I'm similar. It depends on my mood. Mostly gothy.

Ricky moaned at the vibrations, "When were you going to tell me you could do that?!" The man slowly opened his eyes. He found himself alone, "What? Where am I? And no one's around?" He glanced at the knife on the counter. He hobbled his way over until he knocked the knife over. On his side, he grabbed it and cut the ropes off. Getting up, he dusted himself off. "Guess I might as well make something for myself. I'm starving." --- Reed slapped his hand away. Tears dripped down his cheeks as he glared back at him. Without saying anything, he ran into the men's restroom. Stopping dead in his tracks when he saw the cracked mirror. He figured it was a pretty good metaphor for how he felt. Travis had drawn a sketch of Reed with a heart doodle next to it. He ripped it from his sketchbook and held it out for Kodi to give to Reed as a gift. Travis smiled and pointed at the restroom. --- Adam walked over, "Hey are you ok? I'm really sorry about before." He sighed, "I can't help but wonder if I did the right thing or not. I just....don't want you to feel forced." --- Gabriel nodded, "Pretty much. Though I don't think you know much about modern business, do you? I think your son will have to handle that one." A bottle suddenly broke from his powers, "Oh my god! I forgot about the ceremony!" He blushed, "Sorry about the mess. I'll clean it up. Anyways, Death is having a ceremony for his kids! All of the Archangels are invited and they can take one guest with them or go solo. Now, it's up to you so I'm only asking, did you want to come with me? The theme is all black." --- Violet grabbed his arm, "Hey wait. I didn't mean...." She noticed her hand on his person. Blushing, she let go. "I make a lot of dumb jokes to deal with things. You kind of need a sense of humor when you live as long as I have." She smiled a little, "But I did appreciate you coming here and checking on me." --- Allie said, "He wants me to change who I am! I don't want that! I want to stay human. And I don't want someone else to watch me!" Leo spoke, "Allie I-" She shouted, "Leave me alone!" She ran out of the bedroom. Making her way down the hall where she was heading off to who knows where. Leo sighed, "I don't know Oscar. I want to do this but what if a guy like Donnie shows up again? The President has his trust in me. And I hate to see Allie like this." --- Abaddon raised a brow, "I do not believe my abilities involve becoming drunk." He took a second small sip. Charles chuckled, "You're telling me. Some mortals these days could use some manners." Dariel replied, "They're real alright and they're nice." Conrad smiled, "Don't worry Lily. I know you and my love will do a perfect job." Dariel said, "I didn't realize there were so many of us for the kids table." Raven stepped in, "I say we're old enough to get the adult rides." The two seem to be joking with each other. Shubael glared, "There you go again! You and your pity party!" He smirked, "You are right about one thing though. They will chose the right candidate. And I will represent Heaven with grace and dignity." Death appeared, "Pardon my interruption, I do believe Shubael that you are needed in Antarctica where you may help your penguin brethren." Shubael scoffed, "Well I never!" He strut away. Death nodded at Raziel, "Are you comfortable here? Would you like to discuss important topics with me? You sell yourself short. There are great things in you as there are great things in all of my guests." Life waved nonchalantly, "Oh that was centuries ago. Things have changed since. I might have to tone it down this time for my future wife." Jean jumped excitedly, "We should go say hi to him!" Before Hannes had a chance to say anything, Jean grabbed his hand. Dragging him over to Azrael. Nate and Tom suddenly appeared with their black suits a wrinkled mess as they did their best to quickly get dressed. Nate spoke, "We're here! Totally forgot about this emo party but we're here!"

Welcome!

