[ You stay where you are. We're coming to collect you.

Those two statements from his most recent dream echoed in his mind throughout the day, making him nervous enough to startle when ever his office door had opened or one of the many NYBG gardeners had stepped out of the bushes to ask him a question. It was absolutely ridiculous! His finger drummed on his desk as he settled on a wild contingency plan... The only problem with it was he needed some help to pull it off. ]

Hey, anyone out there want to make a few bucks under the table?

You're the one making it weird. [now his ears are oddly red so deflecting is a go]

[scotch_egg]

[temptationaccomplished]

That's disgusting, you're terrible, and I am infinitely glad I never had siblings.

[temptationaccomplished]

That wasn't at ALL what I was suggesting.

[scotch_egg]

[the next time he is just going to leave being cheeky to someone else. It's clearly not his style. He's just going to extract himself from the conversation and drown himself in tea]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Victory goes to the demon. ]

[serpentinthegarden]

No? It's a great idea! I'm not sure why I never thought of it before now.

[temptationaccomplished]

Don't think I don't see you admiring your handiwork. You're awfully feisty today. What's gotten into you?

[scotch_egg]

[yes, fine. He'll let Ellie put a wrench in your plans]

[scotch_egg]

Regret. [and that's all he'll say about that]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Readies himself for Round Two - Ellie! ]

[temptationaccomplished]

Good lord, what have I done. [Feeling Alec's "Regrets" vibe hard right now.]

[temptationaccomplished]

Evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction.

[serpentinthegarden]

You inspired a brilliant idea. Just like an angel should.

[scotch_egg]

Right. Sorry. [he hadn't thought it was evil but it was starting to leave a bad taste in his mouth regardless]

[temptationaccomplished]

I'm not supposed to inspire brilliance. I'm fairly sure I'm supposed to inspire good.

[temptationaccomplished]

[would serve you right if it left a sugary fruity taste.]

Oh, Alec. The suggested vulgarity of it caught me surprise is all, coming from you. It's alright.

[serpentinthegarden]

Eh... the end result will be good? For me.

And safer for all you lot.

[scotch_egg]

[that made it worse. He's just going to take a long walk and bury himself in the library for a few hours. Don't wait up. And don't follow him either]

[seawalled]

OI! Was that a weight joke? If it was I'll sit on YOU, Alec Crowley!

[temptationaccomplished]

...it's not your job to protect us all, Anthony.

[temptationaccomplished]

[But...but he might need backup for thwarting Anthony!]

[seawalled]

He's making all the rounds tonight, apparently. Don't pay him any mind, I brought madelines home from work and I'll save you a pack. We can enjoy ourselves together and refuse to share.

[seawalled]

... Okay, okay, this is news. Am I going to just have to blanket ask all of you what's going on?
