Outside Our Lady of Fandom, Early Thursday morning
Gabriel carried the picnic basket that Mary had brought him yesterday. Cat paced around his legs, staring up at him.
"Time to go." He lowered the basket and Cat jumped into it. Then he looked up at the sky, squinting. "Looks like they'll have a busy weekend." Then he smiled at Cat. "Well, we'll miss it."
He spread his wings, took a step forward, and ( Read more... ) -
Just another info post
Gabriel is from the Prophecy movies. Yes, he's the archangel, played by Christopher Walken. He's not nice at all. When he arrived in Fandom he had been turned mortal after a disagreement with Michael. He was stuck in Fandom and ended up staying in the church.

Our Lady of Fandom, Monday
The church was full of birds. Evil, noisy, strange-looking birds, who made Cat hide under a pew and hiss when anything approached. Gabriel tried to scare them off by playing the trumpet, causing even more noise.
The church was open, but it wasn't a place for silent prayer today. -
Our Lady od Fandom, Friday night
Gabriel opened his eyes. Whatever some people might think, there was a huge difference between angels and vultures. He let out a displeased noise aimed at Cat, and then another one at God. Neither seemed to be listening.
[I'll be away until Tuesday evening. Until then Gabriel is a vulture.] -
Outside the church, Monday morning
Gabriel had to admit that this Easter had been a surprisingly good one. Well, at least the ending, but that was the most important part, especially when it came to Easter.
Karal had been right. It almost made him laugh. Mortals tended to get things messed up, but the boy saw clearly a lot of the time. Maybe his god was really giving him a hint or ( Read more... ) -
An L.A. suburb, Friday afternoon
"I hate this place," Gabriel said, looking up at the sky. "The City of Angels. Hah! As if!" He kicked a beer can littering the sidewalk, sending it flying across the street. "Did we really have to pay that taxi driver to get here?" he asked Karal. "I mean, we could have just walked off." Then he turned his head, sniffing. Even with the useless ( Read more... ) -
Our Lady of Fandom, Wednesday around lunch
The Cat prowled the aisle of the church as Gabriel sat on the altar, drinking a cup of cold coffee and chewing on a dry donut. "Want another mouse?" he asked the small predator as she crouched, making a sudden attack at a piece of paper. Cat paid him no attention, her eyes only on her target. Gabriel snorted, then emptied the cup.
( The church doors were flung open... ) -
The Park, Morning
Stepping out of the shadows, the stranger's head turned slowly, his black eyes taking in the surroundings. Then he took another step and his eyes turned normal, but there was still a lack of warmth. With a sudden, too fast movement, almost like a bird, he took position on a nearby bench.
[Open only to those who know who they are, please!] -
Our Lady of Fandom, Thursday morning
He was dying. Gabriel had crawled out of bed, woken up by nightmares where he had been afflicted by every known epidemic through history, while God himself had laughed at him. Having unbolted the door, he had collapsed on the floor, too tired and uncertain what to do next. He looked up at the ceiling. "You really, really, think I deserve this?"
