Rules for Asks/Interactions:
Please be respectful of the mod! This is my first time having an ask blog, so if anything is out of character I apologize.
Shipping is alright, Ori leans more towards masculine presentation in terms of preference but is functionally queer.
Suggestive/Flirtatious asks/interactions are alright, but please be an adult if you interact in this way, as mod is 18+. All interactions that are suggestive will be tagged as #suggestive.
Ori uses he/him pronouns, mod uses he/they. If you do not respect this you will be blocked.
If I feel uncomfortable with an ask or interaction I will not respond to it.

Character Info:
Ori is a fallen angel, currently residing in the Lust layer. The council stripped his light from him after the disappearance of the Father, as he was insistent that he was dead, and the angels had been abandoned. He fell to Heresy, and made his way back up to Lust.
The fall changed him. Where his wings were once made of delicate stained glass, wings made of unkempt feathers have taken their place. The Father's light has been wholly replaced with Hell Energy, but the speed at which it took the place of the Father's light has left Ori with something akin to chronic pain. He may or may not have parts of his bones growing outside his body now, but it blends into his armor well enough that no one can quite tell how much Hell has changed him.
He works for Minos (husk form) doing odd jobs, because as much as he itches to have a weapon in his hand like when he was a solider for heaven, there isn't much of a need for it in the Lust renaissance. Still, he walks around in full armor, and carries two knives at all times.
Ori is incredibly jaded from what the council did to himā he was an excellent fighter, even training most of Heaven's army for millennia, and was tossed aside like it was nothing. It has made him incredibly closed off to most people, even though he can't shake the angelic politeness ingrained in him upon first meeting him. If you can get him out of his shell, he's incredibly expressive, though not communicative, and cares deeply, almost to a fault. He can also be incredibly snarky and rude when provoked (which doesn't take much).
Typically, he is shipped with Gabriel and V1, however this setting predates any of V1's involvement. He was in love with Gabriel when he was in Heaven, and Gabriel loved him back, but his love quickly fades and turns into bitter anger the longer he goes without seeing a scrap of evidence that Gabriel ever looked for him after he fell.

HERE AND NOW AND THENāāāāāāāāāāāCLOSED RP EVENT
AND HERE WE GO. First time running an event, this is kinda like a test for myself to see if I can handle running something of this size
Also to show some world lore for my Gabriel-
Without further ado, I am pleased to showcase āHere and Now and Thenā
āāāāāāāāāāāāā
*Gabriel had invited you all to a hidden treasure room deep in Treachery. A huge area with dozens with beautiful items on display*
*A sword made of flames that had once belonged to the gate guardian of Eden, a shield that seemed to break time and space as it danced around itself and seemed to infinitely bend in on itself, a golden egg with pure light inside it, along with many other such treasures.*
Do feel free to wander a bit, but there are 2 rules I will hold firm on:
Do not touch or move anything, and under no circumstances should you get too close to that
*he points at the center of the room, there sat sat a simple golden sphere on a velvet cushion, encased in glass and chains made of light.*
That is what the elders called āThe tesseract.ā Itās a highly unstable little thing. Or at least it was back in the elders of heavens dayā¦best not to touch it
Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
āā¦Noā¦ no..! NO!!! Unhand me this instant..! Fuckā¦ thisā¦ cannot be happening..! Not again..! Iā¦ā
Bezaliel struggled heavily against the Tesseract, his pitch black wings flapping frantically, reopening a few wounds from a past incidentā¦ tears fell from his pure white right eye and the vertical eye on his throat as the Supreme Angel fought for his freedomā¦ he couldnātā¦ this failureā¦ not againā¦ NOT AGAIN!!
āThis was all your fault, Bezalielā¦ all you had to do was followā¦ obey meā¦ but noā¦ you decided to betray me insteadā¦ā
A searing pain shot through the scars on Bezalielās face as the voice of his sadistic fallen Seraphim of a leader echoed in his mindā¦ the tears fell fasterā¦ he couldnāt let this happen againā¦ thisā¦ the tormentā¦ the shadows all around began acting erraticallyā¦ he couldnātā¦ being unable to hold back his rage and sorrowā¦ the Supreme Angel let out a shout that he was sure shook the entire palaceā¦
āHEAVEN SHALL FALL!!! HELL WILL BURN!!! THERE IS NO ESCAPING MY SCORN!!! BETTER RUN AND HIDE WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!! NO ONE ESCAPES THE FATHERāS SHADOWY GLANCE!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! ALL OF YOU REPROBATES?!ā
He couldnāt breathe. The air just couldnāt get into his lungs properly, he wasnāt sure if he wasnāt breathing or if he was hyperventilating, head whipping around as he looked at the chaos unfold.
He was frozen to the ground.
King Minos is dead.
It was an inevitable event in every single timeline.
The angel killed him.
It was unavoidable. The fall of Lust was part of every universe.
He was shaking. Everything felt weak, like he would collapse if he tried to move, ears ringing. Was spending every day and night trying to prepare for this not enough? Was seeing another version of Minos die really necessary?
He might be crying. He might be screaming too. He wasnāt too sure.
*Once Cass heard the cries, he froze for some seconds.. The fall of Minos.. The death of the humans always, always haunted him.. why?.. He got out of his thoughts as he heard V1, he agreed, he sighed and moved away from everyone, wings wrapping around V1 as an attempt to keep out the chaos and noise.*
āIs this better?.. I can try to find another place, just tell me.. I.. fear the death and fall of humans always seems to haunt me.. I.. I could never stop their fall.. I am such a fool..ā
*Before Hopper could do anything, the Tesseract suddenly stopped, flopping Bezaliel around a bit. It then proceeded to start. Floating up in the air with Bezaliel still attached to it*
*It then proceeded to teleport all part members somewhere new once again, the golden light seems almostā¦.dimmer this time around. Like itās running out of energy*
*When you all are able to see again, youāre on a wooden ship on what looks to be the river Styx. Looks like this is before the war, before the river turned to a grand ocean.*
*The tesseract detaches from Bezalielās hand and flys off to who knows where on the ship. That might end up being an issue-*
*In the darkness, 15 little eyes stare at the new group. Watching, waiting.*
*suddenly a voice rings out in the distance*
GABRIEL. COME BACK HERE.
*The eyes in the darkness look over to where the sound came from and take off in the other direction*
*Suddenly, someone appears. Their face is covered by a hood but their body language tells you that they are scared shitless*
Bezaliel was seemingly frozen in place, he recognized that voice and attireā¦ whyā¦ was he reacting like this now..? Almost as if on command, the Supreme Angel kneeled down, his left knee on the ground while the other remained raisedā¦ his head bowedā¦ this was instinctualā¦ he knew who he was in the presence ofā¦ even if the others didnāt, heād still show respectā¦
āā¦Apologies, for our sudden appearanceā¦ young masterā¦ we mean no harmā¦ is assistance required..? I am at your serviceā¦ Archangel Michaelā¦ā
Ori wasnāt stable when the tesseract teleported him away, stumbling and falling onto his hands and knees on the dock of the ship. He was still crying, tears running down his face as he shuffled until he was sitting down, wings curled around him, putting his head in his hands. He was just trying to breathe normally, trying to calm down enough to interact with the rest of the group once more.
He could hear Bezalielās reaction, could hear Archangel Michael speaking, but it all felt as if it was coming through a haze, where he just couldnātā¦ focus on it through his own panic.
Give him a few minutes to stop trembling, heāllā¦ probably be fine.
*Cassiel protected V1 as they were teleported.. Too much teleporting was starting to affect him, making him feel.. tired.. He looked around and sat down on the floor, keeping V1 close.*
ā..Michael?.. H-How?.. Do you know where are we?..ā
*Cassiel mumbled to V1. Seeing Michael only made him remember his husband.. That didn't really help since he started getting more anxious..*
Yes. I am Michel. Please just calm down. Thereās no need to fucking yell.
*If Micheal was completely honest, this many people appearing out of nowhere was unnerving as fuck. The only comfort he had was the fast that there was at least another angel here.*
*The one in red and the one in odd looking armor didnāt count to him*
As do where you are, you are all in the wrath layer of hell itself. How in the world did you all even get hereā¦
You all look like shit. The hell happened to youā¦
*A little winged blur wizzes by and lands on beeās shoulders. Hes light, he shouldnāt cause any toppling*
Hey I found this thing! Can I keep it??
*Itās a child, no older than 8. He has a light grey toga on and a leather messengers bag hanging from his shoulder. Wings are on his back, head, and on his ankles*
*Hes holding the tesseract like itās a toy-*
Where did you?!-
No. Give that to me Gabriel.
Nuh uh!
*The child hops off beeās shoulders to take flight, circling Cass twice before zipping off somewhere else in the ship*
ā¦.please do not tell me that belonged to you all.
āā¦Fuckā¦ yes, that indeed belonged to usā¦ Archangel Michaelā¦ itāsā¦ dangerousā¦ā
Bezaliel immediately stood up once he saw who he could only assume to be Gabriel not only grab the Tesseract but also fly off with it at near breakneck speedsā¦ thisā¦ was gonna be funā¦ he knew they needed to get it back
āā¦Archangel Gabriel is very fastā¦ if we are to get the Tesseract back from him, we need to act together this time..! Cassiel, brotherā¦ you follow meā¦ Ori, V1, Hopper you three take the other side of the shipā¦ do not leave each otherās sight, understood..? Archangel Michaelā¦ we are here to helpā¦ just give us the wordā¦ā
Ori got back up from his spot on the floor, pretending as if he wasnāt just having a full breakdown and panic attack, still trembling with his wings curled around him. He still feltā¦ not great, admittedly, but they had to get the tesseract back.
āAnd so it beginsā¦ā
He was really starting to hate that orb. Ori took a few steps towards V1 and Hopper, shaking out his wings to try and feel more ready for the chase that was about to ensue.
*Cassiel slowly leaves V1 on the floor, giving it a soft pat and a hug before opening his wings and going after Gabriel, he was pretty fast, yet when he approached the child he went slower, so he wouldn't scare him in any way. He moved slowly, looking around, searching for him..*
*Micheal was absolutely weirded out by the fact that this stranger in red knew his little brothers full title. Even stranger that he knew he was incredibly fast*
If that thing he was holding is as dangerous as you claim, then we need to get him. Fast.
I will warn that heās a fast little fucker. Splitting up to find him is the best idea right now, do NOT scare him or else we start this entire fucking process all over again.
*Seeing that Cass has already left, to the starboard side actually, he turns and points to Ori and Bez respectively*
You, tails. Head to the port side, the ferryman of this ship mightāve seen something. Go cool off or something. You seem shell shocked.
Red, youāre with me. TRY and be useful the BOTH of you.
*Micheal did notice that something was wrong with Ori, but he figured giving him something to do was a good way to distract him*
Oh and umā¦the other 2 of you canā¦.also look I guess-
Wait hold up what the hell even ARE you both?! That BLUE THING is nothing Iāve ever seen before and you in the suit, I canāt even fucking tell what you are!
Also the blue thing looks fucking DEAD.
I might be the fatherās wisdom but even if not wise enough to know what the hell is going on with you two.
*Gabriel had hidden himself in an area of the ship that was relatively hidden, he was able to find areas like to easily, when Cass started approaching.*
*He was sitting on the ground with the tesseract in his hands, circling it in his palms. Hes absolutely enamored with it.*
Bezaliel wasted no time in approaching the young Archangel, his pitch black wings lowered to show that he truly wasnāt a threat while he hid his left arm from view, no one needed to see that monstrosityā¦ especially young angelsā¦ heād rather not scare themā¦
āā¦Cassiel, brotherā¦ I hope you know what you are doingā¦ anywaysā¦ Archangel Michaelā¦ considering how fast Archangel Gabriel isā¦ do you have any ideas on how to catch him..? Chasing does not seem like a good ideaā¦ā
Ori tucked his wings back around himself, not moving in any haste to talk to the Ferryman, and get the tesseract back. His brain was too busy replaying what he had seen, an endless loop carved behind his eyelids that he couldnāt forget, and he hadnāt even lived it in his own universe yet.
He glanced over at V1 and Hopper, hoping it wasnāt noticeable the way he was trembling as he stood, not bothering to hustle to do anything.
āRight. Theā¦ ferryman.ā
His voice was hoarse and wobbly, rough even as he looked towards where the Ferryman would reside on the ship. Cassiel and Bezaliel were probably going to find the kid anyways, but someone could talk to the Ferryman in their little group, if only just for information.
[*Bee makes a muffled honk from behind their visor and flips Michael off with both hands]
[*They stare at Ori for a few moments, noticing his trembling. They're tempted to try and snap him out of it and remind him about finding the tesseract, but ultimately decide against it
[*They poke Ori and sign, asking if he knew where the ferryman could be]
*Cassiel flew around the ship twice, looking for hidden places, then, he found it, he went in slowly, looking everywhere and taking off his mask so he would look less intimidating, wings dropped as he approached to the child. When he was almost in front of him, he crouched and smiled, showing interest in the object. He knew that showing interest in a child's toy would always make them happier.. even if this wasn't a toy.*
āHello, little one.. Trust me, please, my name is Cassiel, and I am just here to help you and play with you, if you let me. What is your name?.. You are very fast, you know? That was amazing.. Im sure you will be a very strong warrior when you get older, if that's what you want to be.. do you like warriors?ā
*Cassiel tilted his head, sitting on the ground slowly, always with slow motions so he wouldn't scare Gabriel off.*
Oh well FUCK you too you suit wearing THING. You can fuck all the way off!
Red. Come on.
*Micheal starts flying upwards while practicing DRAGGING Bezaliel with him.*
I haveā¦not a singular clue on how to catch that kid. Heās not exactly EASY to handle. Just gimme a dam minute and Iāll come up with something, for now just scan over the stern of the ship.
Our one saving grace is that he tends to GLOW.
Oh bring your brother he said! Itāll be FUN he said
*The storm began to pick up, not by much but itās clear that the already harsh weather of Wrath will only be getting worse from here on out*
*Being as exposed as Ori, bee, and V1 are is probably NOT a good idea*
*The child saw Cassiel before he even properly landed, he could see quite well in the dark*
ā¦hi
*The childās eyes seemed to light up and widen when Cassiel said he wanted to play with him.*
You wanna play with meā¦? Really?? No one ever wants to play with me! Everyone is always too busyā¦
*He seems shy, his knees bunched up to his chest and his voice a bit quiet. He seems to be getting a bit more confident in his words though*
Iām Gabriel! My dad made me to be very fast, Iām supposed to deliver messages when Iām older. Not be a warrior!
I donāt think the elders would like me going against what dad wants me to be, theyāre meanā¦.