"Alright," Rickster kissed him and teleported them to their bedroom. He knew this would mean the unconscious man in the kitchen would now be alone, but he was confident that his bindings would be too strong for him to break loose. Rickster wrapped his arms around Ricky and wondered if he could achieve a hover while they continued to get lost in their passion. He kissed his neck and started to beat his wings, trying to adjust the speed so that they'd only lift a little. As he was attempting this manoeuvre, he discovered he could make his wings vibrate. --- As soon as the pimp demon was gone, Kodi's eyes returned to normal, and his tail receded back into his spine. He hurried over to Reed and helped him to his feet. "Hey, are you alright? I'm sorry that you had to see me get like that." He then growled under his breath. "It's demons like that that give the rest of us a bad name..." --- Back at the secured location for New Eden to begin, Clementine had had enough time to sleep off the effects of the champagne. Now she was inspecting the ingredients that John had brought to her, along with the equipment she could use. "Will this be enough?" John asked her while watching her carefully. Clementine took a moment to answer before nodding and fastening her hair back with a ribbon that she'd borrowed from one of the other women. "It's a start," she said as she picked up a vial. "This will take some time and experimentation." "Call me if you need anything," he said before walking away. Clementine sighed and looked at everything on the table before her, feeling a little overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. A part of her still wondered if she should be helping them at all. She was still confused about how she should be feeling. --- "This..." Lilith smiled as she glanced down for a moment before looking back up at Gabriel. "This brings me comfort," she looked around them and the building once more. Fascinated by the idea that humans might look to spend time here. "So, this is to be my home now?" she asked, as if just now coming around to the idea. --- At her comment, Kris realised what he was doing and lowered his hand rather quickly. He averted his eyes, possibly embarrassed, but with the way he held himself, it would be difficult to tell. He glanced at her door when she mentioned Blake. He recalled how Blake had behaved earlier and his harsh words to him. "In the morning. It's late- Oh well, early now," he said as he looked at his watch and realised he'd been passed out for longer than he'd realised. It was now the early hours of the morning. "Give it a few hours, and I'll come with you." --- Helena sat in a nearby chair. Being blind, she couldn't see what was happening, but she could hear everything. Including each little movement they made, so she knew roughly whereabouts in the room everyone was. Helena had been granted permanent residence with Allie and her family some time ago, at Allie's insistence. The girls had grown a close bond during the time she'd been staying with them, so when it became apparent that her older brother wasn't coming back for her and the time for Helena to go into the foster system came up, Allie had put her foot down and refused to let it happen. Now, Helena sat quietly in the chair, gripping the chair's arm nervously as she knew how much this all meant to Allie. Oscar sighed, "This doesn't mean we're gone for good. It just means Leo's job is changing. He can still come and visit now and then, right Leo?" he said while looking at Leo, hoping to diffuse the situation. --- Atma chuckled at Abaddon's reaction to the wine. "Just don't drink it too quickly or you'll get drunk faster," she pointed out. "Besides, it's polite not to overdo it at classy functions like this," she said while gesturing around them. She found herself looking around again in awe. She really couldn't remember a single bit of her past life, so seeing it all like this was like she was experiencing it all for the very first time. "Pardon-?" Shezmu was taken aback, and he looked at Warren in surprise. Then, before Warren could say a word, he'd already pulled the information he needed from his memories. "Ah!" He said just as Warren had opened his mouth. Warren faltered and then closed his mouth again, a little annoyed that Shezmu had read his mind again. Shezmu then turned back to Charles and Amelia. "Apologies, I hadn't realised. Rest assured, my companion has no more affiliation with that criminal and has instead pledged himself to me." "I'm so relieved," Amelia mumbled sarcastically. Shezmu's smile thinned for a moment. "I understand the apprehension. Please, let us start over. Warren, please go and get us drinks and..." Shezmu leaned over to Warren to whisper something into his ear. For a split second, Warren's expression blanked, but then he nodded and smiled at Shezmu before awkwardly lowering his eyes from Amelia & Charles as he walked past them towards the bar. Shezmu turned his attention back to the couple just as Amelia spoke. "What do you mean he's pledged himself to you?" "Merely that he has agreed to devote himself to me," Shezmu answered simply. "I assure you, he has left his old life behind to begin anew. I hope that this will not sour a potential friendship?" "Hmm. We'll see." Amelia said as she glanced in Warren's direction for a second. She turned back to Shezmu. "You said you only woke up recently?" "Indeed, I went to slumber centuries ago." "How long-? Sorry, is that rude?" "Not at all." Shezmu smiled warmly. "I sought to sleep in the year 1570. The language hath changed much," he said while making fun of the way he used to speak before learning the modern language. "Vampires?" Lilly asked Dariel curiously. "I've only seen depictions of those on television. My friends said some of those movies were a 'must-watch'," she commented. She then looked at Conrad as he approached them. "Good to see you again," she welcomed him warmly. When he asked his question, she chuckled nervously. "I'm not used to it," she admitted. "I'm nervous that I'll mess up my oath." Raziel's jaw clenched as he heard Shubael's comments. "Encouraging as always, brother," he greeted him sarcastically, but his voice wavered as if he wasn't confident enough to be saying such things. "You needn't fear. I have no intention of seeking the position. There'd be no point... I won't win anyway. I've seen it." his voice became more and more quiet as he spoke. "Yes!" Zadkiel cheered and looked at Leandra before holding out a hand to shake hers. "I'm Zadkiel. My friends call me Zad." "You know my Life?" Leandra asked as she shook his hand. "I used to visit now and then before humanity became a thing. Things weren't as busy back then, but it doesn't mean it wasn't boring. This guy knows how to party!" Hannes looked around at the castle in absolute awe. He'd only ever heard of Death's Kingdom through his lessons when he was trying to become an Angel. Seeing it in person was really something else. He glanced around and recognised Azrael immediately. "He helped to guide me to Heaven when I died." He said to Jean. Azrael ticked off the other Archangels one by one as they turned up until only two were left to arrive. Nate and Gabriel. He sighed and tapped the end of his pen on the side of his clipboard. "Fashionably late, as usual, boys..."

Huh! Can't believe I only just noticed this lol Hi there! Um, not really a lot of places for me to go but where I live there's this park with some frames of an airship hanger as it's centrepiece. It's mostly quiet so when I have the energy and the opportunity, I'll walk there to get some fresh air & time to myself.

