Gabriel - Video - 04 (Filtered away from Lucifer, if that's even possible)

[hung_garian]

Right. Newbie. Blond, tall, smirky, goes by Lucifer? Don't fucking piss him off, 'kay? Flat-out keep your distance if at all possible. Especially if you're human. You won't just be putting your ass on the line, it'll be everyone's too. He won't massacre you all if you don't cross him, and trust me, he'd like to. It's an offer you won't get twice, and if I have to personally take out anyone who tries anything on with him, I will. Just a heads up, gang.

[He's not sure that he isn't blowing his cover in doing this, but right now that's a secondary concern. Primary concern is whether people will actually listen to him, especially given who he is. He's hoping so - this arrangement is fragile enough that one impulsive hero type could ruin it, and there's altogether too many of those in this place.]

[ Waiiiit a minute. Galen was already a little suspicious, but he knows Anna said that not many people know about the angel thing. He makes a mental note of that sigil thing. ] Wait -- do you know Anna?

[hung_garian]

Why?

[He's aware that some people know what she is, and that she's okay with that. But if Galen isn't one of those people, he'd rather not blow her cover.]

[gleans]

[ ... Shit. Galen can't think of a way to phrase this without blowing Anna's cover. But Gabriel knows an awful lot about Lucifer... ]

Uuuh. You both just seem to know a lot about... angel business. [ Eyebrows up. He's not gonna say because she's one of the angels. ]

[hung_garian]

We're from the same world. Angels are a thing, and as a collective, a grumpy thing inclined to throw tantrums. Knowing about them's kind of important if you want to not be dead.

[gleans]

[ Okay, he's going for it: ] So. Loki and-slash-or Gabriel. Are you an angel?

[hung_garian]

[Ugh. He really shouldn't have given out that name.]

Since when is Loki an angel? C'mon.

[gleans]

[ He rubs at his forehead. ]

Just -- both you and Anna said there were others, but not who. All I want to know is who else actually stands a chance at keeping people safe when or if Lucy flips his shit, y'know, who to go to.

[hung_garian]

If you don't know any of the angels, I guess I'm your best bet. Not that that means a lot.

[gleans]

Well thanks, man. I appreciate it. [ He does look grateful, aside from being somewhat nervous. ] This place has gotten way the fuck over my head, or I'd offer to help.

[hung_garian]

Eh. You'd be as much help as anyone, Lucifer can probably explode us all with his mind anyway.

[gleans]

Ha, good to know. Um -- thanks for the heads up, I'll talk to Anna.

[hung_garian]

Good plan. She might be more reassuring.

[Plus it saves him from having to edge around the 'angel' issue.]
