Announcement from the Bureau

[Mr. Martin appears on the screen and though it seems impossible to those who have interacted with the man before, but he looks grumpier than ever before.]

I'm sure all of you noticed the flash of light that hit New York City a half hour ago. Rest assured the light should have no ill-effects on you whatsoever.

[His frown deepens as he continues.]

After a preliminary investigation, the Bureau discovered a number of portals bridging our universe with that of another universe. We cannot stress this enough but we caution you to avoid these portals. It should go without saying that another universe is unpredictable and likely to be unstable in some way. We cannot vouch for the safety of these portals or for how long they will remain open. It would be terrible if one of you should become trapped on the other side.

As of right now, it seems nothing from the other universe is crossing over to our side. But we cannot guarantee it will remain that way forever. We are working on a solution to the problem.

Do not make this more difficult for the Bureau! [That last part is gruffer than he usually sounds.]

You should have a drink, a hot shower and - do you know how to meditate? This might be a good time to learn.
darkforcerising: (AU considering what you said)

[personal profile] darkforcerising 2020-06-20 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, you're kind of a troll.

[personal profile] neverjedi 2020-06-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Herding cats would be an easier and more appreciated job than wrangling us and portals to other universes.

I'm helping
darkforcerising: (AU now padme dont be angry but)

[personal profile] darkforcerising 2020-06-20 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, you do know how to meditate. So he should take you up on the offer.
neverjedi: (Default)

[personal profile] neverjedi 2020-06-20 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
He should. It certainly helped me when I was wrangling you....
darkforcerising: (Oh really)

[personal profile] darkforcerising 2020-06-20 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you mean here or in your memories?
neverjedi: (j)

[personal profile] neverjedi 2020-06-21 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I am teaching you in both.

Also, why don't you come over. We'll do a meditation session and definitely stay away from those portals.
darkforcerising: (smirk)

[personal profile] darkforcerising 2020-06-21 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Omg, more meditation?

Fine. But I'm going to complain the whole time.
neverjedi: (Default)

[personal profile] neverjedi 2020-06-21 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
I am sure that you will.
darkforcerising: (smirk)

[personal profile] darkforcerising 2020-06-21 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
I can only be who I am.
darkenedmoon: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2020-06-20 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
If nothing else, you should have a nice cup of chamomile tea, and put on some nice classical music. Something calming, like Holst's "The Planets". I can suggest the Venus or the Jupiter suite, though the latter is a bit energetic, but not heavy like Mars or some of the outer planets...
neverjedi: (Default)

[personal profile] neverjedi 2020-06-20 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I support tea as an alternative or addition to alcohol and certainly approve of soothing music. Good thoughts.
darkenedmoon: (as innocent as it gets)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2020-06-21 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Tea first! Less worry about a headache in the morning, then. But if the tea doesn't work, well. Perhaps a nice stiff drink is then in order.
neverjedi: (Default)

[personal profile] neverjedi 2020-06-21 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Followed by a cup of tea in the morning to manage the headache if it comes to that.
darkenedmoon: (Default)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2020-06-21 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes. But preferably, lots of water and some sort of painkiller the night before. I am not as young as I used to be, and even I can face the office in the morning.
neverjedi: (Default)

[personal profile] neverjedi 2020-06-21 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
And Mr. Martin's job seems much more stressful than usual.
darkenedmoon: (what's that over there?)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2020-06-21 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if he's ever been a parent. The last thing I should tell Elliott is "don't do something"...it's like a moth to flame, then.
serpentinthegarden: (Moral argument)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2020-06-21 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
There are magical portals appearing all over town and you're telling us not to go into them?

[ Anthony smirked in front of the far too tempting portal backdrop he was standing in front of. ]

Don't think of it as difficult, think of it as a challenge!

[ And he would just be stepping right on through. ]
temptationaccomplished: (now just wait a gosh darn moment)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-06-21 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Anthony, if you step into that portal--! [Oh, too late.]

However contrary you enjoy being toward the Bureau, perhaps we ought to exercise just a little caution... [Says a man who could definitely be persuaded/tempted along after a little coaxing.]
serpentinthegarden: (Happy demon)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2020-06-21 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ His head and shoulders pop back out so that he appears to be just a torso floating in midair to anyone passing by. ]

Funny thing about these portals, once you step through them your phone goes all staticy.

Were you about to warn me off?

[ The warmest of evil smiles~ ]

I've only popped in for a look around. So far it reminds me of those pictures you see of the Middle East, maybe Morocco. I've never been to Morocco before. Come on Aziraphale, let's exercise a little caution on the other side! They have the most amazing looking fruit and nut tarts. I'd send a picture but the reception... Its better to see them in person anyway!
temptationaccomplished: (temptation accomplished)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-06-21 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I was. [You fiend. You must know how that smile does funny things to him.]

That sounds marvelous. I polished off those ones from your mother and have been longing for more. And Morocco. Sounds positively divine.

But I couldn't possibly...
serpentinthegarden: (Ticketyboo)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2020-06-21 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Funny things like getting you to hop through portals? Then clearly he should smile all the brighter. ]

Why not? It doesn't hurt.

[ He swayed a bit in the in-between world he was in trying to lure his angel in. ]

Just tingles a bit.
temptationaccomplished: (he's looking for trouble)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-06-21 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Brow raise.] Is that why you're straddling two worlds? Enjoying the tingle?

I suppose...I could come see it. For a tart. Seems a bit unwise, but it's not every day one gets to see a whole other civilization and world.
serpentinthegarden: (You are so cute)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2020-06-22 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ How that happy smile twisted into a wicked smirk. He had Aziraphale thinking interesting things already! ]

It's something to pass the time with until some one with a better offer comes around.

Come on then, I'll buy you a tart and a meal to go along with it.
temptationaccomplished: (smug bastard)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-06-22 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Someone with a better offer, hm? And here I was hoping to parlay your offer of a tart and meal into that better offer. I suppose I’ll just have to amuse myself after our luncheon. Maybe find some art to purchase from the locals.
serpentinthegarden: (Aw paint splotch)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2020-06-22 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like anyone with a better offer has stopped by yet. Feel free to parlay.
temptationaccomplished: (salutaria!)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-06-22 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I’d hate to occupy your very sought-after time, darling, should someone more tempting come along.
serpentinthegarden: (Not so thrilled with that)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2020-06-22 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ His smile darkened just a flicker at the teasing. ]

If some one more tempting came along you wouldn't have to worry about monopolizing my time, I'd just take off with them.

[ Not like that was ever going to happen as Anthony couldn't think of a person in the world more tempting... ]

Are you coming or not?
temptationaccomplished: (laughs nervously)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-06-22 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He thinks back to accusations thrown about during the family dinner with regard to infidelity and the fickle affection of Crowley men. His smile is a little hesitant but he nods.]

Yes, of course. Just a moment to get across town to your portal.
serpentinthegarden: (Eyes for you)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2020-06-22 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not being aware of the horrible thoughts his rebuttal had caused Anthony brightened again, as if his day had just been made perfect by Aziraphale's agreement. ]

It's on the street right outside my flat, can't miss it!

[he is not here at the moment, quite obviously in an airport, but he looks cross to put it mildly]

Oh Jesus Christ what the fuck are you on now?
