Announcement from the Bureau

[tramitis]

[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.]

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]

It's not like anyone with a better offer has stopped by yet. Feel free to parlay.

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh, I’d hate to occupy your very sought-after time, darling, should someone more tempting come along.

[ 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]

[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.

[ 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!
