Oh, dear, I'm rather late, aren't I? I've never been very good at remembering to use the Network as much as I ought to.

I do hope you've all had a pleasant time. Er, I know it can be rather upsetting to end up here suddenly, but all in all I'm pleased to say I've seen more people welcoming the company than complaining about it.

Soon enough, I expect, you'll all be safely on your way home, at any rate.

[ooc; plz pretend this was a tad earlier in the evening. No other Aziraphales, otherwise good with everything.]

You should come out for a walk with me. The City's bustling with newcomers.

[mr_phale]

It would be my pleasure, though you do realized I'll be honour-bound to keep you from trouble?

[itsjustafruit]

You would be obliged to try. [And probably succeed, but let's not put too fine a point on that.]

[mr_phale]

As long as that's understood.

[itsjustafruit]

We do have an Arrangement, even here. Of course it's understood.

[mr_phale]

Well, and one never knows who might be about, on days like these.

[It wouldn't do to be caught with ones thwarting down, after all.]

[itsjustafruit]

True enough, although if we bump into Hastur or Ligur, keep your thwarting to yourself. It's more than my skin's worth to get caught out on that.

[mr_phale]

I'll let you tell them you're winning.

[itsjustafruit]

Likewise if we run into any of your lot. You're a top grade thwarter.

[mr_phale]

Naturally.