Bezaliel wastes no time in taking to the stern of the ship, as commanded, his pitch black wings fully extended as he did what he was practically created to doā¦ watchā¦ he was a Watcherā¦ the Supreme Angel shook his head and continued searching, making sure to keep an eye out for a light blue glowā¦ which is when the vertical eye on his throat widened, seemingly picking up on something
āā¦Thereā¦ I can see a light blue glow in that corridorā¦ Cassiel is most likely conversing with Archangel Gabrielā¦ best not to intervene nowā¦ that will scare him offā¦ for nowā¦ I shall report back to Archangel Michaelā¦ and go from thereā¦ā
Ori glanced around the ship, not even being phased by the way the storm picked up around them. He processed the sign language much slower than normal, squinting under the mask as one of the wings around his face twitched out slightly.
āI have no clue. The Ferryman in my world always liked a room thatā¦ would not yet exist here.ā
His brain wasnāt running at full speed eitherā every thought felt as though it was lagging behind, glancing over at V1.
āAny ideas?ā
All Ori really wanted to do wasā¦ go home, at this point. Something that should motivate him further to find the Tesseract, butā¦ no dice. All he wanted was to sit down until he stopped shaking, whichā¦ might be never.

āHEAVEN SHALL FALL!!! HELL WILL BURN!!! THERE IS NO ESCAPING MY SCORN!!! BETTER RUN AND HIDE WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!! NO ONE ESCAPES THE FATHERāS SHADOWY GLANCE!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! ALL OF YOU REPROBATES?!ā
He couldnāt breathe. The air just couldnāt get into his lungs properly, he wasnāt sure if he wasnāt breathing or if he was hyperventilating, head whipping around as he looked at the chaos unfold.
He was frozen to the ground.
King Minos is dead.
It was an inevitable event in every single timeline.
The angel killed him.
It was unavoidable. The fall of Lust was part of every universe.
He was shaking. Everything felt weak, like he would collapse if he tried to move, ears ringing. Was spending every day and night trying to prepare for this not enough? Was seeing another version of Minos die really necessary?
He might be crying. He might be screaming too. He wasnāt too sure.
*Once Cass heard the cries, he froze for some seconds.. The fall of Minos.. The death of the humans always, always haunted him.. why?.. He got out of his thoughts as he heard V1, he agreed, he sighed and moved away from everyone, wings wrapping around V1 as an attempt to keep out the chaos and noise.*
āIs this better?.. I can try to find another place, just tell me.. I.. fear the death and fall of humans always seems to haunt me.. I.. I could never stop their fall.. I am such a fool..ā
*Before Hopper could do anything, the Tesseract suddenly stopped, flopping Bezaliel around a bit. It then proceeded to start. Floating up in the air with Bezaliel still attached to it*
*It then proceeded to teleport all part members somewhere new once again, the golden light seems almostā¦.dimmer this time around. Like itās running out of energy*
*When you all are able to see again, youāre on a wooden ship on what looks to be the river Styx. Looks like this is before the war, before the river turned to a grand ocean.*
*The tesseract detaches from Bezalielās hand and flys off to who knows where on the ship. That might end up being an issue-*
*In the darkness, 15 little eyes stare at the new group. Watching, waiting.*
*suddenly a voice rings out in the distance*
GABRIEL. COME BACK HERE.
*The eyes in the darkness look over to where the sound came from and take off in the other direction*
*Suddenly, someone appears. Their face is covered by a hood but their body language tells you that they are scared shitless*
Bezaliel was seemingly frozen in place, he recognized that voice and attireā¦ whyā¦ was he reacting like this now..? Almost as if on command, the Supreme Angel kneeled down, his left knee on the ground while the other remained raisedā¦ his head bowedā¦ this was instinctualā¦ he knew who he was in the presence ofā¦ even if the others didnāt, heād still show respectā¦
āā¦Apologies, for our sudden appearanceā¦ young masterā¦ we mean no harmā¦ is assistance required..? I am at your serviceā¦ Archangel Michaelā¦ā
Ori wasnāt stable when the tesseract teleported him away, stumbling and falling onto his hands and knees on the dock of the ship. He was still crying, tears running down his face as he shuffled until he was sitting down, wings curled around him, putting his head in his hands. He was just trying to breathe normally, trying to calm down enough to interact with the rest of the group once more.
He could hear Bezalielās reaction, could hear Archangel Michael speaking, but it all felt as if it was coming through a haze, where he just couldnātā¦ focus on it through his own panic.
Give him a few minutes to stop trembling, heāllā¦ probably be fine.
*Cassiel protected V1 as they were teleported.. Too much teleporting was starting to affect him, making him feel.. tired.. He looked around and sat down on the floor, keeping V1 close.*
ā..Michael?.. H-How?.. Do you know where are we?..ā
*Cassiel mumbled to V1. Seeing Michael only made him remember his husband.. That didn't really help since he started getting more anxious..*
Yes. I am Michel. Please just calm down. Thereās no need to fucking yell.
*If Micheal was completely honest, this many people appearing out of nowhere was unnerving as fuck. The only comfort he had was the fast that there was at least another angel here.*
*The one in red and the one in odd looking armor didnāt count to him*
As do where you are, you are all in the wrath layer of hell itself. How in the world did you all even get hereā¦
You all look like shit. The hell happened to youā¦
*A little winged blur wizzes by and lands on beeās shoulders. Hes light, he shouldnāt cause any toppling*
Hey I found this thing! Can I keep it??
*Itās a child, no older than 8. He has a light grey toga on and a leather messengers bag hanging from his shoulder. Wings are on his back, head, and on his ankles*
*Hes holding the tesseract like itās a toy-*
Where did you?!-
No. Give that to me Gabriel.
Nuh uh!
*The child hops off beeās shoulders to take flight, circling Cass twice before zipping off somewhere else in the ship*
ā¦.please do not tell me that belonged to you all.
āā¦Fuckā¦ yes, that indeed belonged to usā¦ Archangel Michaelā¦ itāsā¦ dangerousā¦ā
Bezaliel immediately stood up once he saw who he could only assume to be Gabriel not only grab the Tesseract but also fly off with it at near breakneck speedsā¦ thisā¦ was gonna be funā¦ he knew they needed to get it back
āā¦Archangel Gabriel is very fastā¦ if we are to get the Tesseract back from him, we need to act together this time..! Cassiel, brotherā¦ you follow meā¦ Ori, V1, Hopper you three take the other side of the shipā¦ do not leave each otherās sight, understood..? Archangel Michaelā¦ we are here to helpā¦ just give us the wordā¦ā
Ori got back up from his spot on the floor, pretending as if he wasnāt just having a full breakdown and panic attack, still trembling with his wings curled around him. He still feltā¦ not great, admittedly, but they had to get the tesseract back.
āAnd so it beginsā¦ā
He was really starting to hate that orb. Ori took a few steps towards V1 and Hopper, shaking out his wings to try and feel more ready for the chase that was about to ensue.

āāāāāāāāāāāāā
*Gabriel had invited you all to a hidden treasure room deep in Treachery. A huge area with dozens with beautiful items on display*
*A sword made of flames that had once belonged to the gate guardian of Eden, a shield that seemed to break time and space as it danced around itself and seemed to infinitely bend in on itself, a golden egg with pure light inside it, along with many other such treasures.*
Do feel free to wander a bit, but there are 2 rules I will hold firm on:
Do not touch or move anything, and under no circumstances should you get too close to that
*he points at the center of the room, there sat sat a simple golden sphere on a velvet cushion, encased in glass and chains made of light.*
That is what the elders called āThe tesseract.ā Itās a highly unstable little thing. Or at least it was back in the elders of heavens dayā¦best not to touch it
Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
āā¦Noā¦ no..! NO!!! Unhand me this instant..! Fuckā¦ thisā¦ cannot be happening..! Not again..! Iā¦ā

Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
*Hes not even speaking anymore. Just swinging. But the way he holds the sword, the way heās carrying himself, and what youve all seen his mental state to beā¦itās like heās only caring because someone is forcing him to care*
*in fact from the way heās moving, it looks like heās TRYING to get himself killed*
*Hes not even speaking anymore, didnāt seem to pick up on what cass said either. But he did hear Bezaliel.*
*He doesnāt know if he should attack him first or if he should break down at the question*
*He decides on the former, charging at Bezaliel with the longsword of light. Only to pretty much completely miss, he ends up charging face first into bezaliels wings, the sword doing nothing at all*
āā¦Iām not going to lieā¦ that did hurt a bitā¦ but only because my wings are still healingā¦ either wayā¦ are you quite finished, Archangel Gabriel..? Orā¦ā
Bezaliel flaps his pitch black wings once, which creates enough force to knock the Archangel down, he canāt help but feel bad as he keeps his right foot on Gabrielās chest armor, preventing him from getting upā¦ the Supreme Angel can tell that someone has control over the Archangelā¦ and he wouldnāt be surprised if it turns out to be The Councilā¦
āā¦Do I need to hold you down like this..? Listenā¦ I know not of why weāre here to begin withā¦ nor am I fully aware of your situationā¦ although I can easily guess that The Council has a hand in itā¦ either wayā¦ just stand downā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ā
Ori took a few steps closer, still holding his knives in hand. He was staying behind Bezaliel, but even without speaking it was clear he was threatening Gabriel. One wrong move would probably end badly for him.
āWhat is your issue? We have not done anything to you.ā
Gabriel had attacked them, it wasnāt as if they were hostile from the beginning. They had just been teleported here, and had barely taken a breath before Gabriel had started his attack.
They hadnāt done anything. His hands tightened around his knives, wings flaring out in an attempt to intimidate.
*He approaches Bezaliel and Gabriel, looking at Gabriel with empathy as a spear materializes in his hand, made of what seemed to be stars. The spear is very star shaped, it was very bright and seemed dangerous because of how pointy it was.*
*When Gabriel is pinned down he doesnāt even fight it. He could easily get away and continue the fight but he sees no reason to. He doesnāt even want to hurt these people anyway.*
*Its really only now does the ache in his chest return. His distraction gone, he feels all the pain he was pushing away rushing back*
GO AHEAD. MAKE MY DAY. STAB ME.
ā¦.please just kill me.
*He was still shaking and now his voice was breaking.
Bezaliel didnāt need to know more on the subject, he knew what Gabriel was talking aboutā¦ his deceased daughterā¦ Hollyā¦ sorrow washed over the Supreme Angel exhaled and helped the Archangel up and hugged him tightly on instinct, his still injured pitch black wings wrapping around Gabriel, he understood the painā¦ even though his disciple didnāt dieā¦ sheās been missing for decadesā¦ it hurt so muchā¦
Ori took a few steps back from Gabriel and Bezaliel, moving over to the side of the room quickly. He wasn't... good with people crying. Especially not Gabriel, no matter what variant of him it was. He would be better off standing to the side.
He leaned against the wall by the exit of the room silently, just watching everything play out. He kept his weapons in hand, ready to attack again if needed, the cut on his side still bleeding sluggishly.
*When he heard Gabriel, he knew that feeling.. he knew it too much.. He was glad he brought his mask when he started crying softly, silently.. He looked around, slowly approaching V1 and looking at him.*
ā..Child of men..ā
*He kept crying, yet he made sure it wasn't noticeable on his voice. He figured out that neither Ori nor Bezaliel needed his help, since Bezaliel was comforting Gabriel and Ori was already being attended.*
*He didnāt cry. No this Gabriel was too proud to let himself break in front of people like that. That was for him to do later and feel shame for it.*
*He was startled by being pulled into an embrace like like though, jumping a bit but eventually accepting the embrace*
*The tesseract started to act up again, the ball of metal stated to flicker to life and tiny sparkles could be seen appearing around it. It randomly appears near Cassiel, it was NOT there before-*
She justā¦.disappeared. No one a find her. I looked for 500 years.
How in the fatherās name can someone of that status justā¦.disappear.
*He started to try and get out of Bezalielās wings, not teleporting out of it, just squirming a bit*
*Now that you can really hear his voice, he sounds younger. Not as aged and worn down by time, it nice to listen to but a bit odd to hear*
Bezaliel didnāt fight to keep the Archangel in his grasp, he didnāt want things to get worse, so instead, he allowed Gabriel to do as he pleased, the Supreme Angel understanding everythingā¦ how much this hurtā¦ he was also stuck in this Gabrielās mindset when it came to his discipleā¦ even nowā¦ he didnāt even notice that the Tesseract was acting up againā¦ he was too emotionalā¦
āā¦As the Shadow of Godā¦ I should know these thingsā¦ but I donātā¦ I apologize deeply, Archangel Gabrielā¦ ifā¦ I truly had known where she wentā¦ she would be back with you..! I speak no lies..! Thisā¦ Iā¦ apologiesā¦ pleaseā¦ forgive me..!ā
Ori startled, not expecting to be approached as his focus was still on Gabriel and Bezaliel, as much as he was trying to look as though he wasn't paying any attention. He slapped a hand over the wound, tucking his arm tight around him with the movement.
"I am fine. There is not anything to bandage."
His voice was defensive, clearly not wanting or trusting anyone he didn't know to get too closer to him. They didn't... look like an angel, but there was still something in his mind that was screaming to not let anyone look at where he was injured.
[Ok Mr bleeding out of mysterious wound that probably came from battle, you wanna put an actual bandage on it or would you rather I slap on a piece of shitty duct tape and call it a day?]
[*While their helmet obscures any facial expression, they seem clearly low on patience]
*He looked at the Tesseract, why was it there?.. He moved away from it, a spear made of star shards materialized into his hand, protecting V1 from it. He nodded and hugged them.*
āThank you, child of men.. Can you tell the others about.. this?..ā
*He asked softly, smiling beneath his mask as he petted V1 softly, then, focused again on the Tesseract.*
*The tesseract, seemingly sensing resistance, started floating once again. A few moments later it roared to life, the metal turning to golden flames. It had seemingly gotten stronger than the last time it activated, just a little while ago*
It is no fault of yoursā¦such unfortunate circumstances are not able to be caused or manipulated by one person.
ā¦
*Gabriel was actually quite quiet until he spotted the floating ball of doom and despair*
Wait what is that thing. What in the world have you brought into this situation.
Get control of that THING before it does something!
*seemingly taking a cue from Gabriel to cause issues, one by one the tesseract enveloped everyone in a beam of holy light again, before disappearing itself*
*a few moments later the golden light dissipates slowly, remnants of it swirling in the air with golden specks floating around. The tesseract falls and hits V1 in the head-*
*Youāre all in a garden now, the sky suggests itās somewhere in lust. The city to be specific.*
*The garden is grand and lavish and beautiful. Orchids sprouting from the ground next to dogwood trees. Weeping willows and their gentile hanging branches with groups of lilyās at their roots. Walls of vines with flowers of every color sprouting from them.*
*The garden is surrounded by walls, but theyāre far off, this is quite a big garden. The walls are stone bricks, stacked high and sturdy. This almost looks like an old palace back in lust*
āā¦It is officialā¦ I hate that fucking orbā¦ is everyone alright..? No injuries sustained during the warpā¦ correct..?ā
Bezaliel stumbles to his feet once again, a little irate by the fact that the Tesseract decided to be a piece of shit during such an emotional momentā¦ exhaling, the Supreme Angel looked around, taking in the scenery, it was obvious to himā¦ this was Lustā¦ a pang of guilt struck him and he quickly turned to Ori, knowing full well how badly this would affect the Fallen Angelā¦ taking a breath, Bezaliel summons a bunch of shadows and has them surround Ori, forming a barrier around him
āā¦Weapons at the ready everyoneā¦ you never know what will jump out to attackā¦ Oriā¦ apologies old friend but I must make sure youāre protectedā¦ worry notā¦ the shadows will follow you should you decide to go on the offensiveā¦ theyāre a shieldā¦ as for the rest of youā¦ stay close and donāt wander off aloneā¦ understood..?ā
Ori stood once more, wincing slightly as he got up, hand still over his side, which he had torn open further when he had fallen, blood smeared over his hand. It was... fine. He was fine.
