006 - [Video]

[At first, there's no indication that the NV is even ON, considering it's fucking dark, but then something lights a match... And then really all you can see is a few shadows and the vague shape of a hand holding said match. And then suddenly Gabriel speaking.]

I know what you're thinking. Blackout, mass murderer on the loose- this probably sounds

You took out the culprit?

[She's a bit late on the update, but from what she'd heard and read; mass murderer on the rampage. Grounds for notice, in any case.]

[painhumbles]

Took out, scared shitless and handed over to the police... It's all the same, really.

[The real answer is... A lot more complicated, but whatevs.]

[createsoblivion]

[Little nods]

And... You're alright? [Genuine concern here. And it's not that sarcastic crap you love.]

Thank you.

[painhumbles]

[ASIDE FROM THE BROKEN RIBS AND THE MASSIVE INTERNAL BLEEDING AND THE PUNCTURED ORGANS?

Yep. Never better.]

It was kinda anticlimactic. [If you can can call... The police being called because they managed to blow a city block... Anticlimactic. SENSING A PETTERN HERE YET?] Just doing my part to, uh, "contribute" to the community.

[createsoblivion]

Well, thank you all the same. [SAVED HER THE JOB, YO. I mean what.]

[Wait- Manners.] My name's Aqua. [Can she know the name of her ~*~savior~*~, pun intended.] You are?

[painhumbles]

It's Gabriel. Welcome to the elite club of people with no last names. I'll get you a member's jacket when I can see four feet in front of my face again.

[createsoblivion]

[It's almost too dark to see; but her apartment has candles galore, so her grin isn't hard to miss.]

So where are you from, Gabriel? [Testing out the name; definitely not one she's heard before.]

[painhumbles]

Eh. A little bit of here and a little bit of there. I get around.

[createsoblivion]

You travel the worlds, as well? [And you're not a Keyblader? How strange!]

[painhumbles]

More like states. My frequent flier miles don't cover alternate dimensions.

[createsoblivion]

I don't think I've ever heard of 'states'. At least, not the kind you're probably thinking of.

[painhumbles]

Earth's a little hard to grasp for most people. It's a complicated little marble.

[createsoblivion]

Oh- You're from Earth then. [Thoughtful pause.]

So you're from... here? [Terra had said this place was on a planet called Earth, hadn't he?]

[painhumbles]

Here being pretty friggin' relastive. I don't think Canada has a souped-up version of Alcatraz on the map where I come from.

[createsoblivion]

[She nods, considering. It was a little.. Grotesque for a home-planet. Not that she was going to judge.]

Oh. [Because, go figure, your references are lost on her. She's like Castiel. ..With tits. And a little more personality- but the monotony is down to a T.]

[painhumbles]

You got none of that, huh?
