Hoyden:
By the way, my tenshi fic is now a lot longer, mostly due to
the cut-and-paste function and old scraps of scenes that I never did anything
with.
Harukami:
Hey, COOL.
Hoyden:
don't you hate having those nice scenes that you write then
forget about?
Hoyden:
Cherior is such a little bastard. I love it.
Harukami:
I don't HATE it... Oh, ^^ Yeah. I hate him too. Isn't it lovely?
Hoyden:
and the telepathy thing was NICE.
Hoyden:
you do such a lovely job writing Raphael
Harukami:
Oh, thank you. ^^ Porn is good. In a porny way.
Hoyden:
Which porn are you talking about?
Harukami:
Um, telepathic softcore?
Hoyden:
*laughs* That was GREAT. I could just see the look on
Mikael's face.
Harukami:
^^ Of course, now I've made him even more of a freak...
Hoyden:
so where are you going next with this? do you know?
Hoyden:
that's okay, Mikael was doomed to be fucking weird.
Harukami:
^^ Yeah... and no, I have no idea whatsoever.
Hoyden:
It
Harukami:
...
Hoyden:
oops
Hoyden:
anyway, it'd be no fun to play truth or dare with Uriel - he
brags. actually, let me send you my expanded fic. It has more Uriel fodder.
Harukami:
^^ YAY! And I know. Why do you think he suggested it?
Hoyden:
though some of the scenes might contain extraneous details
due to me not having gone through it too thoroughly yet.
Harukami:
Noprob.
Hoyden:
Good point.
Harukami:
Oooh, gate security...
Hoyden:
yeah. I wonder what happened to that key...
Harukami:
Heh... whoops.
Harukami:
Uriel is a skankywhore! That's my word for the day, by the way. I've been going
around like... "Soushi is a skankywhore!" and stuff like that.
Hoyden:
Skankywhore /does/ describe Uriel perfectly. Unashamed
skankywhore, even.
Harukami:
*nods* Yes.
Harukami:
*giggles* I love what you've got so far. The lemon is quite tasty, Uriel's a
skankywhore, you've got a plot building, and the argument at the end so far is
just so cute...
Hoyden:
Thank you! The faculty storage room comment in the series is
just too good to pass up, you know? I'm glad it's not totally bad. I think it
needs fleshing out, pun intended.
Harukami:
^^ It's a first draft, but it's a GOOD first draft.
Hoyden:
Yours is so yummy. Though as I mentioned in my email, I
really hope Raphael gets nookie at some point.
Hoyden:
The poor man keeps getting interrupted...I feel for him.
Hoyden:
though truth or dare with Az, Suriel, and our boys should be
fun.
Harukami:
I think Mikael's gonna end up taking the penalty a number of times...
Hoyden:
*laughs* I bet.
Hoyden:
what's floating around your brain?
Harukami:
Pardon?
Harukami:
Damn it, has netscape stalled on me... >.<
Hoyden:
Damn. To quote a friend, "argh, matey, my netscape is
spurting blood!"
Harukami:
... I /like/ that.
Harukami:
I'm just gonna get a ginger ale then be back to use you like a rubber ball for
my ideas.
Hoyden:
*grins* you know I love it when you use me shamelessly.
Harukami:
*grins back, a wide, sly grin*
Hoyden:
*attemps to look seductive, fails, and laughs hard*
Harukami:
*patpats* Hmm, okay, so I have no plot for my story.
Hoyden:
oh, that's right, the little fridge is right there. I was
wondering how you got back so quick.
Harukami:
*grins* I can teleport. Really.
Hoyden:
anyway, why do you think you even need a plot? you've got
superb Raphael character development, and a truth or dare game in the works.
Harukami:
*stares at her, uncomprehending* It's a STORY. It needs, yanno, a plot.
Hoyden:
and maybe angel nookie.
Harukami:
... well, yes, but it needs a plot... I just don't have many ideas.
Hoyden:
There IS a plot! Raphael wants to get Mikael alone, and
gossip and wird things ensue.
