The Wolf's Den

[His shoulders sag more than usual as if the weight of his role is pressed too hard upon him. He feels like can empathize at least a little bit with what Alexander must have felt in this role at the mansion, though he has no loved ones here to worry about while knowing who is who. Still, knowing the carnage that is about to happen over the next several days doesn't make this any easier.

Aziraphale seems to dither for a moment before looking at Alexander and Phillip. His voice is soft but firm. This is something that has to be done. From what he's read about how this world works, they don't have much choice.]

Well, er... Alexander I suppose you know how this works better than I. You two are this Ritual's Wolves.

I'm sorry.

Hey no, you can't drag Phillip into this. Me yeah sure, but he's too young for this shit.

Honestly... [He purses his lips slightly in frustration.]

You know I didn't choose the wolves. You know I didn't choose who is involved in this Ritual. You know how tightly my hands are bound in this matter. I thought you, of all people, would understand what is happening, why, and how.

Phillip was dragged into this the moment he arrived into this world. And as young as he may be, you can't always be there to protect him. You're lucky his first time as a wolf is with you and not, say, that shadowy being I've seen around or that ridiculous crab.

[Philip isn't exactly clinging to his father, but he's definitely sticking pretty close.]

You gonna keep talkin' about me like I'm not standin' right here? -- Wait, crab? [He's picturing a normal size crab and is very confused.]

You haven't seen that walking chandelier? He's pretty hard to miss.

And yeah fun fact about that, I used to know a lot of shit, but when you stop bein' shepherd they take that away from you. But keep acting superior, fluffy.

.... Really? That was something I was unaware of... Er... My apologies for my tone.

Er, yes. He's massive and covered in gold. I haven't spoken with him, but he's rather hard to miss.

...Of course.

[why is EVERY ANIMAL HERE giant and terrifying? are there not any, like, squirrels? normal squirrels?]

...Alright, so we're doin' this. If Jefferson goes out, then Black is the least terrible one. If black goes out... Well shit, I don't wanna take Jefferson out with Madison here, So I guess D'artagnan or Felix?

[he makes a terribly awkward gesture at Phillip. Because he wants to give the guy the freedom to make his own choices, but those choices also include killing people. so.]
