24 - Gabriel - Video

[hung_garian]

[Gabriel looks a little uncomfortable when he pops up on screen. The pain's not even that bad, but to anyone who knows him, it shouldn't be a surprise to discover that he's still a huge baby about the mildest discomfort.]

I'm sure we're gonna be inundated with complaints about this before long if it is an experiment, buuuuut... all you people with

What do you mean something up?! My wings are gone!

[hung_garian]

Gone?

[He's taken aback for a moment.]

I guess since you're pretty small, maybe whatever's going on in our backs is doing whatever it is faster in yours. Uh... hate to be insensitive here, Ginger, but gone as in you just woke up and - poof - gone?

[adashofrain]

Kind of!!! They're gone and now there are these lumps where they were and they hurt!

[hung_garian]

Oh, see, now that explains it all. Didja put the old ones under your pillow for the wing fairy?

[adashofrain]

What?! No-- ew! No! They're just gone!

[hung_garian]

Oh. Well, I guess you won't get any money off her, then. Sorry.

[Sorry, Dash, he is taking you seriously, honestly. He just doesn't feel like acting as if he is.]

[adashofrain]

Why would I want money anyway?! I just want my wings.

[hung_garian]

Maybe if you ask real nice, she'll give 'em back. You can stick them onto those mysterious lumps.

[adashofrain]

She'd better. I did a lot to keep them.

D-do you know what the test is? Is this it?

[hung_garian]

It sure seems like the test. I doubt unexplained back pain is the entirety of the test, 'cause that'd just be too easy, but I'd bet my wings that it's part of it.

[adashofrain]

So... do you still have your wings?

[hung_garian]

For now, yeah.

[adashofrain]

Lucky... I just get... weird bulgy things.

[hung_garian]

Everyone's got those, sweetheart, don't sweat it. Or... do, probably.

[adashofrain]

As long as they're the test... I hope they give me my wings back.

[hung_garian]

If they don't, sue the fairy and beg 'em off Santa Claus.
