(no subject)

Who: Anyone
When: Day 1, Afternoon
Where: The Arena
What: With any luck, answers.

[ You've met each other, and at least some of the confused amnesiacs have ventured out into the closest thing the sealed city has to open air, outside the dormitory building they woke in. The arena loomed large, the biggest landmark the city had to offer, and at some elected to explore the large building.

For those that didn't, the grand flash of light that fills the streets, coming from the direction of the Arena may call attention to it.

For those already there, the blinding light that suddenly blazed into existence is impossible to miss, pure and bright. If they closed their eyes reflexively, they may not notice, but the observant might notice that the flash left no afterimage on their closed eyelids. For those with their eyes left open, they will find the light doesn't hurt, or diminish their vision when they look away, though they still have difficulty seeing into that burning core.

Not long after, the light starts to dim. At the core of it, a mass of brilliant wings, too numerous to count keeps itself aloft in a constant whirr of motion and feathers. Or— maybe that's wrong, in certain moments there are no pure white feathers but stripped musculature, raw and writhing, with far too many eyes hidden amongst the folds.

Will you approach? ]

Some kinda messenger, apparently.
fantasykiller: (Not amused)

"Angel of Omens, Prophecy, and Tidings of Things Yet To Come" is a pretty impressive title for a simple messenger.
blankasfreshlyfallen: (Hello handsome.)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-01 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd think. Sounds like her boss is calling the shots, though.
fantasykiller: (Not amused)

[personal profile] fantasykiller 2014-09-02 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
And keeping information from her. She wasn't even aware that any of us had our memories wiped.
blankasfreshlyfallen: (What the hell was that?)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-02 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't seem too surprised when I mentioned it.
fantasykiller: (Thinking Face)

[personal profile] fantasykiller 2014-09-02 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's more like she didn't known the extent of our memory wipe? According to her, she didn't even know that we couldn't recall fundamental information like our own names.
blankasfreshlyfallen: (We were told there was something)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-02 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Could be, I guess.

Seems like giving her an awfully big slice of the benefit of the doubt, though.

fantasykiller: (Yes?)

[personal profile] fantasykiller 2014-09-04 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I just feel like she has no real incentive to lie about it.

[He shifts his head slightly to glance towards the direction where Exael is.]

How much do you know about Angels?
blankasfreshlyfallen: (No offense Cap but I'm bored)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-04 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What she said.

[Jerks a thumb toward Exael.]
fantasykiller: (Serious Business)

[personal profile] fantasykiller 2014-09-05 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

Alright, follow me.

[He starts walking towards the dorms and distancing himself away from Exael.]
blankasfreshlyfallen: (Look - I'm telling you guys. I'm fine.)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

Where're we going?

[But, after giving Exael one last look, he's heading after you.]
fantasykiller: (Yes?)

[personal profile] fantasykiller 2014-09-05 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Back to the dorms.

[He then goes silent. Once Exael was completely out of sight, he starts speaking again.]

This should be hopefully far enough. I have something very important to tell you and don't want her to hear a single word of it.
blankasfreshlyfallen: (I'd kill myself first.)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-05 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
...okay. I'm all ears.
fantasykiller: (Serious Business)

[personal profile] fantasykiller 2014-09-05 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Listen. I believe this is not the first time I've encountered an Angel. I don't remember why or when, but what I do know is that my ability can harm Angels and the only way I would even know that is if I had fought one before. There is a possibility that our meeting with Exael is not our first one.
blankasfreshlyfallen: (It's all a trap now.)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-05 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
So you think... what? That we had to take on her or her boss sometime?
fantasykiller: (Yes?)

[personal profile] fantasykiller 2014-09-05 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly. I only know that I used my ability on an Angel before and by coincidence we happened to meet an Angel who has business with us.
blankasfreshlyfallen: (There's a busted-out skylight.)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-05 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like someone's not telling us the whole story.
