[Aziraphale has practiced... A Lot before actually making this post, so the camera is only a little bit shaky instead of the complete and messy failure that would be expected of him. It's not that he can't learn how to use new technologies! He just would rather not have to when older technologies suit him just fine.
Apparently, he's realized there really isn't another way to go in this place. Considering he has a small collection of discarded gifted smartphones that he's never used back home, that is no small feat.]
So, I've been- that is to say-
[...Once an awkward angel, always an awkward angel. But also a fairly determined, stubborn one, so:]
I've been thinking I'd like to open a bookshop in this place. I had one back home, you see, curated the books for centuries- but I can't just sit around and mope about it, can I? So I figured I could start my own collection here.
[If it sounds like he's talking about a private collection instead of what's supposed to be a bookshop it's because he kind of is.]
But then I thought- or rather, it was suggested to me- that perhaps some sort of library where people could happily peruse the books would be better. And then I started thinking about things people could do while they read the books, and I figured- who doesn't enjoy a cup of tea and a nice pastry?
[A bright smile! And the little wiggle of happiness that Aziraphale always does when he's talking about his favorite foods.]
But even though I can make a nice cup of tea, thanks to years of practice... I'm no baker! And I'm a bit messy in the kitchen, so that's out of the question. So I was wondering if anyone would like to collaborate in this endeavor? Perhaps you've got some books you've got no use for anymore, or experience shelving them, or know how to bake?
Any help would be welcome, really. [He's not used to taking such big risks without miracles to back him up.]

An important role for sure. But I'm afraid I'm going to need someone to actually give you things to taste first, don't you think?
no subject
[He puffs out his chest and nods very seriously, to further indicate the eminent professionalism behind this offer.
...and marginally more seriously:]
If you need help with errands or anything, I can do that, too! I know a bunch of the shops around the city by now.
no subject
[He raises his eyebrows in a surprise.] That could actually be really helpful, especially if I manage to set up a proper tea shop since I'm going to need all the ingredients. I will probably not have the time to do that and try to get books for the library at the same time.
Would you be willing to help out with that?
no subject
I bet I could find everything you needed, if you gave me a list! Even if it's a bunch, I can get friends to help carry back everything we can't get delivered.
[He chirrups, bright-eyed. It sounds like a fun distraction compared to the recent weirdness around the city!]
...But I dunno if the tea here's like back home, so you'd prob'ly have to pick that out.
no subject
[There's nothing better than a nice cup of tea or hot cocoa as you read a book, if you ask Aziraphale.]
But I won't be able to pick the teas without my official taste-tester, will I? That would be most rude of me. So if you want you could help me decide which ones would work better with the pastries?
