Calamus 004

[First he runs into Pollution. Then he goes home and finds THE RITZ. FULL, WORKING, BEAUTIFUL. So he's both furious and panicked now, because that means he and Crowley have started to merge and OH GOD WHAT DID CROWLEY GET? So he's trying to surreptitiously locate the demon--and not doing too well at it, considering his wings are out and occasionally giving off little waves of heat.]

[And Crowley is currently trying to avoid both his daughter and the incarnation of filth, so he's chillin' in a corner booth of the Astral bar with a tall glass of something alcoholic and a book.]

[AHA. The second check of the bar reveals a Crowley. Az doesn't even bother fixing himself a drink, just heads straight for the demon and sits down.] Pollution is here. And I have the Ritz.

Aziraphale? Is something troubling you?

[contract_star]

[Lurking. He's still very wary of this Az.]

[Pino can't really feel the heat (aside from her automatically taking the air's temperature), but she senses that Something is Wrong.]

[The demon is taking a long pull from his glass, and the first statement receives only a "Mm." The second, however, he nearly chokes on.]

The Ritz? The Ritz?

[extutela.livejournal.com]

I have a merger. And Pollution is here.

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[Turns sharply, a little wave of heat going out.] Why him? Why one of them?

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[He notices her and does his best to calm down. With a slightly tense smile,] Hello, Pino.

[extutela.livejournal.com]

Yes, the bloody Ritz!

That...that's even better than we could've hoped!

[And now he's sitting up in the booth, grinning.]

That-- are you completely mental? Do you know what you've gotten? Do you know how bad it is yet?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, it's nothing to worry about.

Angel, you realise what this means? The Ritz!

[extutela.livejournal.com]

Well what is it? [He presses his fingers to his temples.] Yes! The Ritz! The Ritz, in the middle of an apocalyptic wasteland what was I thinking? [What he was thinking about isn't entirely clear, but! Oh well.]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

It's nothing. [waves a hand dismissively] Hyde Park's gone a bit off, as if I care.

Angel, it's the Ritz. It's modern. Good food! Rooms. This is perfect!

[extutela.livejournal.com]

Yes, but-- really? That's it? That's all?

[He... doesn't... quite believe it.]

[contract_star]

[Tentatively,] Something wrong?

[usagipino]

Az looks like Hoody does when he's thinking really hard.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

That's it. No avenging angels, no mini-Apocalypse. Nothing but an overgrown bit of park and some debris.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

A merger? Ah, with Crowley, I assume? And what do you mean by "pollution?"

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[Headtable. So relieved, Crowley, you have no idea.]

[extutela.livejournal.com]

Yes. I need to make sure some idiot hasn't killed him. [A growl] Pollution! The Pollution, the embodiment of refuse and decay!

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[He sees Hei and hesitates, then growls.] Pollution. They brought Pollution here.

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[Gentles a bit.] Do I? I suppose that's because I just met someone I didn't expect to here.
