Drink Count: 15 || Did Someone Say Double Presents? (Backdated to 12/25)

[eyesofaserpent]

A. [Action: 915 Bilko Boulevard, Locked to residents and perhaps Aziraphale and Giles if they'd stayed over the night before]

[Crowley wakes to find presents under the tree. Some even have his name on them. From the town, the demon received a pair of his favorite snakeskin shoes and another power. He tests out the power by transforming his

[After the events of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Bazett decides she needs a drink. It anything, it would dull the throbbing pain emitting from her crest.]

One Irish whiskey, please.

[answerer_sword]

[That explains it. From the information he has given, it seems that he is one of the Fiendish Kind.]

So what is your agenda here, Crowley?

[She glares at him coldly, as if daring him to claim that he is here to wreak death, destruction, or world conquest.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[He arches a brow over his shades at her.]

Agenda? What makes you think I have an agenda?

[answerer_sword]

You demons always have an agenda.

[There is a reason that mankind does not trust demons, after all.]

[eyesofaserpent]

There's no need to generalize, mate. I'm not much like the majority of my kind. Aziraphale would tell you as much.

[answerer_sword]

I am afraid that I cannot bring myself to trust you much.

Who is Aziraphale? Is he here?

[eyesofaserpent]

I'm not out to bring the destruction of mankind. I rather like people.

As for Aziraphale, he's a mate of mine. An angel. Mayfield sent him to live at 1487 Kramden Road, though I think he spends more time at my place when I'm not working.

[answerer_sword]

[A demon that became friends with an angel...it sounds almost too much to believe. However, there were many otherwise unbelievable things that happened in Mayfield.]

I suppose I will have to trust you for now.

[At least, he has shown no hostile inclinations toward her yet.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley doesn't really do hostile. Crafty, subtle schemes, yes. He's all for large scale plans that work on lots of people just a little bit. But really, when it gets down to it, blood makes him squeamish.]

Appreciated.

[answerer_sword]

Just out of curiosity...what powers do you have access to as a demon?

[She is not actually expecting an answer.]

[eyesofaserpent]

Certainly not what I'm used to. Mayfield hasn't returned everything to me yet.

[answerer_sword]

I understand. I too am unused to operating without my usual powers.

[eyesofaserpent]

I never really though of my abilities as being individual things. More like facets of the same thing that is me. Clearly the town thinks otherwise.

[answerer_sword]

The logic of this place baffles me at times. For example, they can give me back a weapon dependent on "magic," and yet not return the "magic" that goes along with it.

[eyesofaserpent]

Oh, hell that's a bit daft. Granted, I got back my GPS and it's entirely useless without the satellites telling it what's what.

[answerer_sword]

A GPS...is that some sort of advanced demon weapon?
