[OPEN] knockin' on heaven's door

[peripheries]

WHO: Kaworu Nagisa and fellow members of Brimston.
WHAT: Being a nosy little brat
WHERE: Brimstone Dorm
WHEN: Soon after arrival
WARNINGS: Nothing now. Will warn if anything comes up.



[Hello, fellow member of Brimstone.

A day or after you arrive, someone will come knock on your door.

Well, technically, first he grabs the handle and tries to open the door. There's a pause and then the knock. It's not a soft, inquiring knock, it's an energetic knock that goes on much longer than really necessary, like it's done by someone who doesn't understand a knock is a request and not a summons.

If you answer the knock, or come across him knock on yours/a day, he'll drop his hand and look at you with an amused curiosity.]

So. Who are you then?

[Yup, that's it. That's the important question at the center of all this knocking.]

((OOC: Feel free to use this post for anything Brimstone related. I am just very busy this weekend and wanted to toss something up in case I miss the text mingle.

Freel free to hit me up at PM, worldtype/worldtype at Discord for anything!))

[Thank Goodness that you are familiar with the language of tsundere, Kaworu. Even if Manjoume ends up predictably frowning a little in slight embarrassment.]

That's not--ugh, never mind. This is fine, I guess.

[Anyway...]

So, Nagisa-san then... what kind of skills do you have? Or, I guess what I'm asking is why do you think you were brought here along with the rest of us?

[Friendship or otherwise, it would probably be beneficial to know what his teammates are capable of in terms of combat or even just in general, if they're meant to be working together somehow on this particular team...]

[peripheries]

Hmm. Perhaps because I was raised to pilot giant robots and fight aliens from birth.

Or maybe it's because I'm an angel.

[His voice lilts as if to add "who can say?" at the end. Because he doesn't know LILITH but he's quite certain it's much like SEELE and they have reasons and plans and all of the recruits will be left in the dark.

[thundercrashes]

What?

[Okay, that sure was not what Manjoume was expecting to hear coming out of the other boy's mouth. He gives Kaworu a very obvious once-over here, clearly trying to look for something off about his appearance, before he speaks.]

You don't look like an angel to me. I mean, aren't angels supposed to have wings and halos, or other stuff like that?

[peripheries]

Perhaps that's how humans conceive of them. But even then, it wasn't always humans thought of angels.

[He extends his arms a little, palms forward, as if presenting himself.]

Angels were messengers from the divine. Gruesome creatures that burned your eyes when you gazed upon them. And so, believing my people to be the messengers of humanity's end, they deemed us "angels".

[thundercrashes]

Uh-huh...

[Manjoume raises an eyebrow, but otherwise shrugs.]

Well, angel or whatever, it doesn't particularly matter here, does it? Unless you're actually planning to end humanity, then it would definitely be a problem since we're supposed to be working together in this place to, you know, not do that.
