I should be carrying the sun. I am a warrior. I am a fighter. I died a noble death. I have earned my place in the heavens

[Private. Because he's SO SMOOTH.]

[painhumbles]

[YEAH, SO. GABE'S NOT AS FAMILIAR WITH YOU SOUTH AMERICAN PAGAN TYPES, BUT... He still has a bucket list. And enough know-how to figure out what all those big foreign words mean- THANK YOU ANGEL POWERS. So he's gonna... Break out that Trickster angle again and see how long he can keep that up. BECAUSE THAT ALWAYS WORKS WITH YOU DANGEROUS GODDESS TYPE WOMEN AND NEVER ENDS BADLY FOR HIM. (See: It does. Always.)]

Hate to break it to you, sister, but you took one bad left turn at Albuquerque. 'Course, you've probably already figured that out by now.

[It's probably a good thing this isn't video right now, because Gabriel's making some pretty hilarious faces right now. As it stands... You just have to put up with him trying to make factual evidence sound sexy. Chyeah.]

[Private] (oh Gabe, you are smooth and you know it. :D)

[leadsthestars]

[Try harder, Gabe. She's making this face :|]

This is what I have been told. I am dead, there are wardens and inmates, and a god named the Admiral who grants wishes.

[Private] LIKE BUTTAH.

[painhumbles]

[HE LIKES IT WHEN THEY PLAY HARD-TO-GET. :D]

The Admiral- Sure. Why not? Hell, he's cruel and capricious enough to be one. [Yeah, Gabriel's hatred of the Admiral, aside, there is a sexy lady. Back to her now.]

Have you figured out you're an Inmate yet? That's the important part. On one hand, it means you're kinda low tier on the totem pole... On the other, it means you have an instant get-out-of-jail free card if you, uh, I dunno... Change your ways and accept the path of righteousness.

I didn't read all the fine print.

[ARE YOU IMPRESSED YET? EVENTUALLY, HE'LL HAVE TO STOP BEING SUBTLE AND THEN YOU CAN BE REALLY UNIMPRESSED WITH HIS LIFE.]

[Private]

I have come to understand this. Yes, I am an inmate. I did not make any deal for a wish from this admiral and I have died.

I know how beings with power work. I know how gods who rule the underworld think.

I see no reason to change my ways. I do not see why I must accept anything. I do see why I am here though.

What of you? Are you an inmate or a warden?

[Private]

[painhumbles]

That's a loaded question. Technically, I'm a Warden, but I'd like to think I'm an unaffiliated spectator. [Which is Gabriel for "I dunno. I just live here."]

So you got a name with all those affirmations or do I have to start going down the list?

[Private]

[leadsthestars]

Then you made a deal to be here. You have a wish.

[Oh look, she wants to be coy!] List? What sort of list?

[Private]

[painhumbles]

[YEAH. FAT LOT OF GOOD IT DOES HIM NOW. RUB IT IN, LADY.

...Over it now.]

I know a lot of goddesses. Call it the pagan little black book. [SHE PROBABLY HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. HE DOESN'T CARE. LOOK. HE'S SAYING WORDS. APPRECIATE HIS CHARMING WORDS.]

[Private]

[leadsthestars]

Then you must know my mother, Coatlicue.

[Private]

[painhumbles]

[CRAAAAAAAAAP. WHY DIDN'T HE EVER GO TO SOUTH AMERICA? EVERYONE GOES TO MEXICO. HE LIKED NEW MEXICO AND THOUGHT WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO SEE WHAT THE OLD MODEL? See Gabriel. See Gabriel flounder.]

We didn't really run in the same circles. I was kinda un occupado with a couple of Hindu chicks when things were really hot and heavy in that area, and those are two spices that don't go great together.

[No. He does not realize that is just a really offensive thing to say to someone you're flirting with. WHAT? LOUD NOISES.]

[Private]

[leadsthestars]

[NONE of what he just said made any sense to her. But hey. She won't turn away a chatty guy.]

Tell me your name first, then I will consider speaking to you further.
