[Oh hay, it's a Crowley—and he's not a snake any more!]

[He...doesn't look particularly thrilled, however. He's standing on the Plane, arms crossed, and looks somewhat livid behind the sunglasses.]

I want to speak with the Twins. Now.

[You get the Twins, though they are currently hiding behind the massive Derogative in his normal form. Dero says it's like this except serious and big and things. They end up peeking out from around him, however, to answer Crowley.]

Ahhh, you're kind of mad at us?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[He gives the dog thing a brief look, then glares at the Twins.]

Where are they?

[realitymods]

[The Twins both shake their head.]

They're gone. Sometimes that happens! It happens pretty often. It's back to normal.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[His jaw tightens. He speaks very precisely, very evenly.]

So bring them back.

[realitymods]

[The Twins duck a little more behind Derogative as they frown.]

We can't! It's really complicated! We're still figuring out how it works.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

So figure it out. I don't care how you do it. Bring them back.

[realitymods]

But we've been trying to! It was only recently that we even figured out that it could bring people here.

[For a long moment he just stands there, fuming. He can tell this isn't getting him anywhere, though.]

Fine. Keep trying.

[realitymods]

[They both nod.]

We're doing our best. If we figure it out, we'll definitely announce it. Does that help?

[Crowley looks down, then slowly shakes his head]

Not really, no.

[He drops from the Plane]

[If this isn't open just poke me or something and I shall go delete... Anyway! Juni is walking past and stops to glance at Crowley] What's wrong?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[It's fine!]

[Crowley glances in Juni's direction, then looks away. For a moment he's quiet, then:]

They're gone. Henrietta. Aziraphale. They're gone.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Oh! Good, jsut ignore me being stupid then ^^]

[She looks shocked for a moment and then bites her lip] ...Oh.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

Did you want to stay a snake?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[Crowley just shoots a dirty look in Pollution's direction and then looks away again]

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

[He thought it was a valid question.]

Do they usually listen to demands?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

What'd they do now? Aside from all the usual obvious things.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[He just stands there, not saying anything. "They're gone" pretty much summed the entire situation up, at least in his mind.]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Clear off, White. I'm in no mood.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't say anything for a moment, and when he speaks he does so without looking at her.]

They're gone. Henrietta and Aziraphale. Both Aziraphales.

[Jolyne hasn't really had much interaction with any of those mentioned, but it's pretty clear that this has Crowley upset.]

Are we talking gone-gone, or up-and-left-for-a-vacation-without-warning-gone?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates for a moment and then edges up to him and hugs him slightly timidly]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't move, but he doesn't really fight it either.]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

'The number you have dialled does not exist, or is no longer in service' gone.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Quietly] I'm sorry Crowley.
