[ 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. ]

Standing in the parking lot and using some holy water to call up an angel, aka the thing we did a couple minutes ago until we almost got caught by Lightning Man.

Like junking all your words together with noises and stuff.

Seriously, did something happen? Did you guys get hurt? I'll totally go find someone to help, just like, give a thumbs up or somethin.

Okay, but you're the one who's hearing weird.

[Vague. Gestures.]

-- no, dude. I may not be able to figure out what exactly you're talking about but I can tell it's important.

If we're still doing something that's important to you guys, I want to help.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just shine a light into the wreckage)
