Dossier Twenty-six

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Here is Henrietta. Henrietta brought Crowley's bathroom. She is in a nightgown.

She is also stuck on a towel hook.

Why is she stuck on a towel hook? Because she has a pair of enormous--or rather, proportional--dove-gray wings curving out of her back. And one of them is caught on the towel hook.

She winces.]

Oh... This is bad, I think.


[[Bwahaha, experiment start. Henrietta is now an angel. |D ]]

[Still squeaky] I just... I just... thought of signore Hei. He... he was... on fire. [SOB]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[...well shit.]

[Have another awkward shoulder pat, Henrietta]

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure he's fine.

[Is he going to tell her? Fuck no.]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But it was terrible. [WIBBLING. Better do something to distract her, Crowley. :|]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[Oh fine...it's not like it was all that bad anyway. It was just his pants :|]

All right, let's try something then. [He fishes around in a pocket for a moment, producing a coin. He flips the coin into the air and at some point before it lands back in his hand it transforms into a button, of the kind you would see on an overcoat.]

Simple enough. Care to try?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THAT HE WAS ON FIRE. ;~;]


[O.O] Oh... okay. What do I do? Do I just... [there's something in her that knows how to do this] I think it's different, and then it is, right?

[Something clicks--and there's a coin sitting in his palm.]

Ah! Was that me?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

It wasn't me. [He holds the coin out for her to take]

So you have got some of our powers, then.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[She takes the coin and stares at it, the mental gears turning.] You can turn into a snake, right? So...

[.....]

[There's a slight mental twitch, the feeling of a drop, and the coin plinks against the plane.]

[Next to a very surprised, very agitated dove.]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[Had started to say something, but the words die on his lips.

....

.........a sigh.]

I was afraid of something like this.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Slaps her wings rather uselessly against the plane, since she hasn't quite figured out how to coordinate them for flight.] Ah! I didn't mean to!

[contract_star]

... [OMGWTFDOVE.]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[Ignores Hei for the moment, in favour of trying to scoop the dove up in his hands before she hurts herself.]

Here now, calm down will you? It's easy enough to change back.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Scoop'd! She flaps and flutters rather desperately.] Ah! I'm sorry, I can't stop!

[contract_star]

[=_=] Angels can turn into doves. [It's not really a question.]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

They can turn into nearly anything, should the need arise. Size and shape are somewhat optional for our kind.

[He does his best to get Henrietta's wings tucked down to her sides and under his hands]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[She does manage to settle a bit, once he has her wings pinned. In a chirruping voice that sounds rather dazed:] You're very large, signore.

[contract_star]

Henrietta, how did you turn into a dove?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, being a small bird will do that. [He just holds her still for the time being]

[to Hei:] I'd been showing her how to transform matter. She mentioned one of my different shapes, so I can only assume she was trying it for herself.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Calm enough, now, though she's still making involuntary cooing noises.] I really didn't mean to, signore. I was just thinking about it... and then it happened.

[contract_star]

[Inwardly facepalming forever.] I didn't realize being an angel would be this unpredictable.

[To Crowley, though he's looking at Henrietta,] But you can teach her, right? How do control these things?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

It generally isn't—but then again, we've all sort of known what we've been doing since the beginning.

I can try. It's certainly going to be the definition of a crash course.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Squirms a little.] How do I change back? Do I just think it the same way?

[contract_star]

Good.

[Smiles at the dove.] It's worth a try.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[The demon nods]

Just do the same thing you did last time, but think of your usual body instead. Give it a shot. [He carefully lowers her back to the ground and pulls his hands away]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[And, instead of turning back into Henrietta, the dove rockets into the air and starts swooping and wheeling around and above their heads.]

Th...they started flapping again!

[contract_star]

[ajfkdlajfkld BIRD ATTACKING HIS HEAD.]

Henrietta--! Just--calm down!
