Phale's Rare Books, Friday

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

In honor of Mayor Red, the flower boxes outside the shop have burst into red blooms, and a red ribbon has been tied around the bell on the shop door. Inside, Aziraphale is tidying the shop and setting out tea for his guests customers.


[OOC: Attention customers: anyone entering the shop after Jonathan Crane will encounter this. Don't say you weren't warned. (This isn't to say you can't interrupt, though. In fact, it might be a good idea if someone did. ;))]

[The shop is now closed.]

Maia came into the shop after talking with Allison. She had to talk to Aziraphale but when she got into the shop she found could not even look at him. "A-aziraphale." Maia said to ashamed to look him in face.

The tone of Maia's voice catches Aziraphale's attention immediately. He sets down the tray he was carrying and walks over to her. "What is it, my dear?"

"I- after I left last night I had to cut through the park and Crowley was there. I-" Maia could not look up, she tried to keep from crying. "I talked with him for a little while, I tried to see what you and Tara see in him and well he noticed my eyes because you know they are darker then most people." Maia shivered "And well he took his sunglasses off and showed me his and asked if I wanted a closer look." Maia was trembling and still cannot bring her face up to Aziraphales. "So I did and then I-I couldn't pull away from him. I don't know I saw Sara just in my head you know and I-I touched him because.." Maia shook her head "I touched him." She finally finished shaking all over.

Aziraphale puts his arms around Maia. "It's all right my dear, you'll be all right." He takes her over to an armchair and sits her down, pouring her tea (with a drop of the infusion she'd brought him yesterday).

[ooc: While Wilson would love to come visit I'm reminding him he has work to do today, though he and I will try to bring House down to meet Crowley and Aziraphale tonight!]

[ooc: Keep an eye out for Crowley to show up, and come on by! ]

[After Maia leaves]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty limps into Aziraphale's book shop (After his classes are done) and waves at Phale. "Sorry I haven't been around. With everything that has happened in the last week I just haven't been able to make it down here.

Re: [After Maia leaves]

Noticing Marty's limp (and overall rather tired appearance), Aziraphale stops what he's doing and walks over. Taking hold of Marty's arm, he directs him into one of the armchairs. "Good heavens, Marty. What's happened?"

Re: [After Maia leaves]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty sinks into one of the chairs.

"Let's just say I was up late talking to a... friend (http://www.livejournal.com/users/dean_bristow/12145.html). And the conversation was a little heated."

Re: [After Maia leaves]

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale pours Marty a cup of coffee and sets a plate of sandwiches on the table next to him. "Tell me," he says, sitting down in the other chair, his expression very serious.

[He's sprawled across the sofa in the reading lounge, flipping through catalogs. An unlit cigarette hangs from his lips. Anyone who interrupts him will probably annoy him. A lot.]

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

[Aziraphale smiles as he walks past the reading area. He steps momentarily into the kitchen and then reappears, coming over to set a cup of tea and a newspaper on the table next to Crowley.]

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

[He flashes a soft smile at the only being he's never displeased to see. He lays the catalog down.] Nice day for it, what?

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

Jonathan doesn't want to be in the dorms anymore, everyone is talking about Kitty and he didn't even know her. He doesn't think most of them did either. He's heard good things about the book shop in town and seeing as he doesn't have classes and he has no clue where Draco is, he gives it a try.

It's good to be out in town.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale looks up with a welcoming smile when he hears the door open. "Good day!" he says brightly, closing up the inventory ledger he was reading. "Do come in."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"Umm, hi," Jonathan says shyly, "I was just in town and I thought I'd stop in, wow," he stops looking around, "You have a lot of books Sir. My name is Jonathan by the way, Jonathan Crane." Jonathan extends his hand.

It had been a longish day, particularly the surgery on Grissom and Wilson was headed out to stretch his legs and clear his mind for a bit. House, in a surprise move, had offered to check in on Grissom then catch up with Wilson a little later so it was a solo oncologist who found his way to the rare book shop.

He slipped in quietly, remembering his visit last time and uncertain what exactly his intentions were tonight. Perhaps a review of the books...to see if something tickled his fancy. It wasn't his intention to be a bother.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

The door is unlocked, but the shop appears to be empty -- except for what seems for all the world to be a faint growling sound coming from the back of the shop (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomtownies/290221.html?thread=11576237#t11576237).


[And if you're looking for the proprietors, that's where you'll find them. *grin*]

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

If he was just a little more comfortable he might have gone to investigate. As it was...time passed and the oncologist wandered off as quietly as he'd wandered in.

[gotcanewillpoke.livejournal.com]

House headed in to town looking to meet up with Wilson at the rare bookshop. He half expected to find the oncologist inside, perusing the books. He didn't hesitate to tug the door open, and limp inside, blue eyes scanning the shop for any sign of his lover.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

At the sound of the door, Aziraphale hurries out from the back of the shop. He's slightly disheveled, and appears to be buttoning up his shirt.

"Terribly sorry. How may I help you?"

[gotcanewillpoke.livejournal.com]

His eyes flicker, taking in the sight of the man buttoning his shirt, and a smirk touches his lips.

"I'm meeting a friend here. Dr James Wilson."

It was late and the shop's sign said closed but this place was the only one he could think of in a hurry to get them out of the party before they killed someone. Loz was not happy and his entire body was tense, literally vibrating in anger.

With his cell phone held to his ear, Yazoo cupped his other hand around his eyes and peered into the shop. A swift conversation transpired that would result in Kadaj meeting them there rather than at the park.

Flipping the phone off, he tried the knob which gave beneath his grip. Yazoo pushed in the door and looked around. At least being in the shop would get them off the streets in case any of the local police drove by while they waited for Kadaj.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

At the sound of the door, Aziraphale walks into the front of shop. His hair is mussed, he isn't wearing his jacket, and his shirttail is untucked.

"I'm terribly sorry, but the shop is-- Oh!" He stops when he sees Yazoo, and smiles, nodding at the other brothers as well. "Do come in, my dear. Is something wrong?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo waved his hand toward the door and stepped forward. "Needed a place to get away from trouble." It looked like they had awakened Aziraphale and for a moment, Yazoo felt bad about it. "We won't stay long."

Kadaj and Loz were standing close together and behind Yazoo, their gazes calmly looking around the shop.
