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.

"I can self degradate really damn well without needing to know the real reason. Everyone else does a more than satisfactory job degrading me without knowing why the gods hate me too. Personally I think they find pleasuring in coming up with every minsid reason they can think of. Who am I to ruin their fun?"

He's come a long way toward accepting other beings are assholes, but he hasn't yet truly accepted that he doesn't deserve the utter hatred and contempt.

"I seriously doubt you hold the crown on that trait."

He's a pretty high runner in that medal race, and he knows a lot of the other competitors.

"Yeah, already have the t-shirt that says that, and I'm not going to deny it's true. I've also found that all of us assholes tend to be magnetically attracted to each other for whatever damn reason. Probably because no other friend would tolerate us except for one of us."

That's the case with his friends at least.

"A great deal of help? Minsid hell, I guess I'll have to try harder next time. Nobody would ever mistake me for a great deal of help."

Well, not overtly at least. He tends to offer his help under the radar where nobody knows he's doing it. Direct helpfulness is not in his nature.

"Of course there was bullshit. This whole damn place is bullshit. I'm just one of the few damn beings here who realizes that."

Most others were just optimistic idiots who were going to have their guts torn out in spectacular fashion when the truth finally revealed itself.

Jules doesn't argue anything Crowley says, he he doesn't believe of word of it either. If Crowley is paying enough attention he can probably hear Jules muttering to himself as he walks away.

"Minsid hell, "I owe you one?" This place must be more screwed up than I thought if it can alter reality that much."

Nobody ever owes him one. He's the one who will be constantly paying back debts to karma.
