Well. I haven't been here for a day, and already, I sense it- I think we all do- this place has its moments.

But one can't stay here forever. I made a deal..., as have many of you, if I'm correct. [ his voice sounds as though he's smiling ] And I've the feeling it's much easier said than done, huh?

I'm impatient, I have to admit. To know what ( Read more... )

Hello! You weren't here for tea earlier. Would you like some for your deck walk?

justareverie September 16 2011, 01:55:48 UTC

Please, I love tea. And where was "here"?

can_has_vodka September 16 2011, 02:11:45 UTC

I don't know what the exact position in spacetime the Barge was when I went round with the tea-cart.

I shall be up with a pot of water and pick your tea on the spot! That's the best way to steep herbs.

Do you startle easy?

justareverie September 16 2011, 02:21:21 UTC

[ Although you can't see it, he's smiling. ]

Why, I guess not? Chances are I've seen worse.

can_has_vodka September 16 2011, 02:53:42 UTC

Right! Let me get a pot of hot water together and I'll pop up to the garden's entrance.

[...by which she means literally, suddenly appearing some minutes later near the rose arbor, with a teapot and a pair of cups in her hands.]

Hullo?

Spammity! justareverie September 16 2011, 03:22:05 UTC

[He's making his way towards the rose arbor when he sees you appear, and it catches him off guard, but in a good way, instantly realizing who it is. He laughs and waves, a smile at the cups of tea - it's been ages since he last had one.]

Hey! I'm impressed. Is that inherent to you? Or did you learn it?

Spammity! can_has_vodka September 16 2011, 03:35:12 UTC

It is both! The Freakangels all were born with a package of abilities that we're slowly accessing as we grow more and more aware. We learn, you see, and grow stronger and more versatile as we do. I'm the psychonaut of the group--out in front, holding the lantern. I just learned to jump around like that a few months ago, but it should be terribly useful here!

[She sets the tea service on the little wrought iron table and lifts the teapot lid. Minty steam.]

Re: Spammity! justareverie September 16 2011, 04:03:27 UTC

Freakangels? [Smiles] This place is full of surprises.

A psychonaut, as in, you can access people's minds and stuff? I hope you don't think I'm rude. It's just very out of the ordinary where I come from.

[He breaths in the mint tea deeply, waits a little before drinking it. ]

So. How'd you end up here?

Spammity! can_has_vodka September 16 2011, 04:40:01 UTC

We're freaks, yes, but we're trying to be angels.

You're not rude! You're curious! I prefer curious. What people know, what becomes familiar, is more likely to be comforting rather than what's strange and unexplained. I'm here to work with you and the others and without some trust, where are we?

I made a deal with the Admiral for the sake of my world's London, which is flooded. It's to help rebuild, and help keep the people safe while things are rebuilt.

Spammity! justareverie September 17 2011, 16:05:25 UTC

That's very true. I think... The upper ones should learn from that.

[ He sips in some tea for a little silence. He's not sure if he can trust this much in return - the past's made him wary. ]

Then again, they're the ones giving out our chance, aren't they. You're noble of wishing to rebuild your London. It's... selfless.

Spammity! can_has_vodka September 17 2011, 17:03:22 UTC

I think some of the true angels are still groping after enlightenment like we are. Some of the gods too.

[It isn't selfless; London broke because they broke it, however unintentionally. Her eyes flicker briefly, but then she finds her smile again.]

Selflessness isn't selfless when you realize how we're all connected. My "me" is bigger than my skin. If you can perceive it, things become much simpler.

I could show you, but it would be a little odd.

Spammity! justareverie September 18 2011, 21:49:45 UTC

It's no fun if we could just learn everything without any effort. Not that bad to know angels have it just the same.

[ The ghost of a smile flickers in his expression, reaching his eyes first. What Arkady just say evokes something familiar, he did feel that way back at the island, his island. ]

No, no - I know what you mean. I also think it, that we're all connected, and somehow - interwined as well. Just never... put it into words. Not much anyway. But realizing it makes everything fall in place.

[ At the last part, he just stares on, not daring to say anything about something he obviously doesn't know. ]

Spammity! can_has_vodka September 18 2011, 23:04:33 UTC

Intellectual breakthroughs notwithstanding, it's true. People need to earn what they get.

I can put it into words, but sending telepathic images is easier. But it takes some getting used to.

Spammity! justareverie September 18 2011, 23:21:33 UTC

...earning things. Isn't this what this place is all about? [ He smiles, comforted. ]

Sending images over at my head like an instant message? [ At first he chuckles amusedly, but it turns into a frown when he realizes it may not be the first time. ]

Spammity! can_has_vodka September 19 2011, 03:55:12 UTC

It is! And there is so much to do, but we will do it! And it's going to be brilliant. Rocky, but brilliant.

[A soft smile]

More like a glimpse of Google Earth.

Spammity! justareverie September 19 2011, 22:25:06 UTC

[He smiles back, quite trustingly. He makes a dubious pause as he idly toys with the half-empty cup.]

...you do have an Inmate, already, don't you?
