Dear Sora,
No, not really. I'm used to moving around a lot, traveling for work. I used to be gone for months or years at a time.

I had been hoping we'd be able to narrow down the rather broad location of wherever this is meant to be, but there's few local guides.

And a lot of people believe this is all set up only to appear like Earth, for our comfort.

that’s kinda creepy
if we’re on a new world i think i’d want to know what it actually looks like even if it’s bizarre

what did you do back where you’re from?

[lunchbreaks]

Dear Sora,
Yes, I am hoping that if this isn't what the world looks like, that we can find out what it does look like soon.

And I was a book handler! Do you like books?
-Aziraphale

[arsarcanum]

[ A book... handler? ]

not really
but now that i'm here i'm starting to think that i'm gonna have to look at these after all
although i think i need more than a book handler... more like a book tamer?

[lunchbreaks]

Dear Sora,
No no, dear boy. I sell books, but I also repair them, collect them, and appraise them!

I was also an antiquarian!
-Aziraphale

[arsarcanum]

oh

wait
what's that
do you own fish

[lunchbreaks]

Dear Sora,
No, no fish I'm afraid. Just very old things. Mostly, I try not to sell those, just keep them in good condition! I think it's very important to preserve things from the past.

Were you a student?
-Aziraphale

[arsarcanum]

[ Oh, so like, a museum curator? Sora does not know the term "museum curator" but that's definitely the idea he has. (None of these are sounding like very magiciany sorts of endeavors. Didn't the soldier say Aziraphale was magic?) ]

that sounds really important
you must have been good at it

i graduated high school a couple of years ago
after that i didn't want to go to college so

[ So his mom kicked him out! lol! ]

my friend got me an internship at the police department he worked at but i don't feel like i did anything there
i was trying to save the world before i got here? is that a job? i guess that's my job

[lunchbreaks]

Dear Sora,
Ah! Well that's a noble profession. You will be needed here, apparently this world needs saving. What sort of things did you do?
-Aziraphale.

[arsarcanum]

well uh i was good at fighting things
that's sort of it

what do you do here?

[lunchbreaks]

I've still been deciding, actually. There's been a lot of building!

We will need more help fighting though, so that's a useful skill!

-Aziraphale.

[arsarcanum]

oh yeah the soldier told me about a couple of months ago
that's right up my alley :)

speaking of i think the soldier mentioned you once? were you the aziraphale they were talking about?

[lunchbreaks]

My goodness, is that the first thing they tell everyone?

Yes, I'm quite afraid I am the only Aziraphale I have ever known.
-Aziraphale.

[arsarcanum]

lol nah
the first thing they told me was that i looked too skinny to carry some boxes
it got me in my feelings but it was funny

nah they were talking about you being magic? you and a guy named crow lee?
with the way they were talking about it i thought you two were wizards or something

[lunchbreaks]

Dear Sora,
Oh. Well, you shall just have to prove them wrong.

And yes -- Crowley and I both have magic, but we aren't wizards. He doesn't like talking about it, actually.

[ Since he thinks that people might judge him for being a demon. ]

Is there a bed at the library?

-Aziraphale.

[arsarcanum]

that's the plan :)

if i ever meet crowley i won't bring it up
the soldier talked about him a lot tho
he sounds rude but nice

[ Magic, but not wizards. Hm. Hm. Well, Sora can't think hard enough to solve this mystery! Not at the moment, anyway. ]

yeah
well no
a guy named maes gave me a cot on my first day here
said i could keep it
it's not bad
i'll be fine

[lunchbreaks]

Dear Sora,
Alright, if you say so. But don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

He is rather brusque, but I assure you that he does mean well. If you would like, you could come over for dinner. Both the Soldier and Crowley should be around.
-Aziraphale.

[arsarcanum]

will do!

can i? [ Sora's already had a bit of the soldier's cooking, so he's looking forward to more! ]
that sounds awesome
i'd be happy to come!
i kinda want to get set up in the library first but that shouldn't take long
let me know when you guys are all free and i'll come over!!!

[lunchbreaks]

Dearest Sora,
Yes of course! I will gather them at once.
-Aziraphale.

[arsarcanum]

thanks a bunch aziraphale :)
