Hey, it's Anthony Crowley. You know what to do, do it with style.

[He has so many books at this point that his house could pass for a library, so Crowley's in for a treat.]

You've been perusing the offerings of this place yourself, then? You're welcome to my collection. I have enough that I'm not likely to miss a few. They aren't all unscreened, but the ones that are aren't too heavy on the propaganda.

[He considers Crowley for a long moment.]

I won't ask anything in return, but if you're so inclined, you can send any children's books you come across my way.

[Might as well ask. An additional set of eyes would make gathering books for the children much easier.]

[That was almost too easy, and for a second he wonders if it's some kind of trap, but — if Anderson wanted to mess with him, he easily could've brought holy water along to this little meeting. And he did apologize, after all, so maybe it's a sincere offer.

He's definitely going to tell someone before he goes, lest he never returns, but it's worth it to get a chance to read something that isn't awful Duplicity propaganda.]

I've been looking for what I can, yeah, but uh — thanks. [It almost sounds like a question, that thanks, but he's trying.] You've got kids?

[Why else would someone want children's books?]

[Holy water is the least of his concerns, since Anderson is constantly carrying hundreds of consecrated blades. Teleportation isn't the only ability God has afforded him.

He seems vaguely amused by Crowley's attempt at gratitude.]

I'd be curious to see what you've managed to dig up. And your taste in literature. [He doesn't like tragedies, apparently, so perhaps he goes for lighthearted works?] I'm a Catholic priest, specifically, so not in that sense, no. There's just children's homes in the Down I try to attend to the needs of, and their libraries were so sparsely stocked and full of crap when I arrived here that I've spent the last several months collecting and editing books.

[The indoctrination starts early, so it's been a slow process of making the books more palatable.]

[demonicmiracle]

[Consecrated blades would be unpleasant, would likely discoporate him and hurt a hell of a lot, but holy water is the only thing that can make Crowley cease to exist. It's pretty much always the height of his concerns.]

Oh, it's rubbish, as the angel so often tells me. And I'd offer to let you come up for a browse, but I've a party to be at in a bit. [Some of his favourite books are the James Bond novels so..... that tracks. It isn't all he reads, but often does lean towards more lighthearted things. There's enough tragedy in daily life.] Right, well, I'll keep an eye out for anything that isn't awful and pass it along.

[Kids deserve not shitty books.]
