Welcome to Medietas! Have an interest in joining the game? Maybe you have an old muse that you want to dust off? Or, maybe you're just looking for a place to voice test a brand new character and would like to do so in our little island setting among friends? Well, whatever the reason, this is where you can do that!

You all know what to do but if you don’t, just follow the instructions and HAVE FUN!

How To Play:

→ Comment with the character you’d like to test drive. Don’t forget to add their name and canon in the subject line.
→ Choose a scenario, or start your own!
→ Tag around!

Possible Scenarios:

1. New Arrival: You've just arrived on the island of Medietas, in the city of Aerilon, via a floating boat with people you may or may not know. Of course, you can't help wondering what the heck is going on, or how you even got on the boat in the first place. But as soon as the vessel docks you are greeted by some lovely locals who offer you a map and a communications device before leaving you to your own. You probably have questions and there seems to be a number of people there already who may or may not have those answers. Talk to them! Or, get on the network and introduce yourself!

2. Getting Settled: So, now that you've arrived and wandered around the starter home you've been given, it's time to check out the rest of the islands. There's a market on Aerilon that is full of treasures. Or, you can check out Chapter Six bookstore. Perhaps you wander over to the Mean Princess facility on Mulciber. There is so much to see!

3. Event: Teams are being put together to venture out deep into the islands of Eurus and Mulciber to track and destroy a vicious beast who has been the reason for the disappearances of several island locals. Please help stop the creature before anyone else goes missing!

4. Wild Card: Got something else in mind and want to create your own scenario? Go for it!

Izzy blinked once, twice, and three times was a charm at his answer. Hunter bar? Downworlders? Izzy had definitely heard right; he said that there was a hunter bar that was friendly to downworlders. The realization that she hadn't bothered to hide her runes hit her like a stack of bricks. The second realization that she had was that she'd been so focused on whether or not the people that she loved and cared about were here she hadn't thought about beyond that.

It really was a good thing that she had her bracelet on, just in case. However, it didn't seem like now was that time to her. Instead of getting itch to whip the whip out (pun intended) she found herself smirking. Distraction didn't help her very much. That was for sure. Of course Alec was here, though, she could always count on him. And of course he'd been looking for. The only thing that surprised Izzy was that she managed to find someone that had talked to her brother.

Alec wasn't known for how talkative he was, though, which Izzy couldn't help but be surprised by.

"First, thanks for the suggestion." Izzy replied, tilting her head slightly to study the man that she'd flagged down. "And second, I might be vaguely familiar with the guy. I'm Izzy, he's my brother." The shadowhunter looked him over for a moment, that smile still on her face, gauging things slowly. There was something...different that she couldn't quite put her finger on. So, obviously the answer was to just be friendly. That was the best go-to, right?

In Izzy's book....definitely. "And who, exactly, are you?" She posed the question, lightly, careful not to be rude. Izzy was definitely the best at interacting with people out of all of the Lightwoods in her humble opinion.

"Gabriel. Although what you really meant was what am I, wasn't it? There's a handful of angels around. I'm one of them." He'll just be giving her some time to process that. If she's anything like her brother, she'll probably need it. It's not like he isn't used to people needing a moment.

"Before it's your turn to have a version of 'but you look human!', that's because if I was running around in my own form, pretty much anyone who wasn't a fellow angel who got an eyeful would die. Not to mention I'd be way too big to interact with people." So there's that. The whole 'vessels' thing can wait for another time. Maybe when he has both Lightwoods in one spot so he doesn't need to repeat things.

"Anyway. He's mentioned you, although not by name. It was just to comment that the owner of the Roadhouse sounded like you, except blonde. Nothing major," he says with a shrug.

Well, Izzy decided very quickly that this guy was to the point. That was followed very quickly by her jaw dropping, literally. Isabelle Lightwood had never met an angel before. She'd never expected to meet an angel, let alone have one willing to talk to her like this. Surely this was some sort of joke? Then again, of all of the things to joke about this definitely wouldn't ever be the best choice. Her brain needed a moment to actually process the information that she'd just heard, and in an uncharacteristic moment Izzy actually found herself mimicking a fish. Open. Close. Open, nope she wasn't ready to talk yet.

Close.

