A ring of holy fire

[tricksterofthelord]

[The way Gabriel appears on the Plane can be described as dramatic. He's standing in the middle of a ring of fire... But for once, he doesn't seem all pleased about this.]

Oh, no no no, I'm not playing this game.

[He starts and disappears, together with the fire around him. Just to reappear a bit further away, with the same 'accessory'. His brows furrow, and his lips are tightly pressed together, just like a whining child.]

Come on... [He grumbles, and steps near the the fire, but immediately retreats to the middle of the ring. This is the kind of fire he detest. He gives a frustrated noise, as he crosses his arms and thinks about how to make this work...]


((ooc: So Gabriel is surrounded by a ring of fire that burns on holy oil. That fire bounds angels only. And yay No emotional barrier event! Have fun, he's grumpy. ))

[kenzi's not used to dealing with angels and demons and stuff - just the fae for her, thank you very much - so she doesn't have any idea why this guy is standing right in the middle of a ring of fire and not doing anything about it.

so she's just going to stare at him for a second with a sort of bemused look on her face.] .. There a reason you're not just .. stepping over that, buddy? Feet glued to the ground?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Gabriel groans at her remark. He so didn't need to make an awful first impression like this.]

Hey hey missy, the one who's got to the jokes 's me, so shut your cake hole, 'right? Of course I have a reason...

[regretisfosuckas]

[dude, first impressions only happen once - because that's why they're called first impressions - and she thinks he's making a pretty amusing one.

and again, since she doesn't have any idea what she's dealing with, she's just going to keep poking fun at him until he tells her just what's going on here.] Doesn't look like you're in any position to do anything but shuffle around. That means I can make all the jokes I want.

But just for the sake of my curiosity - what's your reason?

[tricksterofthelord]

That doesn't mean I have to like it, missy. [Holds up his index finger warningly.]

Ever heard of that cat and the curiosity deal, now that didn't end well did it?! But if ya really need to know it's cuz this fire's acting like a trap for me, 'kay? Done? Satisfied, kitty? I'm standing in a damned trap!

[regretisfosuckas]

[oooh, she's scared~

except nothing at all ever scares this tiny human. even with everything that she's been through.

she walks slowly around the circle of fire, hands in her back pockets as she surveys the guy's predicament.] Trap .. of fire .. if you say so, buddy.

... Meow.

[excuse you and your comments, gabriel. she isn't gonna take any of that from you.] So would I be right in assuming that you're gonna need some help getting out of there?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Gabriel is so done with you Kenzi. Have his best bitchface.]

Aren'cha brilliant? Figuring it out on your own, congratulations! [Sighs annoyed, thinking that this so won't work.] Listen, kid, I had to deal with a lot of shit in the past hours so if ya won't mind could ya help me?

[regretisfosuckas]

[aw, is that the best you can do? she's seen better bitchfaces than that.

she takes to sloooooowly walking around the circle, like she's thinking about whether she wants to help him or not, tapping her chin with a small hum in the back of her throat.] I could, I guess ..

[and then she stops, hands on her hips and a smirk curving her mouth upward.] What's in it for me if I do?

[desertdaggers]

What is it? … Aside from magic, obviously. [staying back, he's not about to try touching it]

[tricksterofthelord]

I thought it's pretty obvious Forrest: it's also fire. It keeps ya warm an' annoyed all the fucking time! You're welcome, now go back doing whatever you people do at this time of the day.

[For some strange reason, Gabriel is more snappy than usual. But he thinks it's because of the fire, and the 'adventures' that led to it.]

[desertdaggers]

Well, that seemed far too obvious to need stating at all. [geez. He's not that inclined to follow the orders of someone he's just met, so he stays, hands tucked into his sash, eyes on the fire.] Will it catch you if you cross it?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Gabriel frowns at the guy, with an 'are you serious' expression.] No, it will invite me to dance, of course it will! It could kill me, 'kay? I'm not really up that idea right now, pal.

[desertdaggers]

[just smiling.] Pity. You look like you'd be a good fire dancer.

[he sobers a little then, looking at the flames] Will it advance?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Thankfully, the fire stops every magic too, so the 'funny' stranger won't end up with daggers in his chest. But Gabriel is trying with a death glare.] Do I look like one, Chuckles? Do I?

