[ 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 ]

[ 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!
[ 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. ]
[ 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?
[ 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...

[ 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?

[ 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 ]
[ 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...?

[ they are chinhanding quite clearly as they look at taair ]
You might want to look away before you pass out.

[ they watch the motion with interest. ] Is that a greeting where you're from? [ should they be doing that? ]
It's very nice! I love the beach, and it's so warm. I've just been exploring.
What about you?

[ yeah the internet is bad. let's unplug for a while. ]
Oh, was it that obvious? [ it is affection week though, so they pat the dirt next to them. come sit! ]

[ and now they turn around, folding their arms over their chest and assessing him carefully. ]
New to bars, or new to alcohol entirely? I've got a few things that go down easy to get you started.

The former, certainly! [ having been outside a grand total of one (1) time ] The latter, less so. I've had a few drinks with dinner here and there, of course, and I had rye beer for the very first time a few weeks before... well, dying.
[ he laughs a little helplessly as he says that, but otherwise doesn't seem particularly bothered by it. ]
But, to say I'm open to new experiences would be putting it very lightly!

[ it was a mistake
his gaze flicks to their halo briefly, with a wry little smile. ]
A bit - only in the way that perhaps, I'm fond of birds. [ but, as gestured, he will happily come to do so - caring very little for getting dirt on his extremely white clothes, he kneels down to join them, peering curiously at whatever part of the garden they're in. what are you working on, or are you just vibing in the dirt. ]
What are you up to out here?

Oh! Well, yes, but - you needn't return it. It's really just among the aristocrats - honestly, it's a habit I really ought to break.
[ sometimes you wanna get away from that like as fast as possible. anyway ]
It is quite lovely, isn't it...? This is the first time I've ever seen the beach with my own two eyes.

[ help. this startles him enough that he whips his head to look over - then laughs, sheepish, and steps away...from the bright lights... ]
No intrepid researcher ever ran too far from a new situation, but... perhaps it could be taken in small doses.
I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to how - bright things are here. Good day, Gamaliel.

Oh. Should you break it?
[ headtilt. ]
You must live far away from the ocean, then. Do you not travel much?

Well then, welcome to the Confessional. Honored to serve you and all that. [ they begin mixing a drink though. ] Tell me something. Got a favorite fruit?
Edited (my scroll...) 2025-02-10 20:14 (UTC)
I'd like to.
[ break that tradition. should he? probably not but also.
the second part though - he. laughs, a little. sheepishly. ha ha... ha... ]
And...aha...that's an understatement.... I would have liked to! More than near anything. And I did get to, at least for a very short time, before... all of this. But only for a week or so before I had to return.

[ they glance up at his halo, and though he can't see their expression it's probably obvious they seem relaxed by this. they even scoot to give him extra room. now that he's on the ground with them, it appears they are half-vibing in the dirt and half-working on some sort of crochet project in an array of pinks and purples. ]
Elysia asked for a pillow, and I didn't have a reason to say no. Why work indoors when I could be out here?

I think that's the first time I've ever been welcomed to confessional - thank you very much.
[ teehee. i am now forced to think about what kind of fauna and flora exist in convallaria so if this gets violently jossed i'm playing a side character.
taair taps his chin, thinking over the question, though... ]
Ah... I like strawberries...? Or perhaps peaches. They're quite light. [ and with a warm smile: ] I don't believe we've been introduced, yes? My name's Taair.

... You know, my friend, I think that is a wonderful philosophy to have.
[ why work inside when you could be outside. it sure speaks to taair's interests - he reaches out and gently sets his hand on the grass, just to feel it under his palms. it's nice, to be able to be outside.
the crocheting makes him make a soft little noise of realization, peering at it. ]
You made all of those items by hand? That scarf was quite the life-saver, that first day.

Sure. Probably not somewhere most people wanna be welcomed, but I think it's kind of an appropriate name for a bar. Confessing your sins over a drink and all that to a guy who's just here to listen. [ and so they work... ]
Taair. Pleasure. [ they do not give their name yet, concentrating on his drinkie. ] How are you liking the place so far? Besides, uh, the whole "how you got here" part.

Is that so...? Well - If you're the listening type, I'm sure I have a story or two for you.
[ no name... he notices this!!! don't think he didn't!!! but he doesn't push it or anything for now, propping his chin in his hand instead and watching them work with curiosity. ]
Would you believe me if I said I'm enjoying myself quite a bit? Whether with or without how I ended up here.

You think? [ they would have this philosophy regardless, but it's nice to know someone else understands. ] I've always preferred it. Being where there's plants and trees? It feels better.
[ they do not explain what that means, but there is a nod. they also nudge over a ball of yarn. here. you can observe. ]
I did, yeah. I like making my own things when I have the materials. I wasn't sure what to make you all, so I guessed. I'm glad to hear it helped. And um, sorry about the other clothes? That was news to us.