Hoyden:
weird, even.
Hoyden:
alright, let's work with one of your ideas - I assume Mikael
will probably not have the courage to take a dare...or maybe he could and
surprise the living hell out of everyone
Harukami:
How is that a plot? Definition of plot by literary standards... the hero
encounters a problem. The hero has difficulty dealing with the problem. Other
problems push towards a confrontation. Confrontation = climax. The hero deals
with his problem and is changed by the results. Followed by the denoument -- the
bits where everything works out. Or doesn't. Hmm, okay,s o the dare could be a
long thing instead of a short 'right now' dare?
Hoyden:
Alright, no plot. And I like it that way.
Harukami:
THe 'how is that aplot' refers to the statement before that... um. I like the
dare idea. I just need to work with it more... what kind of dare, d'you think?
Hoyden:
I think after being horribly embarassed on a few truth turns,
Mikael might take a dare. *laughs* extra points for everyone for doing it in
Gabriel's office
Harukami:
Eh? Doing...?
Harukami:
I'm confused today...
Hoyden:
sorry, more specific. angel porn in the administrator's
office.
Harukami:
00 Um... that kind of a dare?
Hoyden:
it's sort of like people who have sex in airplanes.
Harukami:
.............
Hoyden:
no. my mind is jsut warped.
Hoyden:
anyway, a good dare...
Hoyden:
setting the all of the metatron's speed dial buttons straight
to the morning star's office?
Harukami:
.... sorry, I was imagining some of those airplane flights and the people I see
on 'em... um... yikes. That's a SCARY dare.
Hoyden:
which one?
Hoyden:
I agree the airplane thing is scary.
Hoyden:
It's not that I approve, you understand, i just thought I
would mention it.
Harukami:
the speed dial dare was what I thought was scary... yeah. Um. Woo. But maybe a
dare that could give me a plot? Get Mikael into a problem he might not be able
to get out of on his own?
Harukami:
I think the speed dial thing could be an Uriel dare.
Hoyden:
Okay. a problem as a direct result of having done the dare,
or the dare itself?
Hoyden:
if it's the dare itself, I think he would just refuse to play
anymore
Harukami:
Result of the dare? Or taking the dare anyway because it's one that would prove
something to himself?
Hoyden:
...to prove something to Raphael, maybe?
Harukami:
I don't think he NEEDS to prove anything to Raphael. Hmm. Wait, why Mikael? Why
can't RAPHAEL take a dare that gets him in trouble?
Hoyden:
a-ha. since it is from our darling Raphael's pov.
Harukami:
Yes.
Hoyden:
now what kind of trouble are we talking? Most Holy's gonna
punch you out, or horrible embarassment
Hoyden:
or something other?
Harukami:
'Most Holy had better not find OUT'. Hmm. I'm a demon person, so maybe something
involving the Morning Star's domain?
Hoyden:
a little bit of thievery?
Harukami:
Possibly... hey, OH! Do you think if there's an angel school there's a demon
school? Not little demons like Noelle's family, but like Unfaithful etc.?
Hoyden:
Hmm. Maybe more like a court?
Harukami:
Hey, okaaay... what if Raphael's dare had something to do with that?
Hoyden:
angel candidates go to learn to be angels. it would make
sense to me that demons would go to court and all the debauchery therein to
become better demons.
Hoyden:
Okay...so Raphael, patently against all regulations, goes to
the demon court. To do what?
Harukami:
Yeah, that makes sense. Hmm... you mentioned thievery...
Hoyden:
Raphael always struck me as having maybe a small streak of
larcony in his blood.
Harukami:
*snicker*
Raphael: *wanders through a room and borrows the good silver...*
Hoyden:
not like that, persay.
Hoyden:
but a willingness to let others do the hard work
Harukami:
?
Hoyden:
and then take the credit
Hoyden:
anyway.
Hoyden:
something to steal...to prove he was there...
Harukami:
Yeah! Because his dare would be 'visit the Demon Court'. But it would have to be
something important to the Court if it'd prove he was there... and they'd want
it BACK...
