Drabble therapy!

Obrigada to everyone who offered condolences and commiserations over yesterday's unfortunate World Cup turns.

Here, have a Good Omens drabble. x-posted to go100


Mislaid Plans
Words: 100

Summary: Some human passions can easily override the outmoded communications systems of Heaven and Hell.




“Bugger,” Aziraphale said, looking at the parchment. “I was supposed to do something about that match. What a pity they couldn’t get in touch with me yesterday.”

“Why couldn’t they?” said a suspiciously suntanned Crowley.

“Too much prayer interference over London,” Aziraphale said, wincing. Like the rest of the city, he was a little hungover, and not in a good way.

“Oh! Oh yes,” Crowley. “I missed a manipulation memo from my side as well. Same reason, it must be. Too much cursing interference.”

“Were you here?”

“No, I was checking on that ‘Girl From Ipanema’ Muzak project in Rio.”



Not sure if that makes it better or worse, really.

huhu, nice!

I'm brazilian, a live in São Paulo, but I know Bahia (not Salvador in fact, but a city next to it)... do you speak portuguese? ^^

[dana-norram.livejournal.com]

sorry, I live in São Paulo. xD

I've been in the airport at SP a few times...Sadly, I don't speak Portuguese, although when I've been there I've picked it up some, only to lose it again. I can read a little bit...but I find the pronunciation really difficult. It's a beautiful language when anyone else is speaking it. :)

Ohhh.. so pity. T_T Sometimes I wanted post a comment in the your LJ (in general about Good Omens, of course =p) and I cannot found for the words that I want... my english not good yet...

Well, so nice that you have a brazilian mother, btw. ^_^

Aw, you could always go ahead and do that - I can whip out my trusty dictionary, after all! (Seriously, that's how I taught myself words and things last time I was there - with a dictionary and some Portuguese editions of books I knew really well, like LOTR and the HP series!) I don't mind the effort one bit.

realy? oh, thanks! this will be more easy, i hope so... ^^

you like harry potter, btw? o.o

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Sure, go ahead. If there's something I really have trouble figuring out, I can always ask.

I do, yup. :)

[dana-norram.livejournal.com]

really, you can ask, xD

Well. I'll try to write in english, good for you, good for me. ;-)

So nice! What your favorite character?

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Whatever works for you - if you can't find an English word, try the Portuguese one. :)

Aw geez, so many. I like Snape, McGonagall, Remus, Luna, Hermione, Neville...

[dana-norram.livejournal.com]

Well, I read english better than I write...

My favorite character is Remus. ^^ but I like also the Twins, Draco, Snape, McGonagall, Kingsley (do you remember? the auror...), Narcissa, Ron...

And... in Good Omens, who you prefer? Crowley or Zira? ^^

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I love Kingsley too. And Mad-Eye. Much love for the Aurors with interesting backstories.

That's an impossible question to answer in the "favorites" sense, but I'm going to say that I think Crowley is slightly more likable but I probably relate more to Aziraphale. :)

[dana-norram.livejournal.com]

sorry for don't answer to you yesterday... i neeeded sleep. ^^'

Aurors are cool, I think, although I don't like Tonks very much... in the Halfblood Prince she's very apathetic.

I understand. I loved both, but Aziraphale makes me smile a bit more. xD