Ricky's eyes lit up, "Yes please!" --- The pimp glared and bared his teeth. "I'll find a way. I promise." He jumped back and shoved Reed aside. Disappearing from the precinct. Reed fell over but pressed his hands against the floor. His face held a look of defeat. He couldn't speak or move. Only think of how pathetic he was. --- Jean accepted his hand. Once the two would get be dressed, Jean would teleport both himself and Hannes to the ceremony. --- Gabriel returned the smile, "No problem but for reals. Just know, you've got mortal backup. Believe me, I've seen it." --- Violet suddenly laughed, "Aren't you the knight in shining armor?" She looked out the window. "Maybe you're right though. I just don't know if I can stay without....talking to Blake. He has every right to be upset. I should apologize." --- Abaddon picked up the glass and sniffed it. He took a cautious sip before finding himself mesmerized. "It is...adequate." Dariel nodded, "A Blood God is a powerful being worshiped by vampires. He's been around before any of us were here. He's a pretty cool teacher. I know a lot about combat and some history. To be honest, I'd prefer the combat more often. Homework is so boring." Raven said, "Sounds like he's a good mentor. He is right though. Education is just as important as combat." Death went back to his throne. Content with everything being fine. Charles flushed, "Uh yeah. I guess your friend here isn't going to try and kill us then?" Conrad frowned at Raziel's nervous demeanor but ran off to Raven and his friends. "Hey guys! How's it like being the center of attention?" Life smiled, "We still have a lot of planning yet to do. I was so focused on my niece and nephew's ceremony that I hardly had time to pick anything out for the wedding. You're invited though." Shubael had finished inspecting the ice sculpture. He caught his eyes on Raziel, "Raziel! Still a wreck I see? You think after all these centuries that you would yourself up to the title of Archangel." --- Allie was in tears as she shouted, "And you thought I was going to be ok with this?!" Leo had told her that he would be working for the NYPD. That she would get a new bodyguard. Leo replied, "But you don't need me!" She scoffed, "Are you kidding me?! You don't get it, do you?! I saw you die! We've gotten to know each other so long! I call you uncle! I don't want to be forced to turn into something I'm not! I want you to stay here with me!" Oscar would be there to interject.

