ansa vilt í náttini svørtu // catch-all // semi-open

characters: Aziraphale and... you?
location: Miner's Castle #3, or your home, or town square
date/time: Jan 7th-25th ish?
content: Catch-all up to the total blackout event (??? i forgot what this was called again and i just looked it up)
warnings: Extremely fussy angel



It's cold outside (open)
[ Aziraphale took all of the vegetables and the meats and seasonings that Crowley had gotten from the grocery - braved the cold to go retrieve him, bless - and naturally used it to make soup. A lot of soup. Way too much soup. In fact, this is a miraculous amount of soup for the ingredients used, and quite tasty. It helps that it's been bulked up by some sort of grain - rice, noodles, perhaps both. It's not as hearty as a stew, but it manages to fill container upon container.

Which means that, naturally, at your door, stands a snowman-looking being. He has pale blue eyes and frosty eyelashes peeking up over his scarf. He appears to have either fashioned a coat out of a comforter, or just to be wearing one tied around himself, since he looks more marshmallow than human at the moment.

But what is really, really important, is that he is holding an impossibly hot container in his hands.
]

May I come in? I've made some soup for your household.

Let's stay in (closed to Miner's Castle #3 Residents)
[ It's cold outside, so once everyone's in and there appears to be enough supplies for everyone to hunker down for duration of the cold snap, Aziraphale starts to place pieces of fabric or fuzz or whatever is available around the sides of windows, around the edges of doors, to try and fill in the gaps.

He frowns at the sheer amount of items needing covered, wonders if he shouldn't just draw the curtains and tape them shut. Occasionally he'll either enlist the help of one of his housemates, or go check up on them to make sure they're not in need of tea or a blanket.
]

You'll catch cold like that.

[ He'll say this, regardless of how warmly the other is dressed.

Eventually, he might pull out a boardgame from a previous resident, and blow off the dust, set up the pieces, and see if his family would like to stay snowed-in and play.
]

Oh look, yarn! (open)
[ Aziraphale can't knit or crochet to save his life. But what he can do is make frames out of sticks, and wrap the yarn around them to make snowshoes. It doesn't look like this is going to melt anytime soon, or quickly, so he thinks this might be a pertinent venture. If you ask, he'll make you a pair. Or, he'll teach you! ]

[ Sora is absolutely just gonna stand there and take it, okay. HE LOVES MAGIC TRICKS! He has no idea if Aziraphale's any good or not! Judging by the crowbar thing though, he figures he's in for a treat.

Full excited dog mode, on! ]

Sorry, Aziraphale, this is somewhere between embarrassing and scary for them. They don't fidget, but they do hesitate, and finally explain properly, if haltingly: "When someone gets angry. I go into shut-down. No expression. Careful voice. No sudden movements. Non-threatening. De-escalate and placate. Worked most of the time, before. But it bothers people here and I don't know how to stop."

[ Aziraphale, you need to make sure your expectations are calibrated for Sora, because he is shocked and delighted at every new twist of this very awesome trick. He claps a hand to his ear once Aziraphale's done, looking at his fingers in wonder. ]

How'd you do that?
worthallthis: (wary)

[personal profile] worthallthis 2020-01-20 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no no, let's not go there just yet. The very idea of Aziraphale using his powers to affect their actual behavior in the long-term would be horrifying. The Soldier says, "I just was hoping for advice. If you have any, if you're familiar with things like that. If you don't, I'll think of something else."

Burned my tongue.

[And the roof of his mouth. But this happens all the time and after a moment he switches to trying to blow on his tongue via exhaling before giving up and just sort of frowning at himself.]

I'll be fine. Just didn't realize it was still that hot. My mistake. You don't have to clean, really.

[It's been one small disaster after another and he sets the bowl of soup down beside him before he can spill that too.]

[What is it with his world having so many people being unfamiliar with basic technology? This must be some kind of punishment for what he did to the Hosnian System. It has to be.]

Here it has a very limited function. It can clean and provide basic security. They have other functions back where I am from but the technology isn't that advanced here.

[ Castiel thinks, briefly, of cheeseburgers and coffee and alcohol. Of Dean smiling and insisting he partake. Smalltalk with a waitress, before she was killed in an attempt to get at Castiel (successful, her death still lingers on his conscience, guilt a familiar pain he carries all too easily). Bonding over shots with Jo. Insisting he doesn't eat towards Miriam, only to help her prepare a meal anyway.

He'll try the soup. There seems to significance there. ]


This place has strange effects. I'm used to not needing sleep or sustenance, yet here... I preferred partaking on occasion because I wanted to, not because I had to.

[ Still, goes to retrieve bowls.

Two - if the cold affects him, it stands to reason it affects Aziraphale. And Castiel... misses sharing things with angels. Even something as utterly, ludicrously, heart-warmingly human as sharing a meal. ]


Yes. I'm not sure they will be effective here, but thought it remiss not to try. I entertained the notion of testing the devil's trap by inviting your friend, but thought you might disapprove.

[ Hidden in between the lines of those words: Aziraphale's opinion matters, admitted indirectly, carefully.

Castiel puts bowls and spoons on the table. Ellever isn't present, so the second bowl cannot be mistaken for anything other than a quiet invitation. Or so he hopes, at least.

His people skills are, indeed, a little rusty. ]

[Once he's inside, she'll close the door so the chill doesn't come inside.]

It's been a while since I've had anything homemade, really.
callada: (lurk moar)

[personal profile] callada 2020-01-21 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[Would've said no, but Aziraphale is already moving to get it, so he might as well. He takes the glass once offered and has a slow sip. It stings against the burn, but it does help, a little. Maybe. Maybe that's just wishful thinking.]

Thanks. You don't have to stick around, you know, if you have other people you wanted to bring food to.

[Which is to say that he thinks he's holding Aziraphale up, making trouble for him, and he doesn't mean to be. Otherwise he'd invite him to stay and talk a while. Have some of the food he brought himself, if he wants. He likes the angel and doesn't mind his company, he's just feeling like he's the problem here.]

[What was with everyone worrying about him? This was weird. Why did people care about him? He was a shitty person and he knew it. Despite that fake facade, he was not a likable person; his upbringing could be a testament to that.]

A-Ah...

[First Midge, and than Aziraphale? At least he's not completely in shock like he was with Midge, but...]

I'm... doing okay.

[He did find a coat, but it wasn't the best. It was better than nothing though. That's news to him.]

The Soldier... makes a face at the word trauma. An actual face, like it's a distasteful word. (Look at you, actually showing a real expression! Shut up, Sergeant. I make expressions.) It's not trauma, dammit, it's just. Shitty maintenance. (Keep telling yourself that, pal.) "Sometimes they are," they mutter, mostly to themselves, and maybe a little to the Sergeant.

But then, a little more clearly, they prompt, "Something else?"

[ To be honest, the Librarian's probably just sipping their soup while Sora gleefully falls ass over head into this trick, pulling hand over hand eagerly. He is a CHILD. ]

This goes on forever! How did you fit all of that in there?
