[OPEN]
Who: Aziraphale and [OPEN]
Where: Wandering, specifically checking out the temples
When: ~August 5th, and the days following
What: The Angel is new on campus and he's got to get the lay of the land, what the gods are, where you can feed ducks, check out the library...and most importantly: find out where the food is.
Warnings: I will avoid giving Good Omens spoilers. Feel free to tell me Y/N on spoilers on the intro post, but by default, if you notice him dancing away from a certain topic despite being pressed about it? It's probably delving into spoiler territory.
Campus
Aziraphale had been wandering around the campus and city for the better part of...well, he lost track of time. And that wasn't the only thing he had lost. He himself was incredibly lost. On top of that, he had absolutely not been able to locate his new residence "Living Quarters Suite 404," despite his best efforts and a few well-meaning inquiries. (They LAUGHED at him! Sadly, he was not aware of the joke! How rude!) All he had established was that it was not in the House Towers.
His House, according to his acceptance memo, indicated he belonged to a group called Ka, which resulted in his assigned clothing looking like something that could have come from Crowley's closet. (Ka even sounded snake-ish, a la Rudyard Kipling. He supposed it could have been worse.) Black and red and not a lick of tartan. THAT would not do. Miracles might not work here, but he was sure a little needle and thread could be made to save him from this if he didn't learn the appropriate magic before then. For now, however, he was content to wear his usual light colored coat and bow-tie; there was no sense to change clothing immediately on arrival. The weather was certainly amenable; when he had left it had been late summer as well. But his arms were getting a bit tired of carrying his new supplies, including the odd sword hilt he had been (oh, dear) assigned.
Temples
Wandering eventually lead him, no surprise, to the temples. The Temple of Raida drew him in first, because it was grandiose and yet had an air of benevolence. Inside, it reminded him of cathedrals and mosques and temples he had visited over the millennia. Beautiful. Imposing.
He expected his feet to burn. Perhaps expected a good smiting. Instead, he took a seat on one of the pews without interference and wondered if this new place was too far from his God that she might not even see him anymore.
Gloves At The Table
Peeking into the restaurant, he determined it seemed to be a teppanyaki-style preparation. How quaint! How he would pay for it, Aziraphale had no idea, but it looked enchanting enough, and he was feeling a bit peckish.

Sunset notices his reaction and shifts Monarious back to her shoulder. "Oh, you don't have to worry about Monarious. He looks a little creepy, but he can't do anything weird so long as you don't touch the wrong tentacle."
no subject
"I'm very sorry, that was rude of me," he apologizes, mostly to the creature itself, still a bit wary of the familiar. "I should know better. I am sure you are a very well-behaved, uh, octopus." He almost offers a hesitant hand for a shake, but reconsiders due to her warning. "And I wasn't aware octopuses, octopi (yes, that'd be the Latin) ...that they were offered as familiars."

Sunset grins and shakes her head. "Most students have the normal cats, owls, toads...but a few of us got stuck with weird ones. My best friend has a whale that swims on land."
She grinned. "Is there anything I can help you with while I'm here? It might seem a little weird at first, but it's...usually not dangerous."
no subject
"A- a whale that swims on land?" He had heard of a great many odd things in the past week, but a whale that swam on land (did that mean it flew?) was new and unique. "And here I thought taking in a snake might be a bit difficult. Where would you even keep a land-whale?"
He thanked her for her offer, tell her it was most kind and that he couldn't possibly trouble her, but: "Since you are here, would you happen to know where I could find the library?"
