[ 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. ]

-- 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.

Definitely not that interested in their kinks.

Plus, you're already wanted. I don't-- I'm not interested in making you do more stupid stuff for no reason.

Going on a mission if you can't read the brief's just a bad idea.

[ looks at the others. ]

... if it took five of us before I don't see how you're going to work it out with just the two of you now.

Gimme whatever deets you can, I'll do my best to make sense of it.

We called the angel.

Someone grabbed him, probably P. Looks like the room they stuck him in is at Azzy's place, though. We tried to get info about where they took him, and why, and how. Then the goon squad showed up and he cut the call short.

We all bolted. Tall, blond, and smiley caught you guys up before we made it out.

Kay. Now you go. Say back what you heard.

Yeah... Maybe that guy knows. He did it, so he should be able to undo it, right? Just gotta find 'im...
