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!"

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.

i kinda take turns with some styles. i go for dark and spooky/cute and colorful/basic and beige. just whatever i'm in the mood for.

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!"

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.

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?"

just letting you know, I re edit my message to add the scene. it's the last one.

Would it be alright if I added another scene? I wanted to bring Violet back. However, I need to know if you're ready to send the message.

Abaddon nodded, "Thank you. I appreciate your encouragement." He looked at Atma, "That dress. It...suits you." --- Travis was sitting at his new desk. He smiled at Kodi and waved. His sketchbook and other drawing tools were in front of him. --- Nil blurted out, "I wanted to make his pain go away! I took him to a pond filled with my magic. His memories were erased. He's not hurt anymore but...I'm sorry. He doesn't remember anything." He bit his lip. Fighting back tears as he felt like now wasn't the time to cry while Hannes was pissed. Jean appeared. A tear fell, "You! How could you?! Without telling Hannes about it first?" --- Dariel was fumbling with the bow on his suit. Frankly, he would have preferred not to wear a suit. His eyes widened at the sight of Shezmu with someone. "Didn't take you for a lover." --- Gabriel flushed, "Oh! That's right. You haven't had a chance to try human drinks, right?" He took out a few bottles from the shelf and set them on the bar. "Well, there's all sorts of alcohol that you can try. We've got whiskey, scotch, tequila, and a variety of old wine. There's a couple more things but the list goes on." --- Hades would be at the Library with her friends. Preparing everyone and herself for the ceremony. The band would be dressed in suits. Hades was wearing a red dress with a cobweb pattern. Raven lowered his head, "Could you, perhaps, come with me? I feel as though I need someone there to make me feel less strange. I am still unsure of my presence with her. Of how she feels about her form. Whether or not, she spites me for it." --- When Kris would wake up, he would hear crying coming from Violet's room. Violet had her blouse in her hands as she sat at the edge of the bed. Old scars from whip marks were on her back.

Abaddon jumped at the sudden change in his clothes. He looked at what was over him. An all black Victorian suit. He moved his arm, "Must you? I would have preferred my usual wardrobe. This feels tightening. How does anyone dress like this?" He looked up to see Atma and found himself at a loss for words. He stared for what felt like an eternity before he quickly looked away. "I really don't know about this. No one knows me or has probably heard about me. And if they have, it is not for good reasons." Ricky smiled at Rickster then turned to Abaddon, "You're too hard on yourself." --- Harris grit his teeth, "You better find her or it's your ass on the line!" He disappeared. --- Nil replied, "But he doesn't remember you!" He looked around, "Hannes?! Where are you?" --- Insanity replied, "Who's to say it must come from a living being? Hell has much power to give. Yet, I still believe Shezmu is the right man for you. I will rest on this couch and regain my strength. You can tell me all about your time at the party. I wouldn't mind hearing it." --- Gabriel poured a brandy, "Oh yeah! We go way back. You should have seen us centuries ago." He chuckled, "We were a bunch of trouble makers." He lifted an empty glass. "Got a favorite drink?" --- Raven nodded, "Thank you. I believe it might be possible for my powers to help her. She was attacked by the very same portal that was opened with my brother's powers after he.... sacrificed himself for me and Conrad. Do you know where Hades might be?"

Good to know that you're ok. Don't worry. I'm not trying to rush our story. Just got a bit worried as I always do sometimes. I tend to overthink things but I try to keep myself grounded. At the very least, I'm glad your only struggles have been general things. Though I hope your landlord isn't an ass. I've had my fair share of terrible landlords.

Hey just wanted to check on you and see if everything's alright. I haven't heard from you in a while so I worry too much. You know me and my anxiety. Sorry if I'm being too invasive.

Ricky turned the stove off. He set the scrambled eggs and sausages on a plate. Placing it on the counter. "Amelia said this guy needs to be looked after while they're off doing royal duties. He's...?" Abaddon awkwardly stepped forward, "I had a human side at one point when I lost my memories and powers. It wasn't a good human. He wants to hurt people. As for bringing you somewhere, well, there is a ceremony for Death's children. I don't have anyone to bring as guest. I am still new to this modern world. I only came back from Oblivion recently. I understand that you were once a Spirit of Life. I was wondering if you would like to go to the ceremony as my invited guest?" --- Harris was around the corner. He ran over to Kodi, "Where could she be?! I can't get to her!" --- Nil looked around, "I need someone who knows Niko as a friend. Someone needs to talk to him." He helped Niko to a chair before turning to Jessica. Bringing himself and her further away from him. "The pond worked but....his memories are gone. Everything has been erased. He's a human now." He shook his head with tears in his eyes. "I-I didn't mean to. I was just trying to help. I didn't know...." --- Insanity walked over to Warren and touched his leg as he was too short to hold his hand. "I know you want me to love you but I feel as though I don't deserve you. Shezmu seems better. Answer me this, despite everything, do you still want me to love you? I can take back all my power. I can become an adult once again. As much as I want to punish myself, I don't want you to be upset. And I don't want to be in the way of your choices." --- Nate found himself surprised by this but smiled. He found comfort in her singing and her touch. For the first time, he felt safe. Probably a bit too safe as he ended up falling asleep. --- Raven took a deep breath. Before he would enter the ceremony, he needed to do one small thing. He appeared wherever David was. "My apologies but I must ask permission from you. Your friend Hades? Does she want me to turn her back?"
