[When the SFC, you'll notice immediately that something is off with Crowley.]

[Because, for once, he isn't smiling.]

[Usually, he makes posts to troll the community, but now...now he doesn't look like he's in the mood. He taps a finger on his chair, frowning as if trying to figure out what to say. It's silent for a few minutes before he finally opens his mouth and speaks.]

I might be beating a dead horse over this, and you probably already all know this already, but Aziraphale went home.

[And he drifts off back into silence.]

...Guess one can't expect people to stay around here forever.

[He switches off the camera, unsure of what else to say, before he remembers one thing and turns on the camera again, filtering to a certain someone:]

( Filtered to Johnny Raylo ).

[So, what's a demon to do when he's bored? Taint a few people's souls? Do something so annoying that one has fun just hearing people's reactions over it? Play some music to get yourself into the groove of doing evil and generally spreading wiles?]

[WHY NOT DO ALL AT ONCE?]

[But Crowley being Crowley, he's going to be sneaky about it. So he turns on the camera, looking incredibly genial and obviously not up to anything bad at all whatsoever.]

So...it's come to my attention that most of you haven't got a clue about what truly great music is. I mean, sure, your worlds and all have nice composers, I'm sure, but in our world, there's a certain genre of music that is scientifically proven to lower stress, make you smarter, and calm you down.

And what is this miraculous genre of music, you may ask? Why, it's none other than the truly breathtaking genre of classical music. Here. Have a listen.

[He reaches over away from the camera, and suddenly, one can hear a lovely tune playing in the background.]

Like it, huh? Well, the guy who made this piece of music? He made so much more. And don't even get me started on all the other composers we have back home who were geniuses at what they did. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart...the list goes on and on.

[He steeples his fingers together, grin widening.]

Since I want everyone to get intimately acquainted with this world-changing magic, I am going to provide some of it for you to download onto your SFCs so you can have a listen whenever you want. For free! You don't even need to thank me or anything.

Trust me, I'm doing it all for you...

[His smile grows ever so wider, and then the camera turns off, and a link named BestPiecesofClassicalMusic.zip pops up for you to download.]

[If you do, well...prepared to have your SFC blast it on the highest volume with no way to turn it down. And it isn't stopping playing it until the whole album is over.]

[Now Vatheon can understand his pain with having to listen it for years and years on end. HIS JOB IS DONE HERE.]

[ooc: The link takes you to a Youtube video of Queen's Greatest Hits. What did you expect from Crowley, really. >>]

[Johnny can be seen leaning against the bar in his tavern, grinning like a kid on Christmas day.]

Heeelllo, everyone~ Due to recent events, Fai and I kinda went bake-crazy.

[He pans the SFC around to show the rest of the counter and a few select tables covered in almost every kind of dessert imaginable.]

There's no way we can eat this all by ourselves, nor do I think we really want to~ Any volunteers for helping us~? Feel free to just come on by and grab some for yourself, a loved one, a special occasion, whatever~ we just need it gone.

Oh! Crow~ley~! I made something special for you, so be sure to come by and get it~~




[OOC: Action is encouraged and threadjacking for anyone else who shows up in the tavern is definitely okay <3]

[This isn't a good day for Aziraphale. This really, really, isn't a good day for Aziraphale. He had just put down a book sometime early in the morning when he began feeling weird. Really weird. And his vision had gone somewhat wonky. He'd assumed it was from staring at his book too long, but an hour and a cup of tea and some relaxing later, it hadn't gone away.

The angel, feeling somewhat sick to his stomach with nerves and some other completely undesirable urges and feelings had gone to the mirror to check what was wrong.

Of course, that's when the yelling began. Lots of it. Yelling and hyperventilating and general freaking out like the angel had never done in his entire life.

After pacing his living room for a few seconds, trying to calm down from his mini freak-out and trying to decide if he was dreaming despite never having slept a moment of his existence, he turns on a video feed.

Immediately, it's apparent what was wrong. His eyes were deep red goat eyes.]

Can anybody tell me why this has happened?! Why are my eyes like this, why do I feel like I did something really, really awful?! Is this some joke?! Did I... did I do something wrong?? Oh dear God--

[He cringes in pain suddenly, hissing from speaking the name. That's when realization strikes....]

Oh, no. No, no, no, no how did this happen, how could this happen, why am I a demon?! How did I Fall?!?!

[His yelling and hyperventilating is now worse than before. Sorry neighbors.]

( Dream...or nightmare )

Ah! [Amane wakes up with a start, not looking for her Dreamberry yet. She’s conversing with Remiel. Or rather, having the angel console her. But it looks like she's lost in thought and trying not to cry.]

[Heeeey, Vatheon! Totally your favorite gay vampire showing up to greet you with a winning smile. He appears to be sitting in the low-lit area of an old-fashioned bar. Extremely old-fashioned.]

So~ A couple of things led to another and I've decided to open up this tavern with the help of a friend of mine~

I know, 'tavern' is a bit antiquated, but that's what it is~ A bar/eatery/bakery combo with medieval flair!

The menu's all modern, though, there's plenty on there to suit all kinds of tastes and I wouldn't mind hearing about some foods from your worlds you'd like to see; I'll throw them on the menu, permanently, if they're popular.

A-ny-way~ If you're interested, it's in the Lower District, aand I'll take helpers if anyone's bored and looking for something to do~!

[He starts to turn off the signal then seems to realize something and his eyes brighten.]

I almost forgot! There's a stage for anyone who'd like to perform! It's not big but it's big enough for music or small stand-up acts~ [A small wave and the feed is cut.]

//Filtered audio to Crowley//

Hey, Crow~ley~ You should come by for a drink, we have some decent ones~

[So, Vatheon, you've probably woken up to that horrendous and bloody idea of a April Fool's joke caused by nurses and have been thoroughly scarred by the event. What more awaits you on this day of tomfoolery?]

[Like Crowley knows. He's just sitting here at his desk, smiling slightly as he looks over at the SFC.]

That was quite the scare, wasn't it? Idiots. They totally got their information wrong about the holiday. It's supposed to be a holiday full of people making fun of other people, not, well, murdering them. Methinks that someone was accidentally looking at the Halloween entry when looking up information on the date.

But either way, I know many of you come from worlds where April Fool's Day doesn't exist. I know a few of you helpful people who know about it have tried to explain it, but really, most of you are missing the actual history behind it. For there is a history on why April First, of all days, is a day of making fools of one another. It stems all the way from the Roman Festival Hilaria, which was a festival of rejoicing held around March 25th or so. And there are many other events and people in history that made All Fool's Day the day it is.

[And then a shrug.] ...But honestly, I'm not the best at explaining history that much- I get a bit too long-winded on it, really. So, I have devoted my time to writing up a nice description of what the holiday is all about. Hopefully that will illuminate most of you who are beginning to believe this is the National Day of Killing or what not. [An annoyed sigh.] It's not.

[He reaches over to the SFC, and with a click and a beep and a press on the "Send to All" option, an attachment named WhatIsAprilFools.doc should be popping up on your SFC, Vatheonites.]

All the information is there for you to look at. Please enlighten yourself on this holiday, I'd hate for people to be so misinformed. After all, when there are fools, there are always people to take advantage of them...

[And then he grins and turns the SFC off before he can explain what exactly he means by that.]