"Gabriel...and angel in the same sentence, that means you're...." Izzy stopped herself before continuing, at more of a loss than she could even explain. Oh lord this was a new level of insanity, even for Izzy. After everything she'd been through recently with the trial and then Jace taking off....she was face to face with an angel. Maybe that was why she couldn't quite figure out what it was she was was sensing, she definitely couldn't put a finger on it. Part of that probably was due to the man-form that he'd adopted, but Izzy accepted the explanation immediately. The only question she had was why would he want to interact with people? That question was followed by an immediate decision not to let that particular series of words fall out of her mouth any time soon.

"Well...that makes sense." She offered, gingerly, making a point to look him over for a moment. "I'm sure we all appreciate the thoughtful gesture not to kill people." Izzy offered, trying to muster up the normal charming voice, but it didn't quite measure up. Shock was a funny thing like that.

She was doing her best to shake it off, though, giving a little toss that moved her curls.

"The fact that Alec Lightwood was talking to someone at a bar sounds pretty major to me." Izzy commented offhandedly, though there was a fond smile pulling at the corners of her mouth, thinking about her brother. "He was wrong, though. Nobody can compare to me." Total bluff. Izzy had a healthy confidence, but the joke came out easily enough, anyway. Did angels get offended by that sort of thing? God, she hoped she wasn't being offensive. "But I'm her, his sister....Izzy or Isabelle if you prefer."

Wow, Izzy didn't like the shocked and awkward version of herself; she made a mental note never to try that again, even when interacting with an angel.

"I do rather prefer to kill people on purpose instead of by accident myself," Gabriel says dryly. "Alec was trying to get his bearings; figure the place out. Heard it was a bar for hunters, so..."

Perfectly reasonable explanation for her brother to be there. Just running reconnaissance. Along with getting a drink with a side of having his mind blown by the fact an archangel was talking to him.

"He's explained some things about your universe, although at some point, we're going to need to have more in-depth talks to get more of the differences ironed out. What we talked about was basically the Cliff Notes. Your universe's angels being completely hands off while mine are only mostly so, why there's a shitload of nephilim in yours, and so on." Gabriel is fully aware that he likely just broke plenty of illusions of what angels were like, just by talking, given his awareness of strictly modern day human things that really aren't important in the grand scheme of things.

Izzy couldn't figure out whether she wanted to think about the angel Gabriel killing people (either on purpose or accident) or if she wanted to think about Alec in a bar. For the moment the second won out. Mainly because she couldn't even figure out how to wrap her mind around the angel at the moment. Alec, though, she knew better than the back of her hand. Reconnaissance, yes. People-watching, yes. Actively talking to people in a bar setting....not so much. That was a little harder for Izzy to actually imagine.

How long had her brother been here? Was he just that worried? Was he that desperate? Izzy wasn't sure yet, but it seemed rude to demand answers from an angel....especially considering the killing people on purpose comment. Besides, he might have thought she'd be there, from the sounds of it.

"I guess that makes sense. On both parts." Izzy tacks her second comment on, giving a little bit of a facial shrug. She shouldn't be concerned about him killing people, after all, he is in a human-like form. That means that he's not interested in killing at the moment. Plus, total honesty, Izzy's still shocked and doesn't have even the smallest clue of how to deal with an angel right now.

So, the nod she gave was forced...and mostly meant to acknowledge that she heard what he was saying about Alec filling him in. Izzy wasn't normally the star-struck type, but she was sure doing a good impression of it at the moment. "You're a lot different than what I'd pictured in my head, that's for sure." Izzy spoke before she could reign it in, giving a bit of a shrug to follow that comment up with. She hoped he didn't take offense to that, but he seemed so much less regal that she'd pictured in her head, she supposed. "I'm definitely with you on getting the differences ironed out, though." The shadowhunter agreed easily enough, reaching up to tuck her hair behind her ears.

She was really talking to an angel....this was real.

"Was he okay? My brother that is, is he okay?" Izzy asked, before she could help herself. "Since you've seen him, it can't hurt to ask, right?" She offered, a bit of a sheepish smile pulling at her lips, hoping that was okay. She couldn't quite fight the urge to ask, to be sure, even with the shock (and awe, maybe even a little bit of terror, and a few other emotions thrown in) of meeting an angel.

"I think the shock of meeting me has worn off by now," Gabriel says with barely disguised amusement. "He's fine. Disappointed about no one he knows from your universe was here, but fine. And you tracking him down should make him feel better so far as that goes."

