[for the first time in weeks, Menzies stands on the Plane looking completely like her normal self. her eyes aren't glowing, she's not sniffly or congested, and there is no rash on her neck. she's wearing a suit like usual, but today it's unruffled, and her hair is pulled back neatly. and most of all, she can see]

[she cups her hands around her mouth, making a shouted announcement at anyone in the area] Oi, anybody who's been sick from that blue pollen! We've found a way to stop it!

[lowering her hands, she waits a moment for anyone who means to approach before explaining:] Think about the symptoms: sneezing, itching, a rash--it's like an allergy. So 'ow do you deal with it? Allergy medicine. If you've got it in your world, get some and take it. If not, we'll get it for you. After that, whatever's wrong will slowly disappear.

[she smiles, relieved and thrilled that they've solved something for once] And it'll be over.

[ooc: Feel free to use this as a mingle post and thread-hop to help each other. Let's solve the plot together!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[she wipes her tears away angrily, defiant. she knows why he did that, and that show of power has genuinely scared her, too. but she doesn't think there's any real comparison between her half-conscious poking and what he just did, meaning he's given her a clearer answer to her question of his intentions than any words would have]

You call that equal ground? You know, all I really wanted to know was if we were on the same side. And you might say that, but I'm not so sure. I didn't know you were a vengeful god!

[she practically spits the words. and then she eyes him, wondering what he'll have to say next]

I'm still a god for ya, good. [Sends a smile as he's gulping down the chocolate as if he wasn't eating anything before. He doesn't seem bothered by the vengeful label, since he's indeed acting like one.]

I admit I have different methods than you but our goals are the same, babe, I don't like bad neighborhoods either, I'd wish humans would stop doing things that messes up others, physically or mentally. You're a dream to have on Earth, making my job easier, you see.

But ya're still a human, darling.

[her words are sharp in return] It's what you're acting as, isn't it?

[she's still not sure what he is. he seemed to react to the word "angel," but even if that's the answer, she doesn't know what it would mean. in any case, she knows now that he's very powerful, and she's even more dubious about how he uses those powers. she resists the urge to put a hand to her head, refusing to show that weakness. the pounding is just making her angrier, and she keeps glaring]

No, I think you've got things confused. Because you know what? Justice isn't the same thing as vengeance. And if going around taking revenge on people for their crimes is what you do? Then no, we're not on the same side.

It's what I AM. [Gabriel stomps. He knew he should let this go, that would be the smart thing to do.] Don't tell me, that if you had the power you wouldn't give hell to those son of a bitches who made you so scared, to those who sell drugs to mothers with children. You might have done it before even.

We're not that different, Menzy. [Smirks.]

Sure. [it's sarcastic, but as far as she's concerned, he can call himself whatever he wants as long as she knows what he's out to do]

Yeah, well, unlike you, my job is just to find the people like that and stop 'em. The rest is up to the courts. [her tone sharpens, and she glares at him for using her memories against her] Whatever I might feel, I don't dole out revenge. But you seem quick enough to.

[she sighs, rubbing her temple, and glances around, noticing that the cats have all scattered. her tone lightens, becoming more casual. she's said her piece, and she's going to keep an eye on him, but it's up to him if he wants to escalate this further] Looks like you've lost your entourage. Are you planning to bring those back to your reality, or are they meant to wander 'round 'ere till somebody adopts them?

[Gabriel rolls his eyes at her remark, in a 'whatever' way.]

Court doesn't give justice, and ya should know that damn well better than anyone. Oh Menzy, you could do so much more than this, and I would even help ya.

[Though, actually, he likes the subject change, and that she's still talking to him. Small victories are still victories after all. He looks around, eying the cats that are now wandering around.] It wasn't my fault they were playing accessories for me, why would I care. But if ya want to you can keep the tiger. [Grin.]

[she gives a hum of interest, raising an eyebrow at him, but her tone is sharp] Ohhh, temptation now, is it? You show me your power, I tell you I'm not into vengeance, and you invite me to try it anyway? [sarcastic] Very smooth.

[she knows that leaving him be would be a mistake since she's not sure she can trust him. not to mention, while Gabriel doesn't know this, she can't leave the Plane until she's solved a case back home--so she can stop a bomb before it goes off. which means the best she could do is walk away, and she's not ready for that yet]

Oh, I don't know. I just thought, maybe somebody who pretends to be acting in people's interest might want to do something about a tiger on the loose. [and she gives him a look, hand on her hip. she'd send it back to his world herself if she could]

Glad you noticed, babe, I try my very best. [Wink. No sarcasm will let him down. But he has to sigh a little at her newest 'attack'.]

I choose who I play sugar daddy, 'kay? It's exactly why being a god rules, I pick the players on the board. Aaaand I'd make you Queen. [Flashes a wide smile, then looks over the tiger.]

She's safer here, it's not the tigers who're on the loose. She won't attack ya if that's what you're afraid of, she has your name after all. [And a spell on her, but shh.]

[she ignores that comment and instead gives the tiger a skeptical look. but he's right; she does look tame. Menzies has to admit that maybe there's method to his madness after all]

Right. As long as she's got everybody else's name, too. [she sighs, willing to let that be the end of the attack as long as he is] Oh, you're welcome for the tip, by the way. Enjoy being cat-free.

[and, unless he stops her, she turns to walk away]

[Gabriel just smiles about the tiger comment. Why would it be any fun if she wouldn't attack anyone else, duh. He lets Menzies go, but jokingly salutes to her on her way.]

Your heroic act will be remember'd, inspector!

[And about the tiger, it will follow Menzies around, since Gabriel enchanted it so it'll act as a pet and guardian to her. Just for his entertainment, and hopefully, for her annoyance.]
