[It's taken several minutes to figure out but apparently hitting buttons until something happens works.]

I'm not sure where I am right now but this isn't Yetzirah. Not that anyone is going to miss me.

[Not knowing what else to do someone went exploring. After flying around a good part of the City the little angel can be found either drawing on the sidewalks with some chalk ne found, walking (or perhaps still flying) around, or playing at the park.]

((Hatter's been de-aged and won't be happy about this come Monday replies will come from withoutvalue . Quick warning: comments may contain self-worth/esteem issues and parental psychological abuse due to Hatter's actual name and meaning.))

Comments

[deadmanbusiness]

[Theo is caffeine hunting. It's not going well. He's in a surly (to put it lightly) mood and not exactly looking where he's going. Which is why he trips over a little angel drawing on the sidewalk.

And lets out a very nasty set of curses in a dialect of Babylonian.]

[withoutvalue]

[Sorry Theo. At least she doesn't understand the language yet since Babylon hasn't been created?]

Umm...sorry.

[Pai squats down next to the little angel.]

Truth or dare?

[withoutvalue]

[That's a silly question isn't it? Or is it...she's not really sure.]

Truth?

[sleepingstar]

What are you most ashamed of?

[withoutvalue]

Is this a game? [She's not really sure of it or what the girl is asking.]

Um...I accidentally tripped someone earlier.

[Ask again when she's older Pai, not that ne'll be ashamed of anything then but ne'll have plenty that ne should be ashamed of.]

[ Now isn't that an interesting sight. ]

... Why won't they miss you? Did you do something bad?

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

( You've been found, Hatter, and by someone who looks confused about your current state.

These curses are going further and further, it seems. )

This is new. ( Alexiel is as imposing as ever, but her features give away her slight concern. ) You should come home.

[withoutvalue]

[What? Aren't little girls with white wings common where you come from Hei?]

No. [She's actually a little upset you'd think so mister.] There's just so many and I'm not anything important.

( Action )

[withoutvalue]

[Oh hi there. She has no idea just who Alexiel is but she recognizes the aura of another angel and that's good enough.]

Do you know how to get back? I couldn't find the way no matter how hard I tried.

[deadmanbusiness]

[Pretty good reason because it wasn't the nicest of things.

[He blinks down rapidly at her and reactivatly bristles, radiating Cranky Caffeine deprived necromancer godling ANGEL. GRRRR.... little angel though.]

Yes. Fine.

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

( Alexiel suppresses a sigh and holds out her hand. It might not be as comforting of a gesture as one might hope, but she isn't going to leave Hatter alone on the streets. )

We can't go back there. You have another home. I can take you there.

[withoutvalue]

[She's actually pretty used to that reaction.]

I didn't realize anyone would be walking by.

[That and she wasn't paying attention.]

( Action )

[withoutvalue]

Oh. Okay.

[She's not really surprised by that. Actually the use of we is a bit surprising however. Still, she's not going to question the older angel and instead takes her hand before standing.]

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

You might find this place more comforting than Heaven. ( Even with the curses, it isn't as bad. ) My name is Alexiel.

( Action )

[withoutvalue]

Aren't we supposed to stay there? [She really doesn't care one way or the other, although no one's yelled at her here so far except that one guy.

She doesn't remember any angels by that name but it would be rude to say so. That and Alexiel's being nice to her.]

Mine's Belial. [And then there's the wait for the reaction that always brings.]

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

( At least her senses weren't failing her. If she hadn't noticed Hatter's aura, she would have been thrown by that name. )

It's nice to meet you, Belial. ( She squeezes the little angel's hand comfortingly. ) It's a shame we never crossed paths in Heaven.

( As to the first question... )

You are not supposed to do anything. For the most part, you are free here.

( Action )

[withoutvalue]

[Okay that wasn't the expected reaction, but whatever.]

Free? But we're not. We're supposed to do what we're told and not get in trouble.

[There's going to be a very upset devil once this is over...]

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

Who do you imagine rules your actions so? ( Let them all be damned, Belial. Even if that's redundant in some cases. ) Say a name and I guarantee you they are not present.

( Action )

[withoutvalue]

[Now you're just talking silly Alexiel.]

How can He not be here.

[All knowing, all seeing, here, there, and everywhere...]

[dignity_misery]

[She's heard that name before, from Raphael. It draws her curiosity.]

Who are you?

[withoutvalue]

[There's no reason not to answer as far as she can tell.]

Belial.

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

He's not. ( Just like that. ) The only ones watching you are the deities.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Nope. Just little girls with hit-lists, grenade-launchers and bloodsplattered uniforms. ]

You must have some talents that make you important.

[ In truth, important is the last word he'd use. Marginally Useful, perhaps. But he's interested in elicitation. That means coming across as neutral and non-threatening. ]

[withoutvalue]

[There's a quick shake of her head before a reply.]

He said I was worthless.

[Word of God and all that.]
