Masks With Style

Summary:

“I can’t deal with this. Plague, lockdowns, and now I have to see this? It’s the last straw. I’m going back to sleep.”

“I’d really rather you didn’t, my dear.”

“...Fine. I’ll stay awake and complain instead, if you prefer.”

Notes:

For the prompt: "Mask." While this is set after the Good Omens Lockdown Episode and does make passing reference to the pandemic, the scene itself is really just fluffy banter.

In other news, this is my first try at writing dialogue-only in quite a while!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Aziraphale, are you kidding me.”

“Not in the slightest.”

“I can’t deal with this. Plague, lockdowns, and now I have to see this? It’s the last straw. I’m going back to sleep.”

“I’d really rather you didn’t, my dear.”

“...Fine. I’ll stay awake and complain instead, if you prefer.”

“That is far preferable, yes. I appreciate it.”

“...”

“...”

“...”

“You were going to complain?”

“...Right. Right. I mean… tartan, angel? Tartan masks? This is one of your worst ideas yet. Which is saying something.”

“Oh, these weren’t my idea. A human was selling them, on the interwebs. It’s her design; I merely decided to order a set of two hundred. Aren’t they brilliant?”

“You’re saying a human came up with tartan face masks??”

“Exactly so. Very polite young lady when we spoke on the telephone. She was happy to modify the colors if I provided fabric.”

“...”

“I told you tartan is stylish!”

Notes:

Nine drabbles left to post in the next two days, if I count correctly! 😅 Subscribers who are still here and braving the work notifications, take heart; this storm will be over by the event deadline Friday, and then we'll have all a needed posting respite for a little while! Those who unsubscribed, I don't blame you at all and would likely have done the same. xD
