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! ]

[Crowley glares. As it is, he has on the scarf and gloves the human soldier person made for him, as well as a leather coat, but he still can't quite get warm.

One of the side effects of being cold-blooded.

He looks at the board game Aziraphale has, and drops down in the chair near the couch, doing something that could loosely be described as 'sitting'.]


So this is a new thing for the afterlife, then? Trapped in a winter wonderland?

[Since the full moon has passed, Crowley should be capable of eating again. Which means the Soldier is shoving a plate full of grilled cheese (with whatever vegetables/meat combo with the cheese that they've determined Crowley claims to dislike the least) and a mug of cocoa into his hands.]

Eat. It'll help with the cold.

[It helps them, anyway. Aziraphale's plate (with his own guessed favorite sandwich additions) and cocoa gets set in front of him on the coffee table while he sets the game up. The Soldier settles on the couch, one foot curled under them, with their own lunch. Eating and a game... thing. They'll help keep the Soldier from pacing. (They've been doing a lot of pacing. And some slipping out to patrol despite the blizzard. Being caged up like this is not great for their mood.)]

[The blizzard has only been raging a day or so but that's enough to keep Rosinante mostly indoors. Stiff winds and bitter cold are things he can withstand if he needs to, but it's not much fun. He'd much rather spend the time reading his newspapers from Pluto, and working on his star charts. This means there's paper of all sorts spread out around the room - the star charts are currently tacked up on the walls wherever Mary hasn't gotten to putting paint on them instead, and one newspaper lies open on his bed.

As is typical, the door to the upstairs room in The Invincible is open, and cigarette smoke drifts out into the hallway. Or, currently, into that very frosty-looking face. Rosinante practically jumps when he hears that voice - he'd been too deep in his labeling and hadn't paid attention. But rapidly he turns to face the door, eyes wide, then nods and beckons him in.]


Yeah, come in! That looks hot, why don't you put that by the stove. You really came all this way just to drop that off?

[He'll say thanks in a second, he's just startled by a lot of what's happening right now. Aziraphale certainly looks like he's keeping himself warm, but who braves this weather just to deliver soup? How is it still steaming as if it has just come straight out of a boiling pot, given what it takes to get through said blizzard and up two flights of stairs?]

Probably. Uh, here.

[He edges around Aziraphale to the closet and pulls out a broom and dustpan.]

I'll get the stuff that's still frozen if you want to mop up after it.

[Hopefully if he's quick enough he can just sweep all this snow into the pan and dump it into the sink before it completely melts. He's not going to stand and watch while Aziraphale does all the cleaning, that's just rude.]

[Hux didn't like the cold but at least staying inside gave him plenty of opportunities to work on the mouse droids. There were parts and wires scattered all over the house- it looked like a mess but he knew where each thing was. He liked being able to work on something, he never had the time for small personal projects back home. He never got to work with his hands since his duties kept him so busy.

He looked up from his spot on the floor when he heard the knock, pausing in his work. He wasn't sure who would be visiting, slowly prying himself on the floor. He made sure to have his blaster tucked into the back of his belt as he slowly opened the door just wide enough to see who was standing on the outside.

His brows furrowed and he didn't invite the stranger in, wary.]


Who are you? I didn't ask for soup.

[It is indeed odd, and he has so many questions.

Much of the snow makes it into the dustpan as melting clumps, which he hastily shakes out into the sink before it can all melt and get spilled on the floor. He tangles his legs around the broom as he tries to turn around to face Aziraphale and staggers sideways into the countertop in the little kitchenette corner but thankfully not even the force of that stumble is enough to cause the soup to spill or they'd have an even worse problem.]


Yeah. Yeah, we're doing all right. Top floor so all the heat from below comes straight up. Mostly I worry about Mary staying warm enough. I hope she's indoors right now.

[Probably playing with the spirits downstairs or harassing people in other rooms. Or admiring the snow from the stoop, he wouldn't blame her.]

How, um. That soup looks really hot, how did you manage to carry it all the way here?

What do you want in return? [He didn't invite him in right away, regarding him warily for a few moments.