He took a look around where they had landed, wings tensing. He was incredibly glad his mask was covering his face, covering any distraught expression he must be making. He couldn't handle this, he couldn't be in Minos' home when he wasā
When soon, he'dā
Ori only tuned back in when the shadows surrounded him, panicking for a small moment and grabbing for his knives, uncaring of how he was smearing blood on the handle. It took a few more seconds to process that it was just Bezaliel's shadows, and he raised his voice slightly even as it wavered.
*Cass inmediately runs to V1's side, petting its head.*
āAre you okay, child of men? I.. Where are we?..ā
*He said, looking around and offering V1 a hug. The weeping willows and the flowers in general reminded him a lot of Taika, it made him sigh softly.. His little one.. He was so glad he didn't brought her..*
Bezaliel could feel his whole body trembling, but not in fearā¦ no, in a mix of sadness and happinessā¦ the Supreme Angel knew this was just the past butā¦ seeing the King of Lust aliveā¦ humanā¦ like he was before The Council forced Gabriel to kill himā¦ gentle, caringā¦ Bezaliel couldnāt hold back his tearsā¦ he pathetically fell to his kneesā¦ crying silentlyā¦ the despair outweighing the happinessā¦ heā¦ couldnāt do anything back thenā¦ to stop themā¦ he was too busy trying to make sure certain souls remained in the Voidā¦
This was like a nightmare to him so far, first putting him in the room where he had fallen to, and now thisā¦? A world where Minos was still alive, a mirror of his own, while Ori was stuck knowing he couldnāt do anything to save him? That he would fail in his own world?
His wings were drawn tightly to his back, not moving to comfort Bezaliel, nothing. Just silent agony as tears rolled down his face, hidden under his mask. He felt sick.
*Cassiel held V1 close, hugging it before he heard the voice, his eyes going wide open with surprise, a.. human?!.. His wings fluttered with happiness, he couldn't believe it, some tears fell beneath his mask..*
āK-King Minos..? A-.. human.. after all of these years.. I-I.. Can't believe it.ā
*He whispered, lowly, not to anyone, but to himself, and maybe to V1 too. He moved closer to Minos..*
āKing Minos.. I-.. My name is Cassiel, and these are my friends. We are.. surprised to see you.. Can we stay here? If it's not a problem for you..ā
*Cassiel moved away from V1 and talked directly to Minos, bowing at the presence of The King..*
Apologies for my apparent lapse in memory butā¦do I know thee? I cannot seem to place thine group
Wait a momentā¦how exactly did thou even get in the garden? The walls reach to high and not a single guard hath seen ye fly over them
*He very quickly notices that everyone seems either shocked or some level or confused*
Indeed I take on a human appearance, but I can assure ye that I am far from it. This is hell itself ye are speaking of, although I am quite confused on why you are so startled by this fact
*He very quickly notices oriās wound, walking over to him*
Doth thou require medical attention? Thine wound seems rather painful
Clouded, misty vision, muffled voices, Bezaliel couldnāt tell what was going on in the present moment, he was too caught up in the pastā¦ in his memoriesā¦ in his failuresā¦ tears endlessly fell from his pure white right eye and the vertical eye on his throatā¦
āNow do you regret your choice, traitor? All you had to do was give in and followā¦ā
The Supreme Angelās pitch black wings drooped fully onto the grass, he didnāt even try to block out that damned voice in his headā¦ he couldnāt get up to runā¦ he couldnāt fly offā¦ could he even call for his shadows in this state..?
Ori was silent listening to Minos talk, barely hearing the words coming from his mouth over the ringing of his ears.
He couldnāt do this.
When Minos directed a question at him, it took a moment to respond, his voiceā¦ weak. He sounded as sick as he felt.
āIā¦ am fineā¦ā
Every time he repeated those words, he sounded less and less convincing. The wound itself wasnāt very painful, he had fought through worse, but the more emotions he felt, the more ill he seemed. He didnāt move back from Minos, practically unable to, frozen at the sight of him.
*Cassiel looked as Minos seemed to.. ignore him..? Yet he didn't do anything.. He approached V1 and sighed.*
āChild of men.. Can you hear me?.. Or.. see me?.. Please tell me you do..ā
*..He was real, right?..The other's have been ignoring him for a while now, it seemed as if only V1 knew of his existence. He sighed again and gently hugged the machine, hoping it didn't make it uncomfortable.. He really wished to go back home.. He felt so.. left out, at least he had the machine by his side.. right?*
*Minos didn't mean to ignore Cassiel, he really didn't. The bleeding stranger in his garden just really concerned him*
Thou may say that ye are ok, but thine tone betrays thine self. Thou should really at least sit angel
*So much was happening at once, Minos just wanted to take a walk in his gardenā¦.*
by goodness why must this happen nowā¦with heaven in such distress.
*Minos turns to the rest of the group*
I welcome all of you inside, but I will warn thou that the palace isā¦busy. Mine people are dealing with the aftershocks of a heavenly crisis we cannot quite figure out
*Before Minos started to walk inside, he noticed Bezaliel on the floor not moving. So he picked him up, he was quite strong it seems-*
*He returns to Cassiels side*
Apologies for ignoring you earlier, angel. It only occurred to me that thou was speaking AFTER i had noticed your compatriot was bleeding. But it is quite nice to make thous acquaintance.
Bezaliel seemed stuck in a trance of his own making, he didnāt notice that the King of Lust had picked him up at allā¦ everything going on inside his headā¦ every memoryā¦ every failureā¦ how was he still holy..? Whyā¦ was he still holy..? Andā¦ what part of him deserved this..?
āThereās still time to fall, yāknowā¦ā
Fallā¦ abandon everything that heās becomeā¦ the Void that he watches overā¦ Purgatoryā¦ all the relations he hasā¦ is falling really worth it..? Whatā¦ would Abaddon and Emma think of him..? Heā¦ did so much to remain holyā¦ falling nowā¦ after eonsā¦
Ori barely reacted to the comment about the duct tape, barely reacted to Minos calling him an angel, both things that would usually get a strong reaction out of him one way or another.
He felt sick.
He didnāt want to sit downā sitting down meant giving his body enough time to rest and think, sending him spiralling even further from where he already was. His head was a chaotic mess that wasnāt slowing down, hadnāt slowed down in a significant amount of time.
He continued to stare at Minos, wings curling around himself protectively even as he wanted to break entirely. He deserved to be reminded of this failure, the way his Minos was doomed because of his inability to protect those he loves.
āIā¦..ā
He didnāt have much more fight in him about the wound. His brain was still screaming at him about letting anyone near him, about the vulnerability, butā¦ Minos had asked.
āā¦ā¦Okay.ā
He didnāt deserve his kindness even in this alternateā¦ wherever they were. He slowly walked in behind Minos, sticking to the back of the group.
*Cassiel soon picked up the machine again, his arms cradling V1 as if he had done this a lot of times before, because he had. Then, he saw Minos.. He was bleeding too, but he.. understood it wasn't as bad as the other injury.*
*Cassiel only nodded, hiding his bleeding wing behind his back as he started walking into the palace too, staying behind all of them.*
*Inside the palace isā¦.chaotic to say the least*
*People running all over the place in what is really a very coordinated dance of sorts. Everyone rambling about something none of you can properly decipher. Until one runs by hopper and is murdering under their breath*
Why is an archangel hereā¦why couldnāt it have been like a power or somethingā¦at least the powers tend to not openly carry weaponsā¦
*One comes up to Minos and whispers something in his ear and he goes pale. Quickly putting down Bezaliel near Ori*
I deeply apologize but apparently there is an urgent matter I must tend to, do feel free to wander about the palace
Oh and before it hath escape me once more, thou hath dropped this in the garden. It seems to be of importance so I hath grabbed it
*He holds out the tesseract, still a dull gold colored sphere, and places it in Bezalielās hands*
I must depart now but I do hope our paths may cross once again very soon
Bezaliel finally snaps out of his trance upon feeling something somewhat heavy and spherical being placed in his hands, the moment it makes contact with his massive, blood red, clawed, and demonic left hand, the Supreme Angel immediately looks down, dread seeping into his veinsā¦ the Tesseract was in his graspā¦ he could feel time slowā¦
āā¦W-What the fuck..?! Oh youāve GOT to be kidding me..! Everyone..! Brace yourselves..! This fucking orb somehow ended up in my grasp..! Iā¦ canāt seem to put it down..! My left hand wonāt allow it..! Fuckā¦ why me..?!ā
Ori's head snapped over to the one person rushing by that he could hear, dread seeping into his bones. If he had felt sick before, he felt even worse now, wings fully curled around himself like a blanket. He could barely hear Bezaliel over the ringing in his ears, watching Minos leave the group.
An archangel... an archangel in Lust... it wasn't him... this wasn't happening right now...
Was Ori breathing? He wasn't sure anymore, feet frozen to the ground as his gaze was fixated on where Minos was. He had to do something, he had to make sure this Minos was okay, heā
His head was a mess, thoughts tripping over themselves as he trembled, hand moving to tighten around one of his knives until the metal bit into his hands, trying to ground himself and failing.
HERE AND NOW AND THENāāāāāāāāāāāCLOSED RP EVENT
AND HERE WE GO. First time running an event, this is kinda like a test for myself to see if I can handle running something of this size
Also to show some world lore for my Gabriel-
Without further ado, I am pleased to showcase āHere and Now and Thenā
āāāāāāāāāāāāā
*Gabriel had invited you all to a hidden treasure room deep in Treachery. A huge area with dozens with beautiful items on display*
*A sword made of flames that had once belonged to the gate guardian of Eden, a shield that seemed to break time and space as it danced around itself and seemed to infinitely bend in on itself, a golden egg with pure light inside it, along with many other such treasures.*
Do feel free to wander a bit, but there are 2 rules I will hold firm on:
Do not touch or move anything, and under no circumstances should you get too close to that
*he points at the center of the room, there sat sat a simple golden sphere on a velvet cushion, encased in glass and chains made of light.*
That is what the elders called āThe tesseract.ā Itās a highly unstable little thing. Or at least it was back in the elders of heavens dayā¦best not to touch it
Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
*Hes not even speaking anymore. Just swinging. But the way he holds the sword, the way heās carrying himself, and what youve all seen his mental state to beā¦itās like heās only caring because someone is forcing him to care*
*in fact from the way heās moving, it looks like heās TRYING to get himself killed*
*Hes not even speaking anymore, didnāt seem to pick up on what cass said either. But he did hear Bezaliel.*
*He doesnāt know if he should attack him first or if he should break down at the question*
*He decides on the former, charging at Bezaliel with the longsword of light. Only to pretty much completely miss, he ends up charging face first into bezaliels wings, the sword doing nothing at all*
āā¦Iām not going to lieā¦ that did hurt a bitā¦ but only because my wings are still healingā¦ either wayā¦ are you quite finished, Archangel Gabriel..? Orā¦ā
Bezaliel flaps his pitch black wings once, which creates enough force to knock the Archangel down, he canāt help but feel bad as he keeps his right foot on Gabrielās chest armor, preventing him from getting upā¦ the Supreme Angel can tell that someone has control over the Archangelā¦ and he wouldnāt be surprised if it turns out to be The Councilā¦
āā¦Do I need to hold you down like this..? Listenā¦ I know not of why weāre here to begin withā¦ nor am I fully aware of your situationā¦ although I can easily guess that The Council has a hand in itā¦ either wayā¦ just stand downā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ā
Ori took a few steps closer, still holding his knives in hand. He was staying behind Bezaliel, but even without speaking it was clear he was threatening Gabriel. One wrong move would probably end badly for him.
āWhat is your issue? We have not done anything to you.ā
Gabriel had attacked them, it wasnāt as if they were hostile from the beginning. They had just been teleported here, and had barely taken a breath before Gabriel had started his attack.
They hadnāt done anything. His hands tightened around his knives, wings flaring out in an attempt to intimidate.
*He approaches Bezaliel and Gabriel, looking at Gabriel with empathy as a spear materializes in his hand, made of what seemed to be stars. The spear is very star shaped, it was very bright and seemed dangerous because of how pointy it was.*
*When Gabriel is pinned down he doesnāt even fight it. He could easily get away and continue the fight but he sees no reason to. He doesnāt even want to hurt these people anyway.*
*Its really only now does the ache in his chest return. His distraction gone, he feels all the pain he was pushing away rushing back*
GO AHEAD. MAKE MY DAY. STAB ME.
ā¦.please just kill me.
*He was still shaking and now his voice was breaking.
Bezaliel didnāt need to know more on the subject, he knew what Gabriel was talking aboutā¦ his deceased daughterā¦ Hollyā¦ sorrow washed over the Supreme Angel exhaled and helped the Archangel up and hugged him tightly on instinct, his still injured pitch black wings wrapping around Gabriel, he understood the painā¦ even though his disciple didnāt dieā¦ sheās been missing for decadesā¦ it hurt so muchā¦
Ori took a few steps back from Gabriel and Bezaliel, moving over to the side of the room quickly. He wasn't... good with people crying. Especially not Gabriel, no matter what variant of him it was. He would be better off standing to the side.
He leaned against the wall by the exit of the room silently, just watching everything play out. He kept his weapons in hand, ready to attack again if needed, the cut on his side still bleeding sluggishly.
*When he heard Gabriel, he knew that feeling.. he knew it too much.. He was glad he brought his mask when he started crying softly, silently.. He looked around, slowly approaching V1 and looking at him.*
ā..Child of men..ā
*He kept crying, yet he made sure it wasn't noticeable on his voice. He figured out that neither Ori nor Bezaliel needed his help, since Bezaliel was comforting Gabriel and Ori was already being attended.*
*He didnāt cry. No this Gabriel was too proud to let himself break in front of people like that. That was for him to do later and feel shame for it.*
*He was startled by being pulled into an embrace like like though, jumping a bit but eventually accepting the embrace*
*The tesseract started to act up again, the ball of metal stated to flicker to life and tiny sparkles could be seen appearing around it. It randomly appears near Cassiel, it was NOT there before-*
She justā¦.disappeared. No one a find her. I looked for 500 years.
How in the fatherās name can someone of that status justā¦.disappear.
