[Aziraphale is in a park, standing at the shore of a pond. A pond full of dark red liquid, and some suddenly enthusiastically drinking ducks.

He looks a bit distressed.]

I really have no idea how this happened. Er. I suppose I ought to talk to the proper authorities, but I'm not sure I could explain...

Well, that's one way for reality to reinsert itself.

[squashesdoves]

I'm fairly sure this isn't the sort of reality that ought to be inserted anywhere but a sanatorium.

[He does a double-take.] Oh. You again. I don't suppose you'd care to explain-

[He blinks.]

Though of course, how could you explain this? It's completely absurd. I only did this once, and that was in Venice-

...but what am I saying? I've never been to Venice.

[knowsallaboutit]

No, come on, angel. You had it there for a minute. What about Venice?

[squashesdoves]

Venice-

What did you call me?

[and his expression begins to shift, like the unsettling of of .3rd of an alp by some particularly fervent worshipper's desire not to have to visit their grandmother's house that winter]

I-

- we were there to settle a bet, you know, a friend and I. A friend- oh. It was Crowley, of course.

How silly of me to forget.

[He shakes his head.]

[AND HE FINALLY REALIZES WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE]

It's, ah. It's wine. Very good claret, actually.

[deadlieststing]

Are you sure?

voice;

[squashesdoves]

Yes. I checked. Quite carefully.

Sapristi, what did you do?

[squashesdoves]

[AAAAAA]

I have no idea! But blasphemy does seem appropriate, since whatever I did, it turned water into wine.

[nometalinmyvag]

...How can you do that?

[squashesdoves]

It's a question of manipulating firmament.

[He blinks.]

That is to say, I certainly can't imagine. Perhaps it's- it's a fluke of some kind, or a prank, or...

[trails off.]

[iownkickassguns]

What's wrong with the pond?!

[squashesdoves]

Its waters were spontaneously transmuted into wine.

As best I can determine.

[iownkickassguns]

Did you do that?

[squashesdoves]

It- well, it happened after I dropped some bread in it, for the ducks, you know, but what that could have to do with anything I don't know.
