[001] [Voice + Action]

[greatcherubim]

voice;

I seem to require a bit of assistance. Or at least an explanation.

I'm not sure who can hear me. How many other people have been brought here under similar circumstances? Are any of you listening?

My name is Gabriel, the elemental angel of water and the chief of the cherubims. I'd like to know if I was brought here for a reason, and what the reason might be. If there's anything I can do to help, I promise to assist you however I can.

I'd like to know how I was brought there, too. This isn't the kind of thing that ‐ oh my! What is that?

action;

[You can run into Gabriel in person in Xanadu! She has a colorful bird perched on her finger, and she's admiring it intently.]

voice;

[sympathyforme]

[The voice might be familiar. The tone definitely is.]

Tooting your own horn?

voice;

[greatcherubim]

[Gabriel sounds on edge.]

Of course not. Why would you assume that of me?

voice;

[sympathyforme]

I'm just observant.

Long time no see, Gabriel. Maybe you'll stay longer this time.

voice;

[greatcherubim]

You're just -

[No, Gabriel. Stay calm. This isn't worth letting him antagonize you. B r e a t h e.]

How long was I here the last time?

[beyourarmy]

[He falls into the same trap as last time. Staring transfixed.]

Sa-

[beyourarmy]

[The word stops cold. Of course not. She's nothing like Sara. He knows. He heard the name.]

done; video;

[beyourarmy]

[And she doesn't deserve frowns from him just because she isn't who he wants her to be.]

Sounds like you don't remember this place either, huh?

video;

[greatcherubim]

Messiah? You're present here too?

I... no, I don't. Are you telling me I should? [She frowns delicately as a butterfly lands in her hair.] What is there to remember?

voice;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Oh. Yay. Another angel...]

There is no reason other than the amusement of those in charge.

voice;

[greatcherubim]

[There is a slight pause on Gabriel's end. She bristles a little.]

It's not like you to be so forthcoming with information.

voice;

[indecent_butterfly]

It is easy enough information to obtain so there is no reason for this One to with hold it.

[bedsidemanners]

[He bites back the stupid impulse to say Sara's name. It was obvious enough from the first sentence who it really was.]

Gabriel?

[bedsidemanners]

How did you get here, exactly?

[bedsidemanners]

Are you all right?

[greatcherubim]

[A shadow falls over Gabriel's face. She tries to decide what to say to him.]

[greatcherubim]

Raphael. Yes. I'm fine.

action;

[moonlitrequiem]

[She normally doesn't venture far from her apartment or the Welcome Center to do this, but in case she needs to do another tour, it seems best. After seeing the post, she approaches Xanadu, light on her feet, barely audible. She has a slow pace, and her expression never changes from one of what would be apathy, if Yin could even feel apathetic.]

[Yin is soft-spoken, her tone almost flat.]

Welcome to the City, the place you have found yourself in.

If there is a reason for why you were brought here it remains unknown. As far as records indicate, everyone is brought here in the same manner.

[greatcherubim]

Hello.

[Gabriel gives her a soft smile, the kind of warmth she reserves for the young ones.]

Thank you. Is it really only called "The City?"

[moonlitrequiem]

Yes. Some say it is unoriginal. [She says that every time, even though she can't judge that for herself.]

If you have need for assistance, I work at the Welcome Center, across from the fountain. There is information on housing and clothing for those in need.

[gotashortfuse]

[Too long; didn't listen.]

Who are you?

[greatcherubim]

You still can't remember me, Michael?

[gotashortfuse]

...

No.

[water_wine_wizard]

What is an elemental angel?

[Considering on her world angels have absolutely nothing to do with elements and wizards have everything to do with them.]

video;

[greatcherubim]

You don't know? It's an angel who controls one of the four elements - water, fire, air, and earth. Water, in my case. Would you like me to show you?

Re: video;

[water_wine_wizard]

I didn't realize angels could do that.
