Her hair dripping wet after washing it in the restroom over the sink, Vivian stepped back out of the ladies', only to find herself not in the bar she'd been in just fifteen minutes ago in New York

Vivian finished pouring her own drink, then turned to the voice. "Oh it's you, it's self service sugar, get your dead lackey to do it if you're above getting your own"
Gabriel nods and points to the drink and Jerry gives him it. "I like this place, its got a nice atmosphere. Its also got a wide range of company." Gabriel takes a zip of his drink then spits it out in another glass.
"Good for you", the quiet bar had only moments ago been pleasing, now she wished there was someone else here that Gabriel could talk to, she really didn't need another round of moral reprehension from an angel.
"Back in the day, it was better", her answer was short, and her irritation apparent.
Gabriel nods, "In the beginning things were so much better." Gabriel had no intention of being didatic. He merely wished to have his drink, "Do you know a girl named Raina?" Gabriel was wondering if this person knew the spirit he revived a body for.
Gabriel grins, "Are you sure about that? I just talked to her the other day." Gabriel shakes his head, "I can't consume it, two angels screwed up and ruined it for the rest of us."
Gabriel nods, "Yeah and the taste wakes me up. Well I suppose I should tell you Raina is walking around in a brand new skin suit." He frowned, "And I kind of sold it to her."
Gabriel shakes his head, "No I didn't, when I looked upon her I saw a person who merely wanted to come back for halloween, so I gave her a body to possess. Granted the body will last a year tops and after the first six months the body will start to rot. I had no idea that she was a demon to so many people and that she killed so many people." Gabriel pauses as he looks at the bottle. "I wish I could consume this. I saw the error of my kindness when Leela told me who she was. So I came back here, in hopes to find her. However that was a lost cause."
Well that's Vivian off the hook having to tell anyone about what she knows. That one was going to start eating away at her, but with Top and Raina being such good friends, he'd have probably beat her senseless, not to mention what Raina would do.
"Six months! Fuck man, can't God like undo it all or something?". She hasn't got a clue how any of this works, but there's no harm in asking.
"I got a spliff in my bag, will that help?" Aww look at that, Viv's warming to him.
Gabriel laughs, "Upon seeing her I'll just light her body on fire. I gave her life and I can take it-" Jerry Interrupts, "You promised!" Gabriel glares at him, "Soon, don't be a pest about it!" Jerry sits down defeated, "Never trust a fucking angel." Jerry begins to cry, Gabriel seems to be getting angrier. "Don't do that! I hate it when you do that! Your the one who had a suicide thought and action after your girlfriend broke your heart. You decided why not hang myself, so I decided to show you and everybody else how bad suicide is." Jerry is still crying, "I'm so tired, I'm so Goddamn tired." Gabriel is now pissed, "Watch your language Jerry! I hate that even more then your pathetic crying." He looks back at Vivian. "No God can't undo anything because God vowed never to directly involve himself with human affairs. No thanks, I'll be fine. However when I see Raina I will kill her body and we'll be at square one."
And she's watching the zombie now with her mouth hanging open, listening to the exchange, the concern growing on her face by the second for this poor man who seemingly did nothing worse than decide to end it all.
He might be back to square one once he's done with Raina, but that little teeny bit of warming she did to Gabriel? It's gone. Kaputt. Her opinion of Gabriel is set right back to square one too. Fuck, she was soooo close to hanging herself about a year ago.
"Give the poor guy a break eh? If he committed suicide, hasn't he had enough shit already? I thought God was all forgiving?"
Gabriel looks at her and speaks with a calm tone. "God will forgive if you ask for forgiveness. However suicide you can't beg for forgiveness, it is an immortal sin. Which is a sin that stays with your soul till the stars burn out. God could forgive Jerry here, but Angels won't allow it." Gabriel pauses, "Life is God's most precious gift and nothing justifies taking it, especially from yourself. Angels are not allowed to allow a suicide victim to walk into heaven." Gabriel sighs thinking for a moment about Jerry. "You can thank Ms. Vivan for this Jerry." He raises two fingers to his mouth and upon taking them away Jerry falls to the ground. Gabriel looks at the motionless body and pulls out a bottle. After putting the liquid on his forehead and behind his neck Gabriel stands back up and walks away. He sits down and raises two fingers to his lips and up taking them away Jerry explosives and is burnt to dust. Gabriel cleans up the mess and puts him in an empty bottle. He looks over at Vivan. "There. I gave him a break."
And more of the mouth hanging open in horror. All the angels she's met were nice ones, maybe a bit snarky with the bad guys, but that was about it.
"So where's he gone? I mean his soul, where's his soul gone?", this is reason enough to pour herself another drink, not that she ever needs an excuse, her liver's probably already fucked to high hell, and she can down a liter and still be standing.
You know, today was one of the shittiest days she'd had in a long time.

She's already pouring herself a third glass of vodka. "You want another, or you just gonna keep swapping glasses?"

She also knows the deal with the alcohol, "Sucks to be an Angel, send me to hell anyday. You can still taste it though right?"

"Not that she's got any beef with me, but why the hell would a fucking angel go and do something like that? You do know about Raina I take it?"
