( Private to Luke Valentine. )

I'm sorry for contacting you so late. ( Her tone is nothing but formal. ) Setsuna informed me at the beginning of the month that you might have work for me?

I'm interested.

( It isn't easy for an Angel who has finally returned to her body to stay still. She is rarely in the apartment she shares with Setsuna during the day and, at night, she is usually walking the streets, her eyes fixed on the sky.

For some reason, night time appeals to her.

Quite fitting for one of the Fallen. )

( Alexiel switches to video and reveals that she is wearing a sleeveless, low-cut shirt paired with a pair of tight shorts. To complete the look, she is also wearing a pair of knee-high boots.

Her hair is loose - except for a small portion which is gathered into a tail. )

Adjusting to city life is...challenging. ( She speaks lowly, following a sidewalk until she reaches a corner. ) I admit that slumbering inside of a human is different from encountering the intricacies of Earth in my body.

( Exhaling, she reaches up and tugs her generous hair into a full ponytail. )

The heat is impressive. Is it often this hot during the Summer? Or is this a strange coincidence?

Either way, I could see this being a problem for humans. ( She crosses a street, taking long strides. ) Thankfully, there is no shortage of water.

If there were, I might be tempted to help. ( Right before she reaches the next sidewalk, she spreads her wings and flaps them, creating a cool rush of air for herself and those nearby. )

Do not become dehydrated.

Summer's usually warm. It's pretty humid back in Tokyo.

[confined_to_briah]

I remember that. It's different experiencing it against my skin.

[beyourarmy]

Well, I'm used to it. Just don't forget to drink a lot of water yourself, okay? I'll buy some of that stuff with the electrolytes in it for us.

[confined_to_briah]

Electro...lytes? What is that?

[beyourarmy]

Something we lose when we sweat. So those drinks are supposed to replenish the body.

[confined_to_briah]

I thought water would be enough for such things.

Then again, it does depend on one's diet.

[beyourarmy]

I thought so, too. But they make it sound like it's not.

[confined_to_briah]

Human doctors?

[beyourarmy]

No, advertisements for the drinks. I've never really seen much of human doctors. Never really needed to.

[confined_to_briah]

Where do they get their information, I wonder? Scientists? Do they make it up?

( Skepticism. )

You're lucky.

[beyourarmy]

No idea.

And hardly! I'm cursed, remember? [Grin.] It's probably thanks to you I never got injured or sick much. Just beat on.

[confined_to_briah]

You discovered your inner strength. At that point, I was still slumbering, Setsuna.

( Though can anyone really expect her to pair with a weak mortal? )

[beyourarmy]

Huh? But none of that stuff is normal.

Most people get sick once in a while. And I shouldn't have been able to not get hurt like I did. It's weird.

[confined_to_briah]

I said I was slumbering - I didn't say I wasn't present.

[beyourarmy]

Oh! Right. [He's fine with that. As long as he's not abnormal and is human. It's all okay.]

You probably still need water, though, don't you?

[confined_to_briah]

( His desire to hold onto that familiarity brings a sad, yet amused smile to her face. )

Need is too strong of a word. I enjoy drinking water.

[beyourarmy]

Really?

...well, I'm drinking lots of it!

[valentineluke]

Depends on what abilities you have that are applicable to the hotel business.

(Private)

[confined_to_briah]

Security wouldn't be difficult for me. I am also experienced when it comes to dealing with clients. ( Sex clients, but hey, she can tone that down. )

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

Oh Aces is spelled against violence.

What did the dealings entail?

(Private)

[confined_to_briah]

Far more than what you likely offer.

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

Still counts as concierge experience.

(Private)

[confined_to_briah]

I am willing to follow whatever rules you have in place.

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

Now that you are a concierge, I'll leave it to your judgement on how to best handle 'odd' requests.

One very important thing to remember: No one is to be turned away from Oh Aces, especially during times of crisis.

(Private)

[confined_to_briah]

Understood. I can think of only one who I would turn away, but he is not here. ( Not to mention, he would probably be the one causing the crisis. )

You're... not human?

[confined_to_briah]

I am the Organic Angel Alexiel.

[hatedbyfanboys]

... Organic?

video;

[confined_to_briah]

I was fashioned from living things. As such, my wings can, if one partakes of a feather, bring one back from death.

[hatedbyfanboys]

... Really? I've never heard of that type of angel...

[confined_to_briah]

I am the only one of my kind, though I do have a twin.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Your twin's different?

video;

[confined_to_briah]

He is my opposite when it comes to our abilities.

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Does he look like you?

video;

[confined_to_briah]

Our faces are the same, but our hair color differs.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Sort of like Ivan and I...
