smk_network[ The magic mirror displayed a scene of total chaos. A horse’s cart was halfway up a tree, in flames, and the horse that was meant to be the engine for the thing was running around loose sending people scattering off the sidewalks as it thundered by. Crowley held the mirror and looked back at the scene before walking away. ]
That could have gone better. Probably goes without saying I’m not going to be a carriage driver...
[ A small pause while the cart exploded and someone in the background screamed. ]
Anyone heard of--
[ He was suddenly interrupted by a little angry man who shouted after the demon, something about a wrecked cart, but it was difficult to hear anything but Crowley’s replies. ]
Pay you? You ought to be paying me! Like it’s my fault the horse doesn’t like demons! You never once said the horse doesn’t like demons!
[ Crowley waved the man off with a less-than-polite gesture and crash landed grumpily onto the nearest free bench, though with the panicked horse running wild most of the benches were empty. Most of the street too. People had piled into the nearest building which just so happened to be a candy shop. ]
As I was trying to ask before I was interrupted, anyone else heard of any other job openings? Not having the best of luck with it... I would have done fine as a driver but that horse--
[ He was interrupted again before he could continue. Crowley snarled as he turned to glare at this new distraction but in doing so he ended up dropping his magic mirror. ]
-- Hours Passed before the Mirror flared to life again --
[ Unsurprisingly it was to bear witness to another scene of chaos this time one of children and their parents frantically snatching up every boxed or bagged candy they could lay their hands on while one demon clad in uncharacteristically in white and sporting a lovely red striped bandanna carefully watched over their every action from behind the counter. ]
Everybody in here better be buying something or you are going back outside and trust me you don’t want to be out there with that horse still on the loose!

[Moonchild snorts and he shushes her gently] If you ask me, that job suits you better. I feel like we almost looked like Gene Wilder once. [he doesn't expect Crowley to understand what he means, but then again that's why he said it]

I've never had much trouble with horses. Not usually. But some of them are more flighty than others and this one must have a thing against demons. All I did was sit in the carriage and off she went! You'd think the devil himself was after her.

Date: 2019-08-02 05:47 pm (UTC)Moonchild...
[ The horse was given a disgruntled glare through the screen. ]
... is just fussy! I suppose its my fault she doesn't like my cologne? I can tell you this... after all that hay, oats and other things she's been into... I smell so much better than a horse! She should take care of her own odor before casting stones at others!
[ Oh he knew Gene Wilder so that bit of the reference wasn't lost on him but the Doctor's 'we' did seem misplaced. ]
I didn't ask you.
[ Weird... person who uses 'we' wrong. ]
And I'm not handing out any golden tickets.

[suddenly!]
Oohhhh! I can feel it, Rose! Right here! [he presses his hand against his chest in the space between his hearts] It's there like a small star.
Oh, this is brilliant!
Quick! Before it goes! We have to make this a production so--! Close your eyes and pick a number. Any number you want.

Date: 2019-08-02 07:59 pm (UTC)You know the Candy Man song, right?
Lucky number 7! [he gestures with the sonic. Points it aggressively, rather. As he would with anything. If Rose is cheating and has her eyes open a little, she might see white and gold energy that was not quite glitter and not quite not glitter swirl from the end of it and wrap around her.
When it fades she's wearing something a little like this.]
It's an illusion. Just a trick of the light. Amazing light. It can change how you see things and what you see. Anyway, do you like it? If not I can change it.

Now me... What do you think? Barbershop quartet or whimsical song man?
