Angelus/Everto Quero (RPG thread)

[Renos Babe]

Micheal bowed her head in respect, "It is an honor" she said quietly scared rather shitless at this point as she slowly took her seat.

[Nefieslab]

Lucifer looked at Lilith for a few moments before raising his eyebrow again,

"Another one?" he looked up at Azrael, who was just sitting down, "What did the Morning Star call them again Azrael?"

Azrael stiffened a little as he was addressed but he quickly recovered with a small smile,

"I believe that he referred to them as 'screaming fan-girls' Council Member." he acknowledged politely. Lucifer's eyebrow lowered and he nodded sagely,

"Ah yes. Although I am thankful that you did not seem to feel the need to go into the same graphic descriptions of what one could do with such fan-girls, as well as his theories on why it is that they scream." he responded in a dry monotone. He suddenly turned his head to the corner of the room with a small frown of annoyance, "Morning Star. It is unbecoming of a Council Member to hide in the shadows and snigger."

The shadows of the corner in question seemed to detach from the wall in a vaguely humanoid shape. Slowly the shape began to shed some of the shadows to appear more human. It became apparent soon enough that the shadow was in fact a seemingly younger man. He was tall, as most angels were, and his wings were a large, tattered affair of grey feathers and exposed bone. His skin was the pale hue that accomanied living in Hell for so long while his long, black hair was held back in a ponytail to keep a smart appearance. Dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a Coldplay t-shirt, he appeared to be some form of collage student and not the first of the Fallen. He grinned, exposing perfect teeth, and a sparkle was found in his green eyes,

"It is unbecoming for you perhaps Lucy but you have an appearance to maintain." he joked, earning a glare from the usually calm and collected demon. As he moved towards the table, Micheal was responding to Lucifer,

It is an honor

The Morning Star sniggered again,

"An honor? Is that what the kids call 'scared out of your wings' nowadays?" he chuckled a little and slid in a seat closer to Lilith than Lucifer. He looked Lilith up and down before turning to Azrael, "You do keep the best company Az... and here I thought you couldn't top snagging Arael. Angel of brids indeed..."

Azrael frowned a little,

"Its not like that Cain." he responded. The Morning Star bristled,

"You know I don't like it when you use my human name James. It gives some people..." he looked pointedly at Micheal, "Ideas."

Azrael scowled,

"And I don't like my human name paraded around like that either. Now we can move past this... as soon as you burn the t-shirt." he added, lightening the mood. The Morning Star pouted,

"This band is very popular on earth I'll have you know! Lots of people like them! I bet even Mrs Stuffy and Ms Loose like Coldplay! Right girls?"

[Mistique]

Lilith watched it all closely, but did not respond untill the morning star asked a direct question.

"Hm, Cain," she listened to her own voice saying the name. "I happened to like that name." She studied the morning star closely and took her time doing so. "Honestly, I don't like Coldplay all that much, but I guess that is just me."

Somehow the new arrival had drawn Cali's attention. As quick as she could she slithered away from Azrael and moved herself so she was firmly inbetween Lilith and the morning star. Suspiciously she studied his every move.

[Renos Babe]

"I....never listend to much music" micheal said quietly being very careful with her words not wanting to offend anyone. Observing Morning Start carefully, having already worked out that he knew Azreal.

[Nefieslab]

The Morning Star growled playfully and pointed accusingly at an innocent looking Azrael,

"You've gotten to them I swear..." he muttered darkly. Azrael chuckled a little before something in the air changed. It became still and cool, but not uncomfortably so. A solid oak door appeared in one of the otherwise completely blank walls. Slowly, it opened inward and a small man walked inside the room, the door disappearing again as it closed. The hairs on the back of Azrael's neck picked up and he felt the sudden need to grab hold of his sword for protection, but he didn't dare in case it was seen as an aggressive act.

The new arrival was a joyly looking black man with a shining, bald, head which he held high with apparent good cheer. He was a portly man, with a rounded appearence and a second chin beneath the first one. His attire was also somewhat strange, as the man appeared to dressed in a dark green bath robe and a pair of fluffy slippers. He was smiling broadly, his black eyes sparkling with happiness, as he waddled over to the seat beside Lucifer,

"Sorry I'm late everybody!" he announced with a deep but somewhat fatherly voice, "I just had to put the boys to bed you know! Simon would stay awake all night if he thought that he could get away with it!"

