[ Gamaliel is at the arcade in Bikini Bottom! They don't seem to be doing anything in particular, though; they're simply leaning against a convenient counter looking at the games from time to time before going back to whatever it is they could possibly be doing on their phone.
they'll at least look up when taair is in vicinity, but they are not starting a conversation without prompting, it looks like ]

[ well listen they can have a moment of observation and that is a ye olde like What The Hell Is Happening standing in the arcade, hand to heart, momentarily startled like a prey animal. ]
Goodness gracious.
[ there are so many colors... it's so bright.... there's so much happening ]
Goodness gracious.
[ there are so many colors... it's so bright.... there's so much happening ]
[ ramiel can be found in one of the giftshops along the boardwalk in bikini bottom. they appear to just be... running their hands along a row of keychains, making the plastic and metal knock against each other. are you three years old with a baby mobile. what are you doing.
it's fine. they stop when they see taair. ]
Hello!
it's fine. they stop when they see taair. ]
Hello!
[ ramiel you're valid
he comes trotting right over to watch them do this, and then greets them with a smile - hand to heart, a quick little bow of his head. ]
Good day, Ramiel! This place is - exciting, isn't it? What are you up to?

[ while there are new places to explore, when taair goes to seek out zuriel he will find them in... the dirt. or, rather, he will find them on the ground in the garden among some of the plants and seemingly enjoying the outside world. but they hear someone approaching and they tilt their head back, watching him get closer. ]
Good morning. [ is it morning. who knows. ]
Good morning. [ is it morning. who knows. ]
[ oh i think i know who this is. not the character but hte person
anyway!!!!! taair's been out and about quite a bit, exploring, perhaps as to be expected - but he loops his way back to touch grass after a distressing afternoon on the internet (?) or also just seems to be wandering the loop of everything to explore. ]
Oh! Good morning, Zuriel. [ with a smile, he dips his head in greeting, as polite as can be! ] You know, I should have expected that I might find you out here...

[ well, taair can come to the bar! he can even have a seat at the bar? but even before he gets that close he'll notice there's a new glowing figure behind the counter seemingly doing inventory. their gold halo hovers behind them just like everyone else, but without even turning around they seem to know someone's there. ]
Hey, man. Can I get you started with something?
Hey, man. Can I get you started with something?
[ SHAKES
he's here! honestly, if he saw a new figure he might have been thrilled by that enough alone to poke his head in, let alone a drink - so curiosity wins immediately, and he makes his way over, carrying his book in his arms. ]
Good day, my good fellow. [ !! ] I... honestly, I'm not sure! I can't say that I've ever really frequented places like this. Do you have something you might recommend...?

[ it's dark out by now, a bit after the trial itself is over. but should taair go looking in the garden behind the church he will find that zuriel is back in their home in the dirt, staring up at the stars. at least this time they are on a blanket, almost as if expecting this.
come have a sit? ]
come have a sit? ]
[ yes, he would like to be out of that church immediately actually, so this is perfect - when he spots zuriel in the garden, he ducks his head and then makes his way over, soft, tired smile on his face. ]
...There is something quite restorative about being out here, isn't there?
[ though it's not anywhere near a cureall because everything is terrible, but with that, he comes to join him on the blanket. ] Hello, my dear friend.

[ gives you library. ramiel is entering the library's lobby, brushing fresh snow off of their shoulders. merry christmas it's morningtime.
when they spot taair they will just make a beeline over to where he's at. ]
Have you found anything good to read?

[ a stack of books with wings appears to begin talking to ramiel
oh wait that's taair. his head pops out from the side of the stack! the feathers on the wings on his back are all poofed up because ]
Ramiel! Oh, so many things. [ MY FELLOW NERD ] I grabbed a book on the local customs, and then of course, I am brushing up on my first aid, and I found a few historical texts on revolutions from different worlds - there's an account made up entirely of letters, and of course, I picked up one on 'modern' technology, as well! And - to top it off, I even found a few of the books I used in my research!
[ SPARKLES ]
Come, come! Is there anything you'd like to find in particular? I think I will get to know this place in from top to bottom before this week is through.

[ looks at ramiel in the library and decides not to go there.
instead! it is the afternoon and everything is extraordinarily pink. it is valentine's day in whoville, and zuriel appears to be on a mission to gather a few bouquets of flowers, juggling all of these in their arms. there's a tiny gust of wind though, and soon they are surrounded by red streamers and there's an annoyed sort of sound as they attempt to bat them off. go away!!!
good afternoon, taair. ]

[ that's valid. taair's on his way out of the library for fresh air, because that's a thing he can do now, and walking with a spring in his step. on his back are a pair of cute blue bird wings, tucked tightly so he might not end up running into someone because he's polite - and when he glances over to see a familiar holy figure in a little bit of distress, he hurries right over!! ]
Oh! Zuriel, you're looking a bit redder than usual! [ hee hee ] Here, allow me.
[ how tall are they anyway... taair's not tall himself, but he will reach up to pluck a couple of streamers out of the way with a laugh, batting them away in the wind. some get caught in his new feathers but that's okay. ]

[ today, when taair returns to the bar he will find it's probably empty and the bartender is behind the counter. there's a song playing from somewhere, and they appear to have a beer on the counter next to them as they lean forward to play solitaire. they look up as they hear the door open though. ]
Hey, Taair. What can I get started for you?
Hey, Taair. What can I get started for you?
[ i am going to be spending all day today singing this thank you
taair has a bit of a bounce to his step on this fine monday. he also has a pair of wings! i linked these already and im tired but they're fluffy blue ones. and beyond that, he has a new book under his arm when he makes his way into the bar, and comes to hop up and sit on a stool. ]
Why hello, my dear friend. [ someone's in a good mood. ] I think that I ought to ask you for some water, first, unless you've a recommendation! I quite like what you made before.
How are you?

