( Alexiel is looking a little battered when the feed turns on. Her propensity for wandering the streets - especially at night - earned her more than a few run-ins with falling objects. Yet it's nothing she can't handle. She hasn't even bothered to tend to the wounds. )

For the sake of curiosity...

How many of you have experienced multiple lives? ( i.e. reincarnations etc.. ) I know about the City's ability to revive the dead and that doesn't interest me.

( She shifts the camera so that her current place of work comes into view. There are people nearby eyeing her curiously, but she pays them no mind. )

If you have been reincarnated ( there is no better word for it ), what do you recall of your past lives? What did you learn? Was it worth dying for?

[Suspects a possible concussion behind the deep question.]

Doubtful you'll get much in the way of answers tonight, what with so many recovering from assorted traumas at the moment. Come to the hotel and relax in the meantime.

[confined_to_briah]

( Probably. She's had worse. )

They need to learn to dodge. ( The slightest smirk. ) Is that an offer or an order?

[valentineluke]

An offer. The query can be followed up in the morning - their brains should regain full function by then.

[confined_to_briah]

My curiosity doesn't have to be indulged right away. ( She pushes away from the building and heads towards one of the entrances. ) Focusing on their injuries won't help them terribly much.

[valentineluke]

[Don't be going off to wander the Underground, injured angel.]

Hence why the rest for all. Sleep can be most healing.

[doeswhathewants]

I have been reincarnated, but remember nothing of it. Sometimes I wish I did, that might help me understand why everyone hates me.

[confined_to_briah]

Everyone hates you? ( That's pretty broad. ) Have you tried asking them why?

[doeswhathewants]

I know why, I simply do not remember.

My former incarnation attempted to kill, maim, influence and take over. But I did nothing of that.

[confined_to_briah]

Then you'll simply have to prove yourself.

[doeswhathewants]

Ah. Is there not a third option? I ... tend to have convoluted ideas of proving myself.

[beyourarmy]

[He's a little battered himself, but it's also nothing Sets can't handle.]

You okay?

[confined_to_briah]

I can't complain. ( She gives him a brief smirk. ) There was little blood.

[beyourarmy]

I guess with the blood you could lure out the vampire population for a fight.

...you sure?

[confined_to_briah]

They wouldn't appreciate the outcome.

( She sighs. )

One of my wings is damaged, but it will heal.

[beyourarmy]

[He shudders. Wings are so sensitive and fragile.]

Let me wrap it for you. That's something I'm not bad at. Did it for a lot of birds when I was younger.

[mortemscintilla]

Are you all right?

[ The concern is superficial. She can probably handle it. He himself has handled worse. ]

[ But 'Li' is a worrywart. ]

[confined_to_briah]

One of my wings sustained the worst damage. ( Though her face is bruised and she has a black eye. ) Everything will heal given time.

[mortemscintilla]

I barely escaped being crushed by a grand piano.

It felt safer to hide indoors.

[confined_to_briah]

A few objects falling from the sky won't stop me from being outdoors. ( It's like a challenge. )

[mortemscintilla]

[ He knows that feeling. But it doesn't provoke him into unnecessary risk. ]

Did you save anyone?

[ It seems like something she'd do. ]

Do people normally recall their past lives?

[confined_to_briah]

I wouldn't know.

[signatures]

Then how are all of us supposed to know if we've experienced them?

[confined_to_briah]

I recall mine.

[signatures]

Maybe you're lucky.