*He started to try and get out of Bezalielās wings, not teleporting out of it, just squirming a bit*
*Now that you can really hear his voice, he sounds younger. Not as aged and worn down by time, it nice to listen to but a bit odd to hear*
Bezaliel didnāt fight to keep the Archangel in his grasp, he didnāt want things to get worse, so instead, he allowed Gabriel to do as he pleased, the Supreme Angel understanding everythingā¦ how much this hurtā¦ he was also stuck in this Gabrielās mindset when it came to his discipleā¦ even nowā¦ he didnāt even notice that the Tesseract was acting up againā¦ he was too emotionalā¦
āā¦As the Shadow of Godā¦ I should know these thingsā¦ but I donātā¦ I apologize deeply, Archangel Gabrielā¦ ifā¦ I truly had known where she wentā¦ she would be back with you..! I speak no lies..! Thisā¦ Iā¦ apologiesā¦ pleaseā¦ forgive me..!ā
Ori startled, not expecting to be approached as his focus was still on Gabriel and Bezaliel, as much as he was trying to look as though he wasn't paying any attention. He slapped a hand over the wound, tucking his arm tight around him with the movement.
"I am fine. There is not anything to bandage."
His voice was defensive, clearly not wanting or trusting anyone he didn't know to get too closer to him. They didn't... look like an angel, but there was still something in his mind that was screaming to not let anyone look at where he was injured.
[Ok Mr bleeding out of mysterious wound that probably came from battle, you wanna put an actual bandage on it or would you rather I slap on a piece of shitty duct tape and call it a day?]
[*While their helmet obscures any facial expression, they seem clearly low on patience]
*He looked at the Tesseract, why was it there?.. He moved away from it, a spear made of star shards materialized into his hand, protecting V1 from it. He nodded and hugged them.*
āThank you, child of men.. Can you tell the others about.. this?..ā
*He asked softly, smiling beneath his mask as he petted V1 softly, then, focused again on the Tesseract.*
*The tesseract, seemingly sensing resistance, started floating once again. A few moments later it roared to life, the metal turning to golden flames. It had seemingly gotten stronger than the last time it activated, just a little while ago*
It is no fault of yoursā¦such unfortunate circumstances are not able to be caused or manipulated by one person.
ā¦
*Gabriel was actually quite quiet until he spotted the floating ball of doom and despair*
Wait what is that thing. What in the world have you brought into this situation.
Get control of that THING before it does something!
*seemingly taking a cue from Gabriel to cause issues, one by one the tesseract enveloped everyone in a beam of holy light again, before disappearing itself*
*a few moments later the golden light dissipates slowly, remnants of it swirling in the air with golden specks floating around. The tesseract falls and hits V1 in the head-*
*Youāre all in a garden now, the sky suggests itās somewhere in lust. The city to be specific.*
*The garden is grand and lavish and beautiful. Orchids sprouting from the ground next to dogwood trees. Weeping willows and their gentile hanging branches with groups of lilyās at their roots. Walls of vines with flowers of every color sprouting from them.*
*The garden is surrounded by walls, but theyāre far off, this is quite a big garden. The walls are stone bricks, stacked high and sturdy. This almost looks like an old palace back in lust*
āā¦It is officialā¦ I hate that fucking orbā¦ is everyone alright..? No injuries sustained during the warpā¦ correct..?ā
Bezaliel stumbles to his feet once again, a little irate by the fact that the Tesseract decided to be a piece of shit during such an emotional momentā¦ exhaling, the Supreme Angel looked around, taking in the scenery, it was obvious to himā¦ this was Lustā¦ a pang of guilt struck him and he quickly turned to Ori, knowing full well how badly this would affect the Fallen Angelā¦ taking a breath, Bezaliel summons a bunch of shadows and has them surround Ori, forming a barrier around him
āā¦Weapons at the ready everyoneā¦ you never know what will jump out to attackā¦ Oriā¦ apologies old friend but I must make sure youāre protectedā¦ worry notā¦ the shadows will follow you should you decide to go on the offensiveā¦ theyāre a shieldā¦ as for the rest of youā¦ stay close and donāt wander off aloneā¦ understood..?ā
Ori stood once more, wincing slightly as he got up, hand still over his side, which he had torn open further when he had fallen, blood smeared over his hand. It was... fine. He was fine.
He took a look around where they had landed, wings tensing. He was incredibly glad his mask was covering his face, covering any distraught expression he must be making. He couldn't handle this, he couldn't be in Minos' home when he wasā
When soon, he'dā
Ori only tuned back in when the shadows surrounded him, panicking for a small moment and grabbing for his knives, uncaring of how he was smearing blood on the handle. It took a few more seconds to process that it was just Bezaliel's shadows, and he raised his voice slightly even as it wavered.
*Cass inmediately runs to V1's side, petting its head.*
āAre you okay, child of men? I.. Where are we?..ā
*He said, looking around and offering V1 a hug. The weeping willows and the flowers in general reminded him a lot of Taika, it made him sigh softly.. His little one.. He was so glad he didn't brought her..*
Bezaliel could feel his whole body trembling, but not in fearā¦ no, in a mix of sadness and happinessā¦ the Supreme Angel knew this was just the past butā¦ seeing the King of Lust aliveā¦ humanā¦ like he was before The Council forced Gabriel to kill himā¦ gentle, caringā¦ Bezaliel couldnāt hold back his tearsā¦ he pathetically fell to his kneesā¦ crying silentlyā¦ the despair outweighing the happinessā¦ heā¦ couldnāt do anything back thenā¦ to stop themā¦ he was too busy trying to make sure certain souls remained in the Voidā¦
This was like a nightmare to him so far, first putting him in the room where he had fallen to, and now thisā¦? A world where Minos was still alive, a mirror of his own, while Ori was stuck knowing he couldnāt do anything to save him? That he would fail in his own world?
His wings were drawn tightly to his back, not moving to comfort Bezaliel, nothing. Just silent agony as tears rolled down his face, hidden under his mask. He felt sick.
*Cassiel held V1 close, hugging it before he heard the voice, his eyes going wide open with surprise, a.. human?!.. His wings fluttered with happiness, he couldn't believe it, some tears fell beneath his mask..*
āK-King Minos..? A-.. human.. after all of these years.. I-I.. Can't believe it.ā
*He whispered, lowly, not to anyone, but to himself, and maybe to V1 too. He moved closer to Minos..*
āKing Minos.. I-.. My name is Cassiel, and these are my friends. We are.. surprised to see you.. Can we stay here? If it's not a problem for you..ā
*Cassiel moved away from V1 and talked directly to Minos, bowing at the presence of The King..*
Apologies for my apparent lapse in memory butā¦do I know thee? I cannot seem to place thine group
Wait a momentā¦how exactly did thou even get in the garden? The walls reach to high and not a single guard hath seen ye fly over them
*He very quickly notices that everyone seems either shocked or some level or confused*
Indeed I take on a human appearance, but I can assure ye that I am far from it. This is hell itself ye are speaking of, although I am quite confused on why you are so startled by this fact
*He very quickly notices oriās wound, walking over to him*
Doth thou require medical attention? Thine wound seems rather painful
Clouded, misty vision, muffled voices, Bezaliel couldnāt tell what was going on in the present moment, he was too caught up in the pastā¦ in his memoriesā¦ in his failuresā¦ tears endlessly fell from his pure white right eye and the vertical eye on his throatā¦
āNow do you regret your choice, traitor? All you had to do was give in and followā¦ā
The Supreme Angelās pitch black wings drooped fully onto the grass, he didnāt even try to block out that damned voice in his headā¦ he couldnāt get up to runā¦ he couldnāt fly offā¦ could he even call for his shadows in this state..?
Ori was silent listening to Minos talk, barely hearing the words coming from his mouth over the ringing of his ears.
He couldnāt do this.
When Minos directed a question at him, it took a moment to respond, his voiceā¦ weak. He sounded as sick as he felt.
āIā¦ am fineā¦ā
Every time he repeated those words, he sounded less and less convincing. The wound itself wasnāt very painful, he had fought through worse, but the more emotions he felt, the more ill he seemed. He didnāt move back from Minos, practically unable to, frozen at the sight of him.
*Cassiel looked as Minos seemed to.. ignore him..? Yet he didn't do anything.. He approached V1 and sighed.*
āChild of men.. Can you hear me?.. Or.. see me?.. Please tell me you do..ā
*..He was real, right?..The other's have been ignoring him for a while now, it seemed as if only V1 knew of his existence. He sighed again and gently hugged the machine, hoping it didn't make it uncomfortable.. He really wished to go back home.. He felt so.. left out, at least he had the machine by his side.. right?*
*Minos didn't mean to ignore Cassiel, he really didn't. The bleeding stranger in his garden just really concerned him*
Thou may say that ye are ok, but thine tone betrays thine self. Thou should really at least sit angel
*So much was happening at once, Minos just wanted to take a walk in his gardenā¦.*
by goodness why must this happen nowā¦with heaven in such distress.
*Minos turns to the rest of the group*
I welcome all of you inside, but I will warn thou that the palace isā¦busy. Mine people are dealing with the aftershocks of a heavenly crisis we cannot quite figure out
*Before Minos started to walk inside, he noticed Bezaliel on the floor not moving. So he picked him up, he was quite strong it seems-*
*He returns to Cassiels side*
Apologies for ignoring you earlier, angel. It only occurred to me that thou was speaking AFTER i had noticed your compatriot was bleeding. But it is quite nice to make thous acquaintance.
Bezaliel seemed stuck in a trance of his own making, he didnāt notice that the King of Lust had picked him up at allā¦ everything going on inside his headā¦ every memoryā¦ every failureā¦ how was he still holy..? Whyā¦ was he still holy..? Andā¦ what part of him deserved this..?
āThereās still time to fall, yāknowā¦ā
Fallā¦ abandon everything that heās becomeā¦ the Void that he watches overā¦ Purgatoryā¦ all the relations he hasā¦ is falling really worth it..? Whatā¦ would Abaddon and Emma think of him..? Heā¦ did so much to remain holyā¦ falling nowā¦ after eonsā¦

*Cass inmediately runs to V1's side, petting its head.*
āAre you okay, child of men? I.. Where are we?..ā
*He said, looking around and offering V1 a hug. The weeping willows and the flowers in general reminded him a lot of Taika, it made him sigh softly.. His little one.. He was so glad he didn't brought her..*
Bezaliel could feel his whole body trembling, but not in fearā¦ no, in a mix of sadness and happinessā¦ the Supreme Angel knew this was just the past butā¦ seeing the King of Lust aliveā¦ humanā¦ like he was before The Council forced Gabriel to kill himā¦ gentle, caringā¦ Bezaliel couldnāt hold back his tearsā¦ he pathetically fell to his kneesā¦ crying silentlyā¦ the despair outweighing the happinessā¦ heā¦ couldnāt do anything back thenā¦ to stop themā¦ he was too busy trying to make sure certain souls remained in the Voidā¦
This was like a nightmare to him so far, first putting him in the room where he had fallen to, and now thisā¦? A world where Minos was still alive, a mirror of his own, while Ori was stuck knowing he couldnāt do anything to save him? That he would fail in his own world?
His wings were drawn tightly to his back, not moving to comfort Bezaliel, nothing. Just silent agony as tears rolled down his face, hidden under his mask. He felt sick.
*Cassiel held V1 close, hugging it before he heard the voice, his eyes going wide open with surprise, a.. human?!.. His wings fluttered with happiness, he couldn't believe it, some tears fell beneath his mask..*
āK-King Minos..? A-.. human.. after all of these years.. I-I.. Can't believe it.ā
*He whispered, lowly, not to anyone, but to himself, and maybe to V1 too. He moved closer to Minos..*
āKing Minos.. I-.. My name is Cassiel, and these are my friends. We are.. surprised to see you.. Can we stay here? If it's not a problem for you..ā
*Cassiel moved away from V1 and talked directly to Minos, bowing at the presence of The King..*
Apologies for my apparent lapse in memory butā¦do I know thee? I cannot seem to place thine group
Wait a momentā¦how exactly did thou even get in the garden? The walls reach to high and not a single guard hath seen ye fly over them
*He very quickly notices that everyone seems either shocked or some level or confused*
Indeed I take on a human appearance, but I can assure ye that I am far from it. This is hell itself ye are speaking of, although I am quite confused on why you are so startled by this fact
*He very quickly notices oriās wound, walking over to him*
Doth thou require medical attention? Thine wound seems rather painful
Clouded, misty vision, muffled voices, Bezaliel couldnāt tell what was going on in the present moment, he was too caught up in the pastā¦ in his memoriesā¦ in his failuresā¦ tears endlessly fell from his pure white right eye and the vertical eye on his throatā¦
āNow do you regret your choice, traitor? All you had to do was give in and followā¦ā
The Supreme Angelās pitch black wings drooped fully onto the grass, he didnāt even try to block out that damned voice in his headā¦ he couldnāt get up to runā¦ he couldnāt fly offā¦ could he even call for his shadows in this state..?
Ori was silent listening to Minos talk, barely hearing the words coming from his mouth over the ringing of his ears.
He couldnāt do this.
When Minos directed a question at him, it took a moment to respond, his voiceā¦ weak. He sounded as sick as he felt.
āIā¦ am fineā¦ā
Every time he repeated those words, he sounded less and less convincing. The wound itself wasnāt very painful, he had fought through worse, but the more emotions he felt, the more ill he seemed. He didnāt move back from Minos, practically unable to, frozen at the sight of him.
HERE AND NOW AND THENāāāāāāāāāāāCLOSED RP EVENT
AND HERE WE GO. First time running an event, this is kinda like a test for myself to see if I can handle running something of this size
Also to show some world lore for my Gabriel-
Without further ado, I am pleased to showcase āHere and Now and Thenā
āāāāāāāāāāāāā
*Gabriel had invited you all to a hidden treasure room deep in Treachery. A huge area with dozens with beautiful items on display*
*A sword made of flames that had once belonged to the gate guardian of Eden, a shield that seemed to break time and space as it danced around itself and seemed to infinitely bend in on itself, a golden egg with pure light inside it, along with many other such treasures.*
Do feel free to wander a bit, but there are 2 rules I will hold firm on:
Do not touch or move anything, and under no circumstances should you get too close to that
*he points at the center of the room, there sat sat a simple golden sphere on a velvet cushion, encased in glass and chains made of light.*
That is what the elders called āThe tesseract.ā Itās a highly unstable little thing. Or at least it was back in the elders of heavens dayā¦best not to touch it
Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
*Hes not even speaking anymore. Just swinging. But the way he holds the sword, the way heās carrying himself, and what youve all seen his mental state to beā¦itās like heās only caring because someone is forcing him to care*
*in fact from the way heās moving, it looks like heās TRYING to get himself killed*
*Hes not even speaking anymore, didnāt seem to pick up on what cass said either. But he did hear Bezaliel.*
*He doesnāt know if he should attack him first or if he should break down at the question*
*He decides on the former, charging at Bezaliel with the longsword of light. Only to pretty much completely miss, he ends up charging face first into bezaliels wings, the sword doing nothing at all*
āā¦Iām not going to lieā¦ that did hurt a bitā¦ but only because my wings are still healingā¦ either wayā¦ are you quite finished, Archangel Gabriel..? Orā¦ā
Bezaliel flaps his pitch black wings once, which creates enough force to knock the Archangel down, he canāt help but feel bad as he keeps his right foot on Gabrielās chest armor, preventing him from getting upā¦ the Supreme Angel can tell that someone has control over the Archangelā¦ and he wouldnāt be surprised if it turns out to be The Councilā¦
āā¦Do I need to hold you down like this..? Listenā¦ I know not of why weāre here to begin withā¦ nor am I fully aware of your situationā¦ although I can easily guess that The Council has a hand in itā¦ either wayā¦ just stand downā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ā
Ori took a few steps closer, still holding his knives in hand. He was staying behind Bezaliel, but even without speaking it was clear he was threatening Gabriel. One wrong move would probably end badly for him.