His laughter was large and somewhat calming but Azrael's hand slowly began to move towards the pommel of his sword against his own wishes. The new arrival caught the movement and chuckled,

"Ah! This is our first meeting isn't it my boy? I am Beelzebub, son!" he chuckled again at the small amount of surprise that Azrael showed, "Yes, yes, yes, everyone thinks of me as some fly-covered being of pure evil. But the reality is far from that. Is it not Cain?"

The Morning Star seemed too have been reacting much in the same vein as Azrael, despite obviously having met the demon before,

"Yes it is true that you are not what you appear. You run a orphanage on earth and you regularly make visits to the realm of the living to check on the young children who live protected within the cursed walls of your orphanage." his eyes hardened, "But you are the Demon Lord of deceit and decay. You even managed to worm you way into the council while Satan was... otherwise occupied."

Beelzebub laughed the same joyly laugh as before,

"Quite right my boy, quite right. Trust no one eh James?" he asked, turning his attention to Azrael. The angell bristled, his wings moving a little,

"Quite right my lord." he answered curtly, noticing Cali's reaction to the Morning Star as something that could turn attention away from himself, "You might want to keep Cali away from Cain, Lilith. He has quite the temper when it comes to that particular animal..."

Cain growled a little as he looked at the snake on the table,

"How should I feel? It's because of a snake that I'm not living it up in Eden right now." he ground out, ignoring the way that people were now freely using his old name. He glared at Micheal, "But then again you're kind was never very understanding. I doubt I would have lasted a week before one of His fangirls came down to smite me as a way to gain his favor."

Cain leant forwards on the table, to glare at Micheal,

"How about it you feathered bitch? Want to take me back home to your master like a good little pet?" he taunted, his fists tightly bunched together. Azrael stood, his wings opening behind him,

"That's enough Cain!" he roared, his tone sharp enough to cause Cain to stand up as well, his own wings wide,

"Or what Azrael? Why the hell is she even here?!" his fingernails elongated a few inches and hardened into claws. Azrael tightly gripped his sword but didn't draw,

"Or I'll tear you wings off and tear your throat out with my teeth." he threatened, his teeth gritted. Lucifer frowned a little,

"Silence." he snapped. Suddenly both Azrael and Cain found themselves unable to speak. He gestured at the seats, "Sit."

Once again, the command was immediately forced upon both men. Lucifer nodded to Beelzebub who smiled once again,

"Now I say! This is exciting!" he turned to Lilith and Micheal, "But now my dears, why are you here? What has occured on your journey so far? And don't you let Lilith tell it all Micheal! She's a little chatterbox this one."

[Mistique]

Lilith found everything that had happened quite amuzing and instantly took a liking to the new arival. When Azrael spoke about Cali she realised he was right and stroke Cali softly. That made the snake crawl around Lilith's body untill her head rested in Lilith's neck.

"Not, because of a snake, Cain," Lilith said and smiled sweetly. "because of this one."

After that Lilith turned to Beelzebub again and smiled. "It's an honor to meet you, but I will leave the story telling up to Michael."

[Renos Babe]

Micheal felt her anger rising as Cain began taunting her, and she knew that if Azreal hadn't reacted when he did, she would have flown off teh railings as well. Her eyes dropped to the table immediatly as she began to try and control herself again, her eyes only came up again when she was adressed by Beelzebub she was immediatly paying attention to this man, something about him filled her with a similar fear to that as being in the same room as lucifer.
god give me strength She thought to herself before attempting to string together a sentance her wings flutting in discomfort.
"As I'm sure your all awear" she said quietly nervousness laced in her normally calm voice "Someone has being murdering high ranked angels and demons, and I was asked to aid in discover who this being, or beings may be" She said quietly wishing she could dissapear right about now.

[Nefieslab]

because of this one

Cain's eyes bulged, he would have shouted as well but he was still bound to silence by Lucifer. Dark red Hellfire spread across his lower arms as he tried to over power the command to sit in silence, his eyes locked directly on Cali.

Someone has being murdering high ranked angels and demons, and I was asked to aid in discover who this being, or beings may be

Beelzebub chuckled warmly,

"Ah yes, ghastly business that! Why just the other morning I found one of my dear friends lying face down in a pool of his own blood... although Baal always did say that was the way he wanted to die!" he announced in a cheery voice. Azrael's eyes widdened and he felt Lucifer undo the silence command on him. Lucifer lent forwards, resting his chin on his steepled hands,

"He was found with a hole through his torso. A whole caused by Holyfire." he gave both Azrael and Micheal a neutral look, "Something made only by angels."

