WHO: Aziraphale and John Crichton
WHAT: Exploring the town a bit more
WHERE: Around Town
WHEN: Today

Starklandia was a strangely quaint sort of place, just as Crowley had said it was. And with no manner of escape seemed to be working, and Aziraphale had tried again and again - despite their attempts on the night of their arrival. Perhaps it had been due to the time of day, or the location, so he'd been exploring a little, finding the edges of the town much closer than was comfortable in every direction.

And despite getting a better idea of what there was, and more specifically what there wasn't, Aziraphale had not found the exit he'd hoped for. It was shaping up to be a real tragedy, the kind they'd write about in the Bible truth be told. He had so loved the Apostles, they'd all been rather charming, even if their words had been twisted and changed in the years since they'd walked the earth. He could just picture Luke's outrage at finding himself in a place like this though.

He considered trying to contact heaven. Not even certain that he would receive an answer, and even less certain that he'd like the one he got - but he wasn't quite that desperate yet. So instead he was poking around again.

Though nothing seemed to have changed since his last turn around the town. Except.

"Hello, to you good fellow." Aziraphale raised a hand in greeting a smile on his face. It never hurt to try and make friends. Or at least some manner of contact. He wasn't certain things had gone all that well when he'd attempted the same at the dance days earlier. But there were less distractions here now than there had been that night.

Crichton had one helluva headache the day after the party. So bad, that he'd stayed in bed a couple of days after to try to clear it, surviving off whatever snack foods he'd stored away and just sleeping it off. Ugh.

But now his 'supplies' were low and he knew he needed to get out and do something. Yeah, the sun hurt his eyes, and yeah, he was still getting used to what to do around here, but he figured he'd at least pay Tony a visit. See if he found anything new. Or at least had a new toy to tinker with.

Making his way across town, he wasn't that surprised to see a man dressed in way too much white greeting him. Probably someone talked to or danced with at the party who he didn't remember. So he plastered a smile on his face and would just do what he usually did- just play along.

"Uh, hey!" John raised his hand. "How ya doin', uh...?" Yup, no idea who he was. Great.

"Azira-phale" He said introducing himself in the same way he had to Tony Stark, allowing a small pause when he said his name so it sounded like two.

Things had been quiet in the town since they'd arrived, as if they were all recovering from the festivities that had welcomed them to this strange place. And he wondered just how often they held celebrations like that, surely not often if it incapacitated them all for quite this long. But it was a new day and there were people about so Aziraphale was gathering information once more.

"I'm quite well, thank you. And how are you on this fine day?" He asked. Small talk was one thing he'd gotten very good at in his time on earth, and was happy to employ those skills now as he spoke with this new person.

"I do not think we've had the chance to meet yet, I'm rather new." He explained, "I'm still searching for some answers about all of this." He told him. "I wonder if I could trouble you for a bit of your time in that quest."
