001✝[Video]

[dancingonapin]

[There's a rough bang and clatter as the SFC falls to the ground of the plaza with its video accidentally turned on. It slides away, pointed up towards its owner who is looking deadly, frightened, and entirely befuddled all at once. It's an Englishman in his late 20s with golden hair and rather cherubic features. He is dripping wet.

Perhaps worth taking note, he also has very large, very messy, and very soggy angel wings on his back, drooping to the ground. There are feathers everywhere. Also worth taking note is the sword he has in his hand, which he looks about ready to stab someone with. Despite being completely wet like the rest of the poor man, the sword is miraculously on fire.]

Ooooh! Why am I all wet?!

[The angel groans and looks himself over, spitting some water that dripped from his nose onto his mouth.]

Comments

[angelphones]

[Have a slightly distressed-looking blue-haired boy.]

Are you all ri -

[... Those are angel wings. Crap.]

... Er. Are you all right?

[Video]

[dancingonapin]

No, I quite not all right! I'm very lost, and very confused, and in such a heap of trouble! And to top it all off, I'm soaking wet!

[He shakes out his hair a bit, but it seems to only make it worse. Now the gold curls are in his eyes.]

Could you please explain to me what is going on!

[Video]

[angelphones]

Um... calm down. This place is called Vatheon. It's an underwater city. You've been taken from your world, but as far as anyone can tell no time passes there while you're here, so when you get back you can pick up right where you left off.

... That said, going back is random and no one knows how it happens. And you're wet because... I don't know. Everyone seems to be wet when they get here.

[Video]

[dancingonapin]

[Calm down. Right. The fussy man takes a deep breath and listens carefully.]

... This certainly sounds like an impossible situation to me. How in the world did I get here?

[Video]

[twiceinhabited]

[A violet haired girl appears on the screen. Before she can say anything, she notice the man's wings. Angel?

And that sword must be magical. Good Lord, that fire.]

...Are you alright?

[Video]

[dancingonapin]

No, no! Pardon me, but I'm not all right at all!!

[How did he get himself into this situation? There was absolutely no way that this was His work...

The angel sighs.]

Sorry, sorry for yelling young miss... I must keep my wits about me. I heard I'm trapped here?

[Video]

[twiceinhabited]

It's alright, sir. And yes, that's true. We are trapped here until we're sent home or find a way back to our home worlds.

[Video]

[dancingonapin]

Sent home... How utterly inconvenient... [Then again he doesn't exactly wish to be back at home with the way things are at the moment anyway, but regardless this doesn't bode well at all.]

Has anyone "found" a way home yet?

I hope you don't mind ACTION

[bufudine]

[Serph had taken the time to pass through the Plaza once he realised newcomers were arriving earlier than usual. And then suddenly A DUDE WITH WINGS AND A FLAMING SWORD FHSHDFGHG wow he's glad he's not in melee range right now.

Sorry man, but Serph has his pistol out and aimed at Aziraphale.]

Are you demon?

[Because Aziraphale looks distressingly like some of the demons from his world.]

Of course I don't mind ACTION~

[dancingonapin]

[Aziraphale had been quite testily chatting with his SFC when Serph arrives. He looks up from the silly thing straight into the barrel of the pistol.]

Oh. Oh dear, you must be mixed up. See, I'm quite the opposite! I'm an angel!

[He beams at him, then glances at his flaming sword which he's still clutching to for dear life. Huh, right, that probably looked bad didn't it?]

[bufudine]

[The stranger's statement does little to ease Serph; he's only familiar with a person named that and demons named archangels. He doesn't trust both. But while the stranger seemed initially hostile, he doesn't seem aggressive, and it's that that causes Serph to lower his weapon more than the angelhood.

Nevertheless, he's still wary, ready to shoot at any sign of attack.]

How is an angel different from a demon?

[Because this definitely seems like a culture clash.]