[ this time, gam can be found at the market of whoville around valentine's day time, looking through things casually... but they also happen to spot taair right as he leaves the library, so they give him a little wave of greeting ]
Hey.
Hey.
[ mingle is insane today i apologize. crawls in here
taair has several books tucked under his arm but when he sees gamaliel, he immediately frees a hand to wave in return and greet them! ]
Good day, Gamaliel. Isn't this place wonderful?

Yes, of course. Where? Your room? Somewhere else?

The door is open... please feel free to come in.

[ the HAIR ]
And that I am. I was talking with Basilio about finding strange things here, and thought I'd take a look, and now... I have no idea where I am. Isn't that unfortunate?
[ he also seems like he is enjoying himself. weirdos ]

I forgot they never shut up. [ more to herself than anything, but. gives a little wave when she spots taair ] Heya.

Good day, Gamaliel. Goodness, one can only imagine the kind of ballads a bunch of flowers could sing... they must have seen all sorts of interesting things.
[ heehee. he crouches down to investigate! ] Not a fan?

zuriel is in the house of cards up in the attic, seated at the table and watching the deck of tarot cards shuffle themselves. she's frowning pensively, allowing them to go and trying to pull one out of the deck before it sort of dances out of her grip. ]
Really? You won't even let me touch my own cards now?

[ rescues you from the jaws of capitalism
it's funny did you know that taair's canon is half based on tarot cards. he's exploring the house when he hears a familiar voice, so his head pops up from the attic ladder. ]
Zuriel...? What are you up to, up here?

[ today at the bar, gabriel is here and is leaning against the counter, flipping through what looks like a library book with absolutely zero interest. but they perk up a bit upon hearing footsteps, even if they don't stand upright immediately. ]
Hey. Come have a seat.

Good day, my dear friend!
[ it's a taair! he is still kind of hobbling, but he looks to be as cheerful as ever as he makes his way over to the bartop. and immediately peers at the book, trying to see what they're reading... ]
Very busy, I see?

[ taair is out and about... i'm gonna do a fit check this week i have this pinterest board for a reason!!!! so fit check minus the veil because no one's getting married. plus his usual bird pin though. ]
Ramiel! I do love strange things. [ delighted!!! he clasps his hands together. ] Let's! I'd love to.

[ if you desire memshare we can do that and just have them leave the bar and get door'd. for now though, today at the bar gabriel is here, and they appear to be nursing a cup of coffee and working on constructing something out of legos on the bar countertop when taair walks in. they don't really look up from their project, but their voice sounds happy to see him. ]
How goes it?
How goes it?
[ oh fuck yeah i want a memshare are you kidding
taair is delighted. he's always kind of delighted - after the weekend's events, he's a little more subdued than usual, but still has a warm smile for gabriel that immediately turns to curiosity. ]
Oh... it's another strange Monday. [ you know. memshare. it's fine. ] What are you up to, my dear friend?

You and I should go and have some pancakes, I think.
[ they may not get there before a door sends them to the house of mirrors, but let her be optimistic. ]

I think that sounds lovely. What's a pancake?

I'll even let you pick the dirt this time.

How about the flower garden...? I planted some convallaria flowers, and I think the sight might cheer me considerably.
[ whee!!!!!!!
taair is poking his head in different rooms - if you guessed he is looking for a library, you are correct - and his emotions are a consistent undercurrent of curiosity and interest, though there's something melancholy there near constantly. when he hears ramiel, there's a !! and he sticks his head out of the room he's in. ]
Do you think so...? [ taair, who grew up in a palace, ] I do like the hedge maze a bit better. Good day, Ramiel.

[ exploring the soda bar... zuriel is checking out the few flavors that are available before she tilts her head. ]
This feels incredibly niche somehow.

I will take your word for it, my dear friend.

Hey! What's up?

[ waves back!!!! taair is clearly having a ball investigating everything and anything, if his emotions are any indicator. they're perky and warm, and just flooded with curiosity. and fondness for gamaliel, too, as soon as he sees her. ]
Good day, my dear friend! [ trotting right over... ] Are you enjoying the scenery, Gamaliel?

[ we are in ITALY!!! she is just walking along, turning to look every which way at all of the SIGHTS. even if there are no sights she's still like WOW A STREET CORNER!!! WOAH A BIT OF A PLANT!!!!!
she's not amazed or shocked by these things but sometimes you're just happy to be out and about. ]
I believe this is just Italy.

this is taair's M.O also. he is SO sparkly eyed at Literally Everything, and he beams at ramiel. ]
Is "just Italy" a place you are familiar with? It's beautiful - it reminds me of Rodinia, a bit.

We must seem like quite the invasive species, Zuriel.
