[ Ah, the cheerful sight of vaguely evolved trash cans, taking a street by storm! Nothing too especial today, except -

...this squad of five Dalek representatives keeps rotating in one and... carrying an organized protest? Chanting? Cheerleading?! ]

SE. TSU. NA. GIVE. GIVE. SE. TSU. NA. GIVE. SE. TSU. NA. SE. TSU. NA. SETSUNA. SETSUNA. GIVE. SETSUNA. SETSUNA. SETSUNA. SE. TSU. NA. GIVE. SETSUNA...


[ Rosiel, meanwhile, will be visible somewhere in the background, quite openly facepalming. ]


...ah. Don't engage indeed.


[ ooc: yes, he tried controlling the Daleks. No, it did not go quite as planned. The 'protesting' Dalek team will be trolling through the City, doing its... cheering, for all to kick around :( b ]

[ . . . she's getting a headache too. at least it's not attacking anyone, which is the best thing here obvsly. ]

[shall_yield_us]

Gabriel, either you smother your discontent like an unwanted babe, or you learn not to radiate it.

[hornblower]

It's difficult not to, Rosiel. I'm certain you understand.

[shall_yield_us]

I understand failure, I understand shame, I understand the defiance of things born of my element that pay it due! That is my understanding!

[hornblower]

[ she sighs. ]

You burden yourself with thoughts of failure and shame when there's none.

[shall_yield_us]

Where there is cause and no effect, there is failure.

[hornblower]

[ arguing with you people is like arguing with a wall. she's not even going to try at this point. ]

A failure that must have been appreciated by the Messiah.

[shall_yield_us]

Did it earn your good humour, my lady?

[hornblower]

It did not, unfortunately. Humor was never one of my stronger points.

[shall_yield_us]

...neither were performance or survival. I've learned not to begrudge you your failings.

[hornblower]

I'm not truly the angel everyone is expecting me to be. Even I have my own shortcomings, Rosiel.

1/2

[shall_yield_us]

I've learned not to begrudge them, because I've learned to begrudge you. You sicken, Gabriel. Hypocrisy sickens.

And this you hear from El's Voice, as He stands. Take it for wisdom.

[shall_yield_us]

...or compliment, as you please.

[hornblower]

[ she's silent for a moment before she sighs. ]

So I've been told though never straight to my face. You're too kind, Rosiel.

[shall_yield_us]

Most welcome, my love. After all, I'm only mad, not useless.

ohmygod dreamwidth let me post aksjfk

[hornblower]

A madness that cannot be cured and will only serve to blossom.

[ she looks like she wants to ask something -- but nah. ]

/ BACKHANDS IT FOR

[shall_yield_us]

A ripple, not yet a tide. Come, come, keep the water metaphor, Gabriel. It does you honour.

sob if you receive double posts, i'm so sorry :c

[hornblower]

A honor I have no need for.

pfffffft I shall love them doubly!

[shall_yield_us]

And what have you need for? And seed and greed and given time, a steed, we're agreed? Choose wisely. You might yet receive it.

/cries

[hornblower]

[ . . . yeah no. ]

Thank you but I've no need for anything, Rosiel.

/ holds ;~;

[shall_yield_us]

...why? I've blood and bone and teeth and eyes given to me to ask you little ingrates, as His emissary. Tell me. Where did His will so stray that you bloomed, like a little nettle, prickling and tickling, and never wanting more in particular? Hmmmmm?

There's the none who wants nothing, Gabriel. Even the Grigori do.

/cries on and flips tables

[hornblower]

[ she smiles at that description, amused. ]

A nettle? If He has created me so, then I am thankful.

I wish for things, I will admit. I wish for Heaven's corruption to end, to save the Grigori and the children of Ion from despair. But what I wish for myself, I have none.
