Lost and in a Strange Place

[laughswithfan]

Wha… what is this?

This doesn’t look like CEPHIRO!!!!!

We want to know where we are!


[And after a few moments when there is no ready answer. ]


Can someone please help us? We are lost…




[OOC: Uh oh… a young girl finds herself lost and alone in the City… during a curse where there are Angels and Demons running around loose in the streets! ]

I SHALL SMITE THEM! ...In the name of all that is pure and sacred and should not be harmed by evil!

[Hugs her closer protectively as they continue toward the beach house.]

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

Can you… smite… things Elder?

[Worried ]


Maybe you should stand back while we smite them!

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

...Dear child, so brave, so virtuous!

[Aska may see -- if she dares look below -- the rather large house perched on a hill by the beach now.]

Will you take arms in the name of your Lord?

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

We… don’t have a Lord… We are a Princess!

[Thinking ‘Lord’ in a different way, like ‘Master’ instead of ‘God’. ]

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

Your creator, darling child! The one your lovely features are made to resemble.

For you are a daughter of the Lord, and as such should know only love, comfort and safety.

[Laaaaaaaaaaaaanding in front of the beach house's driveway. Yes, it has a driveway]

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

Some one who looks like me…?


[Your flowery language is FAR too difficult to understand.

But, she looks around at this beach house with a great amount of interest. ]


Is this that safe place, Elder?

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

[He nods ceremoniously -- almost upsetting his Divine Hat of Wisdom -- and gestures toward the place, inviting Aska in.]

It's the abode I'll make safe for you thanks to the powers the Lord has entrusted to me, a Guardian of the pure-hearted.

[Divine Hat of Wisdom… ]

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

You keep saying weird things Elder… but as long as it is really safe here. We had to fight SO many demons before you came!

[Concerned ]

Are you really sure this place will be safe…

[Looking to the right and then to the left ]

We don’t see anymore guards. Or anymore winged people.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

You... had to fight those fell creatures? With your own innocent, child's hands??

[INCONCEIVABLE!!]

...I have failed to reach you in time. I'm not worthy enough to be part of the Order...

---HOWEVER! I'm empowered to make this house safe enough so that any child who seeks shelter within will know no peril!

[Shakes the Divine Staff of Obedience around! Summoning... some sort of angelic... force field. Yep.]

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

[Eyes as wide as saucers… ]


WOW!

[Performs a little jig around the Elder ]

We never knew you had powers like that!


[Pause]

But, we would feel better if there were a few more winged people around. The ones with the wings are the nice ones, right Elder?!

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

Indeed! We are the Guardians of the Good and the Pure! The Paladins of the Pearly Gates! The Shinning Legions of the Lord that will march victoriously against---!

...Oh...

2/2 ahem >.>

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

[Cough.] Certainly, certainly, my child.

I'll summon more members of the Order to stand guard if that makes your heart be at ease.

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

Elder is the best!


Though we still wonder why he has wings…

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

Hey! Why are you and the demons here anyway!?

/BUTTS IN HERE HI

[bequiet_hescreamed]

[ Wanders in, perhaps-familiar smallish figure but with pale teal- and white-feathered wings. ]

You summoned?

[ Actually, regardless of whether or not he was ACTUALLY summoned, he couldn't help but hear all the racket Aska was making and so took the opportunity to make tea (since, well, Tatra seems to have been avoiding the stuff) and enter at an appropriate moment. It's chamomile, so maybe that will get her to be quiet calm her nerves. ]

/APPRECIATES THIS ANGELIC BUTTING IN

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

Ah. Clef, my brother. Timely, timely.

An honor to have you here to protect the child.

[And oooooh. Snacks!]

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

[Frowns at Elder… ]

We are not just a child, We are a Princess!

Have you forgotten about everything??


[Oh yea… ]

Hello, other winged person…

[bequiet_hescreamed]

Hello, other small person.

[ This is said rather dryly, but with a hint of affection. ]

To answer your question, we and the demons are here because this is Limbo. [ Hence why the City doesn't have a name, amirite? God this poor kid will be so confused when the event ends. He pauses to set the teatray down on a convenient table and pour three cups. Seeing as he is not actually the help here, you are all obliged to serve your own cream and sugar. ] Hell is below us and Heaven above. The demons are here to attempt to force the unrepentant sinners among us to Hell, and we are here to prevent them from taking over the entirety of Limbo.

[ Well, that's the ten-second version, at least, that does not go into the precise power-dynamics involved and the fact that he happens to be secretly dating a demon, but let's not go there. ]
