[save_the_souls]

[A quick message is sent during hang out time with Ino. His keypad is probably stuck in capslock but HE DON'T HAVE TIME TO CHANGE IT.]

CROWLEY

I THINK INO'S FOUND ANOTHER GUY

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley takes the capslock for desperation. It's that sort of situation anyway.]

Oh bollocks, not another one.

Which one is he? There are a lot of crazy pyschos here, Allen. We need to narrow it down.

[ino]

You are SO dead the next time I see you.

[onlyanapple]

Hello, Ino! :)

[save_the_souls]

You're okay, right? [Please tell him he is. Please tell him the stupid arse is so okay he slept through it all]

Voice

[onlyanapple]

Of course I am, can't die, remember? I am completely and utterly done with this captain milarky, though.

How about you? All limbs still intact?

text;

[ino]

[ You can almost hear the dramatic sigh that would have accompanied this, had it not been a text ]

Alright, you win. We're dating.

text;

[onlyanapple]

:D

And this is why you should always listen to Uncle Crowley.

Text; 5/23

[save_the_souls]

Who's Adam?

[NO. I AM NOT TRYING TO GAUGE IF I SHOULD BE JEALOUS FOR COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL REASONS. I AM SINCERELY SIMPLY CURIOUS ABOUT THIS YOUNG MAN YOU NEVER BOTHERED TO MENTION MUCH. THERE IS NO BAGGAGE HERE, I AM A COMPLETELY EMOTIONALLY STABLE AND RATIONAL ADULT. EVEN IF, OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING OF COURSE, I THINK ADAM HAS STUPID HAIR.]

[onlyanapple]

He's a kid I was assigned to watch over back home. I kind of bollocksed it up. I'm sure I mentioned him before. World almost ended, all that mess.

[Daddy loves both of you, now go get him a beer.]

text;

[ino]

Alright, I need you to help me with something. Or at least be on my side for this.

[onlyanapple]

[Uh oh. ]

I have a feeling where this is headed.

Text;

[save_the_souls]

I haven't seen any magazines appear in my room lately. Did she take the bait??

[onlyanapple]

Well.

I have some good news and some bad news on that front.

text;

[ino]

So not only did I get Allen TWO different dates that he ENJOYED, but he was MAD THE SECOND ONE DIDN'T KISS HIM ON THE MOUTH!!!!!!

ON THE MOUTH, CROWLEY. ON THE MOUTH.

[ Please help her before she passes out from too much excitement. ]

text;

[onlyanapple]

[Oh sweet ungodly cacophony what is this. ]

So what I'm getting from this is that Allen is playing the field and wants to hop right in there, without any of this pansy ass hand holding bullshit?

Huh. I'm actually a little proud.

Which one's the second one? I've only heard about the girl? Misha?

9/1, Text

[save_the_souls]

[Let it be known that a Walker always remembers his debts. So here he is, repaying his debt for Ino's help with a date, with a message for Crowley:]

Ino's birthday is the 23rd. Don't kidnapped anyone.

[onlyanapple]

Oh come on, a good kidnapping is a great birthday present.

[It's hard to tell if h's being sarcastic or not via text.]

text;

[ino]

[ While she's on the way to Allen's room with Robin, she'll be shooting Crowley a text: ]

Meet me at Allen's room -- Robin has a plan to solve the Nea problem for now.

text;

[onlyanapple]

Finally. Some good news.

On my way.

[delincuente]

[Merry Christmas, Crowley! On the morning of the 25th he'll find a gift bag surreptitiously left outside his door, containing:

- One (1) small canvas painting
- One (1) questionable dime store mug
- A signed card from Alex with a short personal message

Enjoy!]

Text;

[onlyanapple]

[Probably like... a week later. So he doesn't have to actually appear grateful or anything. Whatever. ]

Okay.

But what the fuck is the painting of?

Voice (shortly after arrival at ice planet)

[lord_wizard]

[A day of wandering on the surface proved to Felix that it was possible for something this inhospitable to be beautiful, but also cold and lonely. Thinking about that, and everything he'd been shoving into the metaphorical closet, makes him dial Crowley with slightly numb fingers.]

This planet is miserable. Where you you?

[He needs a drink or...something. Also, based on the sound of rustling and footsteps, he's already coming to find Crowley. Knowing the demon's hatred for the cold, Felix guesses he's bundled up in his own ship, though there's ample time to detour back to his own to borrow a shuttle.]

Voice;

[onlyanapple]

[Felix would be, of course, absolutely right in that assessment. Crowley is in his room, curled up in as many blankets as he could flinch, hating every second of this Someone-forsaken hunk of floating ice. ]

In my room on the Pathstone. Not stepping foot onto this fucking planet so don't even ask me to.

[kotatsu]

[ sometime during the day when he's at his bar or in his room, a small paper frog finds its way to him. there's a note attached to it: ]

Crowley,

I hope you've been doing ok! I just wanted to say hi. Let's hang out soon!

- Nanako

Text to Nanako

[onlyanapple]

[Sweet someone this is adorable. ]

'Lo there, Nanako. Thanks for the frog. We can certainly spend some time together. How about the park sometime while we're at the station?

