[ Mmnn, Ange has been listening over the journals for the past day or so, hearing everyone talk about how there's apparently more people in Luceti now. She doesn't believe it could be more New Feathers, but she can't think of any other explanation, either (and while Luceti does have a usual schedule of its own, there is always the possibility of it screwing up that schedule).

And today, she'll be outside, looking around at all the new people, mostly only to see if she can spot any familiar faces, or maybe even anyone who needs assistance. She'll be running up to anyone who needs help immediately upon seeing them.

However, due to it being a difficult thing to keep up for too long (and her having absolutely terrible stamina—), she'll be making her way to a bench to relax eventually. ]

[Well, hope Ange doesn't mind an elderly butler come by while she's resting on a bench]

Pardon me, but is it all right if I take a seat here with you? [Someone is pretty beat himself. All this energy in this village is tiresome.]

[ Oh!! Of course she doesn't mind — company is always appreciated.

And she looks up at him, smiles a pleasant, inviting smile. ]

Yes, of course. [ A pause. ] Have you recently arrived here?

Much appreciated, thank you. [And he'll go ahead and take up the empty spot on the bench.]

Mm, you could say that I have. Arrive where exactly though?

[ Oh, apparently he hasn't had it explained to him yet by anyone else around here. ]

This is a village called Luceti. It would seem that many people are being brought here at once, at the moment.

Luceti, you say... [He says, pondering to himself as he stroked his beard. He's never heard of a village like that.]

And who exactly has brought all of us here? And for what reason?

The people who are in charge of this village are named the Malnosso. [ A hesitant pause. ] And, from my understanding, we are brought here to be experimented on. But, please, do not worry — it is not ... quite as bad as it sounds.

[ She isn't font of the experiments in any capacity but at least they aren't always brutal. ]

Oh dear...[Hearing the word experiment hits too close to home.]

Still, hearing that doesn't fill me with much relief. Ah, where are my manners? I should have introduced myself first. My name is Rowen. [A slight head bow from him]

Oh my, I apologize for having made it worse for you ...

[ Sob she feels bad now jhk;sdgjkh.

But she will introduce herself as well! ]

And I am Ange Serena. It is a pleasure to meet you, Rowen.

[Even if Orifiel's been reincarnated into a human instead of a god - even if he looks nothing like he used to - something rings loud and strong in Himmel and guides him towards Ange. She really doesn't look like him (she's too short, too wide, although her beauty is on par with his handsomeness) and he takes a seat beside her on the bench. He might be kicking his feet a little, because while he isn't nervous (he'd never be nervous, not around Orifiel) it's still a little strange to feel his teacher's presence from such a lovely young woman.

He'll speak first, though.]

It's a lovely day, isn't it, Orifiel?

[He's sure that's not her name, but it's the only one he can grasp onto right now.]

[ Ange happens to be looking down at her lap when the young boy sits next to her, so she doesn't quite notice him right away. She's exhausted from all of that moving around and helping, but she does take notice of the fact that someone has just sit down next to her.

But then — that name, and that voice. And for a moment she has to pause everything, inhale sharply. There aren't many people here who know who she was in her past life (only her friends from Naraka), and none of them ever refer to her by that name. But of course that isn't the voice of any of her friends from Naraka, either. This is the voice of someone else (someone who's voice she'd recognize anywhere).

Himmel.

And this is one of those things that'll throw her off completely, despite how composed she usually is. It feels like everything in her body just stopped working — everything came to a screeching halt.

She doesn't look up yet, but her gaze shifts to his lap — and there's no doubt in her mind that it's Himmel, at that point. She can't contain herself the moment she sees him, and she shifts her gaze up to his face immediately.

Soft and quiet and it sounds as though it's hard for her to even speak right now. (And maybe it's obvious that she feels as though her heart just stopped.) ]

H-Himmel ...

[ But that's all she can bring herself to say or do because what does she even say to him — the one person that's affected her life so greatly and the one person she's always wished to speak to for so many reasons, and — and she's met with Albert and spoken to him but this is different because it's Himmel. And she can't tell if he knows what happens to him and why it happens but she won't say it, not yet. She doesn't know how to. ]

[He glances at her out of the corner of his eye and smiles wider, genuinely happy.]

It's been such a long time since we last spoke, hasn't it? I suppose you're busy with the war... or you were, since you're not yourself right now.

[Himmel hopes she doesn't take offense to that; he'd be sorry if she did, but he can't think of any way to begin or to speak unless he addresses her as such. He watches the rest of the village bustle with newcomers, very quiet, before folding his hands on his lap and letting the smile drop a little.]

What happened, Orifiel?

[Because Devas don't get reborn into humans because of some fluke, some mistake - something had to have happened for it to occur. Something to Devaloka.]

[ Mnn, she's not sure whether she should correct him or not, with her name — she isn't Orifiel anymore, she's Ange, but she doesn't want to stop him from calling her that if it's what he prefers. But she decides to mention it before addressing anything else he's said, seeing as he should probably know and has every right to know.

(And it takes her a moment to get words out, still in shock and still not sure if her hearts even beating right now.) ]

... I am known as Ange now, Himmel. Ange Serena. However you are free to call me Orifiel, if that is what you prefer. [ The last thing she wants is for him to feel distanced from her by not being able to call her Orifiel.

And she pauses, hesitates, for a moment before replying to his question. ]

... Are you perhaps referring to why I am a human now?

