[It seems as if someone's found his way to the top of a very tall building, he's casually standing on a ledge but doesn't seem to fear falling at all. There's still daylight left but it's fading fast and the man doesn't seem to care at all. His gaze is fixed on the city below him as if searching for something.]So this is Siren's Port. Strange, I

[Chuck just... stares.

And stares.

And stares some more.

After a good twenty seconds of just staring, his expression crumples slightly, he backs his wheelchair up from the NV, and wheels away. The message is clear: I quit. I'm done.]

[Don't worry, Chuck, he'll still be here when you decide to actually talk to him. Waiting patiently for the prophet to come back. He's got all the time in the world.]

[paterelohim]

[He comes back fifteen minutes later, stressed and full of liquor.]

Okay. So. ["Full of" is a strong word- he's wielding a bottle of rum and a bowl of Easy Mac, at least, and they appear to be giving him strength.] Michael. [That wasn't his voice squeaking. Or cracking. Shut up.] You're- you're here.

Yep.

That sure did happen.

[servingfather]

[He's almost amused at the scene. The prophet with his bottle of liquor and microwavable food all tucked up in a wheelchair.]

It certainly did happen. Have you been drinking so much that you thought I was just a figment of your imagination, Chuck?

[That might be concern on his face but it's probably just an expression.]

[.........FUCK.]

[servingfather]

[Siiiisssster.]

[reaction]

[lostmygrace]

[No. You. Get out. Go back to Heaven. CANADA DOESN'T WELCOME YOU oh sweet daddy why are all the biggun's showing up.]

[reaction]

[servingfather]

[He would if he could, sis. There's a lot he has to look over back there, but since he's stuck you'll just HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.]

ACTION; ...Sob.

[painhumbles]

[Gabriel's on FULL SCALE PANIC MODE and his initial reaction is to RUN THE FUCK AWAY, but... He can't. No, really. He can't. And if he gives Michael a reason to seek him out, it'll make things worse.

So... Here he is. On the roof with Michael. Scared out of his mind, but not showing it.]

Sodom and Gomorrah, huh? Not one of my better moments. [He pauses] Hey, bro.

ACTION; Don't cry, it's a beautiful thing.

[servingfather]

[At first he doesn't acknowledge Gabriel's presence, as if it's not the first time in a long while they've spoken, as if there's not a few millenia to catch up on and that they possibly could be comfortable in each other's presence.

He tucks his hands into the coat of John's pockets along with the NV.]

Things were different back then. [They were big on trying to keep the humans in line. Finally he turns towards his brother.] Hello Gabriel.

ACTION;

[painhumbles]

Mikey. Good to see you. Welcome to Canada. [Gabriel's betraying no emotion- casual is his middle name, except for the air of nervous tension. How could he not be tense? Oh, he skipped town, went pagan, went against the family, went to Canada, knocked up a mutant teenager.

No big.]

ACTION;

[servingfather]

[Only a few could get away with calling him "Mikey", if it was anyone else he'd be giving them a warning look - one warning look. He can feel the tension and even knows the reason for it but he'll give Gabriel a chance to explain himself. Really he isn't even looking for why he ran away or anything to do with what happened in their world.

Now he turns to face Gabriel fully, hands still in his coat pockets.] Do you really think that?

[She's got on her sheep necklace - see icon - today and is cleaning her hands with a dirty rag.

She's also very devout and knows better than to make assumptions but she has to ask, it's the coyote in her:]

You have brothers in the city? If you give me a name I might be able to help.

[Video]

[servingfather]

[Michael's still just chilling on the roof, waiting for darkness. Or perhaps he's waiting for people like her.]

There's Lucifer, Gabriel and Castiel. They'll know I'm here. [He's not worried at all but he is interested to see her reaction.]

[Video]

[vw_coyote]

[She barely, barely has any reaction, but if you were in the garage with her, he'd smell the fear, the startlement, the... okay yes, she's shocked.]

And you're Michael.

[Her fingers flutters upwards and touches the golden sheep (Jesus was the Lamb of God) around her neck.]

Welcome to Canada.

[Video]

[servingfather]

[The small, seemingly insignificant movements are what draw his attention. He gives her a smile.]

That I am. It's quite an interesting version of Canada.

[The feed shows a woman in sleeping pants and long sleeved undershirt, sitting on the sofa. There's the sound of a radio playing vocal jazz in the background.]

Sonya Blade. [Her expression isn't so much calm but reserved.] Sodom and Gomorrah, eh. [She pauses, thinking a moment.] Sounds about adequate.

[servingfather]

[The scene itself isn't something he's curious about but the fact that she's encrypted makes him wonder.]

A pleasure to meet you, Sonya. All that sin but no one does anything to really stop it.

[She looked out the window, sightly frowning, before looking back.]

Because most of it's funded by AGI [she thinks it's a good thing that this is encrypted otherwise she wouldn't be talking.] One of the two major corporations here and in charge of most of the 'night life goings', they also have a lot of muscle and influence over the more 'g-rated' occupations.

As for the rest of us, there are some who try, but with two fractions practically running the city [She didn't so much shrug but she might've well done so.] There's also the fact that us 'new comers' aren't always that welcome here-any form of protest would be seen as nothing more than a 'problem' and not a means of improving the city.

[If they were in the business of interfering with human affairs then maybe he'd be all over wiping both of the companies from the face of the Earth but they don't - not anymore.]

It sounds as if they just make things very difficult for you. What else can you tell me about the companies? The things they don't freely advertise to get new recruits.
