TWO ‹

[ghostlighter]

[The Griever appears on the Plane, sitting in the air and looking annoyed — physically, his build and features are exactly like Chris's, but his hair is blond and his eyes glow red. His outfit is also darker than he might usually wear. However! Danny Phantom says ghosts are totally anonymous and you wouldn't be able to tell the Griever as Chris without prior knowledge of them being the same person.]

This is getting completely ridiculous. When you're put in the Ghost Zone, you're supposed to stay there!

[... he seems to be talking to himself.]

Oh, I see. Maybe they're just excited to see a new world?

[ghostlighter]

I doubt that's it.

[aimania.livejournal.com]

I don't know how ghosts are in your world, sir.

[ghostlighter]

... Which is why I'm telling you: I don't think that's it. [Eyebrow quirk.]

[aimania.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm sorry! It's just very strange to hear about things I'm used to being so different in other worlds.

[ghostlighter]

Don't worry about it. [... o hay, maybe this time to get some information he's been meaning to ask about.] What are you? You don't look like a ghost.

[aimania.livejournal.com]

[blinks; she wasn't expecting that] I'm a Fallen Angel.

[ghostlighter]

Fallen angel?

[aimania.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I was an angel trainee before this. But now I live in the Netherworld. I don't mind, though. I'm happy with my friends.

[ghostlighter]

[Sounding slightly sympathetic to this.] What happened?

[aimania.livejournal.com]

I brought harm against my own people. It's a grave sin for an angel to kill another angel. I knew the consequences. But I had to. I'm lucky that I was given such a nice punishment.

[ghostlighter]

[... how can he possibly be relating to her right now? He's so baffled, but he keeps his expression neutral.] Had to?

[aimania.livejournal.com]

[She is oblivious to any relating that is going on and continues her story] The Archangel was plotting to take control of the universe. His intentions were not evil in the tradition way. He thought that if he controlled everything, he could spread good and order. But he would harm so many in the process--! He had already manipulated too many events and caused people pain. I only wanted to talk to the Seraph but the angels blocked our way and tried to kill us. So we had to.

[ghostlighter]

[That sounds... a disturbing amount like Gideon, so Griever.. frowns a little.] ... I can get that.

[aimania.livejournal.com]

[she tilts her head a little] But it's all right now. Even if I'm a fallen angel, I can live with Laharl-san and Etna-san. And we stopped the Archangel. That's all that matters.

[ghostlighter]

So... you were just fighting to protect people, but you got in trouble anyway.

[aimania.livejournal.com]

Yes. But I knew I would be punished for defending demons. It was my choice to take the consequences of my actions. I was happy knowing I could protect everyone and give them hope for a better future.

[ghostlighter]

[Okay, seriously. Cut that out. This is ringing waaay too close for Chris. However, speaking of which...] Demons aren't evil where you come from?

[aimania.livejournal.com]

[shakes her head] I used to believe they were all evil but they are capable of kindness, just like everyone else.

[ghostlighter]

That... is nothing like the demons back in my reality.

[aimania.livejournal.com]

Really? What are they like?

[ghostlighter]

Evil. Ruthless. Destructive. Power hungry. I could go on, but that's pretty much all demons in a nutshell.

[aimania.livejournal.com]

Hm... My demons are like that, too, sometimes. They have a different way of doing things.

[ghostlighter]

Different how?