Rickster grinned and rolled playfully with him until he was on top before sprouting his wings. "These wings?" He purred as he teased him by hovering his lips just over his. "Shall we put them to the test?" --- Kodi had opened his mouth to argue. Although he recognised that he shouldn't be involved because he was too close to the case, he also couldn't stand the idea of sitting around waiting for someone else to find Clementine. Before he could get a word out, however, the demon pimp appeared. Kodi was already stressed from Clementine's disappearance, so this interruption aggravated him further. Seeing the Demon manhandle Reed was enough to tip him from agitation to rage. During the seconds that the Demon was distracted by Reed, Kodi had stepped closer and in a flash he'd whipped out his dragon tail, bringing the razor sharp edge to the Demon's throat. "This is how this is going to go down." He started with a growl as his eyes bored into the other demon's. He was furious but unsettlingly calm at the same time. "You're going to release the agent. Then you're going to crawl back to whatever piss soaked hole you crawled out from, and if you know what's good for you, you won't dare to come back again. Refuse or even attempt to pull the trigger, and not only will I slice your throat, I'll come find you when you wake back up in Hell and kill you again and again in the most painful ways I can think of." His eyes flashed red. "Don't test me." --- Hannes nodded. "Yes, I think I have something that would suit the occasion." He said and took Jean's hand in his. "Let's go and get ready." --- Lilith watched Gabriel cautiously out of habit as he leaned over the bar to tell her something. What he told her left her stunned, and she lifted a hand to her chest as she gawped the word "Me?" She was in disbelief. Ever since she'd been cast out of Heaven, she had thought she was utterly alone and that her name would have been stricken from any histories other than Heaven's. "Adam's children know of me? They worship me?" She laughed shortly out of shock. Then she began laughing at the irony of it all. That some of the children of the man who had scorned her and begged God to replace her had chosen to take her side. She wondered how furious it would make Adam to learn this, and this thought alone had made her laugh harder. When her laughing slowed and she placed her empty glass back onto the table, she sighed happily with a thoughtful look. "I haven't laughed like that since..." She trailed off and glanced away for a moment. She then looked back at Gabriel and smiled. "Thank you." --- "Ran off?" Kris repeated. "What- just like that?" He turned to look at her as she explained that there was a new, better king now. His eyes softened at seeing her tears and the way she assumed this new king wouldn't even know who she was. "Maybe that's for the best." He told her. Without thinking, he'd lifted his hand to brush away some of her tears with his thumb. "Because now you can have a fresh start." --- Atma ordered another glass of the same wine she was drinking. When it was placed onto the bar, she lifted it and passed it to Abaddon. "The taste might take a little getting used to. I always prefer white wine, but there's also red, which has its own taste. Or rose, which is a kind of mix of the two." Amelia felt right at home with Charles's arm around her. She beamed at him as he spoke. "I didn't think a lot of things would happen, but they did, and I wouldn't change a single part of it." She replied. Of course, she was also referring to everything that had led up to this point. If not for their success in brokering peace with Heaven, they would never have had an opportunity like this. As far as Amelia was concerned, brokering peace on her own would have been almost impossible. So, she was thankful to have Charles in her life." Content that Raven was alright now, David stepped away to get himself a drink too. He politely bowed to Death in greeting on his way past. As he got closer, he noticed the way Carol was staring at Samael and the irritated look on the Angel's face as he tried to ignore the smitten Demon. Picking up his pace, he reached Carol and placed a hand on her arm to get her attention and then whispered hurriedly into her ear. For a moment, Carol seemed confused as she looked from David to Samael, then she looked a little crushed. A moment later, she picked herself up and nodded thankfully to David before walking away from the bar to mingle with the other guests. "That was Carol, wasn't it?" Samael said as he approached David. David found the interaction jarring as the Angel's appearance and voice matched his memory of Lucifer perfectly. "Um, yeah. I told her who you are and that you'd likely appreciate not being compared to... well, you know." "My brother." Samael nodded seriously and then placed a hand on David's shoulder. "Thank you," he said with a small smile before walking away. Although David knew he wasn't Lucifer, if he'd needed any kind of reassurance on the matter, then that had been it, because there was no way in Hell that Lucifer would ever utter the words 'thank you'. At least not without some difficulty. Lilly was almost relieved when their father told them they needed to remain in the hall for the ceremony. The idea of looking at rocks wasn't very appealing to her. She looked at Dariel curiously. "You're the student of the pale man from the meeting. Unity called them a Blood God. I've never heard of a Blood God before. What does he teach you?" Shezmu approached Charles and Amelia, hoping to do some networking of his own. "Royalties of Hell, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance in a more relaxed setting," he said with a short bow. "I am Shezmu. I only recently awakened from centuries of slumber, but I have heard that you are the ones responsible for achieving peace." Warren, who was still on his arm, looked increasingly awkward as they'd stepped towards the couple but hadn't had a chance to warn Shezmu that he'd been a fugitive in league with Donnie until very recently and that he wasn't sure if he was still considered a fugitive. He lowered his eyes shamefully as his face turned a little red and his heart hammered in his chest. They wouldn't cause a scene here, would they? Raziel appeared and dropped off Conrad while wordlessly gesturing for him to go to Raven. His wings, out like the others, were a very light shade of grey. As always, he looked incredibly nervous and fidgeted with his hands while avoiding eye contact with anyone who looked his way. He moved towards the steps to Death's throne and bowed to him in greeting before approaching Azrael so that his name could be ticked off. "No plus one?" Azrael asked him, and Raziel shook his head without lifting his eyes from the ground. "I know you can see things, but that shouldn't stop you from living, brother," Azrael said gently. "Mhm." Raziel hummed in response and looked around as though he didn't want to continue the conversation. Azrael sighed, knowing there was no talking to him when he got like this. "Alright, but try to enjoy yourself?" "Mhm..." Raziel hummed again as he turned and walked towards a less crowded corner to stand in. Zadkiel was next to arrive. His feathers were a pale shade of cyan. Straightening his tie, he also approached Death to bow in greeting before heading to Azrael to be signed off. He then wandered over to Life and Leandra. "So, when is the wedding?" He asked and nodded to the ring on Leandra's finger before smiling at Life. "And congratulations, by the way. Please tell me I'm invited. Your parties are always wild!"

Hi im zoey hope to find friends

Ricky moved his hand down to his waist, "I want to see what those wings can really do." --- Reed wrote everything down. He pulled out a laptop. "I'll email my supervisor about everything. If this is a supernatural matter then the CIA can handle it. We hope to prevent a situation with your precinct like before. Remember stick to what you guys can do." Suddenly, a Demon appeared in a cliche pimp outfit with a machine gun in his hands. "Alright you fucks! Keep your guns down! I can do more than pull the trigger! Now, your chief took my best dancer so I'd like an exchange." He nodded at Reed, "You! Get over here!" Reed replied, "No." The Demon glared, "A wise guy huh? Well, how about if I take down everyone in this precinct? After all, do you really want to find out what I can do with all your pigs here?" Reed shook as he gripped the desk. He slowly stood up and made his way over to the Demon. Once in close proximity, the Demon grabbed him. Wrapping an extra arm around his waist, "Now aren't you a sweet one? Ripe for the taking." --- Jean informed, "It's to honor Death's children and make them official royalties. I'll have to change into a black dress. I'm sure you have a suit that works on you." --- Gabriel chuckled, "You know you ain't so bad. People said you would rip the guts out of anyone you saw but I think they were just crushing on you." He leaned forward, "Can I let you in on a little secret? The humans. Some of them worship. I don't know if that helps but I thought you might feel supported at least." --- Violet put her shirt back on, "Nah he left a long time ago. Fell in love with some woman and ran off. Just abandoned us and his duties. After that, things went crazy. But now, there's apparently a new King. He's doing a lot better than Lucifer ever did. So I don't think this new King has an interest in finding me." She turned around to him with tears in her eye. "Probably doesn't even know I exist." --- Abaddon replied, "I'd like to try this wine. I have never heard of it before." Charles wrapped an arm around Amelia, "Can you believe this? Did you ever think we would be here today?" Raven wiped his tears away. He nodded, "Thank you David." He turned to Lily, "Let's go greet!" Dariel swallowed his nerves as he made his way to the siblings. He did a quick bow before saying, "My name is Dariel Grant. It's an honor to meet you two." Raven smiled, "Dariel! Would you like to see my new rock collection?" Dariel nervously smiled, "Sure!" Death was sitting in his throne. Receiving bows and greetings from everyone. He soon reached his children. "You may show your collection later. Right now, the two of you are to be present for the entirety of this ceremony." Life laughed, "You've got that right!"

