[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.::

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

*... 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.::

*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.*

::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*

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Well, what are Angels, is the question.

::Angels flying about, beautiful plants, wonderful ruins and temples.::

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... it's very peaceful. He seems almost content to look at it all.*

Hm. I'm very sure I'd think too hard past the original intent or point at a question like that.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Probably, and it's alright if you don't think too much about it.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

Hm. ... Angels have a lot of different interpretations, really. You state they have a war mongering attitude-- you, yourself, are an angel. Does this mean you have a similar attitude to them?

*Shakes his head*

Though, in a way, I guess shades of it show to support your statement. I know apparently your intent isn't to start a war, but you're aware your actions will possibly cause it.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

... I'm more peaceful, I'd like to think. ::Snaps the book closed.::

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt it.

If I felt like... You'd really want to cause anything else, I'd be more wary around you, wouldn't I?

Instead of just talking here, and listening. *He pauses* I apologize though, if I offended you.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

... Then the virus hasn't entirely corrupted me. Good.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... he seems curious. He hadn't heard all of the details concerning this...*

Virus...?

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

The Dark-ification Virus. It courses through my body.
