[Balthazar is good with a lot of things, but technology isn't one of them. When the video comes up, it's showing an extreme close-up of his mouth and chin. When Bal realizes that he has the little thing turned on, he pulls it back to a more comfortable distance. He's in the bedroom he arrived in, his mask abandoned on the bed.A dream city. It's a

Sure, bro. It's for roleplaying. And if you don't wear it, the guards'll spank you. How far d'you want this bit to go?

[He raises his mask a bit so Balthazar can see his pleased expression.]

Welcome to the new version of "paradise," Balthazar.

[menageablank]

[......

Holy shit.]

The standards for Paradise have fallen considerably if this makes the cut.

... Gabriel? [He knows it's him, but he still can't really believe it.]

[painhumbles]

[In what can only be the worst British accent EVER, since he sounds like Mrs. Doubtfire after three cigarettes.] New World Order, guv.

[And back down again goes the mask and off with the British accent.] How's faking your death going?

[menageablank]

[That inspires a huff of laughter. Yeah, that's Gabriel.]

You know, retirement is more action-packed than advertised. Should I be asking you the same question?

[cyprian_swan]

Oh, the masks are quite necessary if you wish to leave your room, dearheart~

[The tilde is equally strong in his voice. Hello, pretty goddess thing.]

And should I decide against it, darling?

[video]

[cyprian_swan]

They get quite upset. I've grown to like the masks. They give one mystery and I do enjoy the wonder.

I'll take "they" to mean the strangely oppressive King and Queen I keep hearing about. Funny little rules they have.

You wear yours very well, although I'm sure what you're hiding underneath is much better.

[ Tessa just smiles in amusement, adjusting her own mask. Another face she knows of and really, she shouldn't be happy to see him but it's not like he knows her. Probably know what she is though... ]

It's a minor detail you can bypass, can't you?

[menageablank]

[Eyeroll.] For now, I suppose. I'm merely dwelling on the injustice of it. To cover this up?

[He gestures towards his face before sighing like it's a terrible crime. He looks at his Portal with renewed interest. A reaper, here?]

This is getting more and more interesting.

[scythedown]

That was the intention when they were first used, you know. An unknown identity in order to mingle with people you wouldn't usually.

[ Huh, funny how her words ring for more than just the masks on their faces. ]

What, seeing familiar faces? Or is it the unfamiliar ones that are more interesting.

[menageablank]

I don't need a mask to do that, sweetheart.

Both. You, you're from my side of the tracks, yes?

[pale_capslock]

I ALMOST FEEL CHEATED THAT I'M NOT THE AZRAEL OF YOUR WORLD WITH HOW MANY OTHER RELATIONS HAVE APPEARED BEFORE YOU.

[ video ]

[menageablank]

[Whoa, Big Daddy Death. Only... not quite like the one from his neck of the woods. Huh.]

It's been a long time since I've caught up with Azrael, but I don't remember him being quite so... bony.

[ video ]

[pale_capslock]

AS I SAID, DIFFERENT WORLDS.

[ Omnipresence has its perks once again. ]

MY UNDERSTANDING FROM CASTIEL IS THAT YOUR WORLD HAS THREE DEATHS: THE IDEA, THE ANGEL, AND THE HORSEPERSON. IN MY WORLD, I AM ALL THREE.

[menageablank]

[While this is all wildly fascinating, only one part of that sentence is sticking with him at the moment.]

Castiel? He is here?

[stolethename]

It could be used for roleplay~

[menageablank]

Are you offering?

[stolethename]

I could be.

[menageablank]

It's been a very stressful day. I can't tell you how good blowing off some steam sounds right about now.
