[ Gam is actually in the mansion lobby, seated on one of the random seats with an old, clunky laptop open on their lap. It's got a few stickers on it! One of them has a logo saying NERD, one is a puppy, etc. Wow! This tells you nothing!

they close the laptop when Wis comes over though ]

Hey. [ tiredly. ]

[sarkazm]

Huh. That one fits.

[they WOULD have a nerd sticker. wis'adel slouches into a seat nearby, making herself comfy.]

So were you expecting your job today to be showing up and listening to a bunch of people talk shit?

[holyspirits]

I thought there'd be some weird goodbyes and then a guy I don't care about would board a train and I'd never have to see him again.

[ they do not seem bothered by the attack calling them a nerd. considering they have the sticker. fair. ]

[sarkazm]

The rest of that was a surprise?

[what is HAPPENING around here.]

[holyspirits]

Why would we punish murder with more murder? [ a beat ] In heaven.

[ THEY UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE OF REVENGE AND THE DEATH PENALTY ]

[sarkazm]

Yeah, well, the 'angels' I know of all carry heavy-duty guns, so forgive me if I wasn't exactly expecting heaven to do everything peacefully.

[holyspirits]

Don't make me think about Ramiel with a gun.

[sarkazm]

No? Now I do want to think about it!

[holyspirits]

As they are right now, they'd end up shooting themselves by accident.

[sarkazm]

[i'm so sorry she bursts into cackling laughter at the thought]

[holyspirits]

[ hiding their (lack of) face with the laptop ]

It's not funny! I'd have to deal with it! [ they do not sound actually offended ]

[sarkazm]

Yeah? Are you in charge of the other two, or just the one holding it together?

[holyspirits]

I'm always in charge of Ramiel. [ matter of fact. ] But the latter.

[ no facial expressions continues to mean no one knows if this is the truth... ]

[sarkazm]

[huh. her tail flicks, a little curious.]

What, does Zuriel not take babysitting shifts?

[holyspirits]

It's not that Ramiel needs a babysitter, I'm just... Responsible.

[sarkazm]

They're yours in some way?

[as in tied to them. their people. not, you know.]

[holyspirits]

That makes it sound like I own them or something. They are very capable of doing whatever they want without taking my opinion into account.

[ dry like they have Suffered this ]

[sarkazm]

Oh, come on, you know what I meant!

[an eyeroll... she's settling into whatever chair she's in sideways, now, legs draped over an armrest.]

They walk right into trouble a lot?

[holyspirits]

[ ive decide they are now sharing an armchair with gam curled up and wis settling into it sideways because it's cute. let me have this ]

They drag me and other people into trouble. [ #tired ] They mean well. They just have a very different point of view of things. I don't have to worry about that with Zuriel, since they're more...

[ a beat ]

Down to earth?

[sarkazm]

[we have one more day of affection week and by god we're USING IT. accepted.]

Ooh, so you're the long-suffering leash holder. I get it.

[her feet swing idly where they dangle off the chair.]

What kind of trouble do they pull you into?

[holyspirits]

If I had any actual leash control, maybe.

[ it is cuddles time. they sort of put their laptop on wis' legs to be able to see it better, typing something in ]

They're the kind of person to try to see sense with a genocidal maniac because technically their plan wasn't as bad as we thought it was at first.

[sarkazm]

Seriously?

[she Is peeking because like, she's right here, but. wiš'adel can't read very fast.]

So that's why talking with them is the way it is, huh.

[holyspirits]

[ rip to wis because it is very HACKER VOICE I'M IN type of coding ]

"The way it is"? [ they sound like they think that's funny though ]

[sarkazm]

Nothing but questions! I don't even know how to answer half of them!

[squinting at the screen... and just as quickly losing interest because what the fuck is that. she has no idea how coding works.]

[holyspirits]

I know. [ with a little laugh, even though it is fond ] They're always so curious about everything, which I get, but it's like--maybe! Some things are more straightforward than that!
