Storytellers Temple

It wasn't long after his and Aziraphale's arrival that they decided to split up and investigate this new world separately. While neither of them seemed too keen on being separated, they agreed it would make for a quicker search of things. Crowley headed north immediately, seeking anything that looked like a structure that may be inhabited by people.

The building was very obviously built as a temple. A place to pay proper respects to someone or something. He had no reason to tred on holy ground for many years, but the sight of the stuffed rabbit out front drew him in, and he was surprised to find the ground not white-hot on the bottom of his feet. Something about this rabbit drew forth memories of a dream he was sure he had. At least, he thought it was a dream. His memory did seem a bit fuzzy.

"Curiouser and curiouser..." he muttered, squatting in front of the rabbit and staring down his nose at it over his sunglasses. Crowley wasn't one for books, but once he'd seen a made-for-TV adaptation of Alice in Wonderland and felt like Alice herself following the rabbit down its hole.

Monkey Compound

By no means was it Mayfair, but these seemed to be residences. Let's be honest, it wasn't posh or upscale, but it was the only thing he'd come across since the temple that looked inhabitable. Crowley was particularly taken by the garden. His little plantcare hobby may be of some use on a deserted island yet, depending on how stubborn the greenery is in this world. Perhaps all they need is for someone like Crowley to knock them down a peg or two, show them what's what.

He's encircling the garden when he notices a particularly well-growing plant. Proud little thing, he looks it up and down and scoffs. "Don't be so cocky..." he hisses as if it can hear him, not realizing anyone might be listening to him.

Denny

Finally, something normal, or at least as close to normal as one might find on a strange island. Come to think of it, finding a bar/restaurant isn't very normal at all given the situation. Crowley won't complain, of course, and take comfort in the small things.

He takes a seat on an open bench, waiting patiently for a server to reach him. "A glass of whatevers drinkable." he requests, open to recommendations. He's surprised to notice that he feels tired after a day of searching. He's never really felt tired before, at least, not like this. He tries to shake it off, must be in his head.

While the islands themselves are diverse and full of enough hijinks to keep even the most adventure-prone resident busy, they are still islands. As in, not connected to mainland that Steve has been able to deduce. And if there is one, then clearly the god-like beings are hiding it pretty damn well. So he's taken up his old habit of jogging, mostly to keep out of trouble, and to keep in shape should Big Trouble decide to swing by and decide to set up shop.

Which is why one morning, shortly after Crowley arrives, he'll be greeted by the Artist Formerly Known As Captain America darting past him on one of the more used walking paths, preceded only by a called out warning, "On your left!"

Theoretically, routine always helps. It's something normal to concentrate on, especially since so little of Steve's life is normal anymore. But that's a distinction that maybe not very many people kidnapped to the islands make. Or even think about making. Which is okay. He's always been the odd duck out.

Even when the guy on the trail steps right into his path, forcing Steve to pull an impromptu twist further to one side (still his left, for anyone keeping count) in order not to bowl Crowley over. At any rate, one of them is careening towards a spectacular halt. Maybe even with a flurry of flailing limbs. And some good-natured cursing.