Rickster was surprised by the move but smiled as they hit the floor, and he kissed Ricky back passionately. Losing himself to his beloved. --- "Y-yeah, she's about this tall..." he lifted his arm to roughly his neck and then thought of how tall he was in comparison. "So, about five foot five-ish? Maybe five-seven? Skinny. Shoulder length, straight black hair. Dark brown eyes. She's super pale too... I guess kinda like a real-life snow white? Only without the cheery disposition." Kodi then hesitated as he wasn't sure if Reed would know much about the supernatural world. But then he recalled the CIA having worked a few supernatural cases in the area before. "She's human. Her name is Clementine. It's a mononym, so no last name. I had a look around the area at the bus stop and caught the scent of an Angel. No one I know in particular, though. And a strange other scent that I've never smelled before..." he bit his lip worriedly. "As for suspects and possible motive... Clementine used to be a Demon... a renowned one and vicious too... she made a lot of enemies during the war, so catching the scent of an Angel isn't a total surprise... I just hope she's ok. She's not like how she used to be. She's trying to change." --- After several minutes, Niko would walk alone back to the medical wing. His eyes were on the ground, and tears were in his eyes as he thought through everything Hannes had told him. He couldn't recall any of it, and he had a horrid feeling he'd intentionally left out some details, but he also had an equally horrid feeling that perhaps that was for the best. Among all the talking, Hannes had tapped his forehead with his fingers, and after a moment of excruciating pain, Niko suddenly found that he could understand the English language. He was still reeling and trying to take it all in, but absent-mindedly, he'd made his way back to the medical wing until he was standing outside Patience's room. Listening to her struggles from the other side of the door. Waiting. Hannes turned to Jean as he joined him in the hallway. His own eyes were also a little watery from their conversation, but he stayed strong. He was almost thankful when Jean invited him to attend Death's ceremony with him. If there was one thing he really needed right now, it was a distraction. "Of course, but what ceremony?" --- Lilith did not comment. Her opinion on Angel-kind had already been made clear. She lifted her eyes from her glass to study Gabriel for a moment. At least, for an Angel, this one seemed to be sincere. She shuffled awkwardly on her feet as she looked back at her drink. Then her expression became resolute. "If there is one thing I have learned as an immortal, it is that eternity is a long time to not make mistakes." Her eyes lifted back to Gabriel's. "We will fuck up. But how else would we learn? How else would we grow?" She sighed and downed her drink. Her face scrunched up from the way the liquid burned, and she had to force herself to swallow it. Coughing a little, she opened her watery eyes to look at Gabriel. "Not how I imagined it to taste..." she said in a strained voice, but despite her grimacing, there was some humour in her eyes. --- If Kris hadn't already been sitting down, Violet's words would have knocked him on his ass. Having not encountered anything from Hell before meeting Violet, he found himself stunned to learn that there was really a Lucifer. Slowly, he rose to his feet and moved a hand to trace his fingers over her scars. Before he could touch her, he realised what he was doing and pulled his hand back. He then turned away from her to give her enough privacy to dress herself again. "This uh, Lucifer..." he began, even sounding clueless to himself. "I-Is he-? I mean... Will he-?" he stumbled before sighing and forcing himself to say what he intended to ask. "Is he going to be a problem? Will he come looking for you? I should know something like that. I have the boys' safety to consider." --- Atma ordered a glass of white wine, wanting to keep classy in such a formal setting. She looked up at Abaddon. "Do you drink?" She asked him curiously. "I don't often, myself. But I like wine now and then." Amelia ordered herself a whiskey and Coke, then turned to Carol. "So, are you and Dad finally a thing now, or-?" Carol waved dismissively as she sipped some of her cocktail through a straw. "Oh, sweety. That'll never happen. He's far too in love with that stick up his ass! No, I much prefer just having fun with no strings attached. Much less messy. That Napoleon, for instance-" "Ok, I don't need the details-" "Let's just say what he lacks in stature-" "Mum, stop, I don't wana-" "He makes up for it in other areas." "And that's this conversation officially over. Thank you, mother, for the fresh nightmares I will have after today." Amelia said sarcastically. "You're welcome, sweety." Carol chuckled as she took another sip of her drink. Amelia paused by Atma and Abaddon. "I'll catch up with you guys later. Have fun," she smiled before making her way over to Charles when he would inevitably arrive. It would be at that moment that Carol would spot Samael as he appeared and wouldn't be able to stop herself from staring at him like a deer in headlamps. Much like other men who turned up, he was wearing a simple black suit with a white button-up shirt. His tie was a little loose and his hair wasn't combed, but he didn't seem the least bit bothered as he swaggered confidently towards the bar to order himself a drink. He either didn't notice Carol staring or chose to ignore her. Just like the other Angels, his own wings were out. Their feathers were a brilliant white, in stark contrast with the dark surroundings. Spotting her adoptive brother, Lilly made her way over to him and David. As she got closer, she noticed the tears in Raven's eyes. "Is everything alright?" "Everything is fine," David answered softly, then looked at Raven. "Because you're a good lad and she can see that in you, that's why." He told him gently. "Look around you, Raven. This celebration isn't just to cast votes and declare you a Prince. It's a fresh start. For both of you." He smiled between Lilly and Raven as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "So, leave your regrets in the past where they belong and enjoy the occasion." "Pompous chicken." Azrael huffed under his breath, repeating what Charles had called him in the meeting. He ticked off a few names and added more plus ones as they arrived. Uriel had arrived as well. The feathers of his wings looked a little ruffled and tattered, but it seemed at least he had tried to make them more presentable. Shezmu smiled at the wonder in his student's eyes. It had been a very long time since he had felt the awe of experiencing these things for the first time. He tilted his head towards Raven and Lilly whilst looking at Dariel. "Now might be an opportune time for you to... I believe the mortals of this era call it 'network'." The Hopper or La Tramoggia arrived with Life in an ashen coloured tea-length dress with black trims and a black bow around her waist. No longer going by her pseudonyms, she had decided to start her life anew as Leandra, Life's fiancé. "My Life, my muse. You're looking at this all wrong, my love." She purred to him after hearing his complaint. "You are the Life of the party, no?"

