Oh hey, I haven't used this thing in a while, have I? ...Somebody said something about shocks the other day...

--looks like it's not shocking me, though! Haha, safe. So! Uh. I had a reason to post this, actually. Anybody around here know if there's somewhere I can crash? It looks like I'm not getting sent home anytime soon, and trying to find spots in those buildings without monsters just isn't working out great for me. It doesn't have to be nice or anything! Just, you know. Someplace where I don't have to sneak away from those stupid dog things at two in the morning.

And does all the food around here come in cans or from the soup kitchen? ...Um, that is to say. Anywhere a guy might be able to barter for some pie~?

Yes. What else would I be? .. I guess I could have been like Nill, but Nill can't fly.

That's odd.. I've never heard of a place having the fallen but no angels. I suppose every world is different, though.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...I'm not sure. The only winged beings I know of are the tengu - crow spirits - in their Illusionary World forms--

But... yeah. It must be that we're from different worlds. Haha...

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

Ah! I know tengu! .. I mean, not personally, of course, but Chihaya and I lived in Japan for a while and I studied a lot of the myths and things while we were there. I didn't know they were real, though.

.. 'Illusionary World'?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe not in your world, but in mine they are! And most of the other myths are, too. Couldn't say about the ghost stories...

...It's where the spirits and shikigami live.

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

That's amazing. So I guess you're used to seeing unusual things.

They live in a different world? So.. why do they go to the human world, then?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

They don't go there very often. I just... got a chance to visit theirs, a while back. Long story!

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

When people say 'long story', they usually mean 'I don't want to talk about this because I'm not supposed to/it's embarrassing/I made a slip and shouldn't have said that in the first place'. You can say that, you know. I won't pry.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

No, I really do mean it would be a long story!

And some of it would include things I shouldn't talk about, not that it probably matters here, but just to be safe - well, it sounds like you know the drill, right? ♥

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

I'm an angel, of course I do. There are things that we're not supposed to talk about, too. Technically, humans aren't even supposed to see us as we really are, but since I can't hide my wings here, that has posed a problem.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Uh - right! Yeah, that makes sense. Man, am I glad we don't-

Anyway, yeah, I'm not really allowed to talk about my line of work much.

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

.. Glad you don't--?

You can be sort of awkward, can't you? Anyway, I'm Kagetsuya.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Tsuzuki Asato. Nice to meet you.

...Glad we don't have wings to deal with.

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, too. Do you prefer Tsuzuki-san or some other form of address?

.. They can be a pain, sometimes.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

--Tsuzuki's fine, yeah.

And I bet! If they're big enough to carry a person even without magic... that's a lot of feathers.

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

All right.

.. It is. And they get everywhere, and wings take forever to dry if they get soaked. And there's not enough sun here to really dry them out well.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

It is kind of foggy out there... how do you usually deal with them? Do they, you know, keep molting whether or not they're visible...?

[ooc; fff Tsuzuki feels so awkward about talking to an angel. HE CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT HE DOES BECAUSE HE'S A BAD PERSON.]

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

.. It's kind of complicated. When we hide them, it's kind of like making them not exist, but it's not natural and it can be uncomfortable. And it takes energy and concentration, so if we get flustered or upset or angry, they can.. appear again.

Anyway, that's boring, isn't it? You keep pushing the subject away from yourself. Do you not like talking about you?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...Well, I'm not all that interesting! Though, I guess, if there's anything you want to ask....

[Oh man. I only ever saw the Earthian OAV. I can't remember what it is Kagetsuya does...]

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

You say that even though you apparently do things you're not supposed to talk about and visit spirit worlds and know tengu? I'd love to know what your definition of 'interesting' is, then.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Well, on the day-to-day level, it's kind of a boring office job. Usually. And I just met the tengu, I don't know them all that well.

[Oh boy. Yeah, Tsuzuki would be even worse if he heard about that...]

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

An office job that sends you to spirit worlds. And I don't know any tengu, so I'm sort of jealous. I'll bet Chihaya would get along well with them. He's always worrying about his wings and accidentally getting seen by humans.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

He might! Is he a friend of yours back home? ...They seemed to be pretty serious guys. Not as bad as Sohryuu, but kind of stonefaced, you know?

... Well, it's not a normal office job, but you'd think it was from all the paperwork.

[ahahaha yes. It's funny how everyone who knows Tsuzuki well enough eventually starts smacking him therapeutically upside the head.]

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

He's my partner. Angels are usually sent in pairs to Earth.

Well.. paperwork has to get done, I suppose. Still, your job sounds interesting if it sends you places like that.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

A... friend of mine. Sort of a friend. ...Acquaintance. He's not that friendly. Really? We work in pairs too - hope my partner doesn't kill me for vanishing on him in the middle of a job. He just got assigned to me, and he already seems like a pretty violent guy....

It's... well, it's a living!

[It's like karma tattooed "Kick Me" on his forehead.]

[kindofhiswife.livejournal.com]

Someone told me that my partner was once here, and I never noticed him missing, so I don't think yours will notice you missing, either. .. I'm kind of the violent one between Chihaya and I. But I'm also the one that cooks and cleans and makes sure our reports are in on time, so he doesn't get to complain when I yell at him.

You don't like it?
