[ 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. ]
PLOT TOPLEVELS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER W/ CONTENT WARNINGS:
TALK WITH THE ANGEL - cw mild body horror in Yugi's thread

Re: PRE-FIGHT
Listen, I don't got a problem with working for my happiness, but you're asking me why I haven't started trying to make my own place starting with the dirt and the air. I can't create the Earth in seven days, and more importantly, she can't leave Hell. She's dead. Do you get it?
. . . Geez. This is why I hate talking to kids. You just won't accept any answer that doesn't fit your view, huh?
You think I'm stupid? You think I haven't thought of everything before I got to this conclusion? You think your insight is so much that you can solve my problems? You think you're that smart, kid? Get your head out of your ass.
Re: PRE-FIGHT
I'm just saying, if your Oracle can do it, other people can too, right?
Your wife doesn't gotta leave hell, not if people can make new ones. Maybe it's not the kinda thing you can do in seven days, but - maybe someday.

Right?

[ with a pause, icy cold tone ]
Then screw Hell and Heaven both, I wouldn't be here at fucking all.
Re: PRE-FIGHT
[Then, quietly:]
...if you had a door number three. If you could get one.
What would it be?
