[A beach chaise appears on the Plane (on the beach, oddly enough), and with it a demon. He's not even wearing his typical suit this time—just a white shirt, the sleeves rolled up, and black slacks. And the sunglasses, of course.]

[Sadly, the tall glass in his hand (the kind you normally find filled with bright and fruity sorts of alcohol) appears to be empty save for a little paper umbrella. He tips his sunglasses up with his free hand and stares forlornly at the glass for a moment.]

Bugger. We'll see if I tip her again.

I didn't know people really put gay little umbrellas in glasses.

[An eyebrow arches. Who the He- Somewhere is this, now?]

Ever been to Nassau?

[weerweer.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow arch in return.]

Is that on Tatooine?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

The Bahamas, actually. I don't recall there being many beaches on Tatooine.

[weerweer.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, are you from Star Wars?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[In as serious a tone as he can muster:]

I am, in fact. I'd thought it a bit strange that everyone else knew about things such as the Sith and Death Stars, and then I found out we were all just characters in a series of films. Who'd have thought?

[Considering he is currently walking and breathing in space, Isaiah is open to all things.]

Oh my god.

That's got to suck, man, seriously, sorry. And there are shitty novels too.

[Crowley shrugs]

You learn to live with it. Thankfully I'm from one of the video game spin-offs that wasn't completely awful. Plus I'm a Sith, how amazing is that?

[weerweer.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow, man, what's your name? Maybe I played that game.

[contract_star]

[Eyebrow raise.] Enjoying yourself?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[He snorts]

I'd be enjoying myself a great deal more if the servers would actually do their blessed jobs.

[contract_star]

[Smirks.] Where are you right now?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Nassau—the Bahamas. Thought it was about time I got out of the UK for a while.

[contract_star]

[He smiles.] Nice.

I've been thinking about heading to my island, too.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[Crowley shrugs]

I'd thought about inviting you along, but you seemed a bit preoccupied with your work.

[contract_star]

[Blinks a little at the idea that Crowley would invite him anywhere. He nods.] That's the thing. I've been really busy, and things are going to get even busier soon.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Oh? How's that?

[contract_star]

The remnants of the EPR contacted me. They want a meeting.

[usagipino]

[Pino is in her bunny suit and staring at the umbrella.] What is that!

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

What is...?

[He follows her gaze and chuckles.]

It's just a decoration. Here. [With his free hand he plucks the little paper umbrella out of the glass and holds it out to her.]

[usagipino]

[She takes it rather delicately.] What is it? What does it do? It's pretty!

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

It doesn't do anything, it just makes your drink look nice. Keep it if you like.

[usagipino]

Yay! Thank you, Crowley!

[She holds it high in the air and starts running in circles around him.]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Yes, well. Just don't go telling anyone where you got it.

[usagipino]

Okay! I won't.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hello, Crowley. I've not seen you in quite some time.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Mn? [looks up] Oh, Am, hi. Yeah, I've been—

[a pause]

—well I'm on holiday now, at any rate.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Everyone deserves a holiday every once in awhile! Though you didn't look all that happy about it a moment ago. Is something wrong?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

I should say.

[He holds his empty glass up and shakes it a bit for emphasis]

This has been empty for going on ten minutes now.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.] Oh, you poor, poor dear~

Certainly, though, you could ask for a refill?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

What, and leave my beach chair? Surely you jest.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It is a very nice-looking chair~

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Have a Juni wandering over] ...Now that's just bad service.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? [he flashes a smile at her] Think I'm going to head to the bar for a refill, care to join me?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[She grins back] Of course, lead the way.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[Crowley swings his legs around and stands, nodding once to Juni before setting off toward the bar.]

Haven't seen you for a while. How are things in your deathtrap of a world lately?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[She strolls along beside him, hands in her pockets] Okay, they're still trying to kill me but I'm still outwitting them... How are you doing?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Always good to hear. Any progress on getting out of there?

Fine enough, I suppose. Thought I'd get out of London for a while, relax in the tropics.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Not really I'm afraid.

[Smirk] Ah, sun, sea and sand right?
