Crowley was still driving after the meeting the day before. He was still cranky. He still wanted to get drunk. He had been exploring the city and he wasn't terribly happy with what he'd found so far.

He was turning a corner on a street with a building at the end of it about five blocks away when a horrible noise accompanied by an earthquake began. Crowley stopped the car immediately and opened the door of the car and standing just outside the car, leaning on the door. He could tell the cacophony was coming from the building ahead of him. Just what it was, he wasn't certain about.

Sophie was working in the shop when she heard the noise. What sort of horrid thing had come how? She made her way outside before noticing exactly where it was coming from. She sighed heavily and threw her shawl over her, running to the house.

She noticed the man leaning against the car as she turned to the right block. She knew where the house was readily enough. She visited Calcifer and was taking care of that mess he'd been forced to live in. She paused, looking at the man who was watching. "Have you gone in?"

He was new, but these things happened often here.

[eyesofaserpent]

Crowley looked at the girl. Had he gone in? Did it look like he'd gone in? He had just been considering turning around and driving away from whatever the hell that was.

Instead of saying any of that, he simply said, "No."

[gray_lil_mouse]

Sophie had a good mind to roll her eyes at the man. Someone was throwing such a fit - or being eaten by some sort of loud creature, and he hadn't gone in?!?

Actually, she supposed that was natural. She herself was scared out of her skin; but Calcifer was in there. He was her friend. Besides, for all his wickedness Howl wasn't so bad. So instead of turning around and walking away, or even contemplating it, she pulled her gray shawl even closer and marched towards the house before pausing to look back. "Coming?"

[wicked_howell]

The front steps were already covered in a thick green slime. It oozed down slowly making the appearance that the building was slowly melting from the inside out. The noises did not stop.

If one looked to the building it would appear darker then all around it. As if a shadow was placed upon it and slowly spreading, like an infection trying to engulf the block. It truly made a horrible sight.

[eyesofaserpent]

He took a step from his Bentley and closed the door. He wasn't about to get it closer to all the clamor just in case something were to dare scratch the paint.

He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his leather coat and trudged forward with the odd little woman.

[gray_lil_mouse]

She gave a curt nod to the man and started towards the house. The green slime and the bark shadows were daunting to say the least, but she wasn't about to let her only friend in there to fend for himself - nor the man that was the only connection to home. Even if he was an overgrown brat.

Moving slowly through the slime she finally managed her way into the house. Noticing Howl was the cause of all this disturbance she wasn't really surprised. “I thought you were dying.” She grumbled, grabbing the broom and trying to clean off where Calcifer was screaming.

[wicked_howell]

Howls hands were digging into his newly acquired ginger colored hair. He was hunched over the table, covered in slime and nothing else. He moved his head just a bit so he could peer between his bent arm to the door.

"I am dying! Are you the person who has been coming in here making a point to touch all my things!?" The tone was the sort one might have with crying, the store a person would not think to hear from a groan man. "Oh and you brought the demon with you!" he wailed "I hate it here! I hate it!" the rest of his words were more declarations of unhappiness, hate and mild swearing all in Welsh.

[eyesofaserpent]

Crowley stepped into the building, making faces at the slime that was likely ruining his snakeskin shoes. Of course. That wizard would be at the center of all this. The new hair colour was a nice change, Crowley thought. But when Howl broke out his Welsh, the demon couldn't help but smile. Creating the Welsh language had been one of his finer achievements.

"Oh, who doesn't hate it here, Wizard? Why do you think I'm so keen on finding a way out?"

Crowley looked around and spotted a scrub brush and grabbed it before he frowned and attempted to help the woman get the slime away from the little fire demon.

[gray_lil_mouse]

Of course he wanted to go home. No one wanted to be stuck in a place that was, quite frankly, destitute and scary. They all had a reason - someone to go home to. Hers was her family - even if she was destined to trim hats for the rest of her life. She still wanted to get back to them.

She frowned heavily, looking back while she kept trying to save the demon from being put out. The poor thing was screaming and frantic. Sophie had no - well, little pity for Howl. He was acting like a complete baby. It was times like this that she really started to wonder how he had become such a feared man in Ingry.

"I think it looks nice." She said after taking a bit of a longer look. Although covered in green slime, it looked rather good on him. It brought out the green in his eyes actually.

Her words turned to Crowley then. "Open the bathroom door." They needed to get him away from the hearth before he put Calcifer out.

[wicked_howell]

The sounds and shaking had stopped by then and the slime was coming out less. Howl himself simply wasn't responding to anything anymore, leaning over as if he were dead.

His actions had been excessive and over the top. But to him they expressed his frustration quite well. Frustration from being here, from encountering unhelpful people, and what he would never admit to anyone; the possible loss of his family forever. Before this he had been quite sure he probably wouldn't mind never going back to Wales. Not that he had ever experimented with that concept. Getting stuck here made him feel quite like the failure Megan always called him, which made the fact he was stuck all the worst.

[eyesofaserpent]

Crowley grimaced as he waded through the slime to the three doors. He poked his head in one, which turned out to be a bedroom. The second door, however, uncovered the bathroom. He opened it as wide as he could.

Without another word, he stalked over to the limp wizard and picked him up. Why did all humans seem heavier when they were like this? He took the dead weight easily enough and set him in the tub. "You have rather made a mess of things, Wizard..."

[gray_lil_mouse]

Sophie was more then thankful to have the other man with her. Otherwise she would have been pushing the chair into the bathroom. "Turn on the water. Very hot." She called to Crowley as she took up the shovel and started moving ash into the piles of slime around the edges of the hearth. She needed to keep Calcifer safe.

[wicked_howell]

Howl silently made himself heavier in his quiet efforts to express his emotions. He refused to even accept the possibility of going overboard and half wished everyone would go away and leave him alone to sulk. Yet, at the same time he knew very well there had been no point in putting off such a show to simply sulk alone. He had wanted people to KNOW he was sulking and he got that. People other then Calcifer at least, who did know quite well how Howl was feeling.

[eyesofaserpent]

Crowley looked at the water spigot and switched it to pour out hot water. Honestly, this was an annoying mess. Someone besides the two of them must have heard that cacophony outside. Was everyone just afraid? Or were they catatonic.

Oh well... He must have been meant to be dealing with this. "I hope you don't plan on having me wash you... You can do that on your own, right?"