[dancingonapin]

[Aziraphale opens his mouth. Then closes it. He's not sure he's ever heard anyone ask that question before. Most people went with the assumption that angels were generally not going to hurt you, and he'd learned to live with that assumption.

This guy was smart.]

To be honest, not much. Really it just means I'm on the other side, the side of Good and Virtue and whatnot. [The angel lowers his flaming sword.] Believe me, though, I'm not out to hurt anyone. I've only just got here and I'm only slightly aware of where "here" is!

Actioning this up

[not_heavens_adam]

[It was common to have wet and confused arrivals in the plaza, not so common where ones with wings.

Johnny grabbed a couple towels and scooped up the SFC as he approached, offering them all to the stranger.]

For all intents and purposes, you fell through the ocean, that's why.

Action

[dancingonapin]

Fell through? [The angel gratefully takes the items with an absent "thank you" and looks up at the ceiling. Huh, it was rather blue and ocean-y wasn't it? How peculiar.] Well this is certainly the very last thing I could have expected.

Action

[not_heavens_adam]

[He smirks and gestures to the sword.] I bet. It looks like you were in the middle of something.

Sorry to have to tell you, but you probably won't be able to get back to it for a while.

Action

[dancingonapin]

[He glances at his sword and furrows a brow, as if trying to remember what in the world it was he was doing. It seems he's a little mixed up right now.]

Oh, oh right. That. Actually, to tell you the truth I'm feeling a tad relieved I don't have to get back to it. I was almost surely going to end up in nothing but a mess of trouble, regardless of the outcome of the situation.

ACTION 1/?

[scaresplants]

[There's a very familiar guy in shades walking by with a fern in a pot in the crook of his arm, prepared to make it another one of its victims back home. He turns briefly to see what's going on, quickly glancing at his surroundings just to ease the boredom of staring straight ahead the whole time.]

[Oh hey, there's the local restaurant, and some of the locals, and there's a guy with wings and a fiery sword, and that fountain where the birds ate, and some more locals.]

[Welp, nothing out of the ordinary, carry on-]

2/?

[scaresplants]

[Waittttttt a second here, back up.]

[One of these things is not like the other.]

3/?

[scaresplants]

[Is that-?]

3/?

[scaresplants]

[....]

4/4! DONE

[scaresplants]

[Okay, no, that's definitely the angel, fiery sword and all.]

[Crowley is honestly pretty happy to see him, but because he is a demon who must keep his reputation, he walks calmly up, fern in hand, smirking ever so slightly as he puts his free hand on his hip.]

Angel. You do know your wings are out, do you? The whole town is gawking by now.

...And put that sword away before you take someone's eye out with it.

ACTION this will be fun

[dancingonapin]

[Oh, okay, if there was anything in particular he'd been especially not-expecting, it was that old serpentine friend of his. There's a brief moment of relief at the familiar face, followed by more confusion. This situation was making less and less sense to him...]

Crowley? What in the world are you doing here? What in the world am I doing here??

[The angel glances back at his drooping wings, which are thoroughly more messy than ever.] They were out when I came here, and now they're all wet. What a pain...

[Aziraphale gently lowers the sword and let the flames die down, realizing that probably looked slightly threatening. He doesn't immediately put his wings away, however, preferring to futz over them a bit instead, trying to stretch them and get them to dry. A few moments of futility and some irritated groans, though, and they're gone in a flash.

There are still feathers everywhere.]

Video;

[redcloakedthief]

[...oh.

Oh.

And Matthew's response is just a large grin and a chuckle.]

Man, drying those feathers will take ages.

Video;

[dancingonapin]

Yes, I know, it's entirely irritating!

[Wait, oh, he still has his wings out.

Oops.]

Err, wait, you're not supposed to see these... I entirely forgot I had them out...

Video;

[redcloakedthief]

[He just laughs, shaking his head.]

Ah, that's fine. You're a...

[He tilts his head.]

An angel or a demon like Crowley, right?
