[He wrinkles his nose at the mention of his brother, and of the 'revival' team.]

Probably eat 'em. That's what demons usually do. Even just a feather is like candy to 'em. Surprised they've held off as long as they have, 'specially since I got no powers and no backup.

Not that I would have any anyway. [He sighs, annoyed.]

Sounds to me like you got a group of shitty people then. If they're capable of reviving and would deny that to a whole unit just 'cuz of a fixable problem.

Whatever. I know I gotta live with you guys whether I like it or not, and I don't, so I'm gonna play """nice""". I am still gonna fucking kill the shit out of him as soon as he remembers who the fuck I am, but I'm not fighting him if he's a stranger.

[ Talon's turn to look disgusted at the idea of eating angels ]

The demons in your world are much more straight forward... It would likely be experiments in this one. And torture.

And I do not disagree that Pep's actions in the past were reprehensible. They no longer make such threats, but I don't know if they would continue to show such restraint if someone attacks one of their own. I cannot recall anyone attacking them before...

[ He frowns, clearly displeased about the ongoing murder goals ]

... Why do you want to kill him anyway?

What can I say, they're demons. [He shrugs. He's used to that. Angels............ also eat angels. Sometimes. Not when they're healthy, but they do it.]

...... You know what Lucifer is. Thousands of years ago, he decided to start a rebellion against God. But that wasn't just... it was war. The very first war. That war never ended. Endless angels, killed over thousands of years.

There was a prophecy it would happen to one of us. Me or him, and everyone loved him, so they were sure it was going to be me.

[It's a lot. There's a lot to it, and Michael isn't someone good at explaining.]

That...is even more complicated than the story I know. And unfair. Who in the Hell makes a prophecy like that and just gives up? Even if they believed it, none of them tried to fight it? Tried to be kind to you too?

Angels stop growing when their power reaches their peak.

[He frowns. Look at him. He's just as old as Lucifer, but this is his body. Michael motions to himself.]

I dunno why he did it. I just know that I can't forgive him for it.

... Why didn't you go with him? A world that will condemn a child for some ridiculous prophecy—

That is not a good world.

Our world is shitty, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna try to kill my brothers and sisters over it. I'm not gonna start a war over it.

And it isn't like he ever paid any attention to me anyway.

[ Opens his mouth

closes it

his breath is getting pretty smoky ]

Why would even he ignore you? Did he believe it too?

Well yeah he believed it but he just ignored me because he's an asshole. He's always been an asshole and no one noticed it.

If they loved an asshole so much, aren't they all also assholes?

I mean yes!!! But assholes don't deserve to DIE just for being assholes!

They don't. I will not argue in favor of the death of anyone, but I can see why you are so angry about your situation.

It ain't good from any angle. And now I'm supposed to be in charge, but I'm down here.

... Do you not recall how you got here?

I remember...

[How did it happen? What was it...?]

.... Mmmmh... It hurt. It hurt so much. I can't... how did I-?

[All he remembers is that awful pain. He knows he chose to come here as opposed to that, but he's having a hard time thinking, the memory of Hell making Michael shake and wince. ]

I had to make it stop...!

[ Oh no he wasn't prepared for that kind of reaction. He freezes up uncertainly for a few moments, kicking himself for even asking in the first place, and finally reaches out slow and cautious to put a hand on his shoulder ]

You did make it stop. You're not there anymore.

[He flinches a little when he's touched, but he shakes himself out. He's fine, it's fine!]

Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.

[ Everyone's fine here!! Talon backs off the moment he flinches though ]

It's okay if you aren't, but I won't ask you to speak any further about it.

It's fine.

[He's not used to feeling any of that, so he's just gonna. Throw that out for now.]

I don't know anything about it anyway... Everything happened so fast. It feels like I was just sitting there after the battle, and now I'm here.

Trapped along with us.

[ Sighs ]

I have spoken a lot already...but are there any questions you have for me? Or questions that you still have about this place?
