[Good Omens, Two weeks after S2 events...]
Nina: *bumps in* Okay, where TF is he, again?
Maggie: Hello, sir 👋
Pub owner: *sighs* Hello. Same as usual. Someone will have to pay the-
Nina: *slams two 50s on the bar* Here, done. *is under the impression she became the parent of a probably immortal being going through his first teenage heartbreak but with a middle-aged man body and a liquor license*
Maggie: *to the pub owner* Sorry about that, she's... Excuse-me... *follows Nina*
Crowley: *wasted**barely understandable**slams an empty Talisker drink on the table* StUuRpId ASSssAnGeL...
Nina: You have to STOP doing that. We have lives, you know?
Crowley: *unnatural lying position* 'nd bery short at tha', yea, I know tha'. Arn't ya' so luckeh?
Maggie: Please, Sir, you need to go home...
Crowley: *dour laugh* Yeaaaa, well, it's not asif I had tha'.
Nina: *sighs* You live in Mr Fell's Bookshop with Inspector-Naivety-Incarnate-something. Remember?
Crowley: Ah, yea, maybe, huh... *pointing an uncertain finger at Maggie* *high-pitched voice* ey, don't ya owe me rent?
Maggie: *ever seen a very pale cinnamon roll? Ya have now* Well, I...
Nina: *would cross her arms if she hadn't done that already**offended**protective almost-girlfriend* I have paid for your "coping method" a couple thousand pounds by now you didn't feel the need to repay me, so I think you should be careful before demanding any rent! Oh, and should I mention I've spent that in the course of A SINGLE WEEK?
Crowley: *looks at her with the sudden need to throw up**or to break something* No nehd to be... To be... Watevah. This is bullshit! *first sentence he somewhat says perfectly for some reason* My, my point is... Is... Bluh. He's so... BLUH!
Nina & Maggie: *look at each other in we've-heard-that-from-Monday-to-the-next-Monday**opposites face expressions though*
Crowley: *faints because he wants to* *hides his face under his 1941 hat*
Nina: Oh, no! No, no, no! That is not happening! *shakes him* Oy, wake up! I do not have all night!
Maggie: *whispers* Be gentle with him, Mr Fell is... you know...
Crowley: *ignores them**but is also listening*
Nina: *out loud* He behaves like my sister Chantel when she learned that Justin Bieber was dating Selena Gomez! Except that, my sister was fourteen at the time, not- I don't even know! How even old are you?!
Crowley: *shows his face again**yells* WHO CARES?! He's... He's... *proceeds to imitate Gollum's voice to perfection* Stupid fa- fantastic Magisshit-
Nina: Okay, enough. *grabs his arm agressively* Get up!
Maggie: *takes his hat from the floor and his glasses from the table* I don't think he can...
Nina: He can and he will! Go on, get up!
Crowley: *makes himself fall back on the sofa**loves behaving like a 5 yo having a tantrum* NEH! I-I I am NOT...
Nina: Do you want us to abandon you here?
Pub owner: *from afar* If you don't put your uncle out, Coffee girl, I swear...
Nina: *points a very menacing finger* Don't you dare "I swear" me! I "I swear" people, not the other way around, especially not when I have to deal with that excuse of a... a... man! *couldn't come up with something better*
Crowley: Imnottha' but...
Maggie: There is no need to fight, we... *looks at Crowley having somewhat of some tears in the corner of his eyes* He's just... heartbroken, you see?
Crowley: *almost inaudible* I'm noot.
Pub owner: Yeah, 'figured. That's no good reason! Whenever he's here, every customer leaves in under ten minutes for some reason and that isn't good for my business!
Nina: Coming from the lad whose only job is to take advantage of other people's misery, that's rich.
Maggie: Nina, you...
Nina: *grabs Crowley by the first ankle she sees* It will mess up your hair but I am ready to make you slide out of here even if that is the last thing I'll ever do.
Crowley: *falls to the floor**doesn't care* I'd like to see tha'
Nina: Fine, you asked for it. *grabs his second ankle**makes him slide for two meters before almost giving up**to Maggie* What are you waiting for? Take him by the armpits if you have to, but help me!
Maggie: *wants to do exactly that**doesn't know what to do with her hands for a second**puts Crowley's glasses and hat on to free them**grabs Crowley by the armpits* Okay, okay, One...
Nina: *holds herself from laughing at Maggie's new improvised look**is not even in the mood to anyway**lifts Crowley up**realizes she's the only one doing so**offended look*
Maggie: I... Sorry. I thought we would lift him up at three and...
Nina: *sighs in I-ve-never-signed-for-this-but-here-I-am* Maggie, Angel, please, you're not helping.
Crowley: *out of nowhere* ANGEL! 'Ngels... arn't vey djust...
Nina: Three.
Crowley: *does not mind being lifted by two struggling humans**mumbles* I 'ate 'is sturpid hair...
Nina: Of course you do. Careful the corner, Mag-
Maggie: *hits her hip* Aouch!
Crowley: *more to himself* AND his stupid fess...
Nina: *to Maggie* Careful, I said! If you really want to hit something, hit him! *looks at Crowley*
Maggie: *passing by the bar**to the Pub owner* Sorry about that, have a good night.
Crowley: *less and less understandable* 'nd 's mooth 'hat says 'turpid sings...