Then he cocks his head. "I won't bite if you ask questions. I'm the guy Dad sent out to tell people things, remember? That means questions once they're done either internally or externally having hysterics over coming face to face with an archangel. Possibly both. Michael would be another matter, but he's not here. Thankfully."

"And to continue the trend of answering things in the wrong order--" He gives her an unrepentant grin. "--We tend to get some version of 'you're not what I expected' a lot. Some of my sibs run fairly close to expectations, sure, but not all of us. Not even close."

"And how long ago did he meet you, exactly?" Izzy posed the question, a bit of a grin pulling at her mouth at the thought of her brother and the angel. She definitely understood the feeling even under different circumstances. The amusement that the shadowhunter could see, so easily even, on the angel's face was definitely winning through some of the shock (and concern about what to say and do).

It didn't seem all that strange that Gabriel already had her figured out. He wasn't wrong. Izzy was going to track her brother down. That wasn't even a question in her mind now that she knew he was here. And it, honestly, made her feel better to know that she had someone to find too. "When you're right you're right. I'll be a nice surprise." Izzy shrugged before looking down at her heels. Of course the angel figured out she was censoring herself, of course.

"Well, that's good to know, even if it wasn't exactly biting I was worried about." There she was, the somewhat cheeky Isabelle. She even managed a grin after getting it out. Still, the shock that came with meeting an angel....well she deserved a bit of leeway considering this wasn't an everyday occurrence for her. Her grin grew a bit, though, unable to help it. He really wasn't what she had expected, but the reality was never quite like what popped up in a person's imagination. "I'll definitely keep that in mind for any other angels I meet."

Since questions were okay...Izzy figured she might as well throw some out. "How long have you been here, exactly? I mean, I definitely wasn't expecting to run into someone like you here."

"What were you worried about?" Gabriel asks with a smirk before thinking about when he met Alec. "Huh. Met him longer ago than I thought. Slightly over a month ago. I tend to lose track of time every now and then. Comes with the lifespan. Anyway, I've been here for a tad over five months. A few of my younger siblings have shown up over staggered intervals."

Given that they're even ones he actually likes, he appreciates having them around. He's missed his siblings. It had been entirely too long since he'd seen any of them. Now he has access to three of them.

"Oh, I don't know...maybe use your imagination, considering you're a powerful angel and I am not." Izzy offered said powerful angel, taking one of her smiles on once she'd said it. She had no idea how to act around Gabriel. Was she supposed to treat him like anybody else? Was she supposed to treat him in the venerated and highly respectful way because of what he was and what he was, of course, capable of? Izzy didn't have a damn clue. She was trying, though. She figured if she followed his lead to the best of her abilities, then....well, he'd have nobody to blame but himself for the answers that he was getting and everything....

Right?

"A month?" Izzy's brow furrowed in thought. Her brother hadn't been missing at any point. She would've known. How had he been here for a month. Had he really been here without the rest of them for that long? The shadow hunter couldn't help the frown that pulled at her features. "I wasn't expecting you to say that long." Izzy admitted, not ashamed, after all, he'd probably already figured that out by her initial reaction.

Now, she couldn't help but be worried about her brother.

"Which siblings?" Izzy posed the question as mildly as she could, but....well it was sort of a necessary question in this particular situation. The other angels that were here mattered. Especially if they weren't all as...helpful and interesting as Gabriel was so far.

"Huh." Gabriel mulls that over for a moment. "There may be some oddness with time passing. Or different timelines. Someone here from home, isn't from my version, but another. It could be something like that. Something for you and Alec to work out when you can compare notes."

Because really. He has no way of knowing for certain what was going on.

"Anyway, those of my siblings who have shown up so far are Balthazar, Castiel, and Anna. Arriving in that order. They tend to show up at the Roadhouse from time to time. Especially Balthazar. The only one of us who shows up there more often is me." Gabriel and Balthazar like their alcohol. And in Gabriel's case, to flirt with the owner of the bar. Among other things.

Oddness? Izzy decided, almost immediately, that was putting it lightly. She'd have known in her brother were gone for a month. Izzy'd know if her brother were gone for a day, she was pretty sure. So, obviously there was something strange going on here; the big question was what, and why. Was it related to the magic here? Was it something else? How did it work? Izzy had more questions than she was actually going to throw at Gabriel, considering he likely didn't have any more of the answers than she did.

