[ 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. ]

Favor for a friend.

[ and that's about all he knows. ]

You must be close.

I'd do anything for a friend... so how about it? I'm worried about them.

Gotta say, the kid's pretty lucky there.

Sorry, though. Thou shalt not pass and all, can't let you be hoodlums over here.

And there's no way you could be coerced to... step aside...?

[ come on. ]

. . . Tell you what. You turn around and go through the front door, and we can forget you tried to pull this stunt.

[ he looks among his friends. ]

I... I don't think we can.

[ we're here for a reason... ]

You gotta work with me here, kid. I'm on the clock.

Information. What can you tell us about our missing friend?

Kid wet the bed til he was seventy two.

[ ...stares. ]

[ his fault for not being more specific. ]

Are they here?

Hahaha! Nah.

I'm guessing I can't get an actual where from you? So what are you securing here? Gotta be something inside worth keeping an eye on.

Hey, is it really all that weird? You have security detail for your celebrities and politicians, right?

[ shrug. ]

Don't know. Memory's a bit fuzzy. Wonder why that is.

[ sure, he remembers non angel related things, but he can play it up a bit. ]

Well, that's how things are. To stop delinquents like you from straying from the path, or whatever.

And what path would that be? I guess I've strayed so far I can't see it anymore.

Not breaking any laws . . . ? Guy, are you okay?

[ ha. ]

[ hahaha. ]

[ AHAHAHAHAHAHA. ]

Do I look like I'm okay? [ the third eye on his forehead opens and begins glowing as he slaps a hand over his chest, still laughing, golden blood oozing out from behind his palm and soaking his shirt. ]

. . .

Ooooooooookay. Dude.

I am not okay.

And I haven't been for a few days.

How could I be?

I want to know where my friend is.

You don't even remember him.