āWhat is your issue? We have not done anything to you.ā
Gabriel had attacked them, it wasnāt as if they were hostile from the beginning. They had just been teleported here, and had barely taken a breath before Gabriel had started his attack.
They hadnāt done anything. His hands tightened around his knives, wings flaring out in an attempt to intimidate.
*He approaches Bezaliel and Gabriel, looking at Gabriel with empathy as a spear materializes in his hand, made of what seemed to be stars. The spear is very star shaped, it was very bright and seemed dangerous because of how pointy it was.*
*When Gabriel is pinned down he doesnāt even fight it. He could easily get away and continue the fight but he sees no reason to. He doesnāt even want to hurt these people anyway.*
*Its really only now does the ache in his chest return. His distraction gone, he feels all the pain he was pushing away rushing back*
GO AHEAD. MAKE MY DAY. STAB ME.
ā¦.please just kill me.
*He was still shaking and now his voice was breaking.
Bezaliel didnāt need to know more on the subject, he knew what Gabriel was talking aboutā¦ his deceased daughterā¦ Hollyā¦ sorrow washed over the Supreme Angel exhaled and helped the Archangel up and hugged him tightly on instinct, his still injured pitch black wings wrapping around Gabriel, he understood the painā¦ even though his disciple didnāt dieā¦ sheās been missing for decadesā¦ it hurt so muchā¦
Ori took a few steps back from Gabriel and Bezaliel, moving over to the side of the room quickly. He wasn't... good with people crying. Especially not Gabriel, no matter what variant of him it was. He would be better off standing to the side.
He leaned against the wall by the exit of the room silently, just watching everything play out. He kept his weapons in hand, ready to attack again if needed, the cut on his side still bleeding sluggishly.
*When he heard Gabriel, he knew that feeling.. he knew it too much.. He was glad he brought his mask when he started crying softly, silently.. He looked around, slowly approaching V1 and looking at him.*
ā..Child of men..ā
*He kept crying, yet he made sure it wasn't noticeable on his voice. He figured out that neither Ori nor Bezaliel needed his help, since Bezaliel was comforting Gabriel and Ori was already being attended.*
*He didnāt cry. No this Gabriel was too proud to let himself break in front of people like that. That was for him to do later and feel shame for it.*
*He was startled by being pulled into an embrace like like though, jumping a bit but eventually accepting the embrace*
*The tesseract started to act up again, the ball of metal stated to flicker to life and tiny sparkles could be seen appearing around it. It randomly appears near Cassiel, it was NOT there before-*
She justā¦.disappeared. No one a find her. I looked for 500 years.
How in the fatherās name can someone of that status justā¦.disappear.
*He started to try and get out of Bezalielās wings, not teleporting out of it, just squirming a bit*
*Now that you can really hear his voice, he sounds younger. Not as aged and worn down by time, it nice to listen to but a bit odd to hear*
Bezaliel didnāt fight to keep the Archangel in his grasp, he didnāt want things to get worse, so instead, he allowed Gabriel to do as he pleased, the Supreme Angel understanding everythingā¦ how much this hurtā¦ he was also stuck in this Gabrielās mindset when it came to his discipleā¦ even nowā¦ he didnāt even notice that the Tesseract was acting up againā¦ he was too emotionalā¦
āā¦As the Shadow of Godā¦ I should know these thingsā¦ but I donātā¦ I apologize deeply, Archangel Gabrielā¦ ifā¦ I truly had known where she wentā¦ she would be back with you..! I speak no lies..! Thisā¦ Iā¦ apologiesā¦ pleaseā¦ forgive me..!ā
Ori startled, not expecting to be approached as his focus was still on Gabriel and Bezaliel, as much as he was trying to look as though he wasn't paying any attention. He slapped a hand over the wound, tucking his arm tight around him with the movement.
"I am fine. There is not anything to bandage."
His voice was defensive, clearly not wanting or trusting anyone he didn't know to get too closer to him. They didn't... look like an angel, but there was still something in his mind that was screaming to not let anyone look at where he was injured.
[Ok Mr bleeding out of mysterious wound that probably came from battle, you wanna put an actual bandage on it or would you rather I slap on a piece of shitty duct tape and call it a day?]
[*While their helmet obscures any facial expression, they seem clearly low on patience]
*He looked at the Tesseract, why was it there?.. He moved away from it, a spear made of star shards materialized into his hand, protecting V1 from it. He nodded and hugged them.*
āThank you, child of men.. Can you tell the others about.. this?..ā
*He asked softly, smiling beneath his mask as he petted V1 softly, then, focused again on the Tesseract.*
*The tesseract, seemingly sensing resistance, started floating once again. A few moments later it roared to life, the metal turning to golden flames. It had seemingly gotten stronger than the last time it activated, just a little while ago*
It is no fault of yoursā¦such unfortunate circumstances are not able to be caused or manipulated by one person.
ā¦
*Gabriel was actually quite quiet until he spotted the floating ball of doom and despair*
Wait what is that thing. What in the world have you brought into this situation.
Get control of that THING before it does something!
*seemingly taking a cue from Gabriel to cause issues, one by one the tesseract enveloped everyone in a beam of holy light again, before disappearing itself*
*a few moments later the golden light dissipates slowly, remnants of it swirling in the air with golden specks floating around. The tesseract falls and hits V1 in the head-*
*Youāre all in a garden now, the sky suggests itās somewhere in lust. The city to be specific.*
*The garden is grand and lavish and beautiful. Orchids sprouting from the ground next to dogwood trees. Weeping willows and their gentile hanging branches with groups of lilyās at their roots. Walls of vines with flowers of every color sprouting from them.*
*The garden is surrounded by walls, but theyāre far off, this is quite a big garden. The walls are stone bricks, stacked high and sturdy. This almost looks like an old palace back in lust*
āā¦It is officialā¦ I hate that fucking orbā¦ is everyone alright..? No injuries sustained during the warpā¦ correct..?ā
Bezaliel stumbles to his feet once again, a little irate by the fact that the Tesseract decided to be a piece of shit during such an emotional momentā¦ exhaling, the Supreme Angel looked around, taking in the scenery, it was obvious to himā¦ this was Lustā¦ a pang of guilt struck him and he quickly turned to Ori, knowing full well how badly this would affect the Fallen Angelā¦ taking a breath, Bezaliel summons a bunch of shadows and has them surround Ori, forming a barrier around him
āā¦Weapons at the ready everyoneā¦ you never know what will jump out to attackā¦ Oriā¦ apologies old friend but I must make sure youāre protectedā¦ worry notā¦ the shadows will follow you should you decide to go on the offensiveā¦ theyāre a shieldā¦ as for the rest of youā¦ stay close and donāt wander off aloneā¦ understood..?ā
Ori stood once more, wincing slightly as he got up, hand still over his side, which he had torn open further when he had fallen, blood smeared over his hand. It was... fine. He was fine.
He took a look around where they had landed, wings tensing. He was incredibly glad his mask was covering his face, covering any distraught expression he must be making. He couldn't handle this, he couldn't be in Minos' home when he wasā

*He was startled by being pulled into an embrace like like though, jumping a bit but eventually accepting the embrace*
*The tesseract started to act up again, the ball of metal stated to flicker to life and tiny sparkles could be seen appearing around it. It randomly appears near Cassiel, it was NOT there before-*
She justā¦.disappeared. No one a find her. I looked for 500 years.
How in the fatherās name can someone of that status justā¦.disappear.
*He started to try and get out of Bezalielās wings, not teleporting out of it, just squirming a bit*
*Now that you can really hear his voice, he sounds younger. Not as aged and worn down by time, it nice to listen to but a bit odd to hear*
Bezaliel didnāt fight to keep the Archangel in his grasp, he didnāt want things to get worse, so instead, he allowed Gabriel to do as he pleased, the Supreme Angel understanding everythingā¦ how much this hurtā¦ he was also stuck in this Gabrielās mindset when it came to his discipleā¦ even nowā¦ he didnāt even notice that the Tesseract was acting up againā¦ he was too emotionalā¦
āā¦As the Shadow of Godā¦ I should know these thingsā¦ but I donātā¦ I apologize deeply, Archangel Gabrielā¦ ifā¦ I truly had known where she wentā¦ she would be back with you..! I speak no lies..! Thisā¦ Iā¦ apologiesā¦ pleaseā¦ forgive me..!ā
Ori startled, not expecting to be approached as his focus was still on Gabriel and Bezaliel, as much as he was trying to look as though he wasn't paying any attention. He slapped a hand over the wound, tucking his arm tight around him with the movement.
"I am fine. There is not anything to bandage."
His voice was defensive, clearly not wanting or trusting anyone he didn't know to get too closer to him. They didn't... look like an angel, but there was still something in his mind that was screaming to not let anyone look at where he was injured.
HERE AND NOW AND THENāāāāāāāāāāāCLOSED RP EVENT
AND HERE WE GO. First time running an event, this is kinda like a test for myself to see if I can handle running something of this size
Also to show some world lore for my Gabriel-
Without further ado, I am pleased to showcase āHere and Now and Thenā
āāāāāāāāāāāāā
*Gabriel had invited you all to a hidden treasure room deep in Treachery. A huge area with dozens with beautiful items on display*
*A sword made of flames that had once belonged to the gate guardian of Eden, a shield that seemed to break time and space as it danced around itself and seemed to infinitely bend in on itself, a golden egg with pure light inside it, along with many other such treasures.*
Do feel free to wander a bit, but there are 2 rules I will hold firm on:
Do not touch or move anything, and under no circumstances should you get too close to that
*he points at the center of the room, there sat sat a simple golden sphere on a velvet cushion, encased in glass and chains made of light.*
That is what the elders called āThe tesseract.ā Itās a highly unstable little thing. Or at least it was back in the elders of heavens dayā¦best not to touch it
Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
*Hes not even speaking anymore. Just swinging. But the way he holds the sword, the way heās carrying himself, and what youve all seen his mental state to beā¦itās like heās only caring because someone is forcing him to care*
*in fact from the way heās moving, it looks like heās TRYING to get himself killed*
*Hes not even speaking anymore, didnāt seem to pick up on what cass said either. But he did hear Bezaliel.*
*He doesnāt know if he should attack him first or if he should break down at the question*
*He decides on the former, charging at Bezaliel with the longsword of light. Only to pretty much completely miss, he ends up charging face first into bezaliels wings, the sword doing nothing at all*
āā¦Iām not going to lieā¦ that did hurt a bitā¦ but only because my wings are still healingā¦ either wayā¦ are you quite finished, Archangel Gabriel..? Orā¦ā
Bezaliel flaps his pitch black wings once, which creates enough force to knock the Archangel down, he canāt help but feel bad as he keeps his right foot on Gabrielās chest armor, preventing him from getting upā¦ the Supreme Angel can tell that someone has control over the Archangelā¦ and he wouldnāt be surprised if it turns out to be The Councilā¦
āā¦Do I need to hold you down like this..? Listenā¦ I know not of why weāre here to begin withā¦ nor am I fully aware of your situationā¦ although I can easily guess that The Council has a hand in itā¦ either wayā¦ just stand downā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ā
Ori took a few steps closer, still holding his knives in hand. He was staying behind Bezaliel, but even without speaking it was clear he was threatening Gabriel. One wrong move would probably end badly for him.
āWhat is your issue? We have not done anything to you.ā
Gabriel had attacked them, it wasnāt as if they were hostile from the beginning. They had just been teleported here, and had barely taken a breath before Gabriel had started his attack.
They hadnāt done anything. His hands tightened around his knives, wings flaring out in an attempt to intimidate.
*He approaches Bezaliel and Gabriel, looking at Gabriel with empathy as a spear materializes in his hand, made of what seemed to be stars. The spear is very star shaped, it was very bright and seemed dangerous because of how pointy it was.*
*When Gabriel is pinned down he doesnāt even fight it. He could easily get away and continue the fight but he sees no reason to. He doesnāt even want to hurt these people anyway.*
*Its really only now does the ache in his chest return. His distraction gone, he feels all the pain he was pushing away rushing back*
GO AHEAD. MAKE MY DAY. STAB ME.
ā¦.please just kill me.
*He was still shaking and now his voice was breaking.
Bezaliel didnāt need to know more on the subject, he knew what Gabriel was talking aboutā¦ his deceased daughterā¦ Hollyā¦ sorrow washed over the Supreme Angel exhaled and helped the Archangel up and hugged him tightly on instinct, his still injured pitch black wings wrapping around Gabriel, he understood the painā¦ even though his disciple didnāt dieā¦ sheās been missing for decadesā¦ it hurt so muchā¦
Ori took a few steps back from Gabriel and Bezaliel, moving over to the side of the room quickly. He wasn't... good with people crying. Especially not Gabriel, no matter what variant of him it was. He would be better off standing to the side.
He leaned against the wall by the exit of the room silently, just watching everything play out. He kept his weapons in hand, ready to attack again if needed, the cut on his side still bleeding sluggishly.

Bezaliel silently looks around, completely entranced by everything heās seeing, he recognized a few of the artifacts, especially the swordā¦ that gate guardianā¦ he remembered seeing it onceā¦ and never againā¦ what happened to it..?
āā¦The Gate Guardian of Edenā¦ Iāve seen that being in person onceā¦ but never againā¦ my memory fails me on what happenedā¦ā
Ori wandered around the edges of the room, peering at all the artifacts on display. He... frankly, wasn't sure why he even agreed to be pulled away to Treachery for this, but the artifacts were... curious. He had read about them, but never actually... seen them.
He looked at the shield curiously, head tilted, but his gaze was continuously drifting back to the item in the center of the room, the one that Arch had said not to touch. That was the one he was most curious about, naturally.
"Why are all of these things in Hell, and not in Heaven?"
He knew how... defensive Heaven got with their items, keeping everything tucked close so no one could get to it. So why was this stuff down here?
