Interaction with Aziraphale and Crowley

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

The muns have decided it might be a good idea to post a brief explanation of what the FH community as a whole can expect from interaction with Aziraphale and Crowley. For those of you not familiar with the Good Omens fandom, Aziraphale is an angel and Crowley is a demon. They hold relatively minor status, though, and are not particularly powerful. Certainly they have very little sway over the plans made on either side.

They've also been friends for a good long time, and having spent nearly all of Time living in the human world, they've become very fond of it. Their purposes are to tempt and thwart, providing the choices of Good or Evil that give humans their Free Will. In reality, neither much cares for making a show of it. They prefer to work their influence in the smallest ways possible, get it over with, and then go out for a nice pint. Because of their unique friendship, they have reached an Arrangement, and are extremely loyal to one another.

So, the reason for posting this: Any players who interact with these two can expect that a) Aziraphale will try to do something to cheer them and b) Crowley will try to do something to upset them. Not big things. Just little things like offering tea or making fun of your hair. Happy people do nice things. Cranky people make other people cranky. This is how they operate. Please note: They have neither the power, nor the inclination, to affect major changes on the people or places around them. They will not play God with your stories, we promise.

A note about what they know: they don't read your minds. But they do know your deepest feelings. And they'll be aware of your virtues and flaws. They won't take advantage -- but they'll use the information in their quest to make you cheery/cranky.

So, if you do stop by or run into one of them, feel free to run with the idea that your day will be either a little better or a little worse, depending.

And on that note, I just want to thank both of you for such a great time interacting with Anders and Cally in the park the other night. Really made things interesting and a whole lot of fun.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Ditto. So. Much. Fun.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

I think I can safely speak for both of us and say that we had a ball. Tell Cally that Crowley is sorry for making her cry. (Really, he is. We had long talk. He's very sorry. ;))

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

I don't think Anders is quite ready to forgive Crowley for that just yet, but thanks. ;)

No, seriously, that totally made my night, so thanks again.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

Shut your gob...I am NOT sorry. [smirks]

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Hey, Crowley around anywhere? I've got some free time. Could send an unsouled vampire in his direction.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Since I cna't post here as him, yes. I'll go stick him by the duck pond in the dark. Give me a sec.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

No prob.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

it's up

I mentioned this to Crowley's player the other night but no harm mentioning it to you as well =)

Canonically (heh) Angel(us) is a major player in the battle between good and evil. He's supposed to have a big role in the Apocalypse, but nobody knows which side he'll be fighting on, or if it will be Angel or Angelus doing the fighting.

If Crowley and Phale wanted to be aware of that, I've got no problems there. If not, also no problems. I don't know how you guys are playing the multi-dimensional knowledge. Angelus isn't from GO dimension, so if A&C didn't know about him that works ICly too.

So up to you guys.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

For my part, I'd say that since none of the other characters here are GO fandom, it would be perfectly in line with what we've been doing to have them aware of Angel(us) and his "specialness". And, also, way more interesting than watching from the sidelines.

Prepare to be tempted.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I was telling Crowley's player for me it's like having the Powers and the Senior Partners right there in town. (Or at least slightly more direct representatives of them.)

Too. Much. Fun.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I'm looking forward to it myself. In fact, I'm looking forward to the entire clash of personalities between the two of them and the very different circles they'll be moving in.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

[nodnodnod]

What'll be interesting, too, is that A&C are from a more Christian standpoint which of course is Angelus's stomping grounds. So anything that happens is going to be more significant to him than the SP or Powers ever managed to be. Finally he'll be talking to players who speak his language.

No pun intended.

[lilah-esq.livejournal.com]

Along similar lines to Angelus' question--Lilah hasn't run into Crowley yet, but I would love to have some interaction between them. Had a thought about Crowley maybe being one of the Senior Partners that W&H is always going on about, but didn't know whether you wanted to play with that at all. Either way is okay with me.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Crowley? Get a job? But that would cut into his time with the Bentley. :D

[lilah-esq.livejournal.com]

Lilah? Give up control of the office? But that would cut into her ego. :D

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Please please please tell me the Best of Queen tapes are going to get worked in here at some point? Because I was totally breaking my brain trying to figure out if that could pop up somewhere the other night but it didn't work. ;)

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

In the Bentley. And he's always humming it...he can't help it.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

On the up side he could guarantee that Lilah's radio stops playing boy bands.

[lilah-esq.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that be nice? Even non-stop Queen might be better than boy bands (or New Age...the John Tesh was bad).

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

He does as little as possible. Do you have dental?

[lilah-esq.livejournal.com]

Dental? *snerk* Evil law firm. Who do you think keeps the HMOs in business?

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Ah damn, and we didn't have that drink.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Yes, and we both very sorry about that. Can we reschedule?

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, I tend to drop her at Spike's in the evening but I was a bit flat out this weekend with Cam and Tex got neglected.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

We promise to get you good and drunk then to make it to you.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Yay! Although, it might get an expensive as Tex can hold her liquor really well.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Angel and demon here, my dear. Very good expense account.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

I'll have to keep that in mind.

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

[Holy cute icon, Batman!]

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

[Is it not the best? I mean...it has a duck! *is heartily amused at how the ducks are invading all of the Park posts*]

Ducks!

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

[It's all part of a sinister angsty plot, I just know it! I'm sure if you record the quaking and play it backwards with The Wizard of Oz there's all sorts of subliminal messages telling you to obey and freaky coincidences.]

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

[Dah. Quacking.]

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

and they're totally gay for each other.

*shakes fist at One Big Happy Pantheon

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Have no idea what you mean, my dear.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

then explain the you-shaped indentation in Crowley's Bently?

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Bad springs?

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

it's crawly's baby. Babies don't get bad springs. Nor do they have a copy of "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights" in the tapedeck

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

It's the only thing that won't mutate into Best of Queen

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

and it's so romantic. Are you two praying for the end of time?

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

The end of Time? Good lord, no! *shudders at the idea of an eternity watching the Sound of Music*

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

so you don't want to end your time with him? awww! sooo cyoooote!

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Gives an annoyed frown and decides to tell Crowley that he's being harassed

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

*prepares to run from Teh Cyoooteness*

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

*Runs smack into Crowley, not too pleased you're picking on his totally not boyfriend.*

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

*bounces off the walking sex sorta demon and points to Jay and Silent Bob messing with The Bently*
