009 | Anna Milton | [video & private]

[afallenstar]

It seems everyone's had quite the morning, so I'll keep this brief. If any of you think you might be the kind of powered up that can help figure out exactly what it is people are turning into, let me know.

In the mean time just...be careful, guys.

[[ Private to the Angelsibs and honorarysib housemate Chuck ]]

As someone [ see Gabriel, re: griping announcement earlier ] has mentioned already, there's something weird going on here. We're human now, completely, and Balthazar....
[ All in good time. ]

Obviously it's a little harder to keep in touch now, but are you all okay so far? No broken bones, stubbed toes, fatal injuries? Keep in touch, okay?

[[ Private to Fun Ghoul ]]

We have a bit of a situation here.

Comments

[enchangement]

Nope. They turned down the radio when they altered her schematic.

Funny, the parts missing are still gone.

[ Only, yanno, not funny at all. ]

[accidental private video]

[servingmichael]

I'm not human.

[Clearly as he looks about three, with a diaper and quiver - and the confetti and glitter everywhere.

And the fluffy wings.]

Private

[villainized]

While I'm just flattered by the consideration, don't lump me in with the rest of you. I am not human.

[afallenstar]

[ Now that's problematic, and it occurs to her that maybe that's what this is, neutering the more perceptive of the bunch. ]

What did happen to you? A human, or...?

[private video 5eva]

[afallenstar]

[ She stares.

...And stares.

...And stares a little more, until finally- ]

Raphael?

[ And she really can't help it when she lets out a small, muffled snicker of laughter, trying to duck her head out of the feed to be slightly more subtle. ]

[private video 5eva] (to angel sibs filter so. meant to say)

[servingmichael]

It wasn't funny when Gabriel laughed Anna.

[He flicks his wings and a tiny cloud of glitter follows the movement.]

This keeps getting in my eyes.

Private forever and ever (shush I'm lazy)

[afallenstar]

You're not?

[ She jumps quickly on Lucifer's reply, and as much as it should feel a little unpleasant that he's not been demojoed like the rest of them, mostly she just feels relieved. ]

I think you might be the only one, we've all been hit by...whatever it is that's going on this time.

[afallenstar]

[ Oh God, he's getting it in his eye. She actually can't deal with this right now, just drops her head down until all that's visible are silent, shaking shoulders.

She really doesn't mean to mock your predicament, brother, it's just that this is hilarious. ]

I'm sorry, I know. It's not funny. [ Yes it is, but she gets it under control to direct her attention back to the feed. He looks like something off of a damn valentine's day card. Which....no way. He couldn't be, right? ]

[tryingitall]

Balthazar...is not human. More's the pity.

[servingmichael]

Then stop laughing.

[Lacking his normal voice, it's almost a whine.

And yes, yes he is.]

[villainized]

I hate them. Why would I ever want to be one of them?

[ He sighs, rolling his eyes like he's the most put-upon person in existence. Maybe he is. ]

Maybe if you just stopped associating with them, you wouldn't catch their diseases.

[afallenstar]

None of us wanted any of this.

[ ...Well. Not strictly true, but she didn't want it now. It's far too dangerous to be a human now. ]

Not everyone is human, just me and Gabriel. Raphael is...well. Have you seen? I have no idea what's happening to Balthazar though.

[ Maybe possibly finding this human gig really really frustrating? No, no way! After all, this is what she'd wanted all along. Except not really, because it's absolutely useless right now. ]

[afallenstar]

And is Balthazar going to let us in on what that is, exactly?

[enchangement]

Or.

[ River pulls the video away from her face and holds her arm up against a tree. The tree seems to absorb it. ]

A tree and a girl.

[tryingitall]

What makes you think I know? I can't think straight. I'm a monster. An animal.

video, private

[venatical]

I could probably make you think you were an angel again. I think. Maybe. I'm not really sure how this works.

[ And he's maybe not super excited about using his powers to that extent. He doesn't even like thinking of them as his powers. ]

video, private

[afallenstar]

That is...the least helpful offer I've had all day, thank you.

[ Normally she'd be a little more patient, but it's hard trying to keep up with the latest thing the people keeping them here seem to have thrown their way. Even harder trying to do it all as a human.

Still, after rubbing a hand over her face, her attention goes back to Dean. ] What happened to you, then?

[venatical]

Uh, well. If you want candy or to swap Gabriel's shampoo with Nair, then I could help you out.

[afallenstar]

[ Now that she's done with that, she can start to take the situation a little more seriously, because as funny as it is to see Raphael as a small child spouting glitter, this is still a big problem. They're screwing with archangels here, as in plural. That's got to be some powerful people pulling the strings. ]

Sorry, I'm done. Are you...okay? [ It feels weird asking Raphael that, but she has to check. She included him in the filter for a reason after all. love lost aside, he's still her brother.

...No one has to like their family all the time, right? ]

As entertaining as your new form is, have you figured out the major differences yet? I'm guessing you might be a little more...breakable than normal, but appearances could be deceiving.

[afallenstar]

I'm working on it. Someone around here has got to be able to figure it out, they can't have just downgraded us all.

[afallenstar]

...You're a trickster?

[ Damn it. Of all the things... Anna's just going to heave out a sigh before she continues any further. While she's sure this won't last forever, they never do, it certainly means the indefinite future is going to be interesting.

If interesting means 'frustrating and stressful', anyway. ]

Please tell me you're not having impulses to inflict strange, unusual and oh so hilarious torture on people.

[afallenstar]

Wow, they're really pulling out the stops this time.

[ The more she learns, the less she likes what is going on here. They're really going old school with this stuff it seems, and that's never good. The older you go, the more powerful things tend to be, and the only ones around here powerful enough to take on that kind of thing and help protect people have been twisted into something else.

Great. ]

If you find anyone around here who might be able to figure it out, could you...let me know? it's important.

[venatical]

Um... [ If ever there was a guilty face, it was this one. He fidgets. ]

I was serious about the Nair in his shampoo.

( audio )

[rigging]

[ He just has to tell someone: ] Anna, holy shit, I can smell everything. [ He can smell the rabbits in the woods, that's how awesome this is. ]

[servingmichael]

[He would have thought it some prank Gabriel and Lucifer were playing on him, had he not already spoken with Gabriel. It's something they would have done, once.]

I'm uninjured and not overly uncomfortable.

[It's too serious an answer from the tiny form.

And no, you don't have to like your family all the time.]

Some of the rocks are sharp, though they didn't cut my feet. And this feels differently from being in a vessel, more that this is my true form now, which is another issue, as I'm not sure where Donnie is.

[Raphael actually cared about his vessel. Who knew?]

Sleeping was very strange, I don't care for it.