*Cassiel was away from everyone, his gaze fixed on a beautiful sword that shined like a beautiful star.. it reminded him of Taika, talking about her, he didn't take her there, she stayed in home.. He was wearing his mask, sadly, since he didn't like having it on.. After seeing more of the artifacts, he moved near Bezaliel, waving at him.*
āBezaliel..ā
*He signed his name, using the same signs as "shadow", changing it only a little for it to be recognizable, since signing the whole name was too much..*
*Gabriel was floating all around the room, both checking on the people he had brought and the artifacts. It had been a while since heād been there, longer than he shouldāve left any of these things alone*
*Bad things tended to happen when he neglected this area-*
Oh shit why does that have a crack on itā¦this is the shield of achilles for crying out loud-
*Gabriel nears Ori, seeing that he had neared the odd shield but his focus was on the rooms centerpiece*
These items have been deemed to dangerous to keep in heaven, we had tried to keep them in a vault once butā¦.it didnāt work out. So they were moved down here.
Since then no incidents of misuse or someone getting their hands on something they should not have have happened.
ā¦
Your gaze is focused on the tesseract, correct?? It tends to have that effect, a lot of people who have been here have said they feel drawn to it.
Thatās actually why we have it chained down, someone had tried to pick it up once-
āā¦Greetingsā¦ Cassielā¦ itās good to see you again, old friendā¦ā
Bezaliel greets the Archangel heās known for eons with respect while continuing to walk, he picked up on some commotion in the center of the room, Gabriel was saying something, he wanted to get closer, but as he did, another sword came into viewā¦ the Supreme Angel froze, he couldnāt look awayā¦ his pitch black wings puffed up in both alarm and anger towards the artifactā¦ his heartbeat quickeningā¦ his blood running coldā¦ everything around him seemed to slow as he stared
āā¦Samyazaā¦ thatās his swordā¦ I would know it anywhereā¦ that damned swordā¦ Iā¦ canā¦ stillā¦ senseā¦ hisā¦ energyā¦ā
Ori tipped his head to listen at Arch, but kept his eyes on the Tesseract, wings flaring out slightly. It was aā¦ curious little thing. He was drawn to it, wanted to pick it up to examine it, but he kept his hand resting on one of his knives, fiddling with that instead.
āTreachery is not the most pleasant placeā it probably deters visitors quite well.ā
He took a few steps closer to the Tesseract, circling it to examine it closer. He was probablyā¦ a little too close to it, admittedly.
āWhat happened to the one that picked it up?ā
He wasnāt going to pick it up. But information was information, and this thing wasā¦ incredibly strange. Ori had been alive a long time, and never had seen anything like it.
*He followed Bezaliel, seeing the sword and listening to him.. Samyaza.. his whole body trembled but he tried to comfort his friend, petting his back slowly, his gaze moved to the Tesseract.. Hearing what the others said about that object made him anxious, was it that dangerous?..*
*His wings twitched and moved, an object so powerful it could erase someone from time and space..? Why was it here?.. He had so many questions yet he never voiced them, he wanted to comfort his friend first.. even if he wasn't doing much.*
*Gabriel got a bit tense at the mention of that poor soul*
We uhā¦donāt know. They picked it up and were seemingly either teleported somewhere unknown, never to be seen again or instantly incinerated.ļæ¼
We keep it heavily guarded because of that incident.
*Hopper saying that the seemingly innocent ball was highly dangerous was extremely accurate. Very bad things happened the last time it was used, but the entirety of that info was lost to time*ļæ¼
*The tesseract saw an opportunity, an opportunity to lure in new people. On some level it had always been aware of things, not fully conscious, but there enough to know that it liked it cause issues*
*Now was a perfect time for that. It started calling out to everyone in the room, a gentile tug at their minds that they should pick it up. The feeling only got stronger the more time went on*
Bezaliel couldnāt tear his attention away from the artifact, that swordā¦ the one that belonged to his sadistic fallen Seraphim of a leaderā¦ horrible memories flashed in his mindā¦ no matter how much he triedā¦ to fight backā¦ to even attempt to kill himā¦ it was all in vainā¦ Cassiel was silenced by himā¦ so many failuresā¦ so many sins to atone forā¦ so many wrongs he needed to rightā¦ because of Samyazaā¦ he was so caught up in the past that he didnāt even notice what was going on in the center of the roomā¦
Ori was standing, staring at the Tesseract, hand tightening on his knife. He was curious, but he wouldn't... pick it up... he was smarter than that, years of being alive made him weary enough, anxious enough, to not pick up a random, dangerous object that could kill him on the spot...
But he didn't step away from it. He was concerningly close to it, close enough that if he turned in place, his wing would absolutely hit it.
He wouldn't pick it up. He wouldn't.
"They just... disappeared? That was it?"
...It could be a solution to his problem though. Protecting his partners from himself would be a lot easier if he just... disappeared...
[Yeah well, I'm gonna make sure that shit doesn't make anyone else disappear.]
[*They approach the tesseract, mumbling a few calculations to themselves]
[*They type down commands into their interface, summoning a small rift to open around it]
[Hey someone check my math, I can't let a small mistake throw everything out the window]
[*They start prattling off calculation after calculation while staring intently at the tesseract as it begins to merge with what seems to be a tear in space]
[.....oh fuck OH FUCK I FORGOT TO ACCOUNT FOR MULTIDIMENSIONALITY]
[*They frantically start trying to release the tesseract, quickly typing more commands and glancing at the rapidly destabilizing rift]
*He was about to hug Bezaliel, comfort him further, but the screams and the mental calls from the tesseract.. it was too much, his wings puffed out and he growled..*
āWhat is happening..? D-Does anyone hear it too?..ā
*He signed, looking at everyone, his hands trembling, he wasn't that weak to take the tesseract but it hurt.. He looked at Hopper, scared as he saw the rift..*
āBezaliel.. I-Im so sorry for what happened with Samyaza.. you know how I feel about him.. You know how we share the hate for that seraphim.. B-but.. we can't do anything right now.. I-.. I already tried my best once.. and I-.. got.. silenced.. I will try again if he does anything more to her.. You know I will.. But now.. We should try to stay alive and figure out why it's.. calling us..ā
*With the tesseract interacting with the rif in space time, it manages to come in contact with a spark of energy.*
*A spark is all it needed*
*The sphere roars to life, the metal melting into what looks like flames. A raging fire of holy energy. An unstable mess*
What is happening over ther-
WHAT.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO MESS WITH IT.
SHITSHITSHITSHIT.
*Gabriel rushes over to Hopper and the tesseract, removing the glass and chains to try and get it back to dormancy*
*Before he can even touch it, the tesseract shoots up into the air and one by one teleports you all away.*
*Gabriel is the only one left behind*
*As the tesseract engulfs you all in a golden light, you can hear Gabriel yelling. What heās saying is incomprehensible, but he sounds panicked and confused.
The light is warm, like anything holy is. You feel yourselfs being lifted up into the air, weightless. The light seems to swim through the air, swirling and moving constantly. An ocean of gold and itās beautiful.
*Just as fast as youāre lifted up, youāre placed down and the light dissipates. Some golden flecks still floating in the air and some wisps of light still lingering.*
*The tesseract hits the ground with a heavy thunk, like it had been turned to cold unfeeling, dead metal. It rolls away a bit before it comes to a stop.*
*Youāre all in the arena in heresy now, it looksā¦.different. Less damaged, newer almost. Like the rest of time has yet to beat down the area. The organ looks shiny, untouched, and unused.*
*No one seems to be here, odd considering that this place had become a bit of a hot spot since V1 and gabriels fight*
āā¦What in theā¦ name ofā¦ the Voidā¦ was that..?! Whoā¦ messed with theā¦ artifacts..?!ā
Bezaliel quickly yet clumsily got up, his head spinning as he looked around at the group, his pitch black wings puffed out in both frustration and alarm, but the more he looked around, the more his frustration turned into concern, his right hand reaching over to his left hipā¦ a very old instinct that came back to life
āā¦Howā¦ strangeā¦ weāre in Heresy, Iād recognize that organ anywhereā¦ hmmā¦ everyone, stay on guard, something is offā¦ this pristine image could be misleadingā¦ all of you have weapons, yes..? I suggest locating them immediatelyā¦ā
Ori had both knives in hand the second he had landed, looking around in a panic. His wings were fluffed up fully, and he only became further unsettled when he realized they were in Heresy, in the room he landed in when heā¦ fellā¦
āIt is too tidy to truly be the organ room in Heresyā¦ā
He would know. When he had fell, the room was looking muchā¦ rougher than it was now, and that was a while ago. It was too perfect. He creeped towards the exit to the room, wanting to be out as soon as possible, whether it was with everyone else or not. He only felt more panicked, more sick the longer he stared at that stupid organ.
*Cassiel got too scared to even talk or try to sign anything, he just materialized his scythe and held it close, stepping near the organ, his hands hovering on top of the keys before landing on them softly, it was.. uncanny.. how was this so.. new..? So unused.. it was uncomfortable.. His wings twitched as they moved again.. he was really uncomfortable, he looked at the room, staying besides the organ..*
*As soon as Cassiel saw V1, he approached, slowly making his scythe disappear as he took the machine into his arms.. A human creation.. how was it here? How didn't he notice earlier?.. This had to be a blessing.. That made him a little bit more comfortable..*
*As Ori creeped towards the entrance/exit of the arena, a holy presence can be felt by all holy (or EX holy) beings in the room. It gets stronger and strong untilā¦*
*A spear wizzes through the air, narrowly missing Ori, instead it embeds itself into the stone floor of the arenas entrance*
*A voice echos out a few seconds later*
āLeave this place you insolent thingsā
*Itās Gabriel! But he soundsā¦.wrong. His tone is flat, his voice devoid of any energy or emotion.*
*Something is very wrong.*
Know you are in the presence of the judge of hell. It is in your best interest to do as I say and leave.
Unholy prices of-
*His energy signature is all over the place, heās in distress of some kind. But nothing is telling you all what*
I suggest you drop your weapons. Fighting me will do you no good.
*He sounds just about ready to kill all of you without mercy*
āā¦As expectedā¦ do not be deceivedā¦ any of you..! This is Archangel Gabriel from the past..! He wonāt listen to reason..!ā
Bezaliel takes a breathā¦ his swordā¦ he hadnāt wielded it inā¦ eonsā¦ bittersweet memories surrounded the bladeā¦ but shadows werenāt gonna cut it hereā¦ Gabriel was too strongā¦ he knew thatā¦ exhaling, the Supreme Angel reached into his inner red robes and pulled out a long golden sword, one that shone with holy light, it resonated with his golden halved halo, itā¦ was his
āā¦As much as we wish to not fight youā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ it appears as though you refuse to let us goā¦ soā¦ as the Shadow of Godā¦ I will be your opponentā¦ do you hear me..?ā
Ori startled back when the spear flew by his head, whirling back around to look at the group, then back to the entrance. His grip tightened on his knives, and his wings tucked in closer to his back, making him a smaller target. It was clearly Gabriel butā¦ something was wrong. Something was incredibly wrong.
Like hell he would let Bezaliel be the only one to fight him, especially considering how he sounded. He made his way back to him quickly, watching as he drew his sword and lowering his voice.
āYou do not need to be the only one to fight him. He is one angel. We are more.ā
Strength in numbersā Gabriel couldnāt take them all on, even if Cassiel stayed in the corner with V1 while it rebooted.
[*They get ready to fire their gun, but keep it at their side]
[I'm guessing there's a tear in the flow of linear time. The tesseract must've triggered it with some sort of energy. I may be able to calculate its energy output and attempt to reverse it, but it'll take some time for me to be accurate]
[....But this means that we can't kill this Gabriel. If we do, we risk creating a discontinuity. Unless you guys wanna experience a time parabola or some shit, tread with caution.]
[*They immediately start scanning the area for any energy traces]
āHello, child of men.. do not be afraid, I will protect you..ā
*Cassiel whispered to V1 before coming closer to Ori and Bezaliel, they knew how to fight better than him.. he needed to protect the machine now, that was his mission.*
āIf you are so determined to fight me, a fight you shall get.ā
āyou shall all perish.ā
*He disappears for a moment, he then reappears in front of Bezaliel, he makes a clean connection. Itās not enough to completely take out Bezaliel, but it does quite a bit of damage*
*Strangeā¦.if he really wanted to he couldāve done much more damageā¦*
āIf you are truly the shadow of the father, ACT LIKE IT.ā
*He returns to the sky and summons a barrage of spears to send at the group at large*
āā¦Fuck..! Still as quick as everā¦ I seeā¦ wellā¦ I refuse to allow you to go any further..! Archangel Gabrielā¦ stand down..!ā
With a commanding voice, Bezaliel shoots up, meeting Gabriel face to face, as much as he hates going through all three of his modes, he has toā¦ with his sword trained on the Archangel, darkness fell over the entire arena, shadows moving erratically all aroundā¦ his left arm began to twitch, taking a breath, the Supreme Angel grabbed Gabrielās right shoulder with it, that blood red, clawed, and demonic left hand of his was so much stronger in the darkness
āā¦I know you can see in the darkā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ that has not slipped my mindā¦ howeverā¦ that does not meanā¦ I wonāt make the most of what I haveā¦ of what being a shadow has given me..! Nowā¦ eyes on meā¦ and ONLY me..!ā
Ori dodged the spear shot at him, taking advantage of Gabriel's focus on Bezaliel to throw one of his knives as the shadows covered the room. It was dark, but he had always done better in the darkness anyways, not stopping his pursuit.
He darted up close to Gabriel, pulling the knife out from where it landed only to go in for another slash, moving quickly and silently to be as efficient as possible. He couldn't kill Gabriel, but nothing was said about hurting him, and Ori intended to take advantage of that as much as possible.
If he wouldn't stand down, Ori would just continue to escalate.
*He couldn't stop the spear, but he managed to shield V1 with his wing, the spear pierced his wing, makin Cassiel cry in pain, he materialized some stars, they were pointy and seemed to hurt.. he commanded them to go for Gabriel, and so they did.*
*He sounded genuinely distressed. Bezalielās cursed arm had truly struck fear into his heart. It hurt too, a lot. It burned him where Bezaliel had grabbed him*
*He was so busy freaking out he didnāt see Ori approach and he got hit as a result. He just freaks out more, if he was a mess before, heās holding on by a thread now*
*He eventually manages to kick Bezaliel off of him and fly upwards. He could see just fine so this was of no issue.*
*He was shaking. Shaking in the kind of way when someone was on the verge of a mental breakdown.*
*He still fought though*
*He summoned a sword of light and attempted to throw it at Ori, in which he actually managed a decent slice. Nothing fatal but enough to halt someone for a moment*
*Gabriel teleported right above Bezaliel with a spear of light and extremely quickly dropped down on him with the spear*
*This time the hit was more intense, he had definitely felt flesh break*
āā¦Damnā¦ felt that oneā¦ listen to me, Archangel Gabriel..! If I truly was unholyā¦ as you claimā¦ then why does divine light still react to me..?ā
Bezaliel only said this to distract the Archangel, it was true, but he was also aware of the distress Gabriel was inā¦ he couldnāt risk doing something that would fuck with current eventsā¦ taking a breath, the Supreme Angel slipped into the shadows seamlessly, he knew Gabriel could see in the darkā¦ but not through shadowsā¦ at least not through the ones he commandedā¦ he watchedā¦ sword readyā¦ and lunged from a shadow behind Gabriel, easily tackling him to the ground, golden blade at his throat
āā¦Stand down, Archangel Gabrielā¦ and calm downā¦ none of us here mean you any harmā¦ and itās clear that youāre in distressā¦ so do yourself a favor and breatheā¦ slowlyā¦ ok..?ā
Ori startled back when the sword connected with his body, it wasn't anything near fatal but it still made him stumble slightly, alarms set off in his brain that he was hurt despite the injury not being bad to him at all... He wasn't sure why he was even concerned about the injury in the slightest but he was anxious that the wound would hurt... something.
