Phale's Book Shop: Wednesday

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

After classes, Marty walks to town and unlocks the door and peers around inside to make sure Crowley isn't running around and going all "Fo shizzle" all over the place.

After making sure the store is "pimp demon" free, he starts going about the routine of getting everything set up for the day.

Comments

Buy a book.

Though Phale won't like it.

Reading Lounge

Read. Think. Just be quiet.

Jarod browsed the shelves, pulled down a book on Christianity, one on Judaism, one on Buddhism, one on Islam, and one on Paganism, and took them over to one of the tables. It wasn't all of the world's religions, but it was definitely a place to start.

Marty swings by the lounge and sees Jarod. "Jerry! Anything I can help you find?"

Re: Reading Lounge

Jarod looked up from his reading. "No, thank you, I seem to be set for now."

"Do you mind if I ask you something?" Sure, the guy is a perfect stranger, but he figures the human element might make a difference here. He's pretended to be a priest before, but this is somehow different. "I'm trying to find out about faiths and religions. I need to pick one."

Tea, Coffee, Dead Flowers

For those who want to talk with Crowley and Phale...

Kiki comes in in the morning and waves to Marty. "Hi, Marty!" she calls. "I'm just looking for Mr. Crowley. Have you seen him yet today?"

Re: Tea, Coffee, Dead Flowers

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"No I haven't seen Mr. Pimp Daddy Crowley today. I'm sure he'll be in soon. Why do you want to see him?"

Re: Tea, Coffee, Dead Flowers

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"I just wanted to ask if he's fixed the cup that Darla cracked when she was here last week," Kiki says. She's suddenly aware that it sounds a bit like a flimsy excuse. Oh well.

Aziraphale wanders in from having been napping invisible hiding all of Crowley's trance CDs busy with whatever it is he does when he's not in the shop. Smiling brightly at Marty, he pours himself a cup of tea and takes a seat in his big armchair by the window.

Re: Tea, Coffee, Dead Flowers

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Sometime in the evening, Aziraphale takes a phone call, which would be a surprise to everyone if there were anyone left in the shop. Finishing the call, he jumps up, grabs his coat and scarf, and scrawls a note.

Dear boy -
Gone to the pub with James. The one with the singing. Back soon.
A

Then he heads out the door.

[OOC: *Glares Back* I may have a thread with Angel coming in. Can we agree that it happens at different times?]

[demonbelthazor]

[OOC: Certainly. Or it might be a 3-way glare fest. ;) ]

Having fully gotten his pimp on yesterday, Crowley is back to normal. He's spending most of the day in the kitchen, baking cookies for a special human, but he'll talk to you if you want him to. Why would you want him to?

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

Kiki strolls in. "Hi, Mr. Crowley!" she greets. "Do you want a hand with anything?"

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

No, pest. After your cheesecake, I have no doubt you would ruin a perfectly fine batch of snickerdoodles.

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"I could always taste-test them to make sure you haven't dropped in more than the federally-permitted allotment of cigarette ash," Kiki replies without missing a beat, a grin from ear to ear on her face. "Although I rather think that would make you grind out your cigarette in them on purpose."

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

If Crowley comes back into the kitchen after talking with Phebe and Bel, he'll find Kiki washing dishes and then carefully inspecting each teacup.

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor, holding Phoebe's hand, walked into the store at a time when Angel wasn't there. He looked around to see if Crowley was there.

*glares at Belthazor*

From the sewer, a champion arises...

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty finishes undoing all of Anya's hard work, hoping that Phale will be happy with it

Re: From the sewer, a champion arises...

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

During a moment free from classes and trying to squirm out of his job with the newspaper, Angel sewered it over to Phale's book store.

He walked in with a look of trepedation, though he couldn't put his finger on why.

He spotted Marty and came over. "What's up?"

Re: From the sewer, a champion arises... [Locked to Marty and Angel]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty put down a couple of books and waved him over the overstuffed chairs where they could have some privacy.

"I need to know more about you girlfriend. She was in here the other day having a private chat with Belthazor."
