Storytellers Temple

It wasn't long after his and Aziraphale's arrival that they decided to split up and investigate this new world separately. While neither of them seemed too keen on being separated, they agreed it would make for a quicker search of things. Crowley headed north immediately, seeking anything that looked like a structure that may be inhabited by people.

The building was very obviously built as a temple. A place to pay proper respects to someone or something. He had no reason to tred on holy ground for many years, but the sight of the stuffed rabbit out front drew him in, and he was surprised to find the ground not white-hot on the bottom of his feet. Something about this rabbit drew forth memories of a dream he was sure he had. At least, he thought it was a dream. His memory did seem a bit fuzzy.

"Curiouser and curiouser..." he muttered, squatting in front of the rabbit and staring down his nose at it over his sunglasses. Crowley wasn't one for books, but once he'd seen a made-for-TV adaptation of Alice in Wonderland and felt like Alice herself following the rabbit down its hole.

Monkey Compound

By no means was it Mayfair, but these seemed to be residences. Let's be honest, it wasn't posh or upscale, but it was the only thing he'd come across since the temple that looked inhabitable. Crowley was particularly taken by the garden. His little plantcare hobby may be of some use on a deserted island yet, depending on how stubborn the greenery is in this world. Perhaps all they need is for someone like Crowley to knock them down a peg or two, show them what's what.

He's encircling the garden when he notices a particularly well-growing plant. Proud little thing, he looks it up and down and scoffs. "Don't be so cocky..." he hisses as if it can hear him, not realizing anyone might be listening to him.

Denny

Finally, something normal, or at least as close to normal as one might find on a strange island. Come to think of it, finding a bar/restaurant isn't very normal at all given the situation. Crowley won't complain, of course, and take comfort in the small things.

He takes a seat on an open bench, waiting patiently for a server to reach him. "A glass of whatevers drinkable." he requests, open to recommendations. He's surprised to notice that he feels tired after a day of searching. He's never really felt tired before, at least, not like this. He tries to shake it off, must be in his head.

The magitech third eye set in Yukio's forward swivels to focus a little more sharply on the stranger, but Yukio's expression and his tone stays friendly.

"Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to return to the universes we came from."

"No, unfortunately, if the news you're looking for is news about how to get home. We're all trapped here for now."
reflash: (kick an orphan)

"If you want shopping tips, you'll have to leave my garden alone first." Look he gets the humor, he's just not going for it.

"It's somewhat necessary here." Food, of course, and... "I'm one of the medics here, I specialize in herbal medicines. What sort of plants are you familiar with?"
reflash: (when that seasonal depression hit)

"What methods?"
reflash: (all cram school teachers are either)

"We aren't exactly in London anymore, and we can use all the help we can get with the gardens."

"If your methods are as useful as you say they are, everyone here is going to need to use them."

"You must be new. I don't have anything to offer, but I'm surprised no one else has given you a house yet."

"I don't know much about housing availability on other parts of the island, but if you go to the Denny and ask, I'm sure someone would be able to assist you." Yukio explains, with a polite smile.

"It's easier for everyone here to work together than to spend time competing."

"You might find it an easier way of living than what you're used to."