"Wait...different versions of your home? As in alternate realities, different dimensions?" Izzy managed to latch onto that distinct, and horrible possibility. She didn't know everything there was to know about that sort of thing, but she knew enough, she figured. Meliorn had let Clary through a portal that had taken her into an alternate reality in order to help her get to Valentine. Of course, the details of what had happened hadn't gotten to Izzy until afterward, but that was where her mind went...immediately. Portals were definitely something that didn't need tampered with, especially to the inverse world that she'd heard about. So, Izzy couldn't help the thoughtful look on her face. The alternate version of her brother, from what she gathered, didn't have his shadowhunter abilities and that was what comforted Izzy. She didn't know everything, but that seemed enough to her. "What you've said about my brother, for the most part, sounds like him."

He'd gone to a hunter bar, so he had to be her Alec; the alternate wouldn't have known about anything.

Each and every name that Gabriel ticked off was at least somewhat familiar to Izzy. And she still couldn't quite believe that there were angels here. Angels that interacted with nephilim. That just seemed crazy to her, even now...in the midst of conversation with one of them. "So, Alec either has or will run into them too, and me." Izzy added herself as an afterthought, shaking her head slightly. "Angels in a bar....that's something I never thought I'd see, no offense."

Gabriel tilts his head slightly. "Alternate reality is probably a good way to put it. Something happened differently there. So far as we can tell, things are otherwise mostly the same. You know, someone taking a metaphorical left instead of going right."

So the broad strokes are the same, it's just some of the details that are different.

"I told him that bar was the best place to look for them, if he wanted to meet them. That goes for you, too. Most angels wouldn't be caught dead in one, but obviously, we aren't most angels. I've spent a couple thousand years running around on Earth and the others here have also found they enjoy life down here more than Upstairs as well." Not that Medietas was on any version of Earth so far as Gabriel was aware. But he's sure she'll get what he means.

Butterfly effect. Izzy can't help the thought that entered her mind now, at what Gabriel is saying. She's seen the movie. She's read a little bit about it in the past. Simon hadn't mentioned it yet, but it seemed like something that might be up his alley. Izzy'd only heard of one other world, reality, though. So, it definitely had the nephilim standing there in thought for a moment before she nodded. "I mean, it was never impossible, but...I never thought about it much either." She admitted.

God, she hoped that wasn't the situation with Alec.

She didn't know what she'd do if her brother were different in any way. That was a lie. She knew what she'd do. She'd treat him exactly the same because he was still Alec. Izzy couldn't think of anything that could be different about him that she wouldn't treat him the exact same. Technically speaking, she was sure that in all realities that he'd be her brother. The only way that he wasn't was if there were realities where one of them hadn't been born, or things with Maryse and Robert got even further complicated and Izzy didn't want to go down that rabbit hole.

Izzy needed to stop worrying about Alec; things would be fine.

"Which way is the bar, anyway?" Izzy asked, gesturing around her. When she did go out in search of Alec having a direction would definitely help. And...she couldn't say she wasn't curious about the other angels either, honestly. "I think that makes us lucky, then, that you and your siblings that are here are the ones that prefer to be down among people." If they didn't want to be here...well, Izzy didn't want to think about that.

"Mundus is the northernmost island. We're currently on the middle one. It's the place with the really blue door and shutters. My work. The color, anyway. You'll know it's the place when you walk in and see the sign that basically tells people to behave and not bother the customers that aren't human." Said sign specifically says 'Anyone harassing the non-human customers will be dropped in the lake by the archangel'. He's entirely serious about the threat.

"Yeah, you... probably wouldn't want to meet most of our siblings. They, uh, kind of frown on nephilim." To put it mildly.

The island name sounded familiar, probably from the studying that Izzy'd done of the map. That didn't mean she had every detail memorized, though, not by any means. The shadowhunter nodded, though, taking in the details that Gabriel shared with her. Of course, the really blue door and shudders bit stood out in what he shared because it was a particular detail. "I take it you're a fan of the color blue, then." Izzy laughed, lightly as she bobbed her head in a nod. She now had a little bit of direction to go with a common place that she could find her brother.

Stopping someone had definitely paid off thus far. Izzy had quite a bit more information than she had wandered out of her starter phone with.