Text; 4/9

[save_the_souls]

I got a bottle of Varric's newest product. I only need some of it, do you want the rest?

Text

[onlyanapple]

I'm honestly surprised you need any of it at all. Have you finally started drinking alcohol?

...Still, thanks, I'll take it. Need to see what that sneak is trying to use to get one up on me with.

Voice; 1/2

[save_the_souls]

[It's late at night when this message gets sent out]\

Crowley are you-

Text; 2/2

[save_the_souls]

[- WAIT THIS IS CROWLEY HE'S TALKING ABOUT. The guy who slept through the 19th century! If he's asleep there's NO WAY he's waking him up.]

[And so the voicemail gets deleted and he sends a text instead]

Crowley I have some really good news!! Call me whenever you wake up!

Action; 9/23ish (after the shuffle)

[save_the_souls]

[ Normally Allen only came into the Malum when it was time to check the inventory. However today? Even though he's still in a wheelchair, that doesn't stop him from wheeling into Malum. He seems to be looking for the owner, as the moment he spots him- he's making a direct beeline for him.

From his expression, it's clear he's not coming in with good news.]

Crowley.

action 4ever only pain here now

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley is honestly surprised to see Allen wheeling in. He'd already expecting him to stay away while he was healing. The demon had hoped it was part of their unspoken contract of caring for one another. That Crowley would want Allen to look after himself first.

...Oh. But that expression.]

I have a feeling I'm not going to like this one. Is this a sitting down in a dark corner 'Crowley' or a shut the whole bar and barricade us in here 'Crowley'?

Voice

[apurrstate]

I just wanted you to know that you've ruined my happy home life. Thank you.

Voice

[onlyanapple]

I did? Wow, I usually have to work a lot harder to do stuff like that.

How'd I manage it? So I can take notes.

Text; 4/11

[save_the_souls]

Okay Castiel's been in the fleet several days and you haven't turned up in my quarters drunk, so I'm starting to get worried.

Are you okay?

[PLEASE UNCLE YOU BETTER NOT HAVE WALKED OUT AN AIRLOCK]

Text;

[onlyanapple]

[Such a good nephew, checking up on him.]

I'm fine.

Like. Weirdly, genuinely fine. I mean. It sucks a little? But mostly I'm very...whatever a more fancy word is for a shrug.

backdated to august 2; text

[sylphid]

You have a bluetiful establishment. Thank you for your hospitality.

text

[onlyanapple]

This is going to happen every week, isn't it?

august 9

[sylphid]

[After Fie's had her slushie in complete silence, she leaves some credits on the bar with a note scrawled on a napkin.]

Thank blue for the service.

WHY

[onlyanapple]

[This is the worst game. Like literally the worst game. Why this. ]

aug 16; text

[sylphid]

Your decor remains fruitiful.

aug 16; text

[onlyanapple]

Fruit puns now, is it?

aug 23

[sylphid]

You're doing a grape job with your bar.

[onlyanapple]

Wrong fruit, but I'll let it slide.

Action; early Jan

[wolfehawke]

((While this is happening.))

[Adalwolfe hasn't stepped foot inside of Malum since he arrived back in the fleet several months ago but considering what's happening across the damn ship, he's in need of a completely ridiculous amount of alcohol and an atmosphere that doesn't remind him of Thedas at all, something the Space Bar does based on its originator. So here he is, stalking in with such a dour look that it might make the flowers on the tables whither in his presence; if there were flowers, anyway.

He drops himself into a stool at the bar and all but faceplants on its surface, not even checking to see who the serving bartender even is tonight. He just taps the bartop in the way he's seen some others do when he worked here that means "a drink good sir and make it strong enough for me to forget my own name."]

Action forever

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley comes to the age-old barkeep summons with all the nonchalance of someone who has seen everything and feels unsurprising by anything. Which is...generally the case with Crowley, but he's rather trying to make a point.

He idly starts making a drink for Wolfe, he doesn't need to ask what, he can guess. He places the drink on the bar with a soft clunk.]

You're ten months late for work.

special delivery - happy dawning!

[stormfist]

[ You know those pesky winter gift-giving holidays? Yep, Jayden's got one, too. And normally, she wouldn't give a shit about it, but life in the Fleet has somehow found a way to make her give more of a shit. Oops?

Sitting outside Crowley's door are two bottles of very fine red wine - some of the best available that she could find on the last planet. Tied to the neck of one of them is a note, that simply reads: "To Crowley, Happy Dawning - Jayden" ]

video

[onlyanapple]

[You know, he hasn't got a damn clue what that is, but it's FREE WINE and he'll take it. He'll even send her a message later. ]

Okay, so I feel the need to ask you about whatever holiday it is that means I get fancy wine- because that's my kind of holiday.

[That's LIKE saying thank you, right? ]

[sylphid]

did you know babies are cooked at womb temperature?

text; april 25

[onlyanapple]

[It's way too early for this. Even if it's eight PM it's way too early for this. ]

What? What the fuck, Fie?

[And then, about ten minutes later when it finally clicks. ]

Congratulations, you made me die a little inside. I hope you're happy.