Hoyden:
except I don't think Raphael can get there. not on his own.
Harukami:
Because he doesn't have a key for it?
Hoyden:
exactly. but he is boinking this really wonderfully fucked-up
young angel...
Harukami:
I don't think he'd take a dare that would send Mikael to Hell.
Hoyden:
no. you're right.
Hoyden:
maybe to sneak into the hall of the Most Holy without
invitation?
Hoyden:
no, he doesn't want to get singed.
Harukami:
No, I think I can still get the Court thing. But it might require FINDING a key.
Hoyden:
It might require some persuasion. I wonder what Omael's like.
Hoyden:
maybe Omael owes him a favor
Harukami:
Y'know, since he's entered into your fic's plot, you really should decide what
Omael's like.
Hoyden:
I know, I know, I'll get around to it.
Harukami:
I wrote an Omael fic... oh yeah, you've read it. :p Um, yeah. He could go to
Omael. But how could he get Omael to lend it to him?
Hoyden:
blackmail.
Hoyden:
Omael plays both sides of the fence...it would be unfortunate
if Most Holy heard about some of the things he does with Morning Star
Harukami:
'plays'... yes. Um. How would RAPHAEL know?
Hoyden:
Because Raphael is a gossip.
Harukami:
There still has to be a source for gossip...
Hoyden:
I feel the urge to do for a quote "I found a scandalous
tape!"
Harukami:
I like the idea... I'm just trying to make it LOGICAL... *heh* Shadowplay
angels?
Hoyden:
hold on a sec
Harukami:
'kay'
Hoyden:
I think Omael retains his ...erm...position...by appearing to
remain impartial. Even the threat that there evidence exists to prove that he is
partial one way or the other would be enough to let Raphael borrow the key for a
few minutes.
Harukami:
So Raphael makes an educated guess, basically. And Omael freaks.
Hoyden:
YES. Because Raphael is so smooth, you know?
Hoyden:
And Omael is, I think, paranoid.
Hoyden:
Shit, I gotta write this stuff down. I need it for this
weekend.
Harukami:
*giggles*
Omael: *looks behind him* Who said that?!
Hoyden:
Yes, exactly. so we've got a dare to visit the court, which
involves coercing Omael. Now what do we get from the court? Maybe a demon
feather?
Harukami:
...no, something important. A sign he was at the court, not just seeing someone
Unfaithful.
Hoyden:
okay....
Harukami:
'cause I think that Az'd say he'd just done that.
Hoyden:
The main hallway. Rows of grotesque masks, like gargoyles.
Tons of them.
Harukami:
Heh... nice. And one goes missing. And someone checks the security cameras.
Hoyden:
Not exactly sentient masks, but sort of freaky.
Hoyden:
so the cameras are checked. Does he get caught?
Harukami:
Hmm, yeah. How freaky, d'you think?
Hoyden:
Behelit sort of freaky.
Hoyden:
The Egg of the King from Berserk.
Harukami:
Hmm, yeah. Okay, so Raphael is seen on camera. Problem? Demons can't go to the
School. But if they think an angel's stolen something from them, they can get in
contact with the Metatron and demand recompensation...
Hoyden:
which would be?
Harukami:
Um, a suggestion would be nice. Ignoring the fact that Raphael would be in all
sorts of shit as it is... hmm...
Hoyden:
*grins* Omael for a whole month. I'm sure our fence-sitter
would be SO disppleased
Hoyden:
I think he kind of prefers the Morning Star, but can't say
so.
Hoyden:
I think if the cameras just caught a glimpse of a halo and
white wings, that would be enough. no need to implicate Raphael directly.
Harukami:
Hmm, okay. Or if whoever it was decided NOT to... I wonder if anyone knew
Raphael before they turned Unfaithful?
Hoyden:
That depends on how long Raphael has been in Heaven.
Remember, he only has a little more than ten years seniority on Mikael, if
Natsumi's age is anything to go by.
Hoyden:
I wonder how someone so young became the Professor.