"With that description I'm pretty sure that I couldn't miss it." Izzy shared, truthfully. It was vivid enough that the details would stand out until she managed to actually match the building. The only problem with having the details now was that she wanted to find Alec. He'd waited a month, though, and he had no idea she was here. So, he could wait longer; it was Izzy that had to fight for patience at the moment, though.

"Now that doesn't surprise me." And it didn't. Gabriel, himself, was much more of a surprise. He was almost a direct contradiction from what someone might expect of an angel...in every sense. "I'm just going to be grateful that you're not the nephilim-hating sibling, especially since you're the first person that I've approached."

Izzy had more questions than she could get out in a first meeting. And some of them depended upon seeing Alec, at the same time, so she offered Gabriel a smile. "I've probably taken up too much of your time already, but thank you."

"Hey, it's colorful and serves as a good reference point for someone who needs to find it in a hurry," Gabriel says with a shrug. Of course, it is a rather nice shade of blue.

"On the bright side, those of my siblings who are here aren't offended by your existence either," Gabriel offers. "In our universe, nephilim are the results of angels getting a bit... friendlier with humans than certain older brothers of mine would prefer, rather than as a line of defense against demons and anything else causing problems."

In other words, they weren't supposed to exist. "I've told Alec that I'll warn him if any angels who wouldn't react well to you guys show up. Anyway, stopping by wasn't a problem. I actually came looking for you when I sensed you were here."

He gives her a wry smile. "You're kind of a glowing sign to those who know what to look for."

"Oh, you're not getting any arguments from me on that point." Izzy grinned, unable to help herself. Blue just wasn't her color, personally. And before she could stop herself that, basically, anyway...came tumbling out of her mouth while she reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear, her bracelet shifting slightly on her wrist. "I'm a little more partial to red, personally, but blue works, I'm sure." It probably hadn't even needed said, minus the probably part.

After all, Izzy's lipstick (as always) was red and made that plenty obvious enough.

"Sounds like all of the angels here are the modern thinkers." Izzy commented, maybe a little amused. Modern thinking and angels seemed to be total opposites of each other, bu she was definitely looking at what appeared to be an angel doing exactly that. She didn't expect his explanation of nephilim though and didn't quite hold back the snort before it came back. "It sounds like your universe is a lot different. I can't imagine that happening in mine."

She didn't know what she made of the differences, but she filed the information back, just in case she needed it later. She really hoped that she wouldn't need that warning, truth be told. This place was an unknown for Izzy and she needed time to settle in, but even after she didn't look forward to the possibility of coming face to face with an angel who wouldn't react quite as well at her mere presence. "Lets hope that none of them show up, no offense."

Izzy grinned and couldn't help herself as she crossed her arms, considering what Gabriel was telling her. Glowing sign? Well, she'd been called worse, she was sure, and she always stood out in her preferred wardrobe. "I've always had a tendency to stand out." She joked, despite knowing that it was serious; that was just the way she dealt with things. If an angel that didn't like nephilim showed up...she'd have to deal with that, but for now...luck was on her side and Izzy'd take that. "Guess it's not just from my amazing sense of style."

"Enh. More like all the ones here are the ones who left Heaven for whatever reason we've all had," Gabriel says with a shrug, as he shoves his hands into his pockets as something to do with them. "We've all had different reasons. I don't feel like getting into them right now."

Considering he's told Alec, she can bug her brother for it.

"Oh, while I'm thinking about it, there's a nephilim from a different universe than either of ours running around. Watching him and Alec go around in circles, not quite figuring things out was fairly entertaining before I took pity and clued them both in." That was a popcorn worthy show he was treated to. Pity Jo wouldn't have let him produce some for himself.

Izzy could definitely be described by the word meddlesome at times, but the thing was that that applied to her brothers, mainly. So, she wasn't going to pry information from the angel if he didn't want to share it. She accepted his decision that he didn't feel like getting into the subject now. She didn't know him well enough to really pester for more information. Plus, the fact that Alce was here (and that she needed to find him because of that) was still at the top of Izzy's priority list.

So, she couldn't exactly be too bothered by Gabriel not expanding on something that seemed like it was a personal subject.

Izzy's eyebrow shot up, slightly interested in the knowledge that there was a nephilim from another universe here. What were the differences, Iz couldn't help but wonder. "That's...interesting." Izzy commented lightly. "So, grand total, there are three of us now. Two from, presumably, the same universe...not accounting for variations, but the third from a whole different universe right out of the gate. Nice and complicated, just the way I hate things." Izzy's voice was light and she even gave a little bit of a shrug with it, but she wasn't speaking lies, not at all.

