For want of inspiration

[angel_dave]

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

Well, Hello there! I'm Angel Ewan!

*I cease my sucking and look up*

Hullo Ewan, nice to meet you! I'm Angel Dave, recently deceased. Have you come to inspire me?

[angelewan]

*Smiling at you*

Well, I don't know. What inspires you Dave?

*settling in beside you*

Re:

I'm not really sure. Sucking this straw seems to help though.

*Looking to you*

Do you like music?

[angelewan]

*nodding as you talk about sucking through the straw*

I love music. What do you remember of your previous life Dave? Were you a musician?

Re:

Hmm, let's see. I was the youngest of seven children, the runt of the litter. I always wanted to entertain people, it made me happy to see other people laugh and so that took me into theatre work. But I've always loved music, I was just never given the to chance to perfect it.

*hugging the lyre to my chest*

Now I have that opportunity. I think it's beautiful the way you can display all of your deepest emotions in one song a tune.

*smiling at you*

And what of you Ewan? How came you to be here?

[angelewan]

*nodding*

Seven children! Wow...what a wonderful family you must have had! And now you have the chance to play? That is so great!

*thinking*

I am not sure how I came to be here. I was an actor and we were filming the third Star Wars prequel. There was an accident. That's really all I know.

*smiling at you*

But I love it here. It's so beautiful and everyone is so nice. We get to help the less fortunate on earth, and I have finally found my true love!

Re:

True love? Wow that's fantastic! What is he or she like? They must be really lucky to have you as they're lover.

*sighing wistfully*

I long to have someone to give my love to. I have so much to give! It's nice being able to help people, makes living worthwhile. And yes, I find it so peaceful here too, so pretty.

*goes back to sucking for a while*

I don't know exactly how I died. I was having a go at directing a film and I was showing one of the actors how I wanted them to perform a scene where they were stabbed. I guess I stabbed myself two handspands too high.

*beaming as I think about my one true love*

His name is Craig and he is so beautiful and sweet. *gazes off dreamily before snapping back*

Oh..sorry. I'm sure you will find true love as well. There are many beautiful angels around here that might strike your fancy. What kind of person would you want in your life Dave?

Re:

[angel_dave]

*Sucking vigorously now contemplating the question*

Someone who is different from me. I'd find it a bit dull if I loved someone similar to myself. Someone who will appreciate my music!

*laughing softly*

Like that's ever going to happen!

I have to admit I'm a bit of a thrill seeker too, probably not your ordinary angel I guess. So hopefully someone who wil be fun and exciting to be around.

*finishing my milkshake and upending the glass, catching a lone drop in my mouth*

[angelewan]

*thinking*

Hmmm...sounds like you kind of know what you want. I feel certain you will find your soulmate Dave! And he or she will be a very lucky angel!

*seeing you are all out of milkshake I produce another one and hand it to you*

Here..you really seem to like the strawberry ones yeah?

Re:

[angel_dave]

*blushing at your compliment*

Yeah well, let's just see what comes up.

*I really want someone to love and be loved, just like you. It seems this Craig and youself are so happy together and it makes me happy too. Taking the milkshake from you*

Thank you! I love strawberries!
