Oh dear, it seems I've spent too much time in the library. I hope everyone has been doing well? [He sounds rather pleased despite that. Some shuffling here and there] My, how the dust just gathers when you're preoccupied...

[Half aware of the journal recording him; he's just gonna have a putter around his room with a duster, feel free to interrupt

We've already talked about moving before the dust settles, angel. Detach from the books once a day.

[Aziraphale]
Just dandy. I'm having the best time ever. Woo-hoo.

[wheresyoursword]

I'll take it into consideration, Crowley.

[Crowley]
... Would you like to talk about it?

Aziraphale

[onlyanapple]

No.

They're throwing me a party. I've been here a year tomorrow. [He has a suspicion you KNOW, but he's giving you the benefit of the doubt here]

Crowley

[wheresyoursword]

[Why, that's very kind of you. He should know. But he doesn't. Isn't that a good thing? :|b]

And here I thought you enjoyed parties.

Aziraphale

[onlyanapple]

[It is, otherwise he'd be on the business end of a Crowley Sulk]

I enjoy crashing parties, there's a difference.

Crowley

[wheresyoursword]

[He'll never admit it but it's kind of sort of adorable.]

But isn't it nice to have a party in your honor at least once in your lifetime?

Aziraphale

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley hates it. So much]

No. Because I know the people here, and I know they'll end up taking the mickey.

Crowley

[wheresyoursword]

[Of course he would.

Also, he has no idea what that means.]

... "Taking the mickey"?

Aziraphale

[onlyanapple]

[If Aziraphale understood Crowley's "colourful idioms" the world would explode. Fact]

Taking the piss. You know [struggles to find something Aziraphale would understand a little better] make a joke out of me.

Crowley

[wheresyoursword]

[Ah ha ha. 8|]

But why would they do that?

Aziraphale

[onlyanapple]

Because they're a bunch of bastards, that's why. I'm only going to go to get drunk anyway.

Very, very drunk. [Pause] Spanish Inquisition drunk.

Crowley

[wheresyoursword]

I doubt it would be that bad, Crowley.

[Just. Sighs. He feels bad for you, really. :(]

Aziraphale

[onlyanapple]

[Oh and here comes the sulky fiver-year-old stubbornness]

I don't care, I'm getting drunk anyway. This is the final straw.

Crowley

[wheresyoursword]

[This is a fond chuckle. Unlike your mocking ones.]

Please be careful, if you do. Though I suppose that would not be very easy to accomplish since you'll be intoxicated, but... well. Do try to not do something you'll end up sulking for later.

Aziraphale

[onlyanapple]

[He can be fond...sometimes. Once in a blue moon]

I won't start dancing or anything, angel. Or singing. [Pause] Well, I'll try not to start singing. How long do you think I have to drink solidly for before I achieve unconsciousness?

Crowley

[wheresyoursword]

I wouldn't know. We always lose count after the tenth, I believe.