Complicated things could get annoying, particularly when it came to time, magic, and this kind of thing. The girl could already feel the headache developing from all of this. "Do I even want to ask if there's anything else that I should know before I go and find my brother?"

"C-H-R-I-S can go popping about just as easily as full angels. Saying his name also pings him, resulting in him tending to show up to see if he's needed." Hence spelling out the guy's name. Gabriel doesn't want to need to tell him to go away. "His angels are... a lot more involved than my siblings and your angels. I think he's had time to get used to the fact not all universe's angels are hands-on, so he shouldn't be having a tantrum in your direction about it."

Gabriel gives her a wintery smile. "He's lucky none of my big brothers are around for him to pull that shit with instead of me. We've since hashed things out so he won't stick his foot in it again."

Izzy tilted her head at the explanation of the other person in the whole angel mix. It was probably immature, but Izzy could already feel herself fighting the urge to actually try calling out to Chris, just to see if he actually popped up like Gabriel said. Izzy had definitely never heard of anything quite like it. Warlocks could travel via portals and everything, but hearing their name and then bang, not so much. "Well, that's definitely new." Izzy lifted her head, a bit of a grin in place.

She was resisting her urge, just barely, but she was resisting.

"Though, I will say, spelling out a certain someone's name does take a little longer than just saying it." Izzy spoke, amusement coloring her tone. If someone who was Chris' version of angel had to pop in any time they heard their name...she could definitely understand how they'd wound up much more hands on. Izzy nodded a little bit, not particularly concerned about tantrums. She'd have been able to handle it even if this stranger she didn't know had a tantrum at her. "Seems like it'd be hard not to wind up hands on if you hear your name pings you, but good to know all the same."

Izzy studied Gabriel a moment, getting the feeling that as personable, and as willing to interact as he was...that he could also be mercurial at times, if what he was saying was anything to go from. The shadowhunter nodded, to show that she'd heard Gabriel. "Hashing things out is always for the best, especially since it seems like we're all sort of lumped together by virtue of what we are."

Plus, Izzy had a feeling that being completely at odds with someone like Gabriel wouldn't go well.

"Welcome to a place with people from multiple universes," Gabriel says dryly, smile becoming decidedly less chilly. "Different rules for different versions. I once referred to him as 'He Who Shall Not Be Named Lest He Pop Out Of Nowhere'. You're not someone he knows, so he... probably won't show up if you use his name."

It's true that while he's the most easy-going of the archangels, he can fairly rapidly snap into a rage if someone was fool enough to press his buttons. Even then, he's more likely to give someone a chance to decide it's not a good day to die than his brothers would. Granted, usually not that much of a chance.

"Where things are more complicated and twice the trouble." Izzy added on, a bright smile pulling at her mouth. It didn't quite match Gabriel's dry tone, but it still finished the words that he threw out, nonetheless. She could feel the difference in his tone now. She definitely wasn't going to forget the cold edge that crept up when it came to Chris, though.

Interpersonal realationships and emotions...well they were Izzy's thing...most of the time. As was meddling. Even if she didn't admit that out loud all that often. She'd decided that was the case, at least, from what she gathered on Gabriel's side of things. She didn't have a clue if Chris felt the same, but there was something there to note and not forget for the duration that she was stuck here, at least.

Letting out a laugh Izzy shrugged. "Maybe that's my excuse if I decide to test out pinging him, then." A joke, yes. Still, she'd be lying if she said she weren't curious. Izzy was just about always curious, though. "I'm resisting for the moment, though, obviously. I've got a brother to find, after all." Izzy smiled, finding the friendly nature with ease.

"I should probably let you go so I can go do that. He'll be making grumpy cat faces if he finds out I was here for very long and didn't go and find him. Well, I'm guessing, anyway." Izzy figured that she was guessing right, anyway. And even if she were wrong, she seldom admitted it.

Gabriel and Chris actually got along fine the first time they met. Chris has only himself to blame for things going sour.

"Feel free to let him go nuts trying to figure out who told you. There's a few of us who know how to get his attention," Gabriel says with a grin.

"Anyway, see ya. Probably at whatever point you decide to check out the Roadhouse. I'm fairly often there," he says before disappearing with a quiet whisper of wings.
