Adam? It's Mary. I wanted to see how you were since our last conversation.

Re: ( voice )

[perfectlyhuman]

Oh, hi, Mary. [ Calm, cheerful tone. First time he's using this device, and he's pretty happy about that.]

I'm okay, thanks.

[sathan]

That's good. It would have been awful had something happened.

( considering that they'd met during some bank robbing witnessing )

I live in Nonah but you can let me know if you needed something.

[perfectlyhuman]

[ Oh, he'll be involved in a lot more strange events before anyone knows it.]

Oh, that's where I live, too. [ It's...weird, to say that. It's not home. But it's where he's staying.]

Staying in De Chima with a friend right now, though.

[Adam will find a box in his room wrapped in a rather festive French Glad motif. And inside, several items: chocolates, of course. A beret that is mysteriously far too small for Adam but the exact right size for Dog. A disturbingly well-crafted model toy guillotine (thankfully with no real blade). Hot cocoa mix. A small Eiffel Tower keychain.

And a card that reads: "For Adam, from Aziraphale & Crowley"]

[ The boy doesn’t really expect anything different by the time he gets back to the flat from walking Dog, much less a gift. Curious confusion gives way to delight as he examines his gifts, smiling when he finds the card.

He would say the guillotine is the coolest of them all. It’s going right on his dresser, with the card next to it.


Soon enough, Adam’s knocking on the door to Crowley’s and Aziraphale’s room, checking if any of them are there.]

[bookshopped]

[The door opens, and there's Aziraphale. A cheerful smile finds his face at seeing who it is.]

Ah, Adam. How are you? Did you need something?

[Did he find the present?]

[perfectlyhuman]

[ Adam smiles up at the angel.]

Hey. Yeah— [ He looks down at his feet, then behind him, searching, then towards the other doors.] Dog. Come here, boy.

[ The boy gestures and pats his leg, trying to convince Dog to come into view. And the animal does, keeping his head lowered but steady, sporting the nice, fancy, original parisian beret.

He looks very put off by it. Adam, on the other hand, smiles real bright.]

Thanks for the gifts. They’re really cool.

[Now, he could have waited to do this in person, of course, but he's thought of it now and it's the middle of the day so neither of them are likely home.

And so.]

Adam, if you have a moment there's something rather important I need to ask you.

Re: voice

[perfectlyhuman]

[ He rarely is, during the day, whether that means he's at class, at the pet shop, or somewhere else entirely. Free-range child, he is. ]

Hey, Aziraphale.

What is it?

voice

[bookshopped]

[Ah oh good. Okay. He clears his throat.]

Well, you see...

[How to begin.] Crowley and I were talking, and the subject of marriage and weddings came up. And we decided that we'd like to give it a try. The, ah, wedding thing, that is.

Now, there's no particular date or plans yet, however, I am told the way these things work, one typically requires a best man. And while I realize that may typically be someone over the age of majority, I still can't imagine anyone better suited for it than you would be. If you'd be willing, of course.

Re: voice

[perfectlyhuman]

[ He takes a moment to answer, not because he has any particular objections, but because he really didn't expect that to be the topic of conversation. ]

You mean you're getting married? [ He didn't know angels and demons could get married. Though he'd also begun to think they already were, as they easily reminded him of his own mum and dad. ]

What does a best man do?

Is he a:

A. Dexter
B. Orion
C. Chance
D. None of the above.

If you pick D, you gotta give me a suggestion. I'm terrible at this. Help me out, buddy.

Re: text;

[perfectlyhuman]

You got a dog? He looks really small.

I think he's a Brock. That's a strong name.

[duelo]

I did, yeah. He's really little right now, but when he gets older, he'll be a big guy.

Thanks for the vote, bud.

Text | Gabriel's ID

[It's Gabriel, but the picture attached is Allison.]

Adam, I need you to do me a favor.

Re: Text | Gabriel's ID

[perfectlyhuman]

[ Well.

That's something. ]

What is it?

[privatepurchases]

Bring Violet to the Hargreeves house. The Jackalope. I named him.

I'm-

I need him.

[ They'd done a better job of staying in touch before the end of the world — isn't that how it always goes? — but the schedule had fallen apart a bit after that. Her friend and colleague accidentally summoning ghosts all over town, three goddesses almost devouring the whole world, giant robotic spiders... besides, Anathema lived in Jeopardy, so there was damage to clean up. An occult shop to get back in order. Then, getting things lined up for the winter gala. Apart from ascertaining that they were both alive and well, they hadn't had much time for catching up properly.

Today, though, Anathema intends on fixing that, and so calls Adam up while she's working on dinner. ]

Hey, kid. It's Anathema. How are you doing?

Re: voice

[perfectlyhuman]

[ It's been an odd couple of months, and he doesn't know if his time here is more or less odd than the week following his birthday. Mostly, it's hard to separate one thing from the other, although he knows they aren't really related.

Despite everything, and his own nature, he's actually been keeping fairly on the down low. Aziraphale and Crowley wanted nothing to do with the three goddesses and the supposed end of the world, so they and Adam had kept to their home through the whole thing. There's only so many near-apocalypses you can deal with within half a year.

Sat in his room and reading his books, the boy smiles when he notices the ID flash up, dropping everything else immediately. ]

Hey, Anathema.

I'm alright. Reading some stuff I got.

[anathemic]

Ooh. What do you have? Tell me all about it— it'll keep me busy while I'm cooking.

[ Asked as simply and easily as if this were a regular check-in, and not in a world where you might have to deal with everyday zombies or evil cultists. Anathema tucks the communicator against her ear while she chops vegetables. A perennial multi-tasker, always keeping herself busy, because why waste time when you could do several things at once??

Also, she assumes he'd probably say something sooner if something's actually wrong on his end. ]

Delivery | December 25

[rebelarrow]

[Christmas isn't a holiday that Judd naturally celebrates, but over the last few years he's become a regular gift-giver. Which is why Judd's sent Adam via the post two wrapped gifts (both clearly not wrapped by him). The first is a thick visual dictionary on cryptids. The second is a stocking full of dog toys for Dog.

They are accompanied by a short note which reads "Merry Christmas - Judd".]

Re: Delivery | December 25

[perfectlyhuman]

[ Adam is a little surprised to find something in the mail for him, mostly because, with the porters making the world so much smaller, he tends to see most people he’s friendly with in person.

When he opens the box, he's immediately delighted. The toys, of course, are given to Dog right away, who ends up having to defend them from a particularly nosy jackalope. The book is immediately cracked open, and will make a fine addition to Adam’s collection.

He takes a moment to message Judd.]

Thank you for the gifts. Dog and I really like them

[rebelarrow]

You're welcome.

I wasn't sure if you had family, surrogate or otherwise, here.

No child should go without a Christmas.