[ She is very, very unsure about answering that, and maybe the way she hesitated gives that away. ]

[Nufufu.]

Hey, you look pretty tired Ange, you should stop and have some bread you know.

[Coda has bread. He's currently eating it. It's free here!]

[ ... Hi, Coda. Ange is always up for food, but the fact that another of her companions (one that she especially doesn't believe should be left alone) is here is more important for the time being. ]

... Coda? Goodness, you have arrived here, as well?

Here? [He's somewhere else? Didn't even notice. They've visited lots of places and who really takes in the scenery when there's food to be had?

Speaking of which, holding up a small loaf of bread to Ange.]

Eat it or Coda will do it for you.

[ ... So okay apparently the only thing on his mind is the bread. So she'll kindly accept it from him, holding it in her hands and smiling. It's no use to try and talk about Luceti to him, she supposes ... ]

Thank you, Coda. That is very kind of you.

It really is, make sure you enjoy every bite. Food is good, so don't go wasting it by talking.

[And now? They eat. Munch munch munch~]

[ ... Well. Okay then. She'll just ... do that.

And she takes a bite out of her delicious bread. It's kind of adorable that Coda's eating with her, though ... ]

[Already finished. Time for another loaf. Still hungry.]

...

[DISASTER HE ONLY HAD TWO. There must be some here though. Or. Around.

SOME FELL ON THE FLOOR oh he must eat it delicious bread and bacteria yummy dfjglskf--]

[ Ajk;sgkjh CODA ... ]

C-Coda, please do not eat things you find on the ground! If you would like more bread, then I would be more than happy to share with you!

That's okay, Coda knows not to waste food like this, so he'll eat even the stuff on the floor.

[There's hair and dirt all over this bread now. It probably adds flavour or something.

Munch munch munch-- Yeah it tastes bad... Munch.]

[Here's Ricardo, looking even more uncomfortable than usual. He has no idea where he is or what is with all these people with wings, of all things. On top of that he seems to have lost not only his current employer but all of their other traveling companions. What if Belforma tried to do something innapropriate to Serena while they were apart??? What if Milda got himself stabbed again? Why did it even matter to him? He was going soft and it was all the fault of these children.

Oh but is that who he thinks it is? That would remove one crease from his brow.]

Serena?

[ OH MAN RICARDO HAS nnoooo idea — ]

[WHAT DID YOU DO TO ANGE]

[ Oh, Ricardo!! Ange notices him immediately from his voice, and she looks a little shocked before smiling her usual, welcoming smile. She's happy to see him here (their little family can finally be complete!!).

So she stands up from her bench and makes her way over to him. ]

Ricardo! I am happy to see you here!

[Ricardo would smile back if he was given to that sort of thing. Not that he was that happy to see her beyond the extent of her being his employer, and you'd be silly to assert otherwise... God!!!]

Likewise, I am glade you are unharmed, Serena.

[ Ricardo is just a huge tsuuuuun, okay. ]

Yes, I am quite alright, thank you. However it has been quite odd not having you here with me.

[I haven't the fainest idea what you're talking about!!]

You say that as if you have been here quite some time.

I have only been here for around a month this time, however I have been in this place before for quite a while.

...

If what you say is true, time must pass differently in this village.
[Ricardo seems to consider this for a moment, brows furrowed. It is at this point he notices the wings on Ange's back.]

Serena. What is that on your back?

Ange! QQ was looking found you! Where did you go, QQ worried!

[Don't look now Ange, but there's someone's arms wrapped around you as you take a seat on that bench.]

[ Who ... is this ... and why does she know Ange's name ... (And why are her arms around her j;sdjkh) ]

... E-Excuse me, I deeply apologize, but ... who are you?

Eh? You no remember? Is QQ, this is QQ! And you Ange, QQ and Ange are friends.

[Don't talk like that baby. Here, let her hug you a little tighter.] No sorry, QQ okay.

[ ... Wwwwwwhat.

Ange is so confused right now — she doesn't know a QQ, sorry. So she's got no idea what's going on right now. Did the Malnosso do something to this girl? (And why does she speak like she's got no idea how to speak—) ]

... QQ? I apologize, but I am not acquainted with a QQ. Are you alright, miss?

No? You know friends with QQ? Oh, no, you friends with QQ, really, no lie.

[Sob. Maybe she'll... Slowly... Let go or something...] QQ feels bad, Ange no friends with QQ, what does QQ do?

[ Ajh;sdjgkh now Ange feels bad — she didn't mean to upset the girl! ]

G-Goodness, please do not get so upset ... Perhaps the Malnosso have given you false memories of me ...

They not false! QQ, really friends!! Can't be false, QQ, made lots of friends. You know Luca, Ange? QQ and Luca are friends too. QQ is friends with everyone.

[What the heck is that anyway.] Who Malnosso? Bad? Good?

(Oh hey, have an ominous cloud of black smoke.)

Guh-hahahahahaha! What fool unbound the forbidden seal and unleashed me upon this world?! Was it... you?

[ ajhk;sdgjh WHAT — ]

G-Goodness, what are you talking about?

[ ANGE DID NO SUCH THING ... ]

[Sup, Ange.

There's a statue across the plaza from your bench.]

[ ...

She doesn't ... remember that statue being there ...

And so she will look at it funny, trying to remember whether it really was there before ... ]

[Prooobably not. But then maybe it's just been put there by a passing resident.]
