Character: Aziraphale Ezra Fell
Mun: Katie/rosenritter
Plot specific: N~


Recently, I popped in* for a quick visit to my shop in Soho to see how things were going. The young man I hired to look after the place while I attend to my duties here hadn't once turned the sign from "CLOSED" to "OPEN", exactly as I requested. It's so very refreshing when youths of today prove themselves capable of following such simple directions.

While I was in the area, I overheard a small group of young Muggles discussing something they called "the dubstep". I presume it's a dance of some sort, but if anyone knows any further details, I would be most obliged to hear about it. If it's at all like the gavotte, I would be quite interested in learning it.

* - quite literally, a little spot of Apparition humour there

Yeah, not an object for me, either. But I don't hire people to do nothing all day. Then put them in storage where muggles in Soho can't get at them?

[There's a few tiny ink blots from a quill tapping impatiently against the page, their existence almost assuredly accompanied by an immensely exasperated sigh.]

Clearly you are unfamiliar with the proper care and handling of some of the more volatile sorts of magical books. Many of them are rather set in their ways and moving them can be most inadvisable.

[arrogantalloy]

Well, I don't spend all that time fondling grumpy literature. You're a wizard, I'm sure you can out magic a book.

[angelfruitcake]

I realize you are being sarcastic, but still, one should not fondle such books. Do keep in mind that many of these volumes are old if not outright ancient, and though I certainly can - as you say - "out-magic" them, doing so may damage them.

Surely you can see the dilemma.

[arrogantalloy]

You got them into the store, didn't you? So you should be able to get them into storage.

Not much of a dilemma.

[angelfruitcake]

Yes, and I still have papercuts in the shape of teeth marks on my left forearm from the last time. It's not happening again, full stop.

[arrogantalloy]

Isn't the challenge half the fun?
