[Crowley tends to avoid most Earth holidays. Once you've lived through the first hundred or so of them, they tend to get rather repetitive. But April Fools is one he's always enjoyed. Of course, in most of the time he's been in Paradisa, April Fools was haunted by horrible, screeching singing, and as such, Crowley had remained in his room for a while, listening.

With the complete lack of people singing their feelings out, Crowley decided the castle had finally, at least, given its musical of death a rest, and headed out to do what any self respecting demon would do on a holiday such as this: make other's lives miserable.

And so, he has wandered around the castle, leaving little pranks here and there. Such as air horns on doors and leaving chocolate-coated onions in the kitchen.. The one he sticks around to watch, however, is his old favourite. The entire lobby floor is now waxed to an inch of its life, making it nothing but a promise of amusing arm flailing and possibly broken limbs.

Crowley himself sits at his favourite spot in the lobby, with a glass of wine, happily watching proceedings, his journal open to catch any fallout from his other pranks.]

This is much better than singing, I'm sure you'll all agree.

[Pitch is lurking in the shadows nearby.]

Having fun?

forever!!!

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley continues to sip his wine placidly, not bothering to look around for Pitch.]

I am, actually. This might be a marginally entertaining day.

[fearbringer]

I am glad that it isn't singing.

[thebestseller]

THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER.

[Dictated]

[the_effect_she_has]

... I hate all of you. All of you, so much.

Also, chocolate onions are disgusting.

[A pause.]

... but I ate it anyways. You shouldn't waste food.

[onlyanapple]

That's been a favourite for this place for years. I thought it'd never let up.

[onlyanapple]

My, sounds like drinks are in order, then.

forever!!!

[onlyanapple]

And what lesson have we learned about eating food left out in the castle kitchens?

[fearbringer]

And this is the first year it has? How lucky.

[onlyanapple]

It is for the five years I've been here.

[fearbringer]

I wonder why the castle broke pattern.

[onlyanapple]

It could have done it just to fuck with us.

[fearbringer]

Wouldn't it be doing that no matter what it does?

[onlyanapple]

It would, but this is the lulling us into a false sense of security game it occasionally enjoys. It usually does it before something terrible happens.

[fearbringer]

Terrible like the sleepwalking.

[onlyanapple]

[That gets a laugh.]

That's nothing compared to what the castle can do. Try having it lock us in the castle, have a group of residents go nuts and start killing people, while he rest are hunted by alien zombies.

[fearbringer]

And this happens often?

[onlyanapple]

Nah, it usually saves things that sort of terrible for when its especially bitchy.

[fearbringer]

And how often is that?

[onlyanapple]

How do you judge the temperament of anything? It could be a good six months between things like that, or it could be a matter of weeks. There's no telling.

Re: forever!!!

[the_effect_she_has]

....that people will waste food because they think it's funny?

[onlyanapple]

I- no. That you can't trust magical castle food.

[fearbringer]

I was more asking how often the terrible things happen, but you've answered my question regardless.

Has it even spoken to anyone, that you're aware of?

[thebestseller]

And pranking, apparently.

[onlyanapple]

Well, of course. That's a given.