His brain was oddly scrambled, his own blood on his fingertips making his head spin, but he tried to shake it off, moving to land another hit on Gabriel before Bezaliel reappeared. He darted forward again, but failed miserably, only doing a small scrape that served to put him way too close to Gabriel, stumbling away when Bezaliel reappeared. What the hell was wrong with him?
Bezaliel jumps into action immediately, he doesnāt know whyā¦ but his parental instincts had kicked in, somethingā¦ wasnāt rightā¦ Oriā¦ without thinking, the Supreme Angel set up a shadow shield around the Fallen Angel in question, one that couldnāt be shattered unless the opponent was a Seraphimā¦ immediately after, Bezaliel turned his focus back to Gabriel, he lunged at the Archangel once more, pinned him down, and decided to question him instead
āā¦What has you so distressedā¦ Archangel Gabriel..? This is quite unlike youā¦ of course you have every right to ignore my inquiryā¦ but Iām willing to listenā¦ā
Ori jumped back when Gabriel swung at him, his head was a mess but his reflexes were mostly in tact. Even though he would never admit it, he was grateful for the shield Bezaliel put up, allowing him to step back from the fight. He quickly felt where he was hurt, it was just a small cut on his side between his ribs, it would heal, nothing to be concerned about.
"I am okayā"
Or at least... as okay as he could be. He wasn't sure why he was fighting so poorly, why his brain had freaked out over such a small injury, especially in the middle of a fight where stopping could get him more injured. He didn't quite fully step away from the fight, knives still in his hands, but he didn't move in to attack again.

*Gabriel had invited you all to a hidden treasure room deep in Treachery. A huge area with dozens with beautiful items on display*
*A sword made of flames that had once belonged to the gate guardian of Eden, a shield that seemed to break time and space as it danced around itself and seemed to infinitely bend in on itself, a golden egg with pure light inside it, along with many other such treasures.*
Do feel free to wander a bit, but there are 2 rules I will hold firm on:
Do not touch or move anything, and under no circumstances should you get too close to that
*he points at the center of the room, there sat sat a simple golden sphere on a velvet cushion, encased in glass and chains made of light.*
That is what the elders called āThe tesseract.ā Itās a highly unstable little thing. Or at least it was back in the elders of heavens dayā¦best not to touch it
Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
Bezaliel silently looks around, completely entranced by everything heās seeing, he recognized a few of the artifacts, especially the swordā¦ that gate guardianā¦ he remembered seeing it onceā¦ and never againā¦ what happened to it..?
āā¦The Gate Guardian of Edenā¦ Iāve seen that being in person onceā¦ but never againā¦ my memory fails me on what happenedā¦ā
Ori wandered around the edges of the room, peering at all the artifacts on display. He... frankly, wasn't sure why he even agreed to be pulled away to Treachery for this, but the artifacts were... curious. He had read about them, but never actually... seen them.
He looked at the shield curiously, head tilted, but his gaze was continuously drifting back to the item in the center of the room, the one that Arch had said not to touch. That was the one he was most curious about, naturally.
"Why are all of these things in Hell, and not in Heaven?"
He knew how... defensive Heaven got with their items, keeping everything tucked close so no one could get to it. So why was this stuff down here?
*Cassiel was away from everyone, his gaze fixed on a beautiful sword that shined like a beautiful star.. it reminded him of Taika, talking about her, he didn't take her there, she stayed in home.. He was wearing his mask, sadly, since he didn't like having it on.. After seeing more of the artifacts, he moved near Bezaliel, waving at him.*
āBezaliel..ā
*He signed his name, using the same signs as "shadow", changing it only a little for it to be recognizable, since signing the whole name was too much..*
*Gabriel was floating all around the room, both checking on the people he had brought and the artifacts. It had been a while since heād been there, longer than he shouldāve left any of these things alone*
*Bad things tended to happen when he neglected this area-*
Oh shit why does that have a crack on itā¦this is the shield of achilles for crying out loud-
*Gabriel nears Ori, seeing that he had neared the odd shield but his focus was on the rooms centerpiece*
These items have been deemed to dangerous to keep in heaven, we had tried to keep them in a vault once butā¦.it didnāt work out. So they were moved down here.
Since then no incidents of misuse or someone getting their hands on something they should not have have happened.
ā¦
Your gaze is focused on the tesseract, correct?? It tends to have that effect, a lot of people who have been here have said they feel drawn to it.
Thatās actually why we have it chained down, someone had tried to pick it up once-
āā¦Greetingsā¦ Cassielā¦ itās good to see you again, old friendā¦ā
Bezaliel greets the Archangel heās known for eons with respect while continuing to walk, he picked up on some commotion in the center of the room, Gabriel was saying something, he wanted to get closer, but as he did, another sword came into viewā¦ the Supreme Angel froze, he couldnāt look awayā¦ his pitch black wings puffed up in both alarm and anger towards the artifactā¦ his heartbeat quickeningā¦ his blood running coldā¦ everything around him seemed to slow as he stared
āā¦Samyazaā¦ thatās his swordā¦ I would know it anywhereā¦ that damned swordā¦ Iā¦ canā¦ stillā¦ senseā¦ hisā¦ energyā¦ā
Ori tipped his head to listen at Arch, but kept his eyes on the Tesseract, wings flaring out slightly. It was aā¦ curious little thing. He was drawn to it, wanted to pick it up to examine it, but he kept his hand resting on one of his knives, fiddling with that instead.
āTreachery is not the most pleasant placeā it probably deters visitors quite well.ā
He took a few steps closer to the Tesseract, circling it to examine it closer. He was probablyā¦ a little too close to it, admittedly.
āWhat happened to the one that picked it up?ā
He wasnāt going to pick it up. But information was information, and this thing wasā¦ incredibly strange. Ori had been alive a long time, and never had seen anything like it.
*He followed Bezaliel, seeing the sword and listening to him.. Samyaza.. his whole body trembled but he tried to comfort his friend, petting his back slowly, his gaze moved to the Tesseract.. Hearing what the others said about that object made him anxious, was it that dangerous?..*
*His wings twitched and moved, an object so powerful it could erase someone from time and space..? Why was it here?.. He had so many questions yet he never voiced them, he wanted to comfort his friend first.. even if he wasn't doing much.*
*Gabriel got a bit tense at the mention of that poor soul*
We uhā¦donāt know. They picked it up and were seemingly either teleported somewhere unknown, never to be seen again or instantly incinerated.ļæ¼
We keep it heavily guarded because of that incident.
*Hopper saying that the seemingly innocent ball was highly dangerous was extremely accurate. Very bad things happened the last time it was used, but the entirety of that info was lost to time*ļæ¼
*The tesseract saw an opportunity, an opportunity to lure in new people. On some level it had always been aware of things, not fully conscious, but there enough to know that it liked it cause issues*
*Now was a perfect time for that. It started calling out to everyone in the room, a gentile tug at their minds that they should pick it up. The feeling only got stronger the more time went on*
Bezaliel couldnāt tear his attention away from the artifact, that swordā¦ the one that belonged to his sadistic fallen Seraphim of a leaderā¦ horrible memories flashed in his mindā¦ no matter how much he triedā¦ to fight backā¦ to even attempt to kill himā¦ it was all in vainā¦ Cassiel was silenced by himā¦ so many failuresā¦ so many sins to atone forā¦ so many wrongs he needed to rightā¦ because of Samyazaā¦ he was so caught up in the past that he didnāt even notice what was going on in the center of the roomā¦
Ori was standing, staring at the Tesseract, hand tightening on his knife. He was curious, but he wouldn't... pick it up... he was smarter than that, years of being alive made him weary enough, anxious enough, to not pick up a random, dangerous object that could kill him on the spot...
But he didn't step away from it. He was concerningly close to it, close enough that if he turned in place, his wing would absolutely hit it.
He wouldn't pick it up. He wouldn't.
"They just... disappeared? That was it?"
...It could be a solution to his problem though. Protecting his partners from himself would be a lot easier if he just... disappeared...
[Yeah well, I'm gonna make sure that shit doesn't make anyone else disappear.]
[*They approach the tesseract, mumbling a few calculations to themselves]
[*They type down commands into their interface, summoning a small rift to open around it]
[Hey someone check my math, I can't let a small mistake throw everything out the window]
[*They start prattling off calculation after calculation while staring intently at the tesseract as it begins to merge with what seems to be a tear in space]
[.....oh fuck OH FUCK I FORGOT TO ACCOUNT FOR MULTIDIMENSIONALITY]
[*They frantically start trying to release the tesseract, quickly typing more commands and glancing at the rapidly destabilizing rift]
*He was about to hug Bezaliel, comfort him further, but the screams and the mental calls from the tesseract.. it was too much, his wings puffed out and he growled..*
āWhat is happening..? D-Does anyone hear it too?..ā
*He signed, looking at everyone, his hands trembling, he wasn't that weak to take the tesseract but it hurt.. He looked at Hopper, scared as he saw the rift..*
āBezaliel.. I-Im so sorry for what happened with Samyaza.. you know how I feel about him.. You know how we share the hate for that seraphim.. B-but.. we can't do anything right now.. I-.. I already tried my best once.. and I-.. got.. silenced.. I will try again if he does anything more to her.. You know I will.. But now.. We should try to stay alive and figure out why it's.. calling us..ā
*With the tesseract interacting with the rif in space time, it manages to come in contact with a spark of energy.*
*A spark is all it needed*
*The sphere roars to life, the metal melting into what looks like flames. A raging fire of holy energy. An unstable mess*
What is happening over ther-
WHAT.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO MESS WITH IT.
SHITSHITSHITSHIT.
*Gabriel rushes over to Hopper and the tesseract, removing the glass and chains to try and get it back to dormancy*
*Before he can even touch it, the tesseract shoots up into the air and one by one teleports you all away.*
*Gabriel is the only one left behind*
*As the tesseract engulfs you all in a golden light, you can hear Gabriel yelling. What heās saying is incomprehensible, but he sounds panicked and confused.
The light is warm, like anything holy is. You feel yourselfs being lifted up into the air, weightless. The light seems to swim through the air, swirling and moving constantly. An ocean of gold and itās beautiful.
*Just as fast as youāre lifted up, youāre placed down and the light dissipates. Some golden flecks still floating in the air and some wisps of light still lingering.*
*The tesseract hits the ground with a heavy thunk, like it had been turned to cold unfeeling, dead metal. It rolls away a bit before it comes to a stop.*
*Youāre all in the arena in heresy now, it looksā¦.different. Less damaged, newer almost. Like the rest of time has yet to beat down the area. The organ looks shiny, untouched, and unused.*
*No one seems to be here, odd considering that this place had become a bit of a hot spot since V1 and gabriels fight*
āā¦What in theā¦ name ofā¦ the Voidā¦ was that..?! Whoā¦ messed with theā¦ artifacts..?!ā
Bezaliel quickly yet clumsily got up, his head spinning as he looked around at the group, his pitch black wings puffed out in both frustration and alarm, but the more he looked around, the more his frustration turned into concern, his right hand reaching over to his left hipā¦ a very old instinct that came back to life
āā¦Howā¦ strangeā¦ weāre in Heresy, Iād recognize that organ anywhereā¦ hmmā¦ everyone, stay on guard, something is offā¦ this pristine image could be misleadingā¦ all of you have weapons, yes..? I suggest locating them immediatelyā¦ā
Ori had both knives in hand the second he had landed, looking around in a panic. His wings were fluffed up fully, and he only became further unsettled when he realized they were in Heresy, in the room he landed in when heā¦ fellā¦
āIt is too tidy to truly be the organ room in Heresyā¦ā
He would know. When he had fell, the room was looking muchā¦ rougher than it was now, and that was a while ago. It was too perfect. He creeped towards the exit to the room, wanting to be out as soon as possible, whether it was with everyone else or not. He only felt more panicked, more sick the longer he stared at that stupid organ.
*Cassiel got too scared to even talk or try to sign anything, he just materialized his scythe and held it close, stepping near the organ, his hands hovering on top of the keys before landing on them softly, it was.. uncanny.. how was this so.. new..? So unused.. it was uncomfortable.. His wings twitched as they moved again.. he was really uncomfortable, he looked at the room, staying besides the organ..*
*As soon as Cassiel saw V1, he approached, slowly making his scythe disappear as he took the machine into his arms.. A human creation.. how was it here? How didn't he notice earlier?.. This had to be a blessing.. That made him a little bit more comfortable..*
*As Ori creeped towards the entrance/exit of the arena, a holy presence can be felt by all holy (or EX holy) beings in the room. It gets stronger and strong untilā¦*
*A spear wizzes through the air, narrowly missing Ori, instead it embeds itself into the stone floor of the arenas entrance*
*A voice echos out a few seconds later*
āLeave this place you insolent thingsā
*Itās Gabriel! But he soundsā¦.wrong. His tone is flat, his voice devoid of any energy or emotion.*
*Something is very wrong.*
Know you are in the presence of the judge of hell. It is in your best interest to do as I say and leave.
Unholy prices of-
*His energy signature is all over the place, heās in distress of some kind. But nothing is telling you all what*
I suggest you drop your weapons. Fighting me will do you no good.
*He sounds just about ready to kill all of you without mercy*
āā¦As expectedā¦ do not be deceivedā¦ any of you..! This is Archangel Gabriel from the past..! He wonāt listen to reason..!ā
Bezaliel takes a breathā¦ his swordā¦ he hadnāt wielded it inā¦ eonsā¦ bittersweet memories surrounded the bladeā¦ but shadows werenāt gonna cut it hereā¦ Gabriel was too strongā¦ he knew thatā¦ exhaling, the Supreme Angel reached into his inner red robes and pulled out a long golden sword, one that shone with holy light, it resonated with his golden halved halo, itā¦ was his
āā¦As much as we wish to not fight youā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ it appears as though you refuse to let us goā¦ soā¦ as the Shadow of Godā¦ I will be your opponentā¦ do you hear me..?ā
Ori startled back when the spear flew by his head, whirling back around to look at the group, then back to the entrance. His grip tightened on his knives, and his wings tucked in closer to his back, making him a smaller target. It was clearly Gabriel butā¦ something was wrong. Something was incredibly wrong.
Like hell he would let Bezaliel be the only one to fight him, especially considering how he sounded. He made his way back to him quickly, watching as he drew his sword and lowering his voice.
āYou do not need to be the only one to fight him. He is one angel. We are more.ā
Strength in numbersā Gabriel couldnāt take them all on, even if Cassiel stayed in the corner with V1 while it rebooted.
