[video/optional action] so close but we should've been closer

[bedsidemanners]

[raphael, looking particularly polished today in a white suit. or overpolished, frowning a little bit and shoving a hand through his bangs.]

I usually hate it when I get the urge to be proactive. It tends to be so much trouble for so little payoff. But lately, I... I don't know. It might still be trouble, but at the very least I've cleared my conscience.

[there's a long pause, and then raphael coughs. and actually tries to smile for the camera.]

Kira, I've been hypocritical. I can't hold you responsible for fixing things with Michael when I'm not willing to let bygones be bygones myself. And you've had-- a rough morning. So I think it's past time that we went out for drinks. Hell, I'll even pay for them.

Messiah, I have three or four dresses you can borrow if you'd like to save some money. Don't worry, they're not overly revealing.

Belial-- [... another long pause, and for a tiny, brief second he looks horrified. but that second passes.] it's been years and I've been rude. I don't think we should meet up, but maybe one day our relations can be more cordial. I'm... willing to make an effort.

Rosiel... well. At the very least, I guess you ought to get naming privileges since you gave me the cat. If there's anything I can do for you as a doctor, I want you to let me know.

(OOC: Cursed with Armistice Day. ... Raphael has a long list of people he detests and really, this is about as friendly as he can manage. But beyond them, he should be responding normally. For the purpose of anyone who wants action tags, Raphael can probably best be found either at the bar or on his way to it.)

Anything else you'd like to share with everyone?

[bedsidemanners]

I don't hide what I do.

[gotashortfuse]

What the hell are you doing?

[bedsidemanners]

I'm trying to tie up loose ends.

[gotashortfuse]

Is that what they call stupidity these days?

[bedsidemanners]

I think you're just upset you weren't on my list.

[beyourarmy]

[.... What? Well, this is better than being called Alexiel.]

Yeah, he has had a rough morning.... Thanks. [Notices the bit about Belial and wonders what the hell that's about, but he doesn't ask.]

I'm looking for stuff I can fight in, but I guess a dress might be nice.

[bedsidemanners]

... You're welcome.

... [rummage. rummage, before finally pulling out three cutesy dresses and putting them in front of the camera. with any luck setsuna won't ask where he got them.]

I don't have anything to fight in.

[beyourarmy]

[He doesn't need to ask. He can guess well enough. Either girls, or Raphael spent time as one.]

It's okay. I just don't wanna end up fighting in something of yours, then ruining it. I'll buy one outfit and borrow...the polka dotted one. Then I'll save some money. These curses only last a day anyway.

[bedsidemanners]

You can keep it, if you want. I'll take it to you.

[Ne's not been here very long but already knows not to trust anything anyone says on days people are acting strange.]

Forgiveness? How quaint. Should One offer the same? One is not so sure of the procedure in such a case.

Private

[bedsidemanners]

... I don't remember doing anything to you.

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

One quotes, I've been rude.

[shall_yield_us]

...see yourself to sleep, Raphael. A long sleep. With wine.

[bedsidemanners]

... Rosiel, I know I'm not generally a very sincere person, but I was being serious.

[shall_yield_us]

As was I. You'll take notice I hardly mentioned opiates.

[Waaaat. Carla isn't paying attention when she picks up the device, otherwise she would have kept her beaten up face off the network.]

...Stop talking.

[bedsidemanners]

I'm not known for shutting up easily.

[dignity_misery]

You're not being proactive.

[You're going to regret this.]

Private

[worldofourown]

You know Kira and Rosiel?

Private

[bedsidemanners]

Not exactly a brilliant deduction.

Private

[worldofourown]

Hm.

I'd pity anyone even remotely acquainted with the two.

[sympathyforme]

Where do you want to meet?

[Rough morning and hit by the curse himself, it makes for not asking really questioning this.]

video

[bedsidemanners]

I don't usually drink enough to know where the bars are around here. Do you have a preference?

[he's so glad one person doesn't seem surprised.]

video

[sympathyforme]

[At least they have each other.]

Not really, out and about anyway. Just come here.

[Sending an address.]

Hope you got enough money on you.
