034 (Video) Gabriel's gotta set the world straight, okay?

[painhumbles]

[Gabriel is mainly posting this so everyone can see he's a cool customer again. Mostly. He's sprawled out on a chair and tilting back on two legs with his legs propped up on his desk and massaging his forehead. This is probably the most NOT ENTIRELY ZEN you will ever see Gabriel. This is... What feeling trapped and not able to do anything about

...Please don't tell me this is your way of pulling the "I'm no mere mortal human so I couldn't possibly be susceptible to the same mind games as everyone else and you can't understand my hidden pain, you silly human girl" card, too.

If that's not what this is, please continue with your moment of melodrama. I've never seen a melodramatic angel.

[painhumbles]

[LOL. SEE GABRIEL EVADE.]

Pfft. What? Why would you think that? Is someone pullin' that card on you? You want me to punch 'em until they talk about their pain? Or... Something.

Also, technically, we're all kinda melodramatic. It's sorta in the job description. I just gave it up when I turned in my halo with my two weeks.

[CISSIE SEES THROUGH THAT, GABE. SHE'S FRIENDS WITH THE MOST EVASIVE ROBIN.]

I dunno, I think it might be the whole preferring Jurassic Park to the Good Ship Lollipop thing. Did you get drunk and do terribly embarrassing things? That seems to be what most people are upset about. Certain Time Lords holding the weight of the universe on their shoulders excluded.

I suppose you have a point. What's the difference between melodrama and plain old drama, anyway? I've always wondered.

[painhumbles]

Jurassic Park makes sense. There are dinosaurs. If you don't get eaten, you live! It's as easy as franchise-based film-making.

I had a mustache and thought I was an international spy. My amnesia week was awesome.

Melodrama is when it's just so overdramatic, it's hilarious, instead of sad. Sometimes I go back through the Bible and remember the crap I used to say and just die a little.

[notarrowette]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure I'd get eaten. That doesn't sound like much fun. That franchise gave me nightmares; there's an entire generation terrified of velociraptors now.

At least there's that. I just tried to figure out if I was someone famous. I'm not.

Well, you could claim you were misquoted, but since you've admitted that it makes you die a little on the inside, it might negate that. If it's not the flood, what is inspiring tonight's bout of melodrama?

[Private]

[painhumbles]

Please. That's what the big strong godlike beings are for- being impressive and taking out the velociraptors. Or whatever.

[Hnnnngh. You are the only person he can't be mean and bitchy to, Cissie.]

Just... Been stuck on this boat too long. That four months out made the difference really noticeable.

In that case, if we land in Jurassic Park because of this, I'm expecting you to save me from the carnivores. I'll at least be smart enough not to use a port-o-potty, so I should be okay with the T-Rex, but still.

[This is her superpower, yo.]

Cabin Fever. It gets to the best of us. But I think I missed that while I was gone. It wasn't four months here though, right? Because I don't know how much I trust my concept of time and stuff after the ways our brains keep getting messed with. I was gone for two weeks and don't remember a second of it, which sucks. Is there stuff going on back home you're worried about?

[Private]

[painhumbles]

You got it.

[Yes, it is. BLONDES. GABRIEL'S ONLY WEAKNESS.]

It was two days.

[HNNNNNNN. ABORT. ABORT. ABORT. LIE MODE ON. ACT CASUAL.]

Not really. I just don't like being confined for this long.
