[ 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. ]

[snorts a little]

Okay, I'll bite. Tell me the tale of your bad romance. I'm hoping for some super star-crossed lovers schmooze. Jerk some tears, Anon.

Well, to start at the beginning - angels can't have lovers, see? Can't have friends really, either. Sure, we've got each other, but we're coworkers, too. Plus, we don't really got much freedom, since we're constantly at war and all.

Shouldn't it be the same down here, too? I mean, who else is Heaven warring against?

Hell's got a higher body count. More meat shields to go through, less demand for that specific kinda labor.

...Okay. So then what? Were ready to deal the killing blow, but instead you were the one who got shot in the heart?

Hahaha, what? No way. Why would I have tried to kill her? I mean, I was assigned to protect her, after all?

...So you both jumped ship for love?

She died.

I followed after her.

And ended up here?

Bingo.

So what, they got a recruiter at the door? Which. Convenient if so, but still. You really think they're interested in you?

I don't need them to be. I don't want them to be.

I just want to be with the love of my life.

So it don't matter who else you sell out to get there.

Hey, that's a lot of words you're putting in my mouth. I didn't sell out anyone to get where I am; Rari and I were coworkers a long time ago, but it's been hundreds of years since then. I submitted my resignation eons ago, you know?

And it's not like I told anyone about him, either. But I'm not going to stick my neck out for him, we're not that close.

Sounds kinda different than how Elly put it, but I guess love changes people after all...

He's beyond stupid. Terminally stupid. Who misses out on the fall of Heaven because he overslept?

...Okay, fair. But you didn't feel the need for pets or nothing after?

We have a few cats! Chelle loves cats.

Dumb, yelly ones?

Oh, especially those!

Gotta say, this don't seem the best way to adopt a new one, though.
