[He looks over and nods. That is his name.] Zelgadis is fine.

[No last name formalities for him! He turns to look out at the stages and props...]

... I'm not really a performer. You?

An archangel...? As in, one who acts on behalf of the gods?

[Even with his face mostly covered, it's easy to see he's looking a little bit awed and confused.]

[He nods.]

I've heard stories, though I wasn't sure if they ever really existed. At the very least, there are no such beings in the lands I come from.

How did an angel end up in a place like this, anyway...?

[So even angels are out here swooning over princes... Some things are the same, wherever you go, it seems.]

Me? I...

[He tugs at the scarf covering the lower half of his face, self-consciously.]

... I'm human.

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-14 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I... Well...

[he's at a loss. people don't usually react positively to that. help.]

It's more of a curse... This face is not mine by choice.
hardrocklife: (002)

No. [He pauses to think a moment, then repeats:] ... No. A man.

He used a combination of science and sorcery to transform me into a chimera... The result is what you see before you.

[He pulls down his scarf. She's probably seen his stony face from afar, seeing as they've all been stuck in the same room a few times before, but this time she can get a good look.]

[he averts his eyes -- self-consciously.]

The punishment side of things has been taken care of. Now all that's left is finding a way to undo this... to become human again. I won't rest until I do.

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-15 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
... Probability?

[There is a look of sudden and intense interest.]
hardrocklife: (056)

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-16 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
A balance...?

How does one acquire that power?
hardrocklife: (022)

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-18 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[he doesn't know what any of this means. what's a nebula. why worry about consequences? he's desperate.]

... How, though?
hardrocklife: (075)

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-20 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
... I see.

I suppose you're also aiming to get out of here.

[It's not surprising -- chances are most, if not all of them intend that.]

[Zelgadis is wearing the same thing he always wears, but this time his hood's down. Progress?

He follows her gaze.]


... True. The dorms also looked like they had residences for far more people, but the upper floors were inaccessible...
hardrocklife: (030)

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-21 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine they do... Though the demons did say the "house parties" are less frequent than they used to be.

[To that question, he shakes his head.]

I haven't.
hardrocklife: (113)

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-21 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[Zel isn't worried about invading any residents' privacy; he'll just start walking towards the residences.]
hardrocklife: (016)

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-02-23 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll stop to study them, too.]

Demons, battling a sea monster?

... Must be some weak demons.

[Look how many it takes to fight one giant octopus. Pathetic.]

Impressive. Are all archangels gifted in combat?