Nah, it will stop burning. In a few years.

[grip_on_reality]

[Menzies watches Gabriel's plight with interest--and she can't resist making a comment]

Oi, Loki! Thought you could 'andle that sort of thing like this? [she snaps her fingers]

[really, she's a little surprised with herself for the blatant taunting, but for some reason she really doesn't care at the moment if she starts this conversation by offending him]

[tricksterofthelord]

[Well, she surprised Gabriel with that bold statement too. He squints his eyes and shakes his head at Menzies.]

You know what Menzy, I'm glad that we reached the 'joking about performance issues' stage in our relationship. It surely warms my grace, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna tolerate your Justice League ass right now 'kay?

[That came very suddenly for Gabriel too... Usually he would have tried to act smooth not snap like a brat. He reserved that for the Winchesters only...]

[grip_on_reality]

Oh? [her tone grows colder as she finds she doesn't feel like tolerating his insults] Did you want me to just leave you like that, then?

[tricksterofthelord]

No, I want you to help me out here! [He motions around annoyed.] You want to help everybody, don't you? Then, by all means, go on! I don't deserve it, but I'm not sure that ever stopped ya.

[grip_on_reality]

[her response is automatic--certainly not something she means to say out loud] I don't always want to. It's my job. [for a second, she stops, shocked at herself for saying that. but she shakes her head, brushing it off, and moves a bit closer to him]

I'm surprised to hear you say that. What do you need me to do?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Even Gabriel frowns at her at that statement. She would have never said that...] Your job sucks then. [Wait no, he didn't want to say that! He wanted to say something, about... something else... Whatever.]

Obviously, this isn't our day then, Menzy. Get a bucket of water, or sand, something that extinguishes this. Sand maybe cuz it's holy oil. And be careful, will ya?

[behisequal]

[The dramatics definitely earn Loki's attention, and he begins to laugh to himself when he sees the fire continue to follow the man around. Once the man begins to complain audibly, Loki can't help but approach. He isn't aware of it, but he's very much under the influence of whatever is coming out of the coliseum himself.]

My, this is entertaining. Having some difficulty ridding yourself of a few flames, my friend?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Gabriel crosses his arms annoyed. He's so humiliated, there are no words.] Alright Metal Deer, put your tongue back in your mouth and just get me some water?

[behisequal]

"Metal Deer"? [He lets out a laugh] That is a nickname I have not yet heard before. I believe I prefer it to the others my helmet has earned me. [The cow jokes have grown rather tired and old. Yet, it is with a pleased smile on his face that he removes his helmet and tucks it under his arm for the time being. He smiles for many reasons.]

Unfortunately, I cannot fetch you some water at this present moment. I could conjure some quite easily. Very easily, in fact. But why should I? Can you not simply jump over it and put it out yourself?

Of course...if it were that easy, you would not have fled the way you did.

[tricksterofthelord]

[Gabriel squints his eyes at the other. Stupid smiley fellow, ugh.] Glad I could entertain ya then, by all means, have a blast.

[Then he just spreads his arms, with an annoyed expression.] Listen pal, I'm not as incompetent as you might think I am right now. This isn't ordinary fire, so if you could conjure that water for me I'd go there and kick your ass any way you like. [Okay, he didn't exactly wanted to say this, he wanted to go with something smoother... but somehow the filter between his brain and mouth stopped working.]

[behisequal]

"Kick my ass"? [He lets out a rather amused laugh.] I do not own one, but if you wish, I could turn you into one and solve that problem with ease.

[He folds his hands behind his back and begin to pace around the flame circle.] No, I will not do that either. [He flashes the man a grin.] At least not yet. I fear that you match a description given to me and I have been searching for you for some time, so I will not let you go until I have spoken with you. So! [He stops, facing the man.] How about we start with who you really are?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Gabriel mimics Loki's laugh, annoyed.] Funny, very funny, bro. At least one of us is enjoyin' the situation.

[Though he has to roll his eyes when Loki states he won't help. But then, he smirks, spreading his arms.] Oh, so my fame reached you before me in person, how unfortunate. They always describe me taller.

I go by a lot of names, and lot of descriptions, some of 'em flattering and the others... not so much. Which one are ya curious about, Horny?