The Hoppers dress

Ricky smiled, "Definitely." He jumped over the counter and caught Rickster. Keeping his hand under his head as they landed on the floor. He kissed him. --- Reed opened his notepad, "Can you describe her to me? And any possible suspects?" --- Jean would wait until Hannes would finish explaining everything. He soon reached him. "Darling? I...I would like you to come with me to Death's ceremony if that's alright with you." --- Dariel's eyes widened when they appeared in Death's castle. "This is like something out of a fairy tale. It's awesome!" --- Gabriel held a small smile, "Yeah well, humans have got a lot to be sorry for. They drink their sorrows away. Not caring if alcohol kills them or not." He soon frowned. "We Angels had our own battles that we didn't bother to help the human race. We have much to blame for what the humans did to themselves." --- Raven silently took David's hand. Hades did a salute, "You won't be disappointed!" --- Violet clenched her fists, "Fine. You want to know so badly huh?" She turned around and took her shirt off. Revealing old whip marks that were now scarred into her back. "This is what happens when Lucifer says you haven't done enough. This is what happens he tells you to stop fooling around and join the cause." Her hands trembled as she squeezed her shirt. "This is what happens when he kills the only man you ever loved!" --- Raven appeared with David in the throne room. He blinked back tears, "I don't understand. Why doesn't she hate me?" Shubael appeared next to Azrael, "I heard that! Now, if you don't mind me, I'm going to make sure everything looks perfect." He moved his feathers to make sure they flicked at Azrael's face before leaving, "Hmph!" Life had appeared with his plus one. Both were wearing black. He cringed, "I feel like I've gone against my code of life with all this depressing black."

Wow! That's a lot of people. I can only think of Jean inviting Hannes, Raven inviting Conrad, and Life inviting The Hopper. Other than that, there's too many people for me to even think of anything else.

