[Crowley flips on the camera before sitting back in an office chair in his usual slouch. Behind him is the backdrop of one of the labyrinthine office buildings, the shades of beige and grey a sharp contrast to his black clothes and red hair. There is a peculiar tension about him, something about the way he's square his shoulders, and the considerable supply of unopened bottles next to him suggests there is some need for the liquid courage.]
Right then. The mall here, yeah? Only marginally worse than the normal kind. And hey, at least we'll never have to deal with the Boxing Day rush, eh?
...That'd be analogous to Black Friday for all you Americans. I don't know if there's a Canadian equivalent. Never stuck around long enough to find out. Saw a moose once and decided that place could just be someone else's problem.
[He shuffles uncomfortably.]
Okay. Yeah. Enough small talk. Time to rip the bandaid off.
[Deep breaths, Crowley.]
So the thing I was worried about happening? ...Happened. For the exact reason and in the exact way I thought it would happen. I'm sure I'll look back and laugh about it one day, but right now I'd like to get ahead of it happening again. No more fun little surprise exorcisms. At least none that I won't see coming.
So, here we go. Let's get this over with.
I'm a literal demon from literal Hell - yes that one - and their former operative of Earth, presently retired.
Ask me anything.

Huh. I never really understood pranks, but I also didn't really grow up in a place where they happened. They were just things in movies and shows and stuff. Mixed bag sounds about right though.
..Yeah, I guess they were. The sources are different, but the end result is the same, yeah. Mostly it was basic elemental things that I saw, but there was also some healing types and supposedly 'persuasive' types, among others? And a lot of them could make wings, which I guess goes with the theme.

Wings are definitely a big part of it. But I suppose sufficiently powered humans could manifest them if they really wanted. Dunno why they would, got all sorts of perfectly good machines for flying already, but they could do it. The molting though - right pain in the neck.
