Likewise. It's Gabriel, and the week's just getting started. Things have been quiet but I'm gonna guess it's because most of you have been spending time in Whoville.
[ or, like, getting attacked by a giant goose apparently, in the probably future. ]
Bar's open 24/7, but sometimes I'll leave when it's late and you guys have settled for the night. Figure it's better when people aren't likely to show up.
[ they fold their arms over their chest, head tilting to look him over. ]
It's not that hard. The bar has self-serve for a reason.[ it's that literally nobody asks either. but... ] I guess I can be open to that here or somewhere else though, sure.
[ otome-ass. they very much are looking at the hand like they aren't sure what to do here, but they take it for, like, long enough for them to duck out behind the bar. ]
[ hehehe yves just laughs - his hold is loose enough that gabriel can pull way at any moment since he didn't get stockholm syndromed into accepting this from yves the week before ]
At this time... I think it'll be a little cold? [ new year's party time!! he looks back at them ] Are you bundled up?
Yeah. Yeah, they updated me. The Angels are usually pretty good about telling me everything. [ there's a nod toward the menu advertising the deadzo drinks. ] Sorry you guys had to go through that.
[ there's a low hum of thought to that, and they don't answer immediately. ]
... if I were you, maybe I'd feel the same. Being indecisive and judging based on where the people I care about would go. Some people would call that complacency though.
[ that gets a short laugh of their own, under their breath and slightly incredulous, but it's there. ]
And if I asked where you'd go instead, the answer would be "where my friends are." Right? I don't know about deserving heaven or not, but you're already here. That has to count for something.

Do you get to leave at all, Gabriel? Or do you want any souvenirs brought over?
no subject
no subject
no subject
Were... you going to actually do that anyway? [ curious. and a little amused. ]
no subject
I want to get to know you. But we can save it for another time if it's hard for you to leave.
I can also get to know you right here, if you're open to it.
no subject

no subject
he grins at that, offering a hand out like he's giving them a one way ticket outta town ]
Then let's go! Take a break, time to go see the sights!
no subject
And "the sights" are what, exactly?
[ where are we going, what time is it, etc. ]
no subject
At this time... I think it'll be a little cold? [ new year's party time!! he looks back at them ] Are you bundled up?
[ HE CAN'T TELL ]
no subject
in all seriousness, also, it's just not a thing they do. ]
Don't worry about me. [ they sound like they're amused by the thought. ] I don't mind the cold. Guess it is that time of night though.
[ let us go... to new year's! ]
no subject
I want to scope out all the different options for our party tomorrow. Do you wanna come?
[ I NEED TO INVITE ALL THE OTHER NPCS HELP ME I GOT DISTRACTED AGAIN WE'LL FUCKING GET THERE ]
no subject
[ does not answer the second part because they are distracted a party is happening in the first place, give them a second. ]
no subject
yves just nods! ]
Yeah! Do you talk to the other three angels often? I floated the idea with some of them over the weekend.
no subject
no subject
You heard about it all, right...?
no subject
Yeah. Yeah, they updated me. The Angels are usually pretty good about telling me everything. [ there's a nod toward the menu advertising the deadzo drinks. ] Sorry you guys had to go through that.
no subject
... thank you, for keeping their memory alive in your own way.
I'm sorry for a lot of reasons, but I just want to do right by them and the people here however I can.
no subject
[ there's a pause. ]
What do you think doing right is, in this context?
no subject
yves looks thoughtful ]
... respect their memory?
And for the people still here... try to help them achieve redemption, so they can get what they want.
no subject
That's a start, yeah. [ it makes sense to them. ] I think it's fine if you want to help other people achieve redemption, but what about you?
no subject
[ if adolphe is going to heaven then that's easy ]
But I guess because I'm less decisive or desperate to get back to what I need to... I'm okay figuring things out as I go.
no subject
... if I were you, maybe I'd feel the same. Being indecisive and judging based on where the people I care about would go. Some people would call that complacency though.
no subject
They would! And they'd be right. [ he doesn't mind the word ]
But it's hard, when I don't even think I deserve Heaven but I don't know if I want to go home.
no subject
And if I asked where you'd go instead, the answer would be "where my friends are." Right? I don't know about deserving heaven or not, but you're already here. That has to count for something.
