XX

[Zelos had been taking a short nap in his room, kinda oblivious to the flooding until it started flooding into his room on the fourth floor. But you know, nothing wakes you up like ice cold water splashing on your face. And now without any choice, he's forced to vacate outside the windows, wings fully out and kinda glowing like flipping tinkerbell in the night as he struggles to try to stay in the air because he's still getting the hang of this flying thing; dictated in a VERY annoyed tone though he's not entirely aware his journal slipped open]

Seriously?!

Is this usually what counts for a rain shower here?! You gotta be kidding me! What are we supposed to do - tread water all night?! Ugh!

[What guys the night isn't complete without some whining]

[OOC: Open, over the journal- whatever. He's not a strong enough flyer to carry people without you know, making you wish you had chosen to swam instead- but at least he can be, idk- a light source if all else?]

[!!] I'm not a fairy!

[He'll take the rope to fly up to the next floor, tying it to an overhang or something] Of course! I wouldn't leave a lady to peril! If you fall...I'll do my best to try to catch you, okay?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She gives him a look] I think the gentleman doth protest too much.

[She snickers, looking out the window, holding a hand out to try to watch him. Ooooh man this is gonna be interesting...]

Well the bitch said I couldn't climb a rope if my life depended on it. Let's see if she's right.

[She steps up onto her windowsill, holding onto the rope for balance]

[wilder]

Aren't those things supposed to be really short anyway?

[He watches her, trying to do what he can to steady the rope. DON'T DROP GIRL...]

Let's hope not!

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah, but it's kinda tough to think of anything else you could be with those wings you've got there.

[trying not to think about the fact that she's on the fourth floor and the distinct lack of GROUND below her, Nora grips the rope and starts to pull herself up. It's tough going since the rope's slick as hell and the rain's pouring down over her.]

[wilder]

Heh, heh...you wouldn't believe it if I told you, but it's not a fairy.

[Yeah, he's watching....sure wish he had an umbrella or something for you. Or you know, wasn't a complete sucky flyer ]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She grits her teeth, trying to concentrate on not falling. Her hands slip a little and she slides down a couple of inches. Panicked, she gasps and grabs on even tighter, hanging in the same place for a moment while she catches her breath.]

Try me.

[wilder]

[He'll try flying a little lower because that whole sliding down is worrisome.]

[He hesitates, but she is kinda going out on a limb here with the whole climbing up a wall...and Lloyd said not to lie about himself, so...]

Uh...Angel?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She looks over at him]

Wait... are you calling me Angel or is that what you are?

[Now that her heart rate has come down to slightly more manageable levels she starts to climb again, slowly and carefully.]

[wilder]

Ehehehe, well I'm sure I can call you Angel if you want, darling! But I was going with the latter there.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Just making sure. So you're an angel. Like, uh, Aziraphale?

[Surprisingly, talking is helping keep her focused on the moment and, well, not on plumetting to her death. She's moving slowly, but she's making definite headway.]

[wilder]

I dunno. Whose Aziraphale?

[he's relieved to see that, but definitely still keeping watch]

[eat_me_beat_me]

He's an angel who used to be here... He went home.

[She pauses, trying to catch her breath.]

[wilder]

Oh. Well...I dunno. Angels might be different from world to world.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah, well, don't really have 'em in my world so I can't compare.

[She looks up. Almost there! Slowly she starts to climb again]

[wilder]

Hahaha, we're not really common. [He shrugs] Being human's more fun anyway.

[eat_me_beat_me]

More fun? How do you figure?

[She can almost reach the ledge, now. SOCLOSE]

[wilder]

Heh, because I was born human? So I know the difference.

[There's a lot of reasons, but he prefers remaining vague. ]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She reaches up to grab the ledge, hand slipping at first thanks to the rain]

You were... [She gets a better grip, trying to pull herself up] human?

[wilder]

[He'll head over to the ledge, reaching down to give her a hand up. He snorts]

Is it that hard to believe?
