[ The water begins to bubble, rising up and up in the bowl like a fountain, until it spills out of the bowl in waves, soaking into the dirt and around them. Still, though it overflows, the bowl seems no less empty than before - and the water climbs up and up and up, until the fountain becomes the gentle waterfall of a small stream no bigger than the circumference of the bowl. Through the waterfall, you can see -

Like a broken tail light, flickering and inconsistent in its brightness, a lump of faulty lighting takes center stage of the waterfall, by and large covered up by the tattered, human-like skinsuit you could recognize as Mehniel, though their outer layer is torn enough that you can see bits of feather and fur poking out, and on the floor around them are abandoned bits of feather and hair too, dim light now that they've been torn out. Behind them you can catch the vague shape of something, though you'll largely see the lights illuminating it from underneath a bevelled stone indent in the ground. Currently, the lights are a dull, constant red. If you squint you can see a glimpse of the wall behind; on it are hieroglyphs, unreadable to you. ]

[ n- nothing!!! ]

[ …hm. ] Is anyone with you now… or are you alone? Have you heard them say anything? Every little bit helps. [ his gaze drops briefly. ] I- I’m so sorry this happened, Mehniel.

My senses have been stripped from me so I could not say exactly. But there is none in this room, at least.

[ with a pause ]

They are trying to access Heaven. They believe me to be the key to it.

[ he curses under his breath. ]

If that’s the case, then we have to rescues you before they have a chance to try, but… where could they have taken you… [ trails off, bringing a hand to his chin. ] Burned legs demon might be her. [ but he’s not sure she would keep the angel in her penthouse, though the increased security might say otherwise. ] I don’t recognize the others. Is there anything else you can tell me about them or the room you’re in? Is that a tomb?

. . . I don't recognize two of them. The one that crackled like lightning was a comrade of mine.

[ frown ]

I woke up here. It seems like some sort of tomb, yes.

Do you remember their name? If so, could you spell it for me or even give me the first few letters?

And which was the other one you recognized?

[ a tomb means that he's most likely underground and there are probably one a few ( if even that ) routes that go from 'a' to 'b'. an escape is going to be difficult... ]

Well, the other would be "her" - I don't recognize her either, but you seem to.

[ considering for a moment, before

their head splits open, skin peeling back for bright faulty light - and there's that metal screeching, punctuated with clangs ]

I think I might anyway. [ the messenger. ]

[ he'll have to ask king about it for confirmation. ]

[ and then mehniel's head splits open and oh, uhm, hm...
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. the noise doesn't bother him as much as it probably should, because he's a BIT too preoccupied staring at his split head and peeled skin. ]

...ahhhhmmm...

[ words. ]

I... don't speak Angel. Is there a translation of some kind you can give me?

[ the light recedes, skinsuit pulling back up ]

I don't know how to spell in your language!

Damn. [ so much for that. ]

I'm assuming since it's a tomb it's one way in and one way out and... [ he looks over mehniel again. ] making an attempted escape in your condition is out of the question. Do you think there's anything beneath the, uh, tomb?

[ secret passage? ]

[ it's a long shot, sure, but he did fall through a wall into mehniel's room, so anything's possible! ]

It's some sort of light fixture. I can't tell if it can be moved or not.

[ he's probably in no shape to make an attempt, so he's not even going to ask. ]

You said they think you're the key to getting into Heaven. Do you know of a place they could exploit? Or, ah, think they could exploit? Kind of like when we all managed to get in...

None, whatsoever!

[ . . . pained wince ]

[ lifts his hands up. ]

Alright alright. I guess they're going to brute force their way in... somehow... so... [ so what? they could break into pythia's like they'd originally planned, since it seemed like she had definitely arrived on the scene at some point. ] you just hang in there, alright? We'll do what we can to track you down and get you out of there before they can... before they can hurt you anymore than they already have...

Very well. Hm.

I cannot spell his name, but I will tell you that he is related to sheep and storms!

[ nods. ok, this is a lot, so he'll take a few notes that absolutely won't make sense later. ]

I'll see what I can dig up on him. [ everything he's said should be enough to help. ] Do you think you'll be ok in the meantime? It looks like they messed you up pretty bad...

They have provided enough light that I can survive. With rest, I will be able to heal from this - but it will take quite some time.

So light heals you? Is that the only thing?

All angels may be healed by light and by holy water blessed by an angel of healing. I can bless my own water, if I could have any water here, but whether or not it would heal is up in the air.

I'm assuming they know that, so they probably won't give you any water...

We have some holy water and we can make sure to carry lights on us too.

That'd be most appreciated. Thank you.
