[The video clicks on and plays over part of a vividly colored graffiti mural - only part, because it cuts off sharply after three feet as the wall entirely changes color and composition. Half of a guy on a skateboard is visible before the cutoff line.] Would ya look at that? Heartbreakin'. Awful clean edge for new construction, too

Coffee is difficult to procure, however some here may have supplies.

The Clinic is likely the best location for new arrivals, though I have heard there is another temporary lodging building begun by Riku.

[Video] hello there fellow angel~

[greatcuppajoe]

Hmm, two of 'em? I've gotten directions ta the clinic, but nobody mentioned the other place. You happen ta know where it's at?

[Video] Y halo thar~

[wingsandwill]

[There's a delay while he scrolls through back entries on his PCD, before he sends coordinates.]

[x,y]

I know little about the state of the building, however it's intended for those who have just arrived who don't wish to go to the Clinic, and I know work was done on it specifically for this purpose.

[Video] So to speak. XD

[greatcuppajoe]

Thanks. [Smiles.] Not sure where I'll hole up for the moment, but lookin' can't hurt.

Sanae Hanekoma. You?

It's also valid to claim anywhere uninhabited that seems liveable, and some here have extra space they will be willing to provide to others.

Castiel.

Might just grab someplace that doesn't look like it'll fall on me an' call it a day.

[He raises his eyebrows at the name, expression innocently curious.] Interestin' name you got there. Where're ya from?

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

That's the general idea for long-term residency as well.

[Hm. Well, there have been a few here that have asked about his name here or even recognized it for what it is, but it's still a little surprising every time it happens. Considering he's barely known even in his own world.

And he doesn't bother to hide what he is, considering it's next to impossible here and somewhat pointless even if he is powerless at the moment.]

Heaven.

[greatcuppajoe]

[Hanekoma falls silent for a moment, thinking furiously. Sure, he recognizes the -el ending; he'd found it funny to read up on different traditions. He's never met anyone who actually used it, though, and 'Heaven'... that's a funny way to put it.

Some kind of alternate. The question now is just how close it is, and how much communication there might be.]

So correct me if I've got this wrong, but that makes you an angel, huh?

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

[His head tilts to the side slightly during the period of silence, just watching. At the question, he nods slightly.]

Correct.

[And he's watching carefully for any reaction to that news; it tends to be interesting.]

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe]

[Hanekoma just makes a thoughtful noise, one hand on his chin.]

They bring all kindsa people in here. So, what do angels do, exactly?

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

Here or in our world?

[And he's quiet a moment then, before asking his own question.]

You seem unsurprised. Are there angels in your world?

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe]

At home. I figure here you're probably doin' the same thing as anybody else - tryin' to get yourself home in one piece.

There's plenty of stories. [Smiles.] And some guy already warned me that you've got Lucifer runnin' around, so it's not that much of a surprise.

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

Essentially.

[Or get elsewhere in one piece, at any rate. And answering the question of what an angel does in their world actually isn't easy anymore.]

We are supposed to be warriors of God, doing His will.

[Not that such a thing happens anymore. He nods slightly in understanding.]

Legends of angels seem to be known in many worlds. And yes, Lucifer is here; all of the angels present are from the same world. We are all siblings.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe]

[That's quite a load off his mind. He smiles, and a very keen eye might catch the faint release of tension in his shoulders. Whatever world they're from, Angels are something very different there.

That might mean he's safe.]

All? How many of ya are there?

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

[Castiel is horribly oblivious to all of such things, so he doesn't notice at all, simply answering the question.]

There are six of us present, including myself.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe]

Big family. [A smile.] Thanks for puttin' up with my curiosity, Castiel. I'll probably see ya around! Place doesn't seem that big.
