You only imprisoned him?

[lotsoflaughs]

A little hard for him and Michael to try to kill each other during the Apocalypse if he's already dead, no?

Anyway, I tried to kill him to short-circuit things. It didn't end well for me.

[humanentity]

Our brother killed you?

[lotsoflaughs]

Close to it. I swapped myself out at more or less the last second with a construct to die in my place so he'd think he took me out. Took a little while to recover from that.

[humanentity]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

[lotsoflaughs]

I made a fake that looked and acted just like me so he wouldn't know that he didn't actually kill me and come looking to finish the job. Better?

[humanentity]

Better. You truly are powerful, Gabriel.

[lotsoflaughs]

Yup. Lucifer's the one who taught me how to use my abilities way back when, although I've picked up a few things since then. Making my illusions better and so on.

For the most part.

[humanentity]

I cannot imagine it's something that you could teach?

[lotsoflaughs]

Considering that this is all news to you, no. They're powers Dad made us with that we had to learn how to use.

[humanentity]

Unfortunate, but not unexpected. I suppose we will fight our battles our way, and you yours.

[lotsoflaughs]

Yeah, looks like. Although hey. I tend to have more fun with mine than my brothers. Having a sense of humor helps.

[humanentity]

I have a sense of humor, perhaps that will be my saving grace.

[lotsoflaughs]

Lucifer used to have one, but. You know. Millennia of prison and Michael turning on him kind of put a dent in it.

Anyway. From some questions you had earlier, I take it that your wings are physically there?

[humanentity]

They're a part of me, yes. I can conceal them at will, within my body, but they are present, and physical.
It's the greatest torture for an angel to have his wings pinned, or otherwise restrained.

[lotsoflaughs]

I can imagine. Never mind the pain factor, it takes away a method of escape or enjoyment.

[humanentity]

You must feel limited in comparison, trapped in your human form.

[lotsoflaughs]

I do miss proper flying, yeah. While useful for getting around really quickly, the teleporting around version doesn't cut it for the whole having fun factor I'm missing out on.

[humanentity]

It wouldn't. There's something to having the feeling of the air beneath your wings, whispering through your feathers. It's glorious.

[lotsoflaughs]

You're not helping, you know.

[humanentity]

Who says I was trying to help?
Besides, you can just create an illusion of wings and flap around on them, can't you?

[lotsoflaughs]

Illusions and constructs are different. One's solid, one isn't.

[humanentity]

It's nice to see that my humor doesn't carry across universes.

[lotsoflaughs]

Remember when I said I spent the last two thousand years pretending *not* to be an angel? Don't you think that might let the cat out of the bag a little early?

[humanentity]

It might. And if you're hiding from the world now, no less than that. But I wonder, if your brothers are gone, why you are still hiding.