[*They get ready to fire their gun, but keep it at their side]
[I'm guessing there's a tear in the flow of linear time. The tesseract must've triggered it with some sort of energy. I may be able to calculate its energy output and attempt to reverse it, but it'll take some time for me to be accurate]
[....But this means that we can't kill this Gabriel. If we do, we risk creating a discontinuity. Unless you guys wanna experience a time parabola or some shit, tread with caution.]
[*They immediately start scanning the area for any energy traces]
āHello, child of men.. do not be afraid, I will protect you..ā
*Cassiel whispered to V1 before coming closer to Ori and Bezaliel, they knew how to fight better than him.. he needed to protect the machine now, that was his mission.*
āIf you are so determined to fight me, a fight you shall get.ā
āyou shall all perish.ā
*He disappears for a moment, he then reappears in front of Bezaliel, he makes a clean connection. Itās not enough to completely take out Bezaliel, but it does quite a bit of damage*
*Strangeā¦.if he really wanted to he couldāve done much more damageā¦*
āIf you are truly the shadow of the father, ACT LIKE IT.ā
*He returns to the sky and summons a barrage of spears to send at the group at large*
āā¦Fuck..! Still as quick as everā¦ I seeā¦ wellā¦ I refuse to allow you to go any further..! Archangel Gabrielā¦ stand down..!ā
With a commanding voice, Bezaliel shoots up, meeting Gabriel face to face, as much as he hates going through all three of his modes, he has toā¦ with his sword trained on the Archangel, darkness fell over the entire arena, shadows moving erratically all aroundā¦ his left arm began to twitch, taking a breath, the Supreme Angel grabbed Gabrielās right shoulder with it, that blood red, clawed, and demonic left hand of his was so much stronger in the darkness
āā¦I know you can see in the darkā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ that has not slipped my mindā¦ howeverā¦ that does not meanā¦ I wonāt make the most of what I haveā¦ of what being a shadow has given me..! Nowā¦ eyes on meā¦ and ONLY me..!ā
Ori dodged the spear shot at him, taking advantage of Gabriel's focus on Bezaliel to throw one of his knives as the shadows covered the room. It was dark, but he had always done better in the darkness anyways, not stopping his pursuit.
He darted up close to Gabriel, pulling the knife out from where it landed only to go in for another slash, moving quickly and silently to be as efficient as possible. He couldn't kill Gabriel, but nothing was said about hurting him, and Ori intended to take advantage of that as much as possible.
If he wouldn't stand down, Ori would just continue to escalate.
*He couldn't stop the spear, but he managed to shield V1 with his wing, the spear pierced his wing, makin Cassiel cry in pain, he materialized some stars, they were pointy and seemed to hurt.. he commanded them to go for Gabriel, and so they did.*
*He sounded genuinely distressed. Bezalielās cursed arm had truly struck fear into his heart. It hurt too, a lot. It burned him where Bezaliel had grabbed him*
*He was so busy freaking out he didnāt see Ori approach and he got hit as a result. He just freaks out more, if he was a mess before, heās holding on by a thread now*
*He eventually manages to kick Bezaliel off of him and fly upwards. He could see just fine so this was of no issue.*
*He was shaking. Shaking in the kind of way when someone was on the verge of a mental breakdown.*
*He still fought though*
*He summoned a sword of light and attempted to throw it at Ori, in which he actually managed a decent slice. Nothing fatal but enough to halt someone for a moment*
*Gabriel teleported right above Bezaliel with a spear of light and extremely quickly dropped down on him with the spear*
*This time the hit was more intense, he had definitely felt flesh break*
āā¦Damnā¦ felt that oneā¦ listen to me, Archangel Gabriel..! If I truly was unholyā¦ as you claimā¦ then why does divine light still react to me..?ā
Bezaliel only said this to distract the Archangel, it was true, but he was also aware of the distress Gabriel was inā¦ he couldnāt risk doing something that would fuck with current eventsā¦ taking a breath, the Supreme Angel slipped into the shadows seamlessly, he knew Gabriel could see in the darkā¦ but not through shadowsā¦ at least not through the ones he commandedā¦ he watchedā¦ sword readyā¦ and lunged from a shadow behind Gabriel, easily tackling him to the ground, golden blade at his throat
āā¦Stand down, Archangel Gabrielā¦ and calm downā¦ none of us here mean you any harmā¦ and itās clear that youāre in distressā¦ so do yourself a favor and breatheā¦ slowlyā¦ ok..?ā
Ori startled back when the sword connected with his body, it wasn't anything near fatal but it still made him stumble slightly, alarms set off in his brain that he was hurt despite the injury not being bad to him at all... He wasn't sure why he was even concerned about the injury in the slightest but he was anxious that the wound would hurt... something.
His brain was oddly scrambled, his own blood on his fingertips making his head spin, but he tried to shake it off, moving to land another hit on Gabriel before Bezaliel reappeared. He darted forward again, but failed miserably, only doing a small scrape that served to put him way too close to Gabriel, stumbling away when Bezaliel reappeared. What the hell was wrong with him?
HERE AND NOW AND THENāāāāāāāāāāāCLOSED RP EVENT
AND HERE WE GO. First time running an event, this is kinda like a test for myself to see if I can handle running something of this size
Also to show some world lore for my Gabriel-
Without further ado, I am pleased to showcase āHere and Now and Thenā
āāāāāāāāāāāāā
*Gabriel had invited you all to a hidden treasure room deep in Treachery. A huge area with dozens with beautiful items on display*
*A sword made of flames that had once belonged to the gate guardian of Eden, a shield that seemed to break time and space as it danced around itself and seemed to infinitely bend in on itself, a golden egg with pure light inside it, along with many other such treasures.*
Do feel free to wander a bit, but there are 2 rules I will hold firm on:
Do not touch or move anything, and under no circumstances should you get too close to that
*he points at the center of the room, there sat sat a simple golden sphere on a velvet cushion, encased in glass and chains made of light.*
That is what the elders called āThe tesseract.ā Itās a highly unstable little thing. Or at least it was back in the elders of heavens dayā¦best not to touch it
Even I do not dare touch it.
Any questions with any of the artifacts I am happy to answer!
Bezaliel silently looks around, completely entranced by everything heās seeing, he recognized a few of the artifacts, especially the swordā¦ that gate guardianā¦ he remembered seeing it onceā¦ and never againā¦ what happened to it..?
āā¦The Gate Guardian of Edenā¦ Iāve seen that being in person onceā¦ but never againā¦ my memory fails me on what happenedā¦ā
Ori wandered around the edges of the room, peering at all the artifacts on display. He... frankly, wasn't sure why he even agreed to be pulled away to Treachery for this, but the artifacts were... curious. He had read about them, but never actually... seen them.

"Why are all of these things in Hell, and not in Heaven?"

These items have been deemed to dangerous to keep in heaven, we had tried to keep them in a vault once butā¦.it didnāt work out. So they were moved down here.
Since then no incidents of misuse or someone getting their hands on something they should not have have happened.
ā¦
Your gaze is focused on the tesseract, correct?? It tends to have that effect, a lot of people who have been here have said they feel drawn to it.
Thatās actually why we have it chained down, someone had tried to pick it up once-
āā¦Greetingsā¦ Cassielā¦ itās good to see you again, old friendā¦ā
Bezaliel greets the Archangel heās known for eons with respect while continuing to walk, he picked up on some commotion in the center of the room, Gabriel was saying something, he wanted to get closer, but as he did, another sword came into viewā¦ the Supreme Angel froze, he couldnāt look awayā¦ his pitch black wings puffed up in both alarm and anger towards the artifactā¦ his heartbeat quickeningā¦ his blood running coldā¦ everything around him seemed to slow as he stared
āā¦Samyazaā¦ thatās his swordā¦ I would know it anywhereā¦ that damned swordā¦ Iā¦ canā¦ stillā¦ senseā¦ hisā¦ energyā¦ā

*With the tesseract interacting with the rif in space time, it manages to come in contact with a spark of energy.*
*A spark is all it needed*
*The sphere roars to life, the metal melting into what looks like flames. A raging fire of holy energy. An unstable mess*
What is happening over ther-
WHAT.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO MESS WITH IT.
SHITSHITSHITSHIT.
*Gabriel rushes over to Hopper and the tesseract, removing the glass and chains to try and get it back to dormancy*
*Before he can even touch it, the tesseract shoots up into the air and one by one teleports you all away.*

*Youāre all in the arena in heresy now, it looksā¦.different. Less damaged, newer almost. Like the rest of time has yet to beat down the area. The organ looks shiny, untouched, and unused.*
*No one seems to be here, odd considering that this place had become a bit of a hot spot since V1 and gabriels fight*
āā¦What in theā¦ name ofā¦ the Voidā¦ was that..?! Whoā¦ messed with theā¦ artifacts..?!ā
Bezaliel quickly yet clumsily got up, his head spinning as he looked around at the group, his pitch black wings puffed out in both frustration and alarm, but the more he looked around, the more his frustration turned into concern, his right hand reaching over to his left hipā¦ a very old instinct that came back to life
āā¦Howā¦ strangeā¦ weāre in Heresy, Iād recognize that organ anywhereā¦ hmmā¦ everyone, stay on guard, something is offā¦ this pristine image could be misleadingā¦ all of you have weapons, yes..? I suggest locating them immediatelyā¦ā
Ori had both knives in hand the second he had landed, looking around in a panic. His wings were fluffed up fully, and he only became further unsettled when he realized they were in Heresy, in the room he landed in when heā¦ fellā¦
āIt is too tidy to truly be the organ room in Heresyā¦ā
He would know. When he had fell, the room was looking muchā¦ rougher than it was now, and that was a while ago. It was too perfect. He creeped towards the exit to the room, wanting to be out as soon as possible, whether it was with everyone else or not. He only felt more panicked, more sick the longer he stared at that stupid organ.
*Cassiel got too scared to even talk or try to sign anything, he just materialized his scythe and held it close, stepping near the organ, his hands hovering on top of the keys before landing on them softly, it was.. uncanny.. how was this so.. new..? So unused.. it was uncomfortable.. His wings twitched as they moved again.. he was really uncomfortable, he looked at the room, staying besides the organ..*
*As soon as Cassiel saw V1, he approached, slowly making his scythe disappear as he took the machine into his arms.. A human creation.. how was it here? How didn't he notice earlier?.. This had to be a blessing.. That made him a little bit more comfortable..*
*As Ori creeped towards the entrance/exit of the arena, a holy presence can be felt by all holy (or EX holy) beings in the room. It gets stronger and strong untilā¦*
*A spear wizzes through the air, narrowly missing Ori, instead it embeds itself into the stone floor of the arenas entrance*
*A voice echos out a few seconds later*
āLeave this place you insolent thingsā
*Itās Gabriel! But he soundsā¦.wrong. His tone is flat, his voice devoid of any energy or emotion.*
*Something is very wrong.*
Know you are in the presence of the judge of hell. It is in your best interest to do as I say and leave.
Unholy prices of-
*His energy signature is all over the place, heās in distress of some kind. But nothing is telling you all what*
I suggest you drop your weapons. Fighting me will do you no good.
*He sounds just about ready to kill all of you without mercy*
āā¦As expectedā¦ do not be deceivedā¦ any of you..! This is Archangel Gabriel from the past..! He wonāt listen to reason..!ā
Bezaliel takes a breathā¦ his swordā¦ he hadnāt wielded it inā¦ eonsā¦ bittersweet memories surrounded the bladeā¦ but shadows werenāt gonna cut it hereā¦ Gabriel was too strongā¦ he knew thatā¦ exhaling, the Supreme Angel reached into his inner red robes and pulled out a long golden sword, one that shone with holy light, it resonated with his golden halved halo, itā¦ was his
āā¦As much as we wish to not fight youā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ it appears as though you refuse to let us goā¦ soā¦ as the Shadow of Godā¦ I will be your opponentā¦ do you hear me..?ā
Ori startled back when the spear flew by his head, whirling back around to look at the group, then back to the entrance. His grip tightened on his knives, and his wings tucked in closer to his back, making him a smaller target. It was clearly Gabriel butā¦ something was wrong. Something was incredibly wrong.
Like hell he would let Bezaliel be the only one to fight him, especially considering how he sounded. He made his way back to him quickly, watching as he drew his sword and lowering his voice.
āYou do not need to be the only one to fight him. He is one angel. We are more.ā
Strength in numbersā Gabriel couldnāt take them all on, even if Cassiel stayed in the corner with V1 while it rebooted.
[*They get ready to fire their gun, but keep it at their side]
[I'm guessing there's a tear in the flow of linear time. The tesseract must've triggered it with some sort of energy. I may be able to calculate its energy output and attempt to reverse it, but it'll take some time for me to be accurate]
[....But this means that we can't kill this Gabriel. If we do, we risk creating a discontinuity. Unless you guys wanna experience a time parabola or some shit, tread with caution.]
[*They immediately start scanning the area for any energy traces]
āHello, child of men.. do not be afraid, I will protect you..ā
*Cassiel whispered to V1 before coming closer to Ori and Bezaliel, they knew how to fight better than him.. he needed to protect the machine now, that was his mission.*
āIf you are so determined to fight me, a fight you shall get.ā
āyou shall all perish.ā
*He disappears for a moment, he then reappears in front of Bezaliel, he makes a clean connection. Itās not enough to completely take out Bezaliel, but it does quite a bit of damage*
*Strangeā¦.if he really wanted to he couldāve done much more damageā¦*
āIf you are truly the shadow of the father, ACT LIKE IT.ā
*He returns to the sky and summons a barrage of spears to send at the group at large*
āā¦Fuck..! Still as quick as everā¦ I seeā¦ wellā¦ I refuse to allow you to go any further..! Archangel Gabrielā¦ stand down..!ā
With a commanding voice, Bezaliel shoots up, meeting Gabriel face to face, as much as he hates going through all three of his modes, he has toā¦ with his sword trained on the Archangel, darkness fell over the entire arena, shadows moving erratically all aroundā¦ his left arm began to twitch, taking a breath, the Supreme Angel grabbed Gabrielās right shoulder with it, that blood red, clawed, and demonic left hand of his was so much stronger in the darkness
āā¦I know you can see in the darkā¦ Archangel Gabrielā¦ that has not slipped my mindā¦ howeverā¦ that does not meanā¦ I wonāt make the most of what I haveā¦ of what being a shadow has given me..! Nowā¦ eyes on meā¦ and ONLY me..!ā
Ori dodged the spear shot at him, taking advantage of Gabriel's focus on Bezaliel to throw one of his knives as the shadows covered the room. It was dark, but he had always done better in the darkness anyways, not stopping his pursuit.
He darted up close to Gabriel, pulling the knife out from where it landed only to go in for another slash, moving quickly and silently to be as efficient as possible. He couldn't kill Gabriel, but nothing was said about hurting him, and Ori intended to take advantage of that as much as possible.
If he wouldn't stand down, Ori would just continue to escalate.
