[video] the light that you have left behind

[bedsidemanners]

[Someone picked a poor weekend to come to the City. Not to mention a poor time of the year to land in the fountain. But there's a soaked, disheveled blond man peering down at the camera, wringing out his tie.]

It's far too cold for a greeting like this to be pleasant. Have I been exiled?

[the tie is stuffed into his pocket, and he straightens up]

This is Raphael. I'm assuming this is enough verification.

[but after a pause, camera blurring, the angle adjusts accordingly, closing in on his face]

Not that this could possibly be part of Heaven or Assiah. But if anyone has any information concerning Gabriel or Sara Mudo, please contact me immediately.

Thank you.

[He returns and they are the first he asks for? Someone won't be too happy about that.]

Neither are here. Should you not be asking after someone else instead?

[valentineluke]

You're handling the repeat dunking rather well.

[well, as far as he knows, Michael's at the border fighting off demons]

...

[it's a second before he answers, face falling unbidden as he stares at the screen]

What are you doing here?

[bedsidemanners]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Still not the response ne was expecting. Oh wait a minute...there was only one explanation.]

You do not remember this place do you.

[valentineluke]

...anything about the place look familiar to you?

[bedsidemanners]

No. Why should it?

You're not answering my question.

This One is here the same as you, by the whim of those in charge. There shall be at least one who is pleased by your return to the City.

I've got no reason to believe you. I'm not flattered.

No you do not, until you speak with Michael.

1/4?

[beyourarmy]

[He wants to ask so many questions, but instead, all he can do is semi-glare. And not even because it's Raphael, or because he's asking for Sara - though he kind of wants to - but because Katou left and THIS is what the deities brought back?]

[The somewhat glare, however, turns into a look of confusion. Isn't this better for Michael?]

[valentineluke]

Not uncommon to lose memories of the previous stay.

Assuming it's still standing, you have a place somewhere around here.

[beyourarmy]

[Yeah, yeah it is.]

[beyourarmy]

[Fine. He can manage a smile and a wave. Hi~!]

video, done;

[beyourarmy]

[And then he's back to looking confused once more. Wait. Why doesn't Raphael seem to recognize this place? Why is he asking about Sara and not Michael?]

[bedsidemanners]

I'm afraid you're mistaken. I don't have time for this right now.

[He leans way in close to the camera.

Please note he has a cat with flaming ears on one shoulder and a tabby on this other.]

So you decided ta come back? Who said you were invited?

[He loves you. Really.]

[gotashortfuse]

Get out. He doesn't want you.

[Ugh. This guy sucks. Why does he have to try and badtouch his best friend all the time? Gross.]

[gotashortfuse]

You need pictures and shit or he'll be confused about why you're making faces at him.

Excuse me?

[beyourarmy]

[Face palm. Not that again! Setsuna points at Michael. You can tell him!]

[bedsidemanners]

[Well, that was... distinctly odd. Raphael's own expression is a mix of confusion and distaste, although he does at least raise a hand.]

Check the device, Michael's name should be there.
