Crowley drags his mun into the Nexus. His mun, Richard, is probabl as close to being Aziraphale as it's possible to be without being an angel. He's intelligent, although not English, and is definitely gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. He also has a problem, and Crowley is definitely not the person to talk to about it.
Crowley pokes him, trying to get him to talk. Finally, after a sigh, he begins: "I was at this party. I had my computer, because I was roleplaying like the total nerdy loser I am, and everyone at this party knew that I was on my computer. They all saw me sitting on the couch. I got up to use the restroom and left my computer behind." He pauses, as if remembering something incredibly unpleasant. Crowley pokes him again. "I came back to witness my computer get... dive-bombed... by someone who apparently wished quite desperately
to sit on the couch." (He winces and Crowley elbows him, hissing "Get on with it!") "Er... the connection between monitor and computer snapped. There was... a crack... and the screen went completely blank." (He looks utterly crestfallen but Crowley is having none of his and pressures him to continue.) "The screen... split into God knows how many pieces."
"Well, go on, tell the rest," Crowley says.
"The girl who damaged it offered to pay for repairs. We thought that to replace the monitor, it would be three hundred, tops." Again he winces. "Apparently, with the monitor I had, it was cheaper, and easier, simply to buy a new computer. So I applied for an in-store credit card, bought a new laptop, and here I am. My question to the Nexus is, should I ask for the full price of the new computer? Or should I just pay it off myself, because I know I can? It won't put me back that much, and I hate to hold a grudge." (Crowley makes a noise of disgust and shakes his head.) "If I were Aziraphale, it would be 'Oh Lord, heal this computer'... But nothing is really lost. I can plug a monitor into the old laptop and retrieve all the data, so no real harm beyond monetary issues has been done. So should I ask her to at least help pay for the new computer?"
