[Crowley has found himself a canal-side seat at a cafe and is watching the passers-by with no small interest. Just under him, a small flotilla of ducks has gathered, and occasionally he tosses one a bit of biscuit. Usually they don't even sink, he must be in a good mood.

As it turns out, his attention seems much more focused on the people who pass by and particularly those who navigate around a corner by his table. Why? Because for some reason that particular corner seems to be very slippery.

That's the fourth citizen to tumble into the canal this morning and he's recording it all for posterity: the initial slip, the flailing arms grasping for something to arrest the fall, the teetering right at the brink over the canal's murky water, and finally, the resoundingly satisfying splash followed by the sound of a single demon's sardonic applause.]

Well done, you.

[He adjusts his camera to provide a slow motion replay of the entire tumble before he sets it down to record the next victim poor soul.]

[ooc: come take a tumble or have lunch with Crowley or berate him for his schadenfreude and poor taste in pranks?]

If you keep the habit you don't slip when it's important.

[Not that he really has the habit, and of course he never calls Aziraphale a friend, but a demon's got to keep up appearances.]

[indecent_butterfly]

Afraid of your own tongue? You should use it more often.

[itsjustafruit]

You might be the first one from our side to say that. Other than the higher ups who told me to get out and make some trouble.

[indecent_butterfly]

One did not say how you should use it.

[itsjustafruit]

Tacky. One can abstain from doing so. It's no trouble.

[indecent_butterfly]

[But Crowley, ne's had very little fun in the past week and a half.]

Don't assume the response.

[Ne does have some boots and a floor or twenty that could use cleaning.]

[itsjustafruit]

[Crowley's mind goes to the non-sexual options first. Then the sexual because he's been around humans a very long time.]

You can assume my utter lack of eagerness regardless of your proposition.

[indecent_butterfly]

How disappointing.

In that case, put it to other use. One needs a suggestion for movies.

[itsjustafruit]

What genre? I've been catching up on movies made after my day and I can say that for absolute horror you can't go wrong with Maid in Manhattan.

[indecent_butterfly]

Something a child might like.

[Not that ne's going to trust him on anything, but it'll give nem a place to start.]

[itsjustafruit]

Why not go with a classic like Fantasia? [Which is visually stunning and has the added benefit of annoying adults who think children will love it when in fact the majority are abjectly terrified of Night On Bald Mountain.]

[indecent_butterfly]

Fantasia. One shall go look for this. Thank you.

[Not this child, he's not too phased by anything, including living with Hatter.]

Enjoy your show as well.

[itsjustafruit]

Don't mention it.

[He raises a teacup toward the camera before having a sip of something distinctly not tea.]

I intend to. We're going to start the competitive judging soon. I think it may call for trophies.
