Name: Aziraphale
Date: 24/11
Format: video
[The last time Aziraphale made his own post, it was rehearsed. Prepared. He had a plan. He still looked like the neurotic, anxious mess he tends to be but he'd managed to keep most of his nerves at bay. This time, though? This time there's no preparation, no plan, no mission.
This time you just get a fairly frustrated (and slightly angry) angel making a post.]
If you are, perhaps, given a book by mistake, a book that doesn't belong to you-
[Breathe in, breathe out...]
Could you, perhaps, let me know? Apparently some of the books in my bookshop were sent through the mirror, but have ended up scattered around and they were- they are quite delicate. I'd appreciate if they didn't get damaged, they are...
Very important to me.
[Taking care of his bookshop is the closest he's ever felt to having a 'home'.]
Thank you very much.
[OOC: Feel free to assume your character found a book! Aziraphale specialized in first editions, so those are the most likely.]

[He repeats happily, as if now that he actually knows the feeling the word is suddenly full of meaning, magic and wonder. Aziraphale is a calm, quiet kind of person who’s surprisingly introverted for all that he loves humanity. But he also loves any kind of festivities, any excuse for people to be merry and have fun (especially if it has food) has his approval.]
Oh, that sounds wonderful. Perhaps you could tell me more about it- or write, as a test? I’ve got my work cut out for me if I want to fill all the shelves with books, so the more people want to write the better.
And between you and me, I absolutely adore winter festivities. They are all always so full of… warmth!
no subject
[Which. Thinking of it will probably just make him feel more homesick this year, but... That's just the nature of the beast.
He laughs.] I'd be happy to write some books for your collection. I could probably fill one with just the traditions we have that other people would think are strange.
no subject
[The excitement is never leaving his voice, apparently. He adores learning about new things, new cultures, new people- and he adores reading, so this is pretty much heaven, as far as he's concerned.]
But remember, only if you've got the time for it. No pressure in the slightest. Is your forge getting regular work, nowadays?
no subject
I mean, if you- if you can call it work. I don't, it's not really a business? I don't sell anything. [What is capitalism. He only sort of grasps the concept of caring so much about wealth. More important on Berk is the well-being of the whole village, having enough food to last through winter, having enough medicine to take care of their sick. Smithing was always just to arm the villagers, so they can defend the island and each other.] But I always have something going on! I enjoy having projects. It's- it's really no big deal to jot some things down, though. I've got a spell that will write down whatever I'm saying, so I can do it while I'm working.
no subject
[Aziraphale was there, literally, when they invented money. He’s still pretty sure that came from down there- or maybe only humans themselves could have come up with something so complicated when trade was working just fine for them. Either way: he gets you, Hiccup, he understands where you’re coming from.]
I appreciate the sword you made me very much, even though I’m not really a fighter. I should have told you this earlier, but I was a diplomat in Dorchacht and it helped me many times over to bring light, when I needed it.
no subject
He looks up, smiling warmly.] I'm glad. They- they really needed some light. I was there too, all month. I know Inferno came in handy a few times. [All of his things did, actually, down to his prosthetic leg when he needed to distract some guards in a rowdy crowd.] That makes it worth it. That's why I don't care about money. I just want to help.
