Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

A hot spring room. Was that also empty?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'where the rest of the guys who ended up in heaven headed first, so they were there already when we got there.

Absinthe and co.

If the Baritones were in that room, I should know anything important about it. One of them may give a report as well.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

The water was all holy water, I'm pretty sure. There were these discs above the pools, with a bunch of different settings on em.

Absinthe found a diary in the room, written by one of the angels.

And, uh. One of the angels showed up.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

... Did Absinthe keep the diary?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

He tried real hard.

The angel took it back, though.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Good.

Did you get the angel's name? I can likely direct him to Absinthe if you'd prefer not to share it...

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

The angel goes by Mehniel.

What do you think he wanted the diary for?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Everything. Gaining access to the personal notes of an enemy...

Do you know what could have been in there? Details on the war. On responsibilities that were given to them. Projects they were working on. Missions or other plans they argued for or against.

It would be a blueprint to knowing your enemy.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well, yeah. But the weird part is, I'm pretty sure Absinthe read it already. He said he did, anyway.

So how come he wanted to keep it, if he already knew what was in there?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

...Magic would be my best guess. An object that a divine being poured all of their thoughts into may have value as an ingredient for some ritual. Like the one that brought you into Heaven in the first place.

Or it may be as simple as Absinthe not understanding the importance of what he read in it. Azzy may have context we don't to understand the contents.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, well. Either way, fingers crossed it got stashed somewhere safe.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

I will assume it was if Mehniel had it last.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

Fingers crossed, right?

Seemed pretty important to em, so I don't think they planned on letting it go anytime soon.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Mm...

Did anything else happen after that?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

The angel dunked Absinthe in holy water a couple times, cause he was being a dick?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Did it actually shut him up?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

[See-saws his hand a little back and forth.]

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Of course.

It didn't have any effect on him, did it?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean. It burns, dude. Kinda - kinda sucks.

Steer clear of the stuff, now that Azzy's got you. Kay?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Don't worry, I have no plans involving holy water.

...What was Absinthe doing to make the angel so angry?

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

Playing keepaway with the diary.

The angel got real upset.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Tt. It definitely has some value we don't understand.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[crossmyheartandhope]

...think it was personal, for Mehniel. They said the general gave it to em.

I... they really been missing the other angels.

Re: THE NEXT DAY - late morning

[iamverybadass]

Who was the general? Is Mehniel completely alone now...?