Pub owner: Whatever.
Crowley: 'ike "'omoshun is Ineff-neffably 'wesome wa doon't ya' kom wis meh dishtroy thee uni-universs?"
[The doors of the pub ring their departure]
Nina: We really should *Crowley is heavier than she expected* consider *like, really* create a law to oblige pub owners to have *humpf* bedrooms in the back of their establishment!
Maggie: We're *sore arms but still going strong* lucky he lives *breathless* right across.
Nina: *forces open the Bookshop with her hips that don't lie*
[Yeah, there is no way you can escape the Shakira tune now, is it?]
Nina: *right after Maggie has completely entered* Okay, let's drop him here.
Maggie: The couch is right th-
Nina: *drops Crowley's ankles* He can find the couch himself. As far as I am concerned, the floor suits him just fine.
Crowley: The service her' is terr-terrib-bluh!
Nina: Yeah, well, feel free to contact customer service and leave one star.
Crowley: *raising an invisible glass* Happeh to. *threatens to throw up*
Maggie: *to Crowley* Will you be alright?
Crowley: No-PUHHHH.
Muriel: *runs from God knows where towards the group* Oh my God, how is he?
Nina: Same as yesterday. And the day before that. I think he has an alcohol problem.
Muriel: You can be funny just looking at a bottle? Interesting.
Nina: More like looking at a dozen in three days but, who's counting? Certainly not him.
Crowley: *pointing a finger at the Sky* Ya' owe meh a f***ing 'usical!
Muriel: How can I help him?
Nina: You can't. Not really. He has to get through it by himself, as we all do at some point.
Muriel: I'm... confused. Is he... like... sick, or something?
Crowley: A mu-... A mu... si... *faints*
Maggie: Yeah, I believe you can call it that. It is... some kind of... sickness.
Muriel: Not a human sickness, then? *has forgotten she is, obviously, also a human called Inspector Constable* I-I mean, well-
Nina: Apparently, beings like him can catch those as well. Go figure.
Maggie: Maybe... Maybe put a blanket on him?
Nina: He does not deserve it, but yeah, you can do that.
Muriel: Okay, I'll... Sorry: what... is a blanket?
Nina: *sighs* I'm done for tonight. *leaves**comes back* Maggie?
Maggie: I... I think I'll stay for a while.
Nina: Right. It's not as if you had a shop to run in what? Five hours?
Maggie: You told me yourself nobody ever comes to my shop, so...
Nina: *shrugs her shoulders* Sorry, I'm too tired to apologize. Good night, everyone. *to Crowley* Not you. *slams the Bookshop's doors unintentionally*
[Awkward silence]
Maggie: *to Muriel* So... A blanket. It is... like, a, a cloud... but... rectangle.

Currently in cinema class but i also wanted to know more about clockwork, she seems very interesting in what you wrote her relations as! (And shes been a favorite of mine for a long time lol)
Also once tim convinces her to take the infection george clock out of her eye socket, what do you think she'd do with it?
i’ve made a FEW posts about my version of clockwork [1] [2] [3] but there is never enough to talk about with her. she’s become a very central character which i think is fun bc i was never Too too much into her back in the day! finally giving her the attention she deserves
i have her as being one of, if not the, last people to arrive at the mansion, so by the time she gets there, everyone’s had a while to calm down and get to know each other. and natalie doesn’t arrive in the best state, having only been about a week after the events of her origin. she’s just recently snapped and she’s scared and angry and hostile. and her arrival is a different vibe than most, because for a lot of them, their origins weren’t personal. not to her extent.
jeff killed his family, but he was so pumped with pain meds he can hardly remember it. their deaths weren’t personal, he would’ve killed anyone around him at the time. nina’s origin was similar, with the exception of her bullies, who she doesn’t even think about anymore. theirs were Necessities. jack has no memories of his life before the incident, and his initial struggles were more with what he’d become than what he’d done. ben’s arrival is the closest, as he was struggling heavily with having his own body and autonomy again, but he leaned more heavily on needing control than anything else.
but natalie’s still so hurt and still so angry. she felt better for a short while directly after her incident, but that rush had left her by the time slender took her in. she’d taken care of the people who’d hurt her. she couldn’t understand why she still felt so helpless, so hurt. she lashes out and projects her unresolved issues onto the other residents—her medical trauma onto jack, her brotherly trauma onto jeff/ben and sally/nina. she never got the proper conclusion/resolution she thought she would by killing her family, so she attempts to find that in the mansion, which manifests in her lashing out. i said it somewhere before but she’s more just a scared animal. she doesn’t know why she bites, necessarily, just that she’s always had to to survive. her backstory just works really well with the other members and out of anyone i think she’s the one that needs the most healing TBH
as for what happens to her watch, i haven’t actually thought about it! i think the most logical and narratively rewarding solution would be for her to throw it away. to fully leave behind that aspect of her life and start anew, no longer fueled by anger and the need for revenge. but i think she doesn’t get there instantly. the mansion’s full of fucked-up keepsakes (jeff has a knife collection from victim’s houses, jack has his handful of preserved organs, etc) so it isn’t seen as weird for her to keep it. it makes sense, it’s sentimental, after all. i think she gets nina’s help and makes a necklace out of it (after jack thoroughly disinfects the thing. like by god girl) until she heals enough to fully leave that time behind her
