[ The person on the video looks like he's trying way too hard to look casual. Dressed in black, with red hair that clearly has a lot of product in it, and sunglasses on indoors which just make him look like even more of a tool, he's sprawled lazily on a sofa. He sounds British*. ]

So, being kidnapped to another dimension is great and all, yippee, just what I wanted this week, good to see America is just as tedious in this dimension as in mine, but - there's really only one question worth asking, here.

Where can I get a decent drink?





[ *He's not, since Hell isn't in Britain. ]

[Aziraphale has a mobile now, Crowley. There'll be no getting rid of him ever.]

Ah yes, straight to priorities. That is a good question though.

[His features work themselves into what can really only be described as a pout, though Aziraphale would prefer 'stoic resignation' or something along those lines. But it's pouting.] All my favorite restaurants are in another universe now. It's very inconvenient.

[goodtobebad]

[ The fact that Aziraphale has a mobile is possibly the best part of this whole situation, as far as Crowley is concerned. He's going to teach you all about emojis... and selfies... and instagram...

Crowley smiles faintly. Really, there's no sense in pouting about it! ]

You'll find new ones. Just imagine all the fun you'll have discovering your new favorite hidden gems. I'm sure some of the people in this country don't just fry everything.

[He is a babe in the technological wood. ...please teach him these things. He'll only use the knowledge for good....ish, of course.]

I suppose, yes. It's just, they know my name and all my preferences back home...

[Okay Crowley is right. No sulking.] But you're right of course. It will be fun trying new places, hunting down the best of them.

[And just like that he's excited.] Maybe I'll start tonight. Care to join me? We can choose somewhere that serves liquor, of course.

[Well hello, there, sir, don't you look very... casual...

Jane replies, and she also sounds very British*. She replies in the enthusiastic tone of someone who has heard a question that they know an excellent answer to, without realising she has missed some very vital context.]

I found a wonderful café on my first day here. They even do real tea.





[ *actually British ]

[ Oh. Oh no. He's been here all of maybe ten hours and he's already found an earnest little helper. Ugh.

He's such a sucker for those. ]

Ah. That's... not the sort of drink I meant.

[melodramagic]

You know, it's kind of concerning the amount of new imPorts who ask for alcohol upon arrival.

[ Be kind to your livers! ]

[goodtobebad]

Might be a side effect of all the kidnapping, not sure.

[ Very blase. ]

But it's very kind of you to be concerned about the health and well-being of total strangers. Or are you just wanting to prevent drunken brawls?

[ Crowley likes the occasional drunken brawl. Well, he likes provoking them, and then sitting back and watching the humans go at it. ]

Well ya can't swing a cat by the tail 'round Maurita Falls without hittin' some dive or another.

Did I not put enough emphasis on the decent part of that request?

[devilishly_handsome]

A friend told me about a place called Dungeons and Daiquiris that was pretty fun.

Okay, the drinks were only okay.

But the theme was really fun!

[goodtobebad]

[ Oh. Yeah. You are the reason why Crowley needs a drink. ]

Uhhh. Right.

Nice horns.

What're you supposed to be?

[ Crowley has no tact. ]

[The person sitting primly at her desk has some superficial similarities. She's also wearing black and has sunglasses on indoors. She doesn't look like she's ever been in the same zip code as cool, though, and seems perfectly content with that.

Or vaguely annoyed, but honestly that's just how her face is. The sunglasses don't help.]

Does America have superheroes where you come from?

[goodtobebad]

Not that I've ever heard of. Might make it a little more interesting if they did.

[ But... nope. ]

Pour Decisions, Maurtia Falls.

[He's been here less than a week and he's already an authority on the subject. Although his bar for 'decent' is pretty low, for the record.]

[goodtobebad]

Is that some kind of a bad pun? Sounds like either a complete dive or the worst kind of tourist trap.

[ Either way, he’ll give it a shot. ]

what is it with this dimension and punny names?

[dragony]

Most of the good ones, you'll have to go out of your way for. If you're sticking to Heropa, there's Sharkies' on the east side — not to be mistaken for Sharkey's on 4th, which is just an American diner. Shots & Pans is in Nonah; they try to push the wines more now, but it's a decent enough place to get blackout drunk. Free bread. Terrible potatoes.

You can go wrong with an Iceberg Lounge, but not as far as the drinks go. There's probably, like, twelve of them now.

Or, are you the type who'd prefer to take the whole bottle rack home? You may want to stock up, in that case. There's a lot more tedious about this place than the geography.

A chain of bars, why am I not surprised.

Thanks, though - this is a good start.

[ He just said thanks. Ugh. Might as well go all the way. ]

I'm Crowley. Anthony Crowley.

What city did they dump you in?

[goodtobebad]

Nonah. Not that it matters - I can travel.

That depends... What's your poison?

[ Akobi generally prefers to drink alone, in his private office, but he can at least recommend some good brands of alcohol. ]

video; NEVER LATE

Scotch.