Once both Abaddon and Atma had taken Amelia's hands, she teleported them to Death's Castle. Rickster grinned and leaned over the counter to kiss Ricky. "I've missed you, too. So, candlelit dinner followed by a night of passion under the stars?" --- "CIA?" Kodi said in surprise and glanced around while wondering what he'd missed. But now wasn't the time for that. "Um, I need to report a missing person. She uh, she's one of my roommates. She was supposed to be home hours ago from doing a grocery run, but she never came back. We- my other roommate and I, we found her bag of groceries on the ground at the bus stop. I think she might've been kidnapped." --- Jessica watched as Jean and Hannes vanished. She was about to teleport after them, but caught sight of Nil's expression. "Hey," she said to him quickly. "Don't worry about them. They'll come around. This was what Niko wanted. In the end, that's all that matters, Ok? None of this is your fault." And with that, she vanished too. "Scheiße! (Shit!)" Hannes gasped when he appeared near Jean and saw what was happening. He hurried forward and lifted Patience into his arms. He then hurriedly walked to the medical wing of the castle. Teleporting with Patience in this condition would have been too risky. Niko followed closely behind, his eyes on Patience the whole time. "Should we alert her partner?" he asked in German. Hannes cringed at the question and gave Patience an apologetic look before answering, also in German. "There is no partner, Niko. I'll explain later." He then ducked into the medical wing and called for the help of a midwife. With a flurry of movement, Patience was taken from Hannes's arms and guided to a more private room towards the back of the wing. Just as Patience was taken away, Jessica had managed to catch up to them. "But she cannot be alone for this! Isn't there anyone we can call upon? Her family?" Niko said worriedly, his eyes on the door that Patience had gone through. "She will want to be alone..." Hannes said sadly. He locked eyes with Jessica briefly and knew what her look meant. As much as he hated to admit it, she was right. What happened to Niko was his own choice. Giving him back his memories would only bring him pain. He sighed and nodded to her as a silent agreement that he wouldn't ruin this opportunity for his oldest friend. But still, there were some things that Niko needed to know. He'd missed so much. Starting with Patience. He gave Jean a sad smile as if to tell him he could handle this himself from here. He then wrapped an arm around Niko's shoulder to walk him towards the door so that they could walk the halls while Hannes attempted to fill him in on some important details without triggering any traumatic memories. --- "Good. Remember what I told you about etiquette and creating allies." Shezmu told him privately before gesturing for Warren to come closer. He lifted his elbow for Warren to take and then placed a hand on Dariel's shoulder before teleporting them into Death's Main Hall. --- "Russians?" Lilith repeated the word. There was so much about this world that she had to learn. She inched even closer to the bar with her eyes warily on Gabriel. Gingerly, she reached out and lifted the small glass before bringing it under her nose. She sniffed, then recoiled while cringing as the smell burned her nostrils. "Humans willingly ingest this?" She asked, baffled. "It smells toxic." --- David couldn't help smiling at Hades's words. He looked from her to the band and nodded. "You all look great. I'm looking forward to your performance later on." He said and then turned to Raven. "Speaking of, we should probably get you back home now." --- Kris looked at Violet oddly for a moment before stepping into her room and closing the door behind him to give them some privacy. He looked around briefly before bringing his eyes back to hers. "I thought I heard crying," he said to her quietly as he sat on the edge of her bed. "I know I'm not the most approachable person. I have to..." he paused, contemplating his words before continuing. "This life we have isn't easy. It comes with challenges, prejudice from outsiders and threats from local vampire clans... not to mention rival Tricksters who would love to overthrow me and take this territory for themselves. What I'm trying to say is... I might be the boss here, but you're one of us now. So, you can come and talk to me about anything that might be troubling you. I might not always have time, but if you let me know that you need to talk, then I'll find time." --- When Amelia, Abaddon and Atma arrived in Death's castle, Azrael hurried over to greet them. He held a clipboard in his hands with details for the party, including a guest list. He ticked off Amelia and Abaddon's names as he approached. "You're early!" He greeted them with a smile. He was wearing the traditional formal black robes. As it was a formal occasion, he also had his black feathered wings out, which shone silkily in the light. The hall was handsomely decorated. The walls were lined with tapestries that vaguely told the history of Death's kingdom through intricately woven images. Silver canopies hung from the rafters high overhead and along the top edges of the walls. Death's throne was polished, and on either side of it were two slightly smaller thrones for his Children, for when they completed their oaths. The runway towards Death's throne was kept clear, except for the long carpet which matched the colours of the tapestries around it. Long tables had been set up on either side of the hall with black tablecloths and polished silverware. The chairs are all facing towards the centre of the room. Around them, Reapers were busily setting up the finishing touches. "Are the first ones to get here?" Amelia asked. "For now, but I expect the others will be appearing at any moment." Azrael nodded, and then his eyes landed on Atma, who was looking around them in awe. "Atma?!" Her eyes snapped to Azrael in surprise. "Oh, I guess you know me. Sorry, I don't remember-" "No, th-that's fine. Apologies, I know your situation. I was just surprised to see you here." Azrael stumbled on his words awkwardly before smiling at her. "My name is Azrael. Despite the circumstances, it is nice to see you again." He awkwardly cleared his throat after adding her name as one of the plus ones, and then he gestured around them while speaking. "During the ceremony, you'll be expected to stand on either side of this runway. It's important that until the oaths are completed, none of the guests say or do anything to interrupt. When the oaths are completed and Death invites his children to sit by his side, he will then give the order for the feast to commence. That's when you'll need to take your seats at the tables at the sides here... There's no seating plan, so sit next to whoever you want. Once everyone is seated, our culinary team will start bringing in food and drinks. They're here to serve you, but you're still guests, so please be respectful to them. When you have finished with your meal, you can head to the ballroom..." Azrael continued on to give them the trio directions to the ballroom as well as the lavatories, in case they'd be needed. This is the same speech he would give to each guest as they arrived, so that all guests would know what to expect and how to behave. "Finally, there is a ballet box arranged in a private room. I'll give you the direction momentarily, but at any point during the ball, you may submit your vote in private. Unity has already arrived and enchanted the ballot box to only take one vote from each guest. Additional votes submitted by the same guest will incinerate itself as it enter the box." Azrael looked a little relieved to have finished his spiel, as he then pointed towards the back of the room where a temporary bar area had been set up. "You may help yourselves to drinks as we await the other guests." "Blimey! How many times do you have to go through all that info?" Amelia chuckled, a little amused. "I dare not think on it." Azrael laughed as he noticed Carol appear in a simple black dress. "Please excuse me," he said as he made his way over to her. Shortly after Carol arrived, Shezmu, Dariel and Warren would appear next to get the same speech from Azrael. Then David arrived, too, with Raven. "Well, I suppose we might as well get a drink," Amelia said to Abaddon and Atma. "Oh, yes, please." Atma smiled. Being in this new place for what appeared to be a very fancy party was exciting. But also, after already being recognised by someone she had no memory of, she felt a drink might just settle her nerves a bit. "Amelia!" Carol cooed as she half-jogged over to them in her black heels. "Oh, so he did invite you, then?" Amelia chuckled. "I'm just as surprised as you are, but I'm not complaining." Carol grinned as she walked towards the bar with them. "Sex on the beach, please, sweety!" she ordered from the bartending reaper. "And maybe afterwards I'll get a drink?" she then said jokingly with a cheeky wink. "Mum! Cut it out!" Amelia groaned. "It's just a joke!" Carol laughed as the reaper began mixing the drink after rolling his eyes. Shortly after, Lilly walked into the room in her new dress and robe. She looked around shyly at the mixture of new and familiar faces. A reaper approached Azrael to ask him what they should do with the ice sculpture of Shubael that had just been delivered. Looking slightly irritated, Azrael rubbed his forehead as he instructed the reapers to take it into the ballroom for now. As they hurried away, he then mumbled under his breath, "With any luck, it'll melt before the ball starts..." --- [[----------- To make things a little easier to remember who is attending;- From Death's Realm:- * Death (+ Guest?) * Azrael (No Guest Invited) * Lilly (No Guest Invited) * Raven (+ Guest?)

