Hello. This is the Principality Aziraphale. ▶

Plants of course! [He grins and plops down at the table. He doesn't care much about reading the books, but he does like to use the watercolors.]

[lunchbreaks]

Why couldn't they just... publish more books?

[scaredofdogs]

Maybe there are more books somewhere but they just brought these out because they are getting ready to take us somewhere. There is still a chance a full library could be in the hotel if they have this many books about plants.

[lunchbreaks]

A full library... Oh I hope so. It's been dreadfully boring, nothing to read!

[scaredofdogs]

Now you have books about plants! That's not nothing.

[lunchbreaks]

Well. No. They are. Books I suppose.

[ But he looks very disappointed about this. ]

[scaredofdogs]

You have paper, you could always write a book. And then at least other people would have something to read.

[lunchbreaks]

Oh. Yes! I have many stories memorized. I should transcribe some for others to read. I'll translate some, so you can read them!

[scaredofdogs]

I'll look forward to it!

[He already knows that Aziraphale is good for stories.]

[lunchbreaks]

What sort of tales do you like?

[scaredofdogs]

Most of the stories I hear are about night hunts and ghosts and corpses and fighting. So honestly..any sort of tale you want to write for me I'll be able to enjoy.

[lunchbreaks]

C-corpses?

[ Ghosts he remembers, night hunts he can guess, fighting yes of course. ]

[scaredofdogs]

Ah..yeah..I've had to deal with quite a few of those. Never make for very good stories. You shouldn't worry about that.

[Most of the stories involve Wen Ning when it comes to strong corpses and that is a story too long to explain.]

[lunchbreaks]

But now I'm curious. Why are there corpses?

[ He missed the part where they're reanimated. ]

[scaredofdogs]

Well, where we are from corpses can come alive and attack people. It's our job to stop them.

[Or control them..depending on skill set..]

[lunchbreaks]

What? That seems like the opposite of what corpses are supposed to do!

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..well I guess that depends on where you are from. It's pretty normal for me.

[lunchbreaks]

But how do you kill them so they... don't return?

--Ah, is that your... demonic cultivation?

[scaredofdogs]

Well..that is more using them to fight..which if they fight each other then yes, in a way that could kill them. But basically they are driven by resentful energy so the key is to try and rid them of that, try to get the soul to move on from unfinished business..there are a couple ways to make the dead stay dead.

[lunchbreaks]

Well, if they show up, we'll need you to help dispatch them!

[ Because he doesn't know what to do with this information... ]

[scaredofdogs]

It would be easier with my abilities..but..maybe in time I will get them back.

[lunchbreaks]

Yes... I do hope so. Perhaps they are just giving tea to whomever on accident.

[scaredofdogs]

It does seem to be random. I've gotten several people's abilities. I think the next time..I might try to find their owner, especially if I'm not sure what it does. They would benefit from it more then I would.

[lunchbreaks]

That would be quite splendid!

Very thoughtful. I'll keep that in mind...

[ He will, and then he'll drink Demonic Cultivation anyway. ]