Harukami:
So do I. I'm beginning to think, rewatching the series, that he wasn't really
Natsumi's brother. Or if he was, it was as payment for something? A new course
requirement... sixteen years on Earth? Or something...
Hoyden:
how do you figure? He recognizes her, calls her Natsumi -
it's clearly his voice at the clock tower in her running dream...
Harukami:
He also hangs around and watches people while invisible. I don't know. He just
seems so... not human, so often.
Hoyden:
if he were just an angel helping her out at the chibi
incident, why would he sound so surprised to see her later?
Hoyden:
You're right, he does seem quite older and experienced in
comparison.
Harukami:
You're right. But as I said... maybe he was the professor BEFORE he was her
brother? And is time necessary linear in this situation?
Hoyden:
I think time is linear, because otherwise it gives me a
severe headache. but I like your idea...sixteen years on earth. maybe angels do
it periodically to keep in touch with reality on earth?
Hoyden:
keep their perspective, you know?
Hoyden:
In which case he may really be her brother, but much older
than the young boy who appears in her dreams
Hoyden:
That's a whole fic in and of itself
Harukami:
I like that explanation. Can we go with it?
Hoyden:
Yes.
Hoyden:
I need to save this conversation.
Hoyden:
don't let me forget, okay?
Harukami:
(Of course, the manga might explain it. But we're taking steps away from manga
continuity since /I/ at least only know the TV series...) And ditto.
Hoyden:
I'll have the first two volumes in about a month...we'll see.
Harukami:
Yeah. But I'd rather not work with something I don't know, if the storylines
differ.
Hoyden:
When I tried to order it, all they had were the first two
volumes.
Harukami:
;_; sad.
Hoyden:
This is in Japanese, mind you. I wonder if the manga was made
after?
Hoyden:
That happens sometimes.
Harukami:
Who knows? ^^;; Ah, well. Um, so... if we're going with that theory, WOULD
Raphael possibly have known one of the current Unfaithful? And angels HAVE
fallen since the Great Rebellion... it doesn't necessarily have to have been
that long ago.
Hoyden:
I think it's very possible. As the Professor, Raphael has
some serious history in the Tenshi Gakkuen and beyond.
Harukami:
Someone who was fond of him and would be willing to lie about exactly WHAT he
saw on the security tape?
Hoyden:
Yes. Excellent.
Hoyden:
A former lover?
Hoyden:
parted on good terms
Hoyden:
prior to the falling?
Harukami:
Sounds fair. Or because of the falling?
Hoyden:
no, I think prior to.
Harukami:
Okay. ^^ Who, then?
Harukami:
My urge says Belial, 'cause he's high enough up in the demon hierarchy in
mythology that he'd be able to access security tapes...
Hoyden:
we want this fallen one, gender as yet unspecified, to
remember Raphael fondly.
Hoyden:
so. who. hmmm...
Hoyden:
okay. you know, I was just thinking that there are no females
in my stories as of yet. Except Sophia. And she's really yours.
Hoyden:
anyway, Belial sounds good. I don't know my demon mythology
Harukami:
There are very few angels or demons specified as female. Two or three out of a
huge list. I'm not sure why. *shrugs* Belial... I can check up on him, but I
think he's a Prince of Hell. The only people higher ranking are Beelzebub (? I'm
not sure, he and Belial might be the same person...) and the Morning Star.
Hoyden:
Okay. Belial sounds good to me. I just have these random
gender equality moments. I think my next fic will involve one really kick-ass
female angel.
Harukami:
Sure. ^^ Heh, sounds good. I don't have trouble with gender inequality in
angels/demons. Mainly because they're primary forms aren't physical to start
with. *shrugs* AT least in MY universe. Tennimon you meet one male angel, one
male will-be angel, and two female will-be angels, so I guess THAT's gender
equality.
Hoyden:
*nods happily* yeah. plus I'm a sucker for strong female
characters.
Harukami:
*coughcaskacough*
Hoyden:
I LOVE CASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harukami:
*falls over with the force of her text manipulation*
Hoyden: Oh, b
