Other: Like Aziraphale, Crowley has several powers that he can use. He can shapeshift, though he doesn't like to, as he worries that he'll forget how to turn back to his favorite shape - human. (However, being a demon, he cannot change his eyes. They remain yellow with black slitted pupils, hence his tendency toward wearing sunglass "Even when he dunt need to".) He can stand in the rain without getting wet. He can (and does, at one point) breathe life back into things that have died - possibly an ability left over from the time he was angel. He can't die in the normal sense, though if his human body gets killed, he has to get a new one from Hell, so he tries to not die as much as possible. He can see in the dark, and can more or less wish things into being. Basically, he can more or less shape the world around him to his will, although small things are easier than large things. For example, it's relatively simple to turn bad wine into good wine, or to get a casette player in a jeep than it is to convince a flaming Bentley that it's a whole and perfectly working vehicle. (The Bentley also runs on sheer willpower - when Crowley wants it to, it drives itself, and he bought petrol for it once in the 1960s because he wanted the James Bond bullethole stickers that came with the purchase. Don't ask why he didn't just wish some up for himself. It's a mystery.)
It's implied that the snakeskin "boots" he wears are not in fact boots at all but are in fact boot-shaped snakeskin feet. He doesn't blink much, and he has a tendency to hiss when he forgets himself. He's not very fond of the cold. Like Aziraphale, he doesn't need to eat, breathe, or sleep - although he rather enjoys eating and sleeping. He has wings, although they're usually tucked away, and because he comes from angel stock, they are no different from angel wings.

First Person (entry type):
[Voice - Message for Aziraphale]
Come on, come on, come on, pick up, angel! This is important! Think of the most important thing you've ever thought of and then multiply that by ten thousand and that's not even close to how important this is. This is end of the world important. The end of life as we know it important.
[A long pause.]
Oh, for Go-- for Hea-- for someone's sake, answer your phone. I know you're there. You have to be there. You're always there. What are you doing? Don't tell me you're out. You're never out. Where are you?
[Another lengthy pause.]
No, really. Okay. Look, just call me back, yeah? Do you even check your messages? I mean, do you even know how? No, alright, I'm coming over. I'll be there at six.
Ciao.
[And what is it that's so earth-shatteringly important? Casting choices for a new Bond movie, naturally.]
Third Person:
Crowley stared in disbelief at the screen of his computer, which was currently obstinately refusing to believe that it was supposed to be shut off. He snapped his fingers. Nothing happened. He frowned, and snapped his fingers again. Once again, nothing happened. He continued to stare at the computer screen. The website with the pictures of cheery ducks continued to not go away. Crowley muttered a blessing under his breath and poked at a few keys on the keyboard, and the ducks stayed right where they were.
For a moment, he wondered if someone from Down There was behind this, but there wasn't anything particularly demonic or even hellish about the ducks, apart from the fact that they seemed to have taken over his computer and were refusing to give it back. He tapped his fingers against the edge of the desk, and wondered if he ought to call Aziraphale, but he dismissed the idea on the grounds that if he couldn't figure out how to fix it, there wasn't a snowball's chance in... well, you know... that the angel would be any help.
It was about that time that he remembered that humans tended to put things like power buttons on their appliances, and after a few minutes of searching he managed to find it. With a triumphant grin, he jabbed a finger down onto the button, and--
Nothing. The screen didn't even so much as flicker.
He muttered under his breath again and pulled the chair out from the desk - it had never been used - and sat down, and it was about then that Crowley realized that just because something looked cool didn't necessarily mean it would be comfortable. He frowned again, and a moment later, the chair had obligingly become more bearable to sit in, which was a relief.
Once again, he turned his attention to the ducks, and now there was a space to enter text on the screen. He thought for a moment, and then typed simply, Hello?
