Perfectly normal reaction to evil mannequins. I didn't much care for them either.
Bunnies, moons, stars, pink. Got it.

Oh, thank goodness. They can be dangerous things...
[ Well, if he's going to be bringing some housewarming gift, she's got to give back with food, right? ]
Is there anything you and your partner would like to eat? I'll get some, so it's a fair trade, right?

[ Next to a medium-sized (quite exotic) potted plant on the front steps is a stack of boxes, all aptly labeled for the both of them. For Crowley, there is a pair of sunglasses similar in style to what he already wears, with a note underneath that says 'Just in case.' There is also a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, and a box that holds a 'vintage' mini record player, along with a hand-written note: ]
Dear Mr. Crowley,
I am not certain if you would ever think to celebrate Christmas, but I hope you accept these gifts with my affection and love. I would not be even near so well as I am without your company and your care.
I hope that you can find some proper songs to play, as I'm still uncertain as to how it works. Did Robert Ingersoll not have something to say on music?
Sincerely,
Vanessa Ives
[ The voice message starts with a bit of a ruffling sound and then a party popper on her end. Seems like she's gotten better at voice messages. ]
Hi Mr. Crowley! Merry Christmas! I hope you're having a great holiday! It's approaching the end of the year soon, so I'm also wishing you a happy new year, too! Hopefully, you've gotten a lot of presents? Wishing you all the best!
[ And it ends successfully, without any problems.
Maybe on the day of Christmas or whenever there will be a card with two boxes of chocolates addressed to Crowley since Usagi remembered from a past exchange that he lived with his partner. There may or may not be a few bunnies drawn on the front of the card. And maybe cute Santa bunny wrapping paper. ]

[Crowley sniggers to himself. Asking if he knows who the Beatles are is a bit like asking if he knows about this obscure composer called Beethoven.]
I know of them a bit, sure. The White Album is probably their definitive work, but I'm more partial to Yellow Submarine myself.
If you're looking to start getting into rock music, you could do a lot worse.

that depends wholly on the kind of dancing you're looking to do. you don't exactly waltz to the beatles, but you can definitely do the mashed potato or the watusi. maybe even the chubby checker, if you're feeling particularly rambunctious.
I am hoping for dances that require a partner. At the gala, I sampled something that I wince to call 'dancing' with Constantine, and it was nothing more than shuffling back and forth as though one had an itch in the foot.
I saw almost no one waltz, in fact.
One of the boys in the city is opting to show me how people dance in his— your time.

could just be Jo doesn't know how to dance.
i wonder what moves he'll show you? There's a lot of stuff that's 100+ years old that's still stuck around.

Rough night for you?
And, yeah. I do. You'd be amazed how often similar dance moves cycle in and out of fashion without people realizing it. Keep reinventing the wheel. Or the Watusi, to extend the metaphor.

Merely tired. I am far more rested now.
[ It was only two days after her return from torture so...not in the best state. If she was even present. ]
You've said Watsui twice, now, so I am curious.
Though, if you have seen so many dances over time, you would have a better idea than most on what sort of music or dance that beings like the Endless may favor.

[A flicker of concern, but he doesn't press the matter.]
Glad to hear it. You should be in perfect dancing condition.
And yeah, the Watusi was great. Lots of wiggling and hip-shaking. Excellent fun for the snakey-er sorts.
As for what your gentleman might like - I can't begin to guess. Doesn't mean I won't though. Try the tango.

Bet that might change in due time.
I reckon you'd be fine even using dances from your time. The 19th century isn't that long ago - at least not for ancient immortal entities. Aziraphale has barely changed his wardrobe since the 1860s.
And yeah, the tango. Classy, sexy, timeless.

If he would not dance with his wife, what chance have I? No, he is quite firm. Refusing my invitation is how we met.
He prefers to watch.
[ And it was cute then, but now she's incredibly sad about whenever there's a party, don't tell anyone.
'Sexy'? That's a new one. Easy to figure it out by now, but the thought of Morpheus doing anything like that is laughable. ]
I see, that is quite a passionate dance. A bit much should I dance with his brother.
I wonder at what songs and dances that the Fae enjoy?

he has a wife?!
[Any and all fear of Dream is promptly forgotten. At least momentarily. Crowley is absolutely livid and ready to wring an anthropomorphic personification's neck.
Probably not the best plan ever.]
that fucking cad - you're not some side bit! what the heaven is wrong with him?

Oh. Right. Good.
Well, not good that his wife is M.I.A. Condolences to him and all. But good he's not using you.
[Auncle Crowley would probably wind up doing something drastic if that were the case.]

Ridiculous. I've never been any such thing. I've probably just had too much wine or something.
Anyway, dancing! Brilliant stuff. If your gentleman likes watching, there's always pole dancing. Great work out, very spicy.
