[ 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. ]

Fan of the original cast? I see Chelle with two L’s and an E has good taste.

Well, if you’re going to play jenga with our memories, make sure to leave that piece in. I’d hate to go back on my word.

Hey, I didn't take anything out. I just put a blanket on top, metaphorically speaking. It'll come off in due time, once you're out of my hair.

Oh? You handing us off to someone else?

I mean, you're just leaving my jurisdiction. Tokyo-F's not in my radius.

So you’re our babysitter until we get whisked back to the stage. Quaint.

[Points to the house]

She’s not even home, is she?

Nope.

[Crooks a finger at Furfur. Come here]

[ sure, steps closer ]

[Lowering his voice as if telling a secret]

My travelling companions - they're really bad at math, you see. Six for the price of one. Bad economic sense.

So is there harm in letting let play secret spy? It gives them hope and that's good for you and yours, right?

We both know what they're looking for isn't here.

[ lowering his voice, ]

Honestly, if it was anywhere besides my lady Oracle's house, it'd be something I could ignore. Hell, they couldn't have found their stupid book without my help, but they're asking for way too much. Why don't they try sitting and dabbling in some cryptography? That's a pretty secret spy thing to have fun with, right?

Way too much math. Way way too much math.

And yes well, paladins have to be so dramatic all the time.

Like crash landing into enemy territory when you're an army of one? ... Were they always like that?

Kid's pretty stupid. The biggest musclehead in Heaven, if you can believe it.

And thus of course, they would be the last unicorn.

I'm sure God is laughing at that turn of events.

... ... ... If only.

Touched a nerve?

Every angel with two wits about 'em's got this chip on their shoulder. Can't help it.

Of course.

...

So what did happen to God? There are so many conflicting stories.

You humans crucified His Son, and He fought the devil for you. Is it a wonder that He just gave up and closed his doors?

No. That part is not surprising.

The surprising part is that He would leave any of His behind. The "kid" among them.

We're not "part of His kind". We're just the foot soldiers, the grunts. The expendables.

He took everyone He couldn't bear to be without and left already.
