A. [Action: Johnathon's Tools]

[Crowley can be seen buying plywood, sand paper, varnish, and some tools. He looks a bit preoccupied and slightly devious.]


B. [Action: In Front of 915 Bilko Boulevard]

[He is sitting on the porch sanding a slightly ovular board. He's smiling like a cat who's gotten his cream.]


C. [Action: About Town]

[The results! Crowley can be on his newly built skateboard. He's wearing his suit and a pair of black All-Stars. He seems to be an old pro at this and even does a couple tricks with his tie flapping in the wind.]

[Nina has arrived at April's home for the second time in a relatively short period of time, this time with a bag of treats that might be befitting a mutant, fire-breathing goat, in hand.]

Hey, April! I brought --

[Once again, she arrives to find someone working on something. At least this time nobody is hurling hammers at her head, though, however unintentionally.]

... oh. I'm sorry to bother you! I was looking for April.

[eyesofaserpent]

[He looks up from his sanding.]

April--? Oh... My "wife"... I think she's out at the moment.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm sorry, again.

[Nina tilts her head slightly, glancing in the general direction of the sander.]

What are you making?

[eyesofaserpent]

I'm building a skateboard.

[He smirks with that devious little glint in his eye.]

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Really? Are you going to give out rides on it?

[eyesofaserpent]

Give out....? [He let out a clipped laugh.]

No. It's for me.

[Just sitting on a street corner, Barton watches Crowley zip by on the skateboard, when he does a little flip trick.

That was pretty cool! But since this is Barton, her face is as flat as ever. She claps, though.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[He seems to be amused by himself. And while he's not a fantastic skateboarder due to lack of practice, he's getting more and more comfortable. And it really does beat walking.]

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[Considering she's never seen a skateboarder before, it's all cool to her. Her face is placid though while she watches.]

Where'd you get that thing?

[eyesofaserpent]

[He rolls to a stop before her.]

This? I built it. They weren't invented until the sixties, so you can't just go out and buy one.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[Keywords are "built". This is relevant to her interests.]

Looks like fun. [Or so she says in her usual bland voice. But she means it!]

[eyesofaserpent]

[He shrugs a bit.]

I keep myself entertained. And it's better than walking everywhere.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

They gave me a bicycle here, but that looks better. How'd you build it? I bet I could make one.

[Mayfield is officially creepy, Draco's decided, but not creepy enough to keep him from walking around the town. That's why today he comes across Crowley with...well. Actually. He's not entirely sure what the hell it is, hence why he's going to stop in the middle of the sidewalk to stare. He watches as Crowley accomplishes a few tricks, raising his eyebrow at the sight.]

Bit of an odd uniform for such a sport, isn't it?

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley comes to a stop in front of the blonde kid he didn't know and smirked a bit, his still so strangely normal green eyes glittering with amusement.]

Well, you take what you can get. This town has only provided me with suits, which is fine by me. At least I found these sneakers. This wouldn't be so easy in wingtips.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

[He tilts his head a bit, only meeting Crowley's eyes briefly before he's back to examining the makeshift skateboard.]

I wasn't aware the town stripped away free will. You couldn't buy something? Never mind.

[He's still fixated on the board. He wants to ask what the hell that thing is, but he's assuming it's a Muggle thing and should be fairly obvious. So he's just. Staring.]

So, what's the point, exactly?

[eyesofaserpent]

[He snorts a bit indelicately.]

Skateboards weren't around in the fifties. This town doesn't have anything like it, but it has the basic parts. It's not a difficult thing to make.

[He tips up the board to reveal the underside, which he'd painted with a snake wearing sunglasses and coiled around an apple. He was amused by it.]

The point is to get from Point A to Point B faster than walking and without having to strap bloody roller skates to your feet.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

It just seems rather primitive, that's all. [Though he's eying the bottom of the board with a hint of interest. Snakes have a special meaning okay. End of story.]

If you wanted to get somewhere faster, couldn't you get one of those car things?

[eyesofaserpent]

[Yes. Yes they do. The particular imagery on the board? Very personal.]

It is kind of primitive.

[sigh] I'd very much like to have my Bentley back, but I'm not about to give up a part of myself for it. And the cars that are native to this era are ridiculous hunks of metal. No class.

[Lois's face is buried in the latest edition of Mayfield newspaper as she turns the corner to head back home. She doesn't see Crowley over the latest communist headlines; instead, she barrels straight into him, letting out a faint grunt of pain before she hits the ground.]

Son of a-

Why hallo~!

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley absolutely did not expect that and manages to windmill his arms and topple backwards. The skateboard rolls toward the building and stops.]

Bloody hell.... Er... You alright then?

Re: Haiii! Stumbled upon this in the AC, hope ya don't mind! :D

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

[The newspaper she was holding is currently sprawled across the sidewalk, so she collects herself enough to get upright and start picking back up.]

Fine. My pride will recover. You okay?

Ha ha, I don't mind at all. <3

[eyesofaserpent]

[He stands up and offers her a hand. He may be a demon, but he could still be polite.]

I'm fine. A little spill like that won't be enough to keep a bloke like me down.

Re: \o/ YAY!

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

[She glances up at him and offers a small smile, getting to her feet with his help and brushing herself off.]

Thanks. I tend to fall over myself more often than I'm proud of, so I'm glad this time I had a legitimate excuse.

[eyesofaserpent]

Clumsy type? Some people find that charming...

[Some people also find Crowley charming, though the it always baffles him.]
