Innocence

[thelostseraph]

Ahh . . .  Where . . . Where is this?

. . . Riviera?  Is this Riviera?  But there aren't any Sprites.  Very few demons, too.  Or even angels.  I suppose that doesn't really leave much choice, then.  Some sort of mythical race, perhaps?

Or maybe -- Could this be a final test?  The procedure was to be tomorrow.  I had thought the Magi were satisfied

Nice Halloween costume, dude.

[thelostseraph]

. . . Thank you? What's Halloween?

Aren't you inner demons supposed to give me some sort of insight on my situation?

[totallynotaspaz]

Inner demons? Whoa, tooootally not my territory, man.

Aww, man, you don't know what Halloween is? It's this radical holiday where you get to dress up and get tons of free candy. Bummer it's not October, I totally could've showed you the maximum candy route.

[thelostseraph]

. . . Well. I guess it sounds exciting.

It is rather improper, though -- Eating so much candy at once is a bit of a sin. Be sure to space out your candy consumption evenly across a week or so. For your own health, as well.

[angel_crow]

You talk a lot, mister.

[thelostseraph]

I'm sorry.

Are you supposed to represent my inner child or something? Strange. Black wings.

[angel_crow]

Huh? What's an inner child s'posed to be?

[thelostseraph]

Oh. Well. I don't really know, either. Usually, I believe you're supposed to play with your inner child and rediscover the joy of being young.

. . . What do you like to play?

[hailbeautyqueen]

That explains a bit.

[thelostseraph]

. . . Ah. I thought I'd sensed one nearby.

You'll forgive my caution -- Inner demon or no, it's still a bit unnerving to come across something that resembles one.

[hailbeautyqueen]

Heh, you're a lot more respectful when you're younger. I think I like you better this way.

Black wings look better, though.

[thelostseraph]

Wh -- ? I don't understand what you're trying to say. You know me . . . in the future?

[worstnunevar]

You're ... an angel?

[thelostseraph]

That is correct.

. . . You wear the clothing of the priests. Are you in service to the gods as well?

[worstnunevar]

Er, well, I work at the church. Healing people. I don't know if that counts.

Guess I should have figured if there were demons around, there would be angels too.

[thelostseraph]

Cleric, then. How admirable. Serving faithfully from such a young age . . .

My name is Ledah.

[blackmagicangel]

Ledah. It has been quite some time since I last saw you.

[thelostseraph]

Ah . . . Did we meet very long ago? I apologize if I have forgotten you.

[blackmagicangel]

...your wings were black before. Similar to mine.

[thelostseraph]

My wings were black . . . before?

Ah. I believe they'd warned me about this. Black wings are the mark of the Grim Angel -- You must be another from my future. Strange, though. You are clearly not an angel yourself.
