angel sanctuary - alexiel

( Audio )

( A day filled with the memories of betrayals, hm? Alexiel is glad that certain residents are no longer in the city. Otherwise she would have more than one knife in her back.

However, after feeling the impulse to right her betrayals (i.e. by using someone else like a pin-cushion), she decides to spend the day high above most of the other citizens. While a knife in her back wouldn't kill her or keep her down for long, it would hurt and she doesn't want to deal with the inevitable backlash of "I wasn't myself!" etc. etc..

Oh city, you never disappoint. )

Should anyone feel I've betrayed them, I suggest that you buy a doll and take out your frustrations on it.

( Her voice is laced with bitter amusement. )

I think it would do you more good in the long run.

The voice of common sense.

Oh?

Force is the only way to make a bed collapse.

Some of us lack that destructive impulse.

Where's the fun in that?

It saves on expenses.

( How boring. ) Does that concern you?

You have no idea how often Michael's seen fit to destroy my house, have you?

I would think, in comparison, a broken bed would be nothing.

Oh, but the memories it holds are priceless.

Those memories stay with you. You don't need an object to hold them for you.

I'd prefer it.

Are you afraid you will forget otherwise?

What are you driving at?

Is your memory growing faulty?

Give it another few millenia, if I'm obscenely unlucky.

It might not take long. This city has a history.

[He laughs, shortly.]

Of driving people mad? It would take more than a few years of that for me.

And making people forget.

Well, why should they remember anything that transpires here? I'm told it has no bearing on what happens back home, even when you return.

That wasn't what I meant.

You might forget what happened yesterday or the day before while you are here. You might even forget something important to you.

I can think of worse punishments.

...so can I.
