let's play a game where we don't touch the angel [open to multiple]

[Aziraphale, Book!Melanie, and Poetry!Spike are gonna be hanging out in his bookshop all day, so feel free to pop by! Melanie can see and hear you, and will communicate with you if you look at her pages. Spike is only able to speak in verse. And if you touch Aziraphale, you will be turned into a book. The choice is yours.]

Aziraphale sets Melanie down gingerly on the front counter, keeping her close. He looks around nervously. He can't touch anything. Can't have tea, can't have any of Sunshine's wonderful baked goods, can't read books. He's going to have to just stand here stoic and keep watch over his book girl.

He picks her up again and holds her around. "Here we are," he says, feeling rather foolish. Spike is due in at any moment, he hopes the vampire doesn't walk in now, as he's showing a book the bookstore. That would look very silly. He sets her back down and opens her up to a blank page. "I'll make sure no one tries to buy you. I'm very good at that. Don't worry."

This is going to be a long day.


[Reply to the post to interact with Aziraphale and/or Melanie, and to Spike's top level to interact with Spike. Time is complicated but it's gonna be okay we'll get through this.]

Rashad's page is blank for a moment. He is reluctant to clarify his reason for seeking help to return to normal rather than waiting it out attached to his door, but he finally displays a single word.

Dangerous.

Then, as an afterthought, he adds an equally pressing complaint:

Inconvenient.

"Yes, well." Aziraphale sighs and bends down to tip the cover shut. "I'm afraid we shall both have to forbear. I must shut you up now, lest some trip over you and tear your pages out. I shall check on you periodically."

Rather darkly satisfied by this turn of events, he returns to his desk.
