Awakening an old muse. Voice testing.

[confined_to_briah]

The name you gave me, it isn't suitable. (Alexiel slides her fingers into her hair and fastens it in place with a pin. She looks entirely unconcerned and uninterested.) I was confined to Briah a long time ago - far longer than you could ever comprehend with your mortal mind. Therefore the name is outdated.

(Pausing, she examines the various jars and ornate boxes on the vanity before her.)

Setsuna is - (Here she can't be quite so emotionless.) He has much to accomplish. If he awakens me - fully - (And not in short, violent bursts.) I will vent my rage on those who deserve it most. As such...

(She turns and stares intently at her Mun.) I have no desire to leave the world I know nor the world I have known.

Alexiel!

[sympathyforme]

No desire to vent, as you say?

[beyourarmy]

...with me, you are awake.

Tell your mun to let you rest where you want. I'll handle everything, okay?

Lucifer! <3

[confined_to_briah]

I don't recall saying that.

And Setsuna! /happiness

[confined_to_briah]

I know you will. (He's stronger than her in some ways - in the ways that matter most for the current situation.) But I will lend you my strength when you need it.

She's kind of like a mother XD

[beyourarmy]

Of course you will. You always have. I don't doubt that. Tell your mun you should rest. You've earned it.

A battle hardened mother. .o/

[confined_to_briah]

That kindness...

Don't lose it and don't let anyone take it from you. (It's far more precious than winning any war.) You give hope to others.

[beyourarmy]

Of course not! I won't let anyone take anything else from me. Not anyone, or anything.

I will now play it cool, ignore the flailing!

[sympathyforme]

Then your writer should send you somewhere. You can't be confined for long.

But the flailing makes me feel like I'm looking in a mirror!

[confined_to_briah]

I take it that you have a home? (No hope in her voice. She knows better than that.)

[confined_to_briah]

I believe you will succeed. You have far more support than you know. (Or perhaps he does know. Regardless, he has never been alone.)

Alright, we can be flail-twins! While these two play it cool.

[sympathyforme]

No.

But I stay at a place. Setsuna is there.

Your brother, too.

(So is his brother, Raphael, Katan and Belial, but priorities.)

[beyourarmy]

Mmmm. I've got you with me, and Rosiel's wings. Kurai, Uriel and Michael are back there doing what they can, and even Adam Kadamon is probably still trying.

We'll be alright.

Seems about right.

[confined_to_briah]

Quite a reunion. (One she would actually be awake for.) Is the environment hostile?

so i herd u lacked hairflips : ( b

[shall_yield_us]

Stay, then, in hallowed-holly sanctuary with your chains, until they steal your breath and steal your flesh and steal your thoughts, your first thought, your last thought, your very wit - stay bound until decay's been born on and of and upon you. Stay, sister. Be the craven and the idle puppet and a prisoner to a mortal's wants.

See where it will take you.

...it's canon for him to threadjack ;A; I'm SORRY!

[beyourarmy]

Of course it's hostile! We're there. Hard for it not to be.

[He's also good at attracting trouble.]

[confined_to_briah]

I sometimes wonder if humans learn from angels or if angels are learning from humans. (All the pieces are shifting and there is a glimpse of a brighter future on the horizon.) For the first time, I believe that, Setsuna.

[beyourarmy]

That's easy. We're learning from each other. The demons and evils, too.

Now KISS!

[sympathyforme]

It is. I'm the only one confined to a human body.

(He shrugs. They have been through a lot.)

There are what's called 'curses'. Some silly, some can be dangerous for body and mind. I'd not want Setsuna alone there. But I'm told it's not as hostile as other places.

Why do you ask?

[guardiansinner]

So you're her, the one that Setsuna was reincarnated from?

It's hard when everyone seems to know you, and I'm lost.

y yes, I do. :3

[confined_to_briah]

It has taken me to a place where I have glimpsed something rare, Rosiel. Something I fear you have never known. (Seeing him saddens her, but she keeps her expression stern.) I have failed you. If we meet again, I will not fail you again.

[confined_to_briah]

You have always known me. I am part of Setsuna. (Even if she was slumbering while Sara was alive.)

[guardiansinner]

I know.... But it's different to actually talk to you. I never got that chance before.

[confined_to_briah]

Some angels would show distaste over the very idea.

[beyourarmy]

That's when you just punch them! Tell the pompous assholes to just get over it.

Threadjack away!

[confined_to_briah]

That is a level of hostility that does not bother me. (A soft laugh.) It's hardly worth waking for.
