Just after Tonks herself arrives in the bar,
Crowley shows up, looking decidedly shifty with a sack of something, blue eyes, and
white wings. Tonks and
Kassandra, as well as
George, are all understandably kerflummoxed. Tonks
inquires as to why Crowley's playing dress-up, and Crowley continues to be
shifty. Finally Tonks
hits the nail on the head, and Crowley
slips. Crowley
doesn't want Tonks to help, at which point Tonks and 'Skandra both roll their eyes. Tonks is
worried, and so is
Crowley, but fortunately he's got friends in woodland places;
Glorfindel arrives with the coat of mithril Crowley had asked for the night before, and wants to help Crowley in the fight, but Crowley, true to form,
won't let him. Tonks is
impressed with the mithril, and she and Crowley talk
smithing.Meanwhile,
Sariel shows up again, much to the everlasting
joy and
rapture of Crowley and Tonks. Unphased, Sariel
offers to help, but Crowley is
not exactly interested. Tonks, who is lately far too snarky for her own good, also tells Sariel where she can
get off, which results in a
mute Tonks and a pissed-off
Crowley and
'Skandra. Sariel removes the spell, but continues to
poke Crowley about his plans, much to his annoyance. Meanwhile, 'Skandra goes all
CIA and
stabbinates. Crowley
dismisses Sariel, who leaves, still insisting that she wants to help. Crowley remains
unreceptive.To wrap up the thread, Crowley
ponders the idiocy of his mortal pals, who again
tell him what's what. Crowley and Tonks get
wibbly before discussing Crowley's collection, or lack thereof, of torture equipment, whilst Tonks and 'Skandra privately figure they've got Crowley
pegged. At this point,
everyone says goodnight, and the players are
fangirled/fanboyed, which is very nice, indeed. :)
Also, I have to point out that
Barbie stopped by for a brief moment somewhere in there, which cracked me up. Hee.
PSA: Not sure when I'll be in tonight, as I have to go to a department mixer for grad students and faculty, and get midly hit-upon by middle-aged professors. So. Here's hoping nothing overly plotty happens until I get in. *crosses fingers; makes puppy-eyes*
