Bored, the demon walked over to the lake to see who was around...


((Crowley really, really wants to do some bastardly things to people. If you'd like him to do something nasty to your character, leave me an OOC note in your reply, otherwise he'll be good. Marginally. No promises, really...))

Carrot whistled a marching song to himself as he strolled briskly along the edge of the lake, on his way to pick up some food. He smiled when he saw Crowley-- he'd yet to have an opportunity to interact with this man, despite the amount of time he'd spent in the park. Which was a pity, and Carrot felt slightly ashamed that he hadn't been more friendly.

He waved as he approached. "Good afternoon, there! Crowley, isn't it?"

((Go nuts >D))

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

Crowley nodded. Why did the dumb ones always find him? Oh, yeah. They were all dumb...

"And you're some form of root vegetable, right? Yam? Parsnip?"

((You so evil. XD))

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

He smiled. "Carrot, actually. Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson. Pleased to meet you!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"And here I was hoping for turnip," sighed the demon. "The name's Anthony Crowley, Captain. What are you the Captain of?"

"The Ankh Morpork City Watch," he said proudly. "I-- don't suppose you're from the Disc," he added, judging from Crowley's dress and those strange things he wore on his face. You never knew, but if you didn't see odd fashions in Ankh-Morpork, they probably weren't anywhere.

((Likewise. XD;))

As much as Tamaki was missing girls his own age, the host club, and all his friends (especially Kyouya), he had to admit that he aws enjoying being in Disneyland. It was always nice out, and hey, he had Antoinette with him. He was currently playing fetch with her, but she didn't quite seem to be catching on. He'd throw the ball, she'd catch it, but she wouldn't come back to him, and when he tried to take it from her she'd run away.

"Antoinette!" he cried. She had run off somewhere near the lake, but he didn't know exactly where. "Annnntoinneettteee. Come here girl!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

Arching an eyebrow, Crowley turned.

"She's not here right now, kid. But a little respect might be nice, yeah?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki blinked, looking worried. "You didn't see her?" he asked. He looked near tears at the next. "Did she run away because I didn't respect her?!" he wailed.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"I really doubt it." Crowley eyed the pathetic kid. "But then, you'd know that if you've known her for very long..."

Harvey was as nervous as one allows oneself to be when one is controlling someone else's mind. John Crichton, gallant spaceman, was dangerous. But John Crichton, trapped inmate, was even worse. Harvey was being cautious.

And so, he sat in the grass, looking at the ducks swimming across the lake.

((Beating up is good, if you feel like having fun. :-P))

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Ducks are overrated," came a sneering voice over his shoulder.

[astronutty.livejournal.com]

Harvey looked up, sizing up the man behind him. "Have the ducks done something terrible to you? They seem perfectly peaceable to me, swimming there like that."

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"That's what I mean. They seem perfectly peaceable until they come over to peck your eyes out. Definitely overrated."

Crowley was getting an odd sense from this man, so he stayed alert.

Alice had taken refuge outside from those dreaded Lessons and was currently reading Alice's Adventures Under Ground, Lucky curled up beside her and sleeping. Occasionally she would scratch his ears, but she was mostly engrossed in her novel. Well, it had been written for her.

((XD Go crazy. But remember you have to answer to Az. :P))

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

((He won't mind so long as it's funny. :D))

Oh, dear. And here was sweet, innocent Alice. Aziraphale would smite him if he did anything to her. Worth the risk, Crowley decided, as he approached.

"Hey, Allison. Thought you'd be tired of reading by now," said the demon cheerfully.

[alicereflection.livejournal.com]

((XDD Go, angel, go))

Alice looked up, about to snap, but stopping at merely a slight frown when she saw who it was. Mr Crowley was a friend of Mr Fell's, and she was expected to be Civil.

"Good day, Mr Crowley," she answered. "My name is Alice, in case you have somehow managed to forget in the rather short period of time between now and the time we last met. And no, I am not tired of reading. One cannot grow tired of a favoured book." Her expression added, unless one is rather, shall we say, stupid. Well, if he'd managed to forget her name...

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yes. Silly me," smiled Crowley faintly unpleasantly. "Though I would disagree. I believe it's quite possible to tire of even a favoured book." Usually after the five hundredth reading or so...

"And what is this favoured book?"

[skaffenamtiskaw]

Having seen a young blond man in obvious anguish hurrying across the park from the general direction of the lake, Skaffen-Amtiskaw drifted in that direction to see what was going on.

It was mildly disappointed to see only Crowley, and no obvious mayhem. It wasn't feeling very sociable, and so it turned away and skimmed the water, frightening a few ducks. It would head off to continue its mapping and schematics project next, perhaps in Fantasyland.

((Having successfully pranked Boba Fett, the drone needs to be taken down a peg or two again. Feel free to zap it from afar; the whole magic-and-miracles thing is such an Outside Context Problem to it that it won't know where it came from, or who to blame.))

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

The demon grinned at Skaffen-Amtiskaw's approach. This must be the vaunted suitcase robot Fett had told him about. With a subtle gesture, a spurt of water jetted out of the lake to splash the drone from behind.

[skaffenamtiskaw]

The drone, expecting no trouble and not sensing its usual nemesis around, was being careless; it was going about unshielded.

Which meant that its shiny ceramic casing got quite wet. Not that it harmed the drone any, but it was still a shock.

It stopped abruptly in midair and spun wildly, its aura pulsing an array of dull colours. Its sensors only picked up Crowley and the presence of a few other harmless types. Could this be the park at work again?

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

After the drone turned, another playful spurt of water came up to splash it again from behind.

[katou-moon.livejournal.com]

Katou was wet. Mostly because he had been watching a giant tidal wave chasing a robot and not watching where he was going, and had tripped and fallen into the water. He wasn't about to admit to it being his fault, because he probably would have been a little wet without the trip. He didn't really like being wet, and he was kind of grumpy, though significantly less so when he saw Crowley.

"I hate this fucking park," he muttered, walking up to Crowely and wringing out his shirt.

((XDD If Crowley feels like giving Katou a hard time, have at 'er.))

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Crowley grinned, "it's growing on me..."

[katou-moon.livejournal.com]

Katou snorted, wishing he had a water balloon or something. "Yeah, well you're a bastard." There was a bit of a pause, and then he hugged Crowley tightly. If he didn't get him wet, he wanted him at least damp...ish.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Crowley agreed, before protesting. "Hey! You'll wrinkle my Armani." But an arm curled around the boy's shoulders. The demon would dry rather more quickly than usual, anyway.
