angel sanctuary - mad hatter

video;

[What is one to do after discovering several images around the City? Most are sure to happily give them to those who appear within the pictures and wish them a pleasant day with their memories. Most are not devils out to cause mischief or trying to obey nearly impossible orders.]

Such interesting morsels dropped upon us this day.

[In nir hands ne's holding several photographs one or two that might be partially visible on screen--not the full images of course, that would be playing nir hand too soon.]

Some are downright scandalous even. Perhaps we are lucky some have left the City after all. Some of us in any case.

[filtered to Gabriel]

One does wonder which he believes is present here. Just who is the kiss for?

((images are available here, or someone is always free to find anything of Hatter and generic angel #_____________ of either gender))

[... Oh shit. Really, City? Usually it's just photos of his sex life... not his... lazy habits back home.]

Er... Mind giving me that one of myself...?

[What? It's so cute.]

It was going to be a gift to Nathan later, but if you'd prefer it...

O-Oh. You can.. give it to him then.

One is certain he will appreciate such a sweet image.

... Sweet, yeah.

Where did you find that?

[No. She cannot let herself get frazzled.]

That was Sara, and I'm sure he was aware. He was infatuated with her.

Around. It seems the City has decided to grace us with evidence of the worst kind.

Was or is? Time is so strange here. But it is understandable, she was such a lovely child.

Oh?

[It's amazing how much alarm and contempt, at the same time, can be packed into one syllable.]

—Is, then, I suppose. She was, but it's hardly my business or yours, and she is fortunate enough not to be here right now.

What do you want from me?

[Interesting reaction there Gabriel.]

As only one subject from the photo is around, One did wonder if he might want it. He is not likely to accept it from this One's hands however.

Are you saying you wish for me to give it to Raphael? I am not sure he needs it.

Needs? No. But it is almost certain he will want it.

Yes, he will. [She sounds increasingly flustered.] I don't - I'm not -

If it were to come from this Ones hand, even out of good will, it would not be accepted. Who better to give it than yourself then?

At least Setsuna is not here to see it. [Not that ne'd torment him with the image...maybe.]

The Messiah is better off away from this place. He belongs at home. [This is just one of many reasons why.]

You're putting a lot of faith in me to assume I'd simply give it to him. What is to stop me from simply ripping it up?

That would be your prerogative. One would think however, that the objective might be to retrieve it first and then decide what to do with it.

[She is silent for some time.]

Very well then. Where should I meet you?

One was preparing for a trip to the park at [location]. We could meet there.

Very well.

[Gabriel will disconnect the feed then. She will be waiting for Hatter at the park, looking anxious and on guard.]

[And when ne arrives, Hatter has a small boy in hand that ne leads over to the swings. They speak for a moment before ne bends to place a kiss upon his head. Only then does ne approach Gabriel.]

How very pleasant to see you once more.

[Gabriel spares a soft look for the little boy, but her gaze hardens once more as Hatter approaches her. She doesn't acknowledge the greeting, trying to show as little external feeling as she can.]

I believe you have something you wished to give me.

[It matters not for it's been a pleasant day all around.]

So One did and does.

[The image appears in nir hand in a puff of smoke. Ne holds it out to Gabriel without another word.]

I have something for you.

Oh? And what sort of present is it?

Come here and I'll decide if you deserve it.

Just speak the when and where as your wish is Ones command.

She'ol, then. Now.

[And, yes, he is enjoying that he named the club this now.]

[It's a beautiful name and day. Ne's antagonizing the hell (ha) out of "Li", getting Gabriel properly pissed at Raphael, and enjoying nemself over all.

Without another word ne's at the club.]

You called?

Edited 2013-04-26 15:34 (UTC)

M-hm.

[He does regard Belial with a short look, then he just leans back against the counter and takes another slow drag from his cigarette.]

Stand up. Come here.

[Closer? It seems so.]

What have you been up to?

[Not that ne's ever paid much attention to personal space in his presence, but ne does so moving to stand just in front of him.]

Fishing. One was given such lovely bait to play with today. And they're biting.

I'd think that you'd enjoy that.

[A pause as he inhales from his cigarette, then exhales slowly, actually looking at nem through the haze of smoke.]

What's my name, Belial?

You ask as if you forget...[Ne hasn't though, no matter how much ne wishes otherwise ne knows he's not nirs. Yet.] Kira.

Perhaps I do forget at times.

[He pauses for a moment, then turns the cigarette in his hands and holds it to nir lips.]

But you won't forget who else I am again.

[Ne closes them around the cigarette taking a long drag off of it before releasing the hold.]

That was already promised to another.

And it doesn't matter more to me?

It's just that Setsuna asked first.

[Of course he also said ne should let Kira push nir into doing stupid things in the first place but...]

Although it had already been decided.

[Ne prefers knowing it's only a matter of time before he is nirs again.]

[He lets the cigarette fall down, not putting it back to his own lips after it had been touched by nem's.]

I am your Lord, Belial. In this form or any other.

[Nir blood runs cold at his words even as nir pulse starts to race. It's automatic the way nir eyes drop unable to see him like this wanting him all the more despite it.]

Always as sworn.

[And even before.]

I found a picture you might like.

[He holds it up, a moment of their first meeting captured on film by the city's magic.]

Do you?

[Ne looks up to view the image curious. Li's earlier one had been of something yet to come, this one ne found more interesting.]

How could One not?

[Nir life changed that day.]

So take it.

[Nothing else said and he holds his hand still, no move to hold it out to nem and no move to keep it away, either.]

[Ne reaches out cautiously. He's never been nice to nem--not that ne'd want him to be. There's a catch, or hook, somewhere in this ne's sure; yet, it's something ne'll gladly accept.]

[So far, he doesn't seem to have a hidden agenda. He lets nem take it and he lowers his hand again.]

In actuality you'd deserve nothing or worse.

[Image in hand, nir eyes stray to it, to him. Still Kira's words are the one in nir ears.]

True. So why did you do so?

Because it seems like you need a reminder of who it is you serve, no matter the form.

There might be an even better reminder soon.

[Well if that didn't suggest all kinds of things.]

How so?

You'll see, should it happen. Who knows, maybe you'll even be useful.

Miracles happen.

One shall wait most patiently until the time.

Naturally. Now get lost.

[Ne looks at the picture one more time then back up at him.]

Thank you.

[No matter his reason, ne'll accept it.

And then ne's gone.]
