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.]

...I thought he was making that up. Can you ever regain the things they take?

[eyesofaserpent]

From time to time they allow you to have something back.

[He shrugs. He hasn't regained anything yet himself.]

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

I only have so many body parts to trade, so I suppose that's good to know.

[He's back to looking at the skateboard again.] And why the snake?

[eyesofaserpent]

[He looks at the board a moment and smirks.]

Did you ever read the bible?

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

[A pause.]

No. Why?

[eyesofaserpent]

Oh, well... I'm in Genesis. The serpent that tempted Eve to eat from the Tree of Life.

...are you trying to tell me you're a snake? [First there was that kid who tried to tell him he's the kid of a god, now this.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[He shrugs a bit.]

I'm normally man shaped. But yes, when I was first on Earth, I was snake shaped.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

And I suppose if I ask how you changed shape, you won't tell me.

[eyesofaserpent]

It's not really anything special. I change because I want to change.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

So theoretically you can also change back into the snake? [Okay. Like an Animagus.] Or did Mayfield destroy that ability?

[eyesofaserpent]

[He was quiet a long moment, concentrating on trying to change. Nothing happened, of course. He frowned.]

Bloody Mayfield...

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

As I thought. Rather pathetic, isn't it?

[eyesofaserpent]

[He let out a testy sigh.]

I hate this place. No Aziraphale and I'm no better than a bloody human.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are more things to hate about this place, but now I have to ask. Aziraphale?

[eyesofaserpent]

He's a... friend of mine.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

Non-human, I presume.

[eyesofaserpent]

You presume correctly.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

What is it then?

[eyesofaserpent]

He's my opposite...

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

...the better half, then?

[eyesofaserpent]

So to speak.

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

The real question now is whether you believe that to be true or not.

[eyesofaserpent]

By very definition of our natures, he's the better half. [snort]

[wasthemaster.livejournal.com]

But that's not what I asked, unless you merely believe it since you've been taught to.