But there didn't seem to be a threat so far and he realized he hadn't eaten in a while since he had been caught up in his work, fueled only by tea and coffee. He also didn't know how to cook and was living off of basic supplies that he could find in the store that didn't require preparation.

Nothing came for free in his opinion and he wanted to know Aziraphale's angle before letting him in and trusting him enough to take soup.]

[ It just so happens that Sora's sweeping the threshold of the library today! He'll hear the tap at the door and. Uh. He's pretty sure that people don't knock at libraries? That's a little weird. Then again, it is nearly white out conditions out there - surely someone would knock at a library if they're confused and need help, right?

He'll stick the broom under his elbow and brace himself for the inevitable wall of snow and wind, only to find... A walking, talking snowman. Huh. Sora has met at least one (1) of these before. (He sang. It's complicated.)

Of course, Sora has his lamp, so he'll pat around for its handle and raise it to eye level, squinting at this very fluffy individual. Wait a second. ]


Aziraphale? [ ... ] This isn't a household! [ ... ] What are you doing here? [ And he's going to seize Aziraphale by the wrist, if he's so willing, and drag him inside so he can shut the door behind them. Good thing this welcome mat is nice and absorbent. ]

[ No amount of bundling up will make Castiel unable to see Aziraphale for who and what he is, though his own face shows some puzzlement over the... garments, as were, when he opens the door.

He does step aside after blinking once, owlishly, at the other angel, and gestures for Aziraphale to enter. ]


Why?

[ No judgment in the question, just open curiosity. Castiel, it seems, does not quite grasp the reason for the gesture. Random acts of kindness that land even vaguely in his vicinity puzzle him. He does not know what to do with them.

Something Aziraphale might notice upon entering is that the house is quite oddly decorated - beyond the various eclectic knicknacks mostly collected and put out by Ellever, the walls and even windows sport red markings; sigils and wards of general protection. Castiel doesn't know if they would help - but he's put them up anyway. And what might easily be mistaken for red paint is, of course, angel blood.

Grace makes these sigils quite potent, after all.

It might be an easy conclusion to see that two people live in the three bedroom cabin: One (mostly) human, and one celestial soldier. There's not a trace in the living space that seems to indicate Castiel lives here, the sigils aside.

Also worth noting: He's still wearing the same suit, tie and trench coat, even inside. The tie is held in place by a nice, simple tie clip, preventing it from flicking backwards as it used to do all the time. ]

[ 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.

[He shrugs in response. All he can do is hope. He tries to guide her, but she's got a spirit of her own and he can't police her every action. Sometimes kids do stupid things and get into trouble. That's how they learn. She probably can't go too far in weather like this anyway, even if she did try to go out - but probably, hopefully, she really is just in another room.]

Well, it's impressive. Looks hard to handle, though I guess with gloves it's not so bad.

[But Aziraphale hadn't been wearing gloves, had he? He glances at the angel's hands, trying to decide if he'd seen them and they'd been shoved into a pocket, or if he was handling that thing without them. If he had been, well. Maybe it's just an angel superpower. They have those, right?]

[Given the weather, Maes was not expecting visitors. He had the advantage of teleporting when he wished, but this seemed like a sign to hole up for a bit, study some of his notes, and mull over new possibilities for exploration. The downtown area was far larger than he had anticipated, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to explore that further or leave that to other individuals.

It was in the middle of such thoughts that the knock came. Maes glanced at the fire place, not wanting to part from its warmth, before deciding that the person at the door had to be MUCH colder.

Maes stood up from his couch and walked over. Maes immediately regrets opening the door to the cold. Especially since he does not immediately recognize the snow-covered figure on his porch, but he's also not the type to just leave someone out there.
]

Get in here!

[He was so surprised, he didn't even register the second half of that sentence.]

Are you nuts? This is not the kind of weather anyone should be making house calls in!

[Hux eventually stood aside and held the door open for him. He wasn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart, food sounded good after a long day working.]

Don't touch anything, I'm working on a project.

[He leads the way towards the kitchen, carefully stepping around things scattered across the floor. He didn't remember when he last slept but it would be good to actually eat something.]

What kind of soup did you bring?

[personal profile] arsarcanum 2020-01-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
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!