I'm working on my next post btw 😄

To make things a little easier to remember who is attending. Let me know if any of yours who have a + Guest? next to their name have invited any other characters and I'll add them in. Or if not I'll just put a No Guest Invited next to their name. I'll keep this updated for each post we do for the ceremony/ball so that we can keep track 🙂 ;- From Death's Realm:- * Death (+ Guest?) * Azrael (No Guest Invited) * Lilly (No Guest Invited) * Raven (+ Conrad) From Life's Realm:- * Life (+ The Hopper) From Earth:- * Shezmu (+ Warren) * Dariel (+ Guest?) * Jean (+ Hannes) From Heaven:- * Nate (+ Guest?) * Gabriel (+ Guest?) * Samael (No Guest Invited) * Raziel (+ Guest?) * Cassiel (+ Guest?) * Raphael (+ Guest?) * Jophiel (+ Guest?) * Haniel (+ Guest?) * Uriel (No Guest Invited) * Camael (+ Guest?) * Zadkiel (+ Guest?) * Shubael (+ Guest?)

Honestly, it's fine! Anyone in the castle could've gone to help, including Jean. 🙂

Honest question, should I have not used Jean for that scene? I forgot about everyone else's name at the castle for some reason and didn't bother to check my notes. I'm really sorry about that. I'll be sure not to do that next time.

Abaddon looked at her before taking it. Ricky smirked at Rickster, "Mind giving me a cupid moment with you? You've been working nonstop. I've been missing you." --- Travis pointed at Reed who was sitting at a temporary desk. Reed looked up from his book, "Hello officer. What do you need? I'm with the CIA but I can still help." --- Jean appeared before Niko and Patience. "Hannes! We need help!" Nil could only stand there in silence. Finding himself thinking over what had happened and whether or not, he was a problem. --- Dariel thought for a moment. The idea of having a relationship seemed like it had been crushed since his recent breakup. Yet, Shezmu was giving him hope. He nodded, "Yes sir." --- Gabriel poured the alcohol she pointed at, "This is Vodka. Humans, especially Russians, can handle this stuff. It's strong so I think it'll be right up your taste." --- Raven smiled before taking his hand. They appeared in Hell's Library. Hades walked over, "Hey dad! And kid from the portal?" Raven stepped forward, "I've come to apologize and change you back into your previous form." Hades nonchalantly waved her hand, "It's ok kid. I'm good." Raven's eyes widened, "What?! But I turned you into this monster! Aren't you mad at me? You should be hating me right now!" The band stopped fixing their instruments and watched the scene unfold. Raven was now bursting with tears as his fists were clenched. Hades knelt down and put a hand on his shoulder, "Look kid. None of it was your fault. I decided to mess with shit that I shouldn't have. Honestly though, I'm cool with being a Hellhound. To be closer to my adoptive dad? That's way better than knowing I was related to some egotistical psycho when I was a Leviathan. So, you're ok in my book kid." Raven didn't know what to say. --- Violet quickly drew her blouse on and rubbed her eye. She soon opened the door with a grin. "Hey Kris! How's it hanging? Want another round of drinks or what?"