Azrael thought furiously for a few minutes,

"Someone must have gotten to him after they realised that he'd spoken to Lilith..." he muttered, noticing that Cain was still under the silence command. Beelzebub nodded with a bright smile,

"Quite so my boy! It appears that you were right on the mark about questioning him." the happy demon suddenly turned serious, seemingly causing the air around him to begin to start smelling faintly of rotting meat, "It also means that a member of your group is the prime suspect."

Azrael caught on quickly,

"It can't have been Micheal. She was with us the whole time." he announced firmly, trying not to gag against the smell of decay. Beelzebub was still frowning and the air grew more saturated with the smell,

"Then I suggest you find out which angel did it Azrael. Otherwise..." he settled his gaze on Michael, "the demon Lords will demand her head on a platter, her wings over a flame and her-"

"Beelzebub!" Lucifer snapped, immediately stopping the other demon with the sharp tone. Beelzebub's smile returned and the smell began to disappear,

"Or maybe they'll just give you over to Lilith to hear the sounds you'd make. Would you like that Micheal? I'm sure Lilith would." he said with a glint in his eye. Azrael stiffened and looked to Lucifer,

"My lord, I request permission to leave this meeting with my two companions and question the Archangel Gabriel about the exact locations of all of the archangels at the time of Lord Baal's death." he announced, suddenly very angry at Beelzebub's attitude toward Micheal, even though he'd expected it. Lucifer nodded and waved his hand, allowing all three of them to stand,

"Very well." he gave a quick glance to Cain before nodding, "Send our regards to Gabriel."

Azrael nodded and took a small key out of his pocket. Turning it, seemingly in empty space, a door appeared around the key and opened to reveal a very dull, very grey, waiting room type area, almost like a doctor's waiting room in appearance. He bowed his head to all three demon lords present before quickly shooing both Lilith and Micheal through the door. With sudden nervousness, Azrael quickly shut the door behind him and locked it. Sighing with relief, he slumped down onto one of the uncomfortable chairs,

"Now that was an ordeal..."

[Mistique]

Lilith studied Cain’s reaction to Cali and smiled to see that he couldn’t move. His anger made very little impression on her as she knew Cali could not be killed. She wanted to say something about that to him, but decided not to.

Carefully Lilith listened to the conversation between Azrael and Beelzebub. She found the idea that someone had killed Baal just because he had spoken to her intriguing. He hadn’t actually said anything interesting, but apparently the killer had disagreed on that. Lilith’s mind wondered off thinking about it and it was hearing her name that brought her attention back. A big smile appeared on her face when Beelzebub suggested that Michael should be given over to her confirming that she would indeed like that. Lilith chose not to respond though.

Before Lilith realized the meeting was over and along with Michael she was hushed out of the room. She smiled at Azrael “I found that rather amusing actually.”

[Renos Babe]

Micheal walked over to one of the chairs barely glancing around the room as she slumped down in it, resting her elbows on her knees and her head against her hands in sort of a payer like position, her eyes shut as she tried to control her breathing and return colour to her face, vowing to herself that she would never go back down their as long as it was in her power. "Never....again" She said quietly.

[Nefieslab]

Azrael nodded,

"I would be with Micheal on this one... if I didn't have to have regular meetings with them." he shuddered a little, "And Cain was being as controlled as he could be as well. Normally visitors leave without a limb..."

He sighed a little, rubbing his tired eyes,

"Now we have to think about Baal's death... was the information he gave us really that good?" he growled a little, "And why the hell is an angel trying to stir this shit up?!"

[Mistique]

"As far as I can tell the information he gave was utterly useless," Lilith sighed a little and was quiet for a bit to give it some more thought. "Maybe whoever killed him knew he spoke to me, but not the details of our conversation. Maybe he asumed Baal had said more.

Lilith decided not to respond to the question about angels, because honestly what did she know about what did or didn't motivate angels.

[Renos Babe]

Micheal sighed "I don't know, unless someone thoguht that baal was the one at fault and decided to take matters into thier own hands" She mutteres without moving from her position, still trying to comprehend what had been said.

[Nefieslab]

Azrael rolled his eyes,

"So an angel doesn't like Baal because he's a demon and likes to slaughter his enemies... what a surprise." he shook his head, "The angel would have to have an invested interest in this investigation going south. That would limit our search to an angel who wants to have a very costly war with the demons. That kind of leaves us with the one's who believe they're superior to everything else."

He gave Micheal a slightly pointed look,

"I really hope you don't know any of them personally. We might have to... pressure them into telling us what they know."

[Mistique]

"An angel gone bad, now that is interesting," Feeling quite pleased with this new development. "If Michael doesn't feel up to it I can help with the ehm pressure."

Lilith smiled innocently as she stroke Cali gently.
