The Angel's Game[closed/starting!!]

Ilwynn Rohanis

Ilwynn woke with a start. The hot desert air clung to him with a stubborn stickiness, much like his clothes, and a metallic taste lingered in his mouth. His ears popped as he shot up from his pallet on the floor, used to the mountian air high above sea level rather than this miserable pit, and he surveyed his tent with a throbbing head. The slick tan material of the tent looked nothing like his stark white room at the temple, and the thick sauna-like air was hell to pay for living in the crisp mountian hideaway for so long. Panic rose like bile in his throat and he clamoured out of his tangled sheets - clad only in his gray sweatpants - and stumbled out into the bright morning.

Instead of the wooden deck of the temple, miles of baked dirt and sand peppered with cacti met his gaze. He swore and kicked up a cloud of sand, glaring up at Heaven with a scowl. And I suppose you think this is pretty damn funny. Send the Fallen to the desert while he's passed out - real decent of you. Cursing, he glanced across the site to see a group of Holies clustered by their tents. Their pristine white wings all seemed intact and he craned his neck to see his own charcoal wings still folded tight against his back. At least not everything about this day was screwed up yet - he could still escape if he had to. He shoved his hands in his pockets, fully intending to retreat back into his tent to plan a solo desert trek when the quiet rustle of paper caught his attention. His fingers closed around a small scrap of paper and he held it up to the sun to read.

"There's a village not far from here. Maybe just a few miles or so. If you go there and find the fortune teller...what the hell kind of prank is this?"

Ilwynn squinted at the group of Holies again and realized they were just as confused as he was. The note didn't explain much, but clearly they were meant to work together to get out of this mess. Still, he wasn't about to go all buddy-buddy with a bunch of Holies just because some joker in Heaven dumped them here. Desert or no desert, Holies were Holies and Ilwynn just wasn't in the mood to get a faith lecture this morning. Besides, there were six tents and only three Holies. There had to be a couple of Fallen stumbling around to make things even, right? Maybe he wasn't in this alone after all.

Hikaru felt a ray of sunlight bounce off her face, making her close her eyes tighter, and pull the covers up and over her head. A grumble escaped her lips as she dug her face into the pillow. "Go away sun! No one likes you! You should just burn out and blow up so you can stop torturing the few people that actually enjoy their sleep!" She grumbled. Uncovering and turning her head to the opposite side, she opened her eyes seeing the tent zipped. "Which idiot left the tent open?" she groweled closing her eyes again. A few moments passed when she snapped her eyes open, and sat up quickly. " Tent? How the Hell did I get into a tent? Where am I?" She said aloud, quickly crawling out the tent into the bright outside. It took her a minute for her eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness, but when she did, she looked around seeing more people that looked as confused as she did. It was then that she noticed the hard throbbing of her head, and the loud thumping of her paniking heart.
She looked down at her white t-shirt, that hugged her upper body, it was slightly see through, and showed her black bra. Then at her grey loose sweatpants and black Nike shoes that she remembered putting on the last time she was fully conscious.
Hikaru looked around at her surroundings, counting six tents and one unzipped. She became Curtis as to who else was here, and noticed at Fallen. One she recognized as Ilwynn. Hikaru open her mouth to speak and make her presence known, but was interrupted by another male speaking. Turning her neck in the direction of the voice, she saw three Holy's outside of the other three tents she had counted before. A sneer made its was on her lips before she turned seeing a wooden crate. "Does anyone care to tell me why we are in a desert? Last time I checked, I fell asleep in a bed."Her smooth voice sounded, breaking the bit of silence that was in the air.

"Have you ever loved someone so much, you wanted to keep them hidden from the world?"
Well, apparently it's called kidnapping....

