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! ]

[ It's him, the librarian, and the girl living in the rafters, but Sora's not one to split hairs. Sora does remember vaguely that Aziraphale's a book... wrangler? Handler! So the comfort with which Aziraphale bustles in doesn't really surprise him. No, it's the fact that he's here and apparently not, you know, frozen. Or even uncomfortable?

Sora is the opposite of a book kind of person, but he does know not to leave a mess! He doesn't touch the books except to put them away, or get references and THEN put them away. He's not looking forward to leaving the library, but mostly because he's gotten extremely fond of the Librarian and he really can't bear the idea of leaving them alone again. He'll leave the books themselves to the experts!

He brightens at the sight of the soup and accepts it. Hey, wow, it's still warm! That's nice. (No, he has not made any higher level critical thinking jumps.) He is going to attempt to steer them gently toward the Librarian's little counter, though. ]


If you came all this way, you should probably stay a while and say hi. I think they'd like that. Also... I know where you're coming from, but I'm 100% positive that they don't have any food allergies! Seriously. None at all.

Can do. [ Eggs, huh. Well... Sora will try anything once, even some very questionable eggs, but he will definitely keep that in mind if the Librarian offers him anything other than book recommendations.

He'll nod with a face like he's REALLY going to commit that to memory, and then he'll walk up to the counter with Aziraphale, watching Aziraphale serve them their share of soup. Something... is striking him as very strange about the situation, but the penny has not dropped yet. (The food? The food looks fine! The Librarian looks as delighted to see it as he'd be, anyway. What's weird here?) ]


Oh, hey, Librarian! This is when you say hi and something awesome. Fistbump time. [ And Sora will, probably inexplicably to Aziraphale, hold his fist out to the Librarian. After a pause, in which the Librarian thinks about the situation, they'll quickly remember the ritual, make a fist with their strange hand, and gently bump Sora's fist back. ] Yeah!

It's a fistbump. [ Sora is very understanding about all this! After all, Aziraphale seems kind of like he's not only a boomer, but the kind of guy who stays kind of to himself? Sora's got him covered. ]

It's something you do when you say hi to someone, or if you do something good with someone, or if something awesome happens. [ ... ] Do you wanna try it?

Like this. [ Sora shows his own fist in demonstration. ] Like you're about to do that magic trick where you disappear a penny. [ ... Hm. ] Do you know that trick? [ Aziraphale IS a magician, right? ]

[ 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! ]

[ 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?

[personal profile] arsarcanum 2020-01-21 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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?

Where'd that come from?? [ Sora will look around Aziraphale, then around himself, for the missing streamers. ] Man, you're the best magician ever!

[personal profile] arsarcanum 2020-01-23 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sora claps excitedly! That was AMAZING! He has the relative interest level of one half a dog and one half a kindergartener when it comes to these things. Aziraphale would have had to flop really hard to put him off. ]

You're the best magician I've ever met! You must be a pro where you're from.

[ Sora rubs his nose with a finger like the five year old he is. ] Rarely, huh. Well, you should do it more! Especially if it makes you happy, and if you're that good at it.

[ He looks over at the rest of the soup. Huh. Still warm. It's a little cold in the library, so he's surprised! Aaand his stomach rumbles, because he is a bottomless hole. ]

Oh. Well, uh. Sorry! [ A sheepish laugh. He really did just straight up forget to eat that day, huh? ]

[personal profile] arsarcanum 2020-01-24 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, thank you! [ He'll go ahead and dig in, but pause to look at Aziraphale. ]

You should eat with us. Meals are better with friends around. Right? [ He directs that at the Librarian, who does a Librarian equivalent of nodding pleasantly even if they don't quite understand what they've just been asked. ]
