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

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]

If there was a battle between your kind and the other residents here, who would you aid?

[eyesofaserpent]

I averted the apocalypse once. I would do it again if I had to.

[answerer_sword]

That is good to know.

...No wonder you got an angel to trust you.

[eyesofaserpent]

He trusted me before the apocalypse. I'm the one who talked him into acting to stop it.

[answerer_sword]

[Now she is just confused.]

Wait, why were you, a demon, trying to stop the apocalypse while he, an angel, was willing to stand by and watch?

[eyesofaserpent]

Have to follow orders and all. It's not his fault. He just has to do the right thing. To be fair, it really didn't take all that much to convince him that the Great Plan is bullshit.

[answerer_sword]

How is causing the apocalypse a good thing?

[If it was, the Mage's Association would not have a branch actively researching ways to prevent it.]

[eyesofaserpent]

It's a part of the Great Plan. Create a world, let it be for 6,000 years, then test it to oblivion. Both his side and my side were gunning for it.

[answerer_sword]

...Why?

[She tries her best to wrap her mind around the fact that God had apparently planned the destruction of the world after a certain amount of time.]

Is it because humanity did something wrong?

[There has to be some purpose.]

[eyesofaserpent]

No, nothing like that. It was just the plan from the start. Before there were even demons and angels. It was always the plan.

[answerer_sword]

[She tries her best to try to understand. It does not match with her idea of a merciful God. However, the last thing she wants to do is to start believing, like Gilles de Rais, that God is evil.]

God's plans...work in mysterious ways.

[She just has to believe that it is all for the best.]

[eyesofaserpent]

It's ineffable and all that rot.

Still, Aziraphale and I put a stop to it and the world seems to be running smoothly ten years later.

[answerer_sword]

How much did it cost the two of you?

[She knows that methods being researched by ATLAS would cause great amounts of damage to the world while preventing it from being completely destroyed.]

[eyesofaserpent]

Cost? Er... Really just Aziraphale's bookshop. It's back, sort of.

[answerer_sword]

Then I hope that someone like you will be around when it comes time for the apocalypse in my world.

[Preventing the apocalypse with such little damage seems to good to be true.]
