(Out of Character Post)
Other Characters: the Metatron, Hastur, Nemesis,
Basic Summary: Sandalphon attempts to speak with the Metatron without much success; this does not quite help Sandalphon's dislike of Hastur (or Hastur's dislike of Sandalphon, as the case may be). As such, it's not exactly surprising when Sandalphon threatens the demon.
[...!]
[XD]
Oh, look, it's Nancy!
[Sorry.]
...
[SHINY]
-Nancy-?
Yeah.
(... *SNOGS SANDALPHON*)
Snickerdoodle, you can come back!
What if I don't want to
*?
Um. You don't have to?
*Comes back anyway* *Shrugs* *Oh, look, AAAHHH SCARY TALLER VERSION OF META*
*doesn't exactly glare, but it's about the same, in the demon's general direction* Oh, well, it's Marigold.
*...hugsNem*
*bats his eyelashes* That's me!
*Hugsback* *Blinks*
*hugs tightly for a moment before letting go*
What was...oh, I'm not even going to ask.
*pulls a flower from his pocket and flicks it at the demon's forehead* It suits you. *smiles softly to the Metatron* Hello, brother.
*catches the flower and sticks it behind his ear*
(*mad love for Sandalphon, omg*)
*smiles nervously at Sandalphon (for which "Sandy" is not an acceptable abbreviation, no -really-)* Hello. Um.
*pulls the flower out again and studies it* ... Thirty-four. Good. *replaces it behind his ear*
*short pause* Are you not comfortable with my presence ...?
It's a family reunion! How cute!
*Goddessmods up a random flower and throws it at Hastur* Sssshhh.
*catches the flower, glances at it, and grins* *sticks it behind his other ear*
*Facepalm*
*glances at Hastur, then back at Sandalphon, then settles on looking at the floor because he's damned good at that* I don't know.
*pauses again* I understand. *glances at Hastur after the Metatron does* Would it be amiss to assume that this demon has something to do with it?
... Honestly, Nancy! That's uncalled for!
*silent, because we don't want to reveal that we're a demon's PA now. no we don't*
*Can drag the demon...somewhere!*
I'm just sitting here being *perfectly* well-behaved, and all of a sudden I get these baseless accusations!
*does not look again at Hastur, instead keeping his gaze steady on the Metatron* My dear brother, if something has happened you must know you can tell me.
*glances at Meta*
*has been practicing this lie! so might be less awful at it by now* No, I'm... fine, other than -- the obvious.
See? Told you.
*Pokes Hastur*
*pokes Nem back*
*Squeaks and pokes again*
*laughs and pokes back again*
*Squeaks and pokepokepoke*
*squirms a little and pokeypokey*
*an air of sadness is about him, though it is not obvious in his expression* "Thou shalt not bear false witness," brother.
*Much with the squeaky* *Is good at distracting Hastur, see? POKE*
*grabs Nem's wrist and looks back at Meta*
*Blinksqueak, hi* *Looks, too*
*takes a deep breath and looks up at Sandalphon* I'm fine. Trust me. Please. *just this one, he's pulling off a lie amazingly well*
[...*once]
[I CAN TYPE. ;___; And by "can" we mean "can't."]
*smiles a bit and lets go of Nem's wrist*
*Makes a face at the demonthing*
*sticks his tongue out at Nem*
*Sticks tounge out right back*
*smirks*
*Rolls eyes*
*closes his eyes, mutters softly* I see you are set in this... but I am afraid that I am not convinced. *almost with a cold formality* The Metatron, we must speak of this later.
Oh, he doesn't believe you, Clance. That's rich.
*Elbows Hastur in the ribs* Don't make me send you to a corner for time out.
Hey, stop that.
*Shrug*
*turns quickly to glare at Hastur* I believe not the words that surely have come from thee, demon.
Wait a sec.
If *I* was going to put words in his mouth, I guarantee they wouldn't be so dumb.
* Metatron has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*drily* Somehow I can think of no reason to trust your guarantee.
Right. Because you're an uptight angel. Big shock.
....*Woo, Demon and angel snark*
*coolly* Yes, there is always that. There also is the fact that, for some strange and inexplicable reason, my brother seems beholden to thee. *looks over to Nemesis* Would you happen to know anything of this?
*Shakes head* They don't tell me anything anymore.
Oh, right. Because I could *totally* get an angel to be 'beholden to me'. That'd be a coup.
*slight ironic smile* My brother is far too trusting. I imagine that his nearly Falling was something of thine own doing. Perhaps I am simply giving thee too much credit.
I'm totally not that smart.
Thou art preaching to the choir, demon.
I am *wounded*. Granted, I think you were going for that. But no. I have absolutely nothing to do with Clancy's... whatever he's up to right now.
*pauses* Perhaps I am doubting thee too much. However, should I learn that it is as I have suspected, let us hope that thou hath no reason to cross my path in the future.
Trust me, angel, I had nothing to do with it. But even if I did, you couldn't do anything to me that I haven't gotten worse.
...now I want to think of something.
*looks at Nem and laughs a little* Good luck with that.
We shall see, demon. *another pause* On both accounts. In any case, I was only here to speak with my brother. I have said all I had need to say, and have no desire to speak with thee further. *looks over to Nemesis and nods politely* Good night to you, milady.
*Smiles* Good night.
*mutters* That makes two of us.
