[Yep, Mama Chapel's checking in on everyone, per usual. She has to do this every time things get too weird, you see. Today, she's sitting at her office desk, in her usual attire of a long-sleeved shirt under her scrub top, her gloves sitting on the desk for now. Around her neck is a snake. He's not enormous, but he's far from small, about the size

[This is a composed Aziraphale. He was sputtering a moment ago when he saw this post, but he's okay now. Sort of.]

Er...I wouldn't say he belongs to me, but...I'm familiar with him.

[And suddenly, the snake it glaring very specifically at the watch. Christine just smiles.]

Familiar I'll take, so long as it identifies him. You really ought to keep a better eye on him, though, sir.

A-ah...I, er, do try. I believe we were separated by the last odd happening's doings - I was stuck in the catacombs.

[nurse_cchapel]

Ah, yes. The City's no good at letting us stay together sometimes.

Did you want to come pick him up?

[Video --> Action]

[angelic_phale]

[If he'll let me.]

Yes - I'll only be a moment, not that far off~

[Only he kind of is, but he shuts the watch and flies that way and it's like he wasn't that far. So that's okay.]

[He actually entertained the idea of knocking for a moment, but then realized it wasn't necessarily a home. Clinic. Right. Darn nerves... So he steps in.]

[Previously, the snake around Christine's shoulders had only been around her shoulders. That is, not wrapped around fully to cover the front of her neck. Now he was, though, head peeking out just under her ear while she frowned and tried to get him to uncoil himself.

At the door opening, she called out which door to take from the front entrance: her tone was equal parts perplexed and cheerful.]

[Follows the directions and steps into the room, smiling]

Ah, hello Miss...?

[nurse_cchapel]

Chapel! But Christine will do just fine.

[She's smiling from behind her desk and still trying to dislodge the damned snake from around her neck.]

[angelic_phale]

Christine - a pleasure to meet you. I'm Aziraphale.

[reaches out to shake her hand]

...sorry about the serpent. I'm afraid he probably won't let go until he feels like it - stubborn creature he is.

[nurse_cchapel]

[She abandons her hopes of getting desnaked for the moment, to reach across the desk to shake his hand.]

It's fine, really. Ah... nice to meet you, too, Aziraphale. That's a lovely name. Is it human?

[angelic_phale]

No, actually. Angelic, rather.

[nurse_cchapel]

You're an angel?

[Action]

[angelic_phale]

I am.

[Doesn't sound high and mighty about it - he actually thought most people knew by now. And not all took it positively.]

[Action]

[nurse_cchapel]

Huh... that's a first.

[She's quiet a moment, thinking about all the ways that claim works logically, and then all the ways it works in regards to a semi-spiritual upbringing. And after a few seconds, she's about to say something when, instead, the snake constricts around her neck, causing her to eek out a little noise as she moved to her hands to try to coax him into stopping that. It was apparently only a warning, though, because he relinquished easy enough, leaving Christine letting out a nervous little laugh.]

He's an enthusiastic little serpent, then, is he?

[Action]

[angelic_phale]

Enthusiastic...when it comes to causing trouble.

[nurse_cchapel]

I see.

Well, would you like to help me peel him off or can I interest you in tea while he makes up his own mind about it?
