[Dream Post]

[by_the_pricking]

::So you're in the sky. In Greek Ruins. On a balcony. There's an angel in robes with his wings spread out, reading a book. Those who pay attention will recognize this as the book the owner of Labirinto keeps with him.

However, the angel is turned around, and the light is conveniently bright enough to obscure his details.

He seems to be reading a sermon. It's quite relaxing.::

*... he really does. But he can't put his exact finger on it...*

... Just what is that, that you're reading from? I don't recognize the language.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

The language of angels.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... he seems to laugh a bit to himself*

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You seem to be an angelic being, yourself.

Though I'll... Admit, the book is familiar, to me.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Oh, you don't recognize me, customer?

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... that gives him pause for a moment*

... I'll have to say the light and the wings made it difficult to, yes, sir.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Dreams are like that.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*He is, surprisingly, unsurprised at the statement*

Hm. Understandable-- I'm very certain within the basis of reality, I'd not suddenly be in ruins in the sky itself.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Of course. The question is how you got here, then.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

That, I'll admit, has me stumped. Hm...

*...* I do hope at least, that I'm... Not intruding. Past the invading one's dreams part.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

This is a happy dream. I don't mind it being "invaded" as you say.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... he smiles very slightly.*

Hm. I figured it would be best to check, despite my confusion. ... If you want to continue your reading though, don't hesitate to, sir. This is, after all, your dream.

::Continues reading and speaking. You don't know what it's about, but your soul feels uplifted and nurtured.::

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*He listens quietly and peacefully. His expression doesn't tend to be good at showing it, but there's a certain happiness to him, at least.*

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

::He can at least sense your peace.::

... You seem happy to listen.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... he nods slightly*

Hm. I'm always preferred listening over speaking. Even if I don't understand it, there's a feeling of benevolence from your sermon.

*He makes a small sound* Though, I wonder if it's because I already feel that you're not a terrible sort, despite what I've heard of you.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

I am a terrible sort, just a terrible sort who understands why he's terrible. That's what makes it different.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

Hm... Is that so?

I guess it's not like I haven't found solace in odder sorts before. My positive impression of you before learning of what you plan to do... Most likely affects it.

Though, I'll admit. I wasn't surprised to learn of what you were.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Oh, why is that?

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

Hm, why I wouldn't have guessed that you were an angel, I would have easily guessed that you weren't... Human. For a few reasons.

Your store is admittedly odd, if useful. You hold many products and enchanted objects that wouldn't be available in this world. And... Well, I liked you from the start, which I only ever seem to do with non-humans.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you like angels.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*That slight smile again*

At least. But again, I wouldn't have guessed until I was told. *... He sighs slightly*

Not that I wasn't a bit... Shocked, when what you planned to do came out. I'll admit that.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

... That only makes sense if you have context, sadly.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

... I heard that you aim to settle a dispute, using a weapon that may cause a war in the 12 Dimensions. Is that much true?

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Only due to the attitudes of the disputing party. They have... always had a war mongering nature.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

... The ones who live in the "Sanctuary in the Sky", correct? I wouldn't have actually figured.

*... it dawns on him that these surroundings probably are the Sanctuary in the Sky, now that he thinks about it. He looks around at the ruins*
