Town Meeting

John awoke at his usual early hour on the morning of the town meeting. He dressed with slightly more than usual care in his suit of clothes from home, broke his fast with a light meal, and headed to the Golden Horseshoe to ensure that things were the way he wanted.

The chairs and small tables were already perfectly arranged, but John dragged a podium he found backstage out to the front of the curtain. Then he bustled about in the kitchen area setting out drinks and whatever small snacks he could find back there.

Before long, interested citizens began filing in and he went up to the podium. There was no microphone because he'd never heard of such a thing, but John Adams never had difficulty making himself heard.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. If you would please pick up any refreshments you'd care for and take your seats, we'll begin in just a few minutes."

"No, I suppose not," Aziraphale said, "but I always find it somewhat disheartening. ...oh dear." He winced slightly as Leon made his exit.

He actually had planned to return to Club 33 to check up on Crowley as soon as the meeting broke up, but he felt a certain responsibility toward Leon even if he had no conscious memory of living with him.

"I think the only person he wanted to talk to is gone," Adam observed. "But he might not mind if you wanna try (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_land/181362.html)."

Aziraphale nodded, and rose as the meeting started to break up. "I believe I shall. It's always a pleasure to see you, Adam. We really should have tea some time."

"I'd like that," he said, and prepared to leave behind the angel.
