For want of inspiration

I'm sitting on a cloud holding a strawberry milkshake, my legs dangling over the side and swinging to and fro. As I suck more of the frothy liquid through the straw I hum to myself a random tune and one that turns out sounding rather good. Setting down my shake I pick up the lyre that rests on my knees and try to play what I am humming. Reaching a

Hi! I'm Elijah. I just got here too. *I smile* It's pretty cool up here, isn't it? Where'd you get the Strawberry shake? I'm still figuring things out here.

Hello! My name's David, or Dave whatever you prefer. And yes, it is beautiful here, with lots of other beautiful angels too!

*Looking at my milkshake*

This? You kinda just imagine you're holding one I guess and it appears in your hand.

*looks at his hand and imagines he's holding a chocolate malt milkshake.*

.....

*looks more. Imagines more.*

.....

It's not working.

*looks at David* It's not working.

*squints eyes and tries again, concentrating real hard.*

*Giggles softly as your face screws up in concentration*

*Summons one and hands it to you*

Here. Try demanding it to appear, I dunno. It just happens!

Re:

[heavenly_lij]

*sips on the milkshake you hand me*

Not bad.

*tries again*

*sighs*

It's got to be the technique. I'm doing something wrong. *shrugs and sips more on existing milkshake.*

Re:

[angel_dave]

You'll get the hang of it eventually. Took me several days before I managed to do it.

*shrugs*

I am still a novice though. You might want to ask one of the angels who has been here longer about things like that.

Re:

[heavenly_lij]

Yeah, I was talking about it with Sean. He said the same thing. Couple of days and I'll get the hang of it. *shrugs* So... how long have you been here? And... what happened?

*pulls up some cloud and sits next to David, still sipping on milkshake*

Re:

[angel_dave]

Me? Arrived here a week ago, newly ruffled and in a bit of a state. I had been directing a new film and we were shooting a murder scene. I was showing the actor how I wanted it to look and, well, must've used the wrong knife. We had a real one and a rubber one y' know.

*strums a little*

What about you? Must've been pretty hectic what with it being so sudden and all.

Re:

[heavenly_lij]

Hmm... plane crash. On the way to a press junket. Only days after getting the last of filming done, too. Just fell asleep and the next thing I knew I was here. *shrugs* But yeah, it's been quite a shock.

Re:

[angel_dave]

Damn, that was just unlucky. You'll like it here though, I'm sure of it. As long as you don't mind happy fluffy stuff!

Re:

[heavenly_lij]

Heh... happy and fluffy sounds good by me. *smiles brightly at David* It's actually pretty great around here. Umm... you know, as far as havign to be here in the first place goes, anyway. *shrugging* Everyone's been really great so far, though.

Re:

[angel_dave]

*Smiles back and pats your shoulder*

Isn't it! Everyone's lovely, nice scenery, lovely bouncy clouds to sit on and you don't even have to pay for the shakes!

*leans in closer and whispers*

Oh, word of advice, be careful should you meet a Demon. Bit of a bad press for 'em around here, shouldn't be trusted. Never met one meself but just in case!

Re:

[heavenly_lij]

Yeah, everyone's been warning me about the demons. Wow, umm... they don't come up here, do they? I mean, what all do they do? Someone told me a couple of times a demon captured an angel and took them away? *looks slightly nervous*

Re:

[angel_dave]

I'm not entirely sure I'm afraid. I think they can though, if not we meet them on Earth anyway and that can be pretty scary in itself.

*Eyes widen*

They did?? I wasn't told anything about that!

*Pouts*

No fair! Well, just keep your wits about you eh? Anything can happen!
