Re: In Nomine: the Pacific War (IC)
A distant smile crosses Kane's (now Eumolpius's) face as he remembers the last time he came here, long, long ago, in the company of an Amerindian guide from the Happy Hunting Grounds. Bagged a few demons together, the two of us, he muses. OK, he was a damned Ethereal, but at least he was on our side. Wonder whatever happened to him?
With a slight effort, Eumolpius brings himself back to reality. His lean frame now has a cast of shadow to it, a shade only emphasized by the black wings billowing behind him. "I'm guessin' either Miss Dignity or Shimpu here (he nods at Corat) gets to be our guide for a bit," he says. "And that all of us need to watch our steps. There's rattlers out there." He gives an amused glance to Mitchim. "No offense."

But there is motion there. It seems the Loas are in ethereal favor again, entertaining guests in their grassy palaces. As Corat and Dignity lead you towards them you pass the bubbles of dreamers. One near you begins to turn red and black and starts to drift quickly towards the Nightmare side of the vale, jostling others roughly as it passes. Atop Gabriel's volcano you hear a voice quite clearly. "Then bring him here!" If you look up you'll see a pair of Malakim having a heated argument. One of those has charcoal-grey wings and is dressed in a Napoleonic white military uniform, the one who apparently made the outburst. Dignity (the ewe) seems to recognize his voice, and looks up to him in surprise and sympathy. He is arguing with a fellow with inky black wings, slightly larger and wearing the look of an Arab nobleman of the same era. In reply he simply beats his wings against the ground. The two stare at each other until they realize they have an audience. Then they back off slightly, put their wings in a less aggressive posture, and resume a quiet argument.

Sunae looks up momentarily but quickly loses interest the moment she sees that neither of them Serve her Lady. She looks away from the spectacle with a little impatience

"Unfortunately that's not a simple answer." She draws her eye away from the two Malakim, still in their heated argument, to the dream-bubble. "If he's alone in there it's often best to let him learn from the dream, no matter the nightmare." She walks up to the bubble, temporarily putting herself between the bubble and its drift towards the Tower. "If something is inside there..." The face again looks out its window and decides differently this time. After a violent struggle inside the bubble it exits below, as though flushed out. The bubble stops its drift and allows itself to be nudged back towards the kinder side of the Vale. Back where Mitchem was originally standing (back where I'm assuming at least someone else still is), another bubble turns reddish and suffers a brief struggle from inside. It settles, but then another further away is invaded and begins its drift towards Nightmares. The Malakite with the inky wings raises his voice. "How can you stand here, here surrounded by holy fire, and do nothing?" The answer comes in a calm and dignified voice, refusing this time to be provoked.

Re: In Nomine: the Pacific War (IC)
Back in the theater in San Francisco the house has begun playing "Battleship Potemkin", a nice very long movie with just classical music. For the homeless folk who use the place for a safe nap, it couldn't be better. For the cinema buffs, it's a slightly overworn classic.
For the angel watching over it all, it's mere background noise. She divides her attention a little more evenly and stares at Glen and his still-squirming pile of demons. "No smart remarks? No ordering around? You aren't even curious what's going on in the collective dream?" And then, in what to her is a slow and plodding pace but to Glen might just be someone talking a bit fast, Dignity recaps everything that has happened in the other world so far, including some commentary about what a terrible provocation it must have taken to get Hamael ("whose Word is Dignity, as opposed to my name, but then you barely understand the concept of Word do you?") to raise his voice that high. It's clear she has a bit of a crush. Quote:
