and hell. otherwise…perhaps a nice beach get away? i here bondi is very popular.” aziraphale offered casually, like this didn’t sound like a couple going on vacation.

@ivypapercutsxo || Crowley & Alastor

.｡.:*☆ "So, from demon to demon - what do you think is actually the purpose of this place?" Crowley crossed his legs in front of himself a took a sip of his wine. He was glad Alastor had found time to meet again. Because even when Crowley was sort of fond of the mortal, eternity still turned out to be pretty boring after a while.

"Also, what about your hotel? It did just pop up here one day, didn't it? And all those other buildings as well. Like, what has this city planned? Trying to make some of us feel more cozy by giving them access to something familiar?"

[fallencrowns]

@monmuses asked: ❝ no star burned brighter … ❞ (azi @ crowley bc this lowkey would have so much angst behind it HJFSJHA)

❝ And all stars DIE, Angel. Trust me, I created most of them. ❞ It was said somberly, serpentine gaze breaking away from Aziraphale. Speaking of the Fall from time to time was one thing though still not a subject he cared to discuss much. More in passing than anything and usually a topic Crowley was quick to brush aside. But speaking of his actual time in Heaven, of being an ANGEL—— that was another matter entirely and one they had barely only discussed. He had put that life behind him, accepted his fate at least somewhat as a demon and held no misconceptions about his place in the world.

Heaven and God had cast him out so RUTHLESSLY that it was a time better left in the dust. Oh, he could have been grand. Zadkiel, Archangel and leader of the Dominions. Most modern and ancient texts didn't even include him amongst the fallen for some reason. But he had DARED to question her holiness. Angel of mercy and forgiveness, of course he would question the Almighty's plans to EXTERMINATE humanity when their path of sin had been predetermined. She was all knowing, she had to know what was to come.

If anything, it was part of his very post to speak out on behalf of the majority of humans that had yet to even be created. A lingering reminder of who he had once been when the Apocalypse had nearly started. The humans didn't DESERVE to be wiped out so cruelly for something they couldn't help.

It was how they were MADE. And to shut down the entire universe for some great 'ineffable plan' hadn't sat right with him.

What could he have done with his angelic power? Sure, he was still plenty powerful but no one was quick to trust a DEMON and they had every right not to. Maybe he would have been able to bring an end to the apocalypse even quicker. Maybe he would have been on Heaven's side preparing for war. There was no telling with all the great big what-ifs of the universe that God would claim to KNOW. Could a demon actually even commit blasphemy by even doubting that?

There was a reason he never spoke of who he was. He had to wonder if Aziraphale even KNEW given how he had never said his name back then. He'd been too preoccupied with the BEAUTY of the universe that had just been created. ❝ All stars die. And all they leave behind is a great big black hole. Not even sure why we created those, but—— there are better stars in the sky still SHINING bright. And I hope just one gets to be the exception to the rule. ❞

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "Well, then colour me impressed." These days, the demon had to search for distractions everywhere, his life feeling like it was rather dull and boring, at this point.

"Any chance you would dance with me at some point, maybe." It surely was not everyone's cip of tea. But when it came to Rogue - and most people, really - Crowley could not know, if he did not ask.

@ofcelestialstories || ❝ did you rehearse this ? ❞ (from Crowley)

"Did I rehearse this? Of course not." Rogue smirked a little, as he lifted a brow at the stranger. "I am just filled with effortless talent. And an overabundance of practice. I was a dancer when I needed to be in my past life, so I have some experience. But surprisingly no, I didn't rehearse any of that."
