smk_network[he has done this a few times by now, and for some reason is feeling less than enthusiastic about it. Perhaps it's the rain, or the ghosts outside that give him cold chills whenever they go past. Or perhaps he's just tired. He's been practicing more lately, though hasn't seem to have gotten much better.
He somehow manages to keep his expression friendly and open as he faces the mirror, white wings standing out against the gray light coming in behind him]
Hello... My name is Aziraphale, or Mr. Fell, if you prefer. I would like to welcome everyone who has newly arrived-- and I don't envy you having to brave the beastly weather to get here. Still, the clouds will soon part as they say.
I know that many of you must be weary or frightened, or even dare I say, angry, at the situation you have found yourselves thrust into. But if we all work together and combine our efforts and talents, I'm sure that we'll have the Corrosion beaten back in no time. So keep a stiff upper lip and keep moving forward.
And of course, if you need anything, my door is open in the hours listed or by previous appointment.

What's all this talk about The Corrosion? I've heard mention but haven't really managed to catch someone's ear enough to really ask about it.

Date: 2019-10-08 06:12 am (UTC)Let me guess, you're leading the first charge against this ... Corrosion crap.

Date: 2019-10-08 06:13 am (UTC)[and it hadn't seemed important]
But it can be defeated and purified. Well, purified by a Prince or Princess.
Have you learned your Class yet, dear?

Date: 2019-10-08 06:15 am (UTC)There is no such thing as a first charge. It's a series of missions, pecking away at the Corrosion. It's more in line of a thorough clean up than a battle.

Oh! Mhm! I'm a Hero according to Merlin of all people. Hey now, you sure we're not in some catch all for the British Isle?
[She's smiling though so clearly a joke.]

Have you been able to get word to Odin?

If it were, you wouldn't see me outside of London. This is a cultural desert, my dear. Not much to do unless you like reading the same few books until their pages are worn thin mixed with a heady dose of Americana.

There's always the paper, Mr. Fell!

None to speak of that I've seen. And even if there were, what would they put on it? Nothing worth reading in the Arts section but the winners of the yarn pot holder competition no doubt.
Re: : [Video]
Date: 2019-10-08 06:44 am (UTC)Crowded? Well, how many of us are there?
[Her smile softens.]
Folk art is popular in some circles you know and yarn pots can be pretty useful.

Yes, I suppose they can be. After all, who am I to look down my nose at such simple crafts. They can be beautiful in and of themselves.
[and humanity wasn't made to cater to him. He had to remember that. He was there for their benefit. That he got enjoyment was a happy coincidence]
I've become far too attached to culture, I think. Perhaps this is a good reminder to be more spartan about my tastes.

That's the spirit, of course nothing wrong with having a few little cultural tastes. S'long as you aren't pedantic about it.

Date: 2019-10-08 07:03 am (UTC)Mm. I agree. By the way, I don't believe I caught your name, my dear.

Oh, I'm sorry! Here you are, answering all my questions and I've not even been proper about. Sarah Jane Smith, you've been very helpful, Mr. Fell.
