We'll find this was no surprise;

[sirenicall]

[It seems like a new room has appeared in one of the main hallways. The door opens to what looks like a zoo, filled with stands providing everything from hot dogs to ice cream, and a merry-go-round in the center of it all, equip with that goofy children's music. There are cages and walled off areas behind electric fences, and within those cages, where one would expect to see all different kinds of animals, there are people. Some sleeping, some awake and looking around with confused expressions, each with a sign in front of their cage explaining what they are, where they came from, and a short paragraph about their lifestyle. Feel free to roam around and investigate, or figure out a way to get them out of there.]

[ooc: multi-character post. all my characters are in one of those cages, and any that have future/past versions are in the same cage as the original. Example: whispery_song, sirenicall, and hushed_aria are all in the same cage. If you want someone specific, just let me know, otherwise I'll just throw whoever seems appropriate c:]

[... devil or not, she can't help but give him respect points for that, so angelku, you just put yourself considerably lower on her 'who to kill' list.]

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[psh, deep down you know you're a softie.]

If you're so worried about deals, we can call it even if you'd scratch by back for me where I've not been able to reach.

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[.... gives him a look, though she doesn't like being in debt to angels.]

And where exactly is that?

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[points vaguely over his shoulder, more toward his regrowing wings really. they've gotten larger but they're still not close to being fully formed. there aren't even real feathers yet, just fluffy gray down feathers]

I can't reach my wings, or between them.

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates, but finally sighs and just walks over, scratching at the general area.]

Here?

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

That whole area, yes.

[leeeans a bit into her touch. a lot of that itching is from the wings growing, but the rest is from those lovely scars your boyfriend gave him]

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[... yeah she sees those, but she's not asking. Just keeps scratching all around.]

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[those are some very happy little noises you're getting out of him, and his wings are stretching out a bit as she touches them, bits of stray down feathers occasionally coming loose]

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[Oh my god she is going to be mocked so much in hell for this. Keeps up with it.]

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[he's certainly not going to tell her when to stop, either. it just feels too good]

Ooh, right there, right there...

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[Okay, keeps scritching that spot, then. Now she's just faintly amused by this.]

Your leg isn't going to start kicking anytime now, is it?

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

If I were an animal, it just might.

[shifts just a little, so her hand gets all around in that spot]

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[scritchscritchscritch.]

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[turns finally, catching your hand in his and giving the back of it a little kiss like he's seen humans do, giving you a warm smile]

Thank you, Namine. You can stop if you like, though I wouldn't say no if you wished to continue.

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[asdfghj yanks her hand away and whacks him over the head with an insulted 'ugh!'. Ew angel kisses 8|]

I owed you one for pressing a button. That's all you're getting from me.

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[...pff, he can't help but laugh softly, even at the whacking]

You didn't really owe me at all, remember?

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[Glares slightly. You stupid angels with all your happiness.]

Right.

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[counters that glare with a smile]

Which means... you did something nice for someone.

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[Glares harder, opening her mouth to retort, but she stops short, remembering a time when doing nice things was a common occurrence. After a moment she just crosses her arms, looking sour.]

Don't make me regret it.

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[his wings twitch a bit, and he continues to smile]

I'd never do that. It was nice to see you in a good mood, after all.

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[Ghh what is it about you that makes her so not smirky and sarcastic as usual >:| ]

You call this a good mood?

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

Should I kick my leg for you a little?

[he's teasing, and reminding you of the joke you made earlier. he really doesn't know if he's having any effect on you beyond the norm, but if you're remembering doing good things before he certainly isn't going to see that as a bad thing]

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

Please do.

[She has been thinking a lot about how she used to be and how she is now, lately.]

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

Hm, I might need a little help with motivation...

[nooo, he isn't corrupting you back to the light. he's just hoping for more scritches. really!]

[vanishinghopes.livejournal.com]

[Silly, she can't go back to something she never had!]

Fuck motivation, I'll do it for you.

[Aims a kick for your shin!]