『Ｋｏｎ Ｓｈｉｋｉｍａ』

Just after Kon asked Blake about the situation, since he would of course know what's going on, Sharina appeared asking if he were confused. Kon never even thought of who else would be there, it didn't occur to him there were others. Even though he had seen Blake already, his brain never decided to consider there'd be others. No, it was too busy considering ''AHHHH''. Kon was aware of Sharina, but he didn't know her very much. He was too busy working to socialize with the other angels. ''Oh hey, you're uh...Sharina right? Well, that's one way of putting it. I'm not really confused, just panicking and needing to get back home. I have a lot of work to get done today, as i do tomorrow, and for the rest of the week...You get my point.'' Kon told her, calming down somewhat. After speaking just a bit, Kon was calmed down enough to actually be aware of his surroundings. Which quite scared him, considering the fact it was really hot, the air was really humid and everything around them just emanated an aura of ''Dry''. His fears were even more amplified when Blake said something Kon could not have expected. ''...So, the oldest angel alive, so to speak, doesn't know what's going on here? Wow, to be honest, i expected you to know all about it. 'Cos, y'know, you're the oldest angel...So, Nice to meet you, sir.'' Kon said, starting to feel awkward, and like he just called Blake offensively old. Probably a bad idea to piss people off now, although Kon hadn't the history of being too abrasive. Kon had heard of the deserts, he hadn't been to any personally, nor had he Earth, but what he did hear was it was a dead stretch of sand and heat. Seemed about right. However, another unexpected thing was shown before Kon. And that was the presence of their not so distant cousins, the fallen. Kon turned around upon the indication by Blake, and was greeted by the sight of a couple of black winged angels crawling out from their tents. ''...So then, fallen. Well, gee, this sure is a fun holiday to the desert.'' Kon said, sighing. He realized he hadn't made a very graceful start to his venture, what with all of his panicking, even though the two girls didn't even seem to be at quite the level he was at. Now, what did that say about him i wonder? There was a lot of things Kon could say at that moment, but nothing would come to mind. At first, Kon wanted to explain the situation as he understood it to the fallen girl, but then he remembered the fallen and holy angels weren't on the best of terms. Well, he was told by his superiors that they were as good as demons and he was to hack them down if any of them stood in his way. Of course, this wasn't a battlefield, and Kon didn't have his weapons. Nor did he have his armor. All he had was his regular day to day uniform, with it's thick white material, hard metal shoulder pads, and the high up collar which all in combination equalled a baked Kon. ''...Why is it that I got thrown into the desert in my usual uniform? Whoever abducted us, it would've been nice if you gave me something a bit more breezy. Stupid abductors, with their lack of foresight...'' Kon complained, having nothing better to say than that. And that was all he could say. He was just too overwhelmed to think up anything that might possibly be useful. ''I'm gonna go sit down...'' Kon said weakly, before pathetically walking back up to his tent, and crawling into it. Ah yes, good old shade. If he was going to be stuck in this cooking foil of an outfit for the foreseeable future, the shade was gonna be his best friend.

⊰ⓄⓞⒸ: Terrible post, but that's because it's rushed ^^;; Have almost as much time for recreation as Kon does...⊱

As more time passed by, more people seemed to emerge from tent, each one looking as confused and as panicked as ever. Sharina saw 2 more Fallen. She guessed that just to make it even, a third would pop out eventually. Uh-oh. Fallen. She didn't have a liking for them very much, though she just kept her mouth shut. There were more important things to worry about. No one knew their exact location, and no one knew how they got here or why they were here in the first place. Sharina clutched her necklace tightly. So many things were running through her mind right now, it was making her dizzy. She stumbled onto a wooden crate, balancing herself on it so that she could stand properly. The heat didn't help it any better either. Sharina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. That's when she heard the Fallen girl behind her. I don't know if I should speak to her... Should I... We are all so very confused..

Finally she said quietly, almost in a whisper towards her, "We don't know..none of us know why we are here or how we got in this mess." Sharina said it rushed. Getting up from the crate, she saw Kon retreat back into his tent. So she wasn't the most worried one here. Did He plan this? Is this possibly His doing? It was said that God always had a plan. He better have one for the six of us here. Closing her eyes again, she heard someone in the group say, "village not far from here." Her head snapped up and she turned around, predicting that it was the Fallen holding a sheet of paper up to the sun. A village. It seemed like an antidote to this poisonous situation. No. I made an attempt to talk to one Fallen today. I'm not doing it again. She thought to herself while sighing.

But is there a cure for this poison?
Can an angel return to the same?
No one really knows,
that's why we are stuck in this game.❞

Ilwynn Rohanis

Ilwynn snuck a glance at the Fallen beside him - the one who was currently taunting the clique of Holy angels - and immediately recognized her as Hikaru Himito. He hadn't had much contact with other Fallen when he left the safety of Heaven, seeing as he couldn't remember most of them, but for some reason this girl stuck in his mind even after a few centuries in a secluded mountian temple. A sneer was prominent on her face, almost as prominent and the Holy angels' collective look of discomfort. Even after being sent to Earth into the middle of a desert, it seemed Holies were incapable of hatred.

Oddly comforted by the thought, Ilwynn rolled his eyes and retreated into his tent to snoop around for clues. The tent was nothing special of course, just your typical rain-proof fabric stretched over some poles - not that they'd need anything rain-proof in this desert - but piled in the corner were some bags and canteens. Curious, Ilwynn snatched one up and began to rifle through its contents: clothes for about a week in the main compartment and a sleeping bag attatched to the bottom. He found a wad of money and a switchblade in some smaller compartments near the front, along with another copy of the note he found in his pocket. Scowling, he shoved the note into his pocket and inspected the canteens. Both were full of water - enough to last them to the village and no more he suspected.

A sense of paranoia began to creep into the back of his mind and a desperate need to confirm his fears nagged at his chest. He sat down on the dusty floor of the tent and crossed his legs as he had learned in the temple, reaching out with his mind to detect any electrical fields that humans caused with their many handheld devices. For over two minutes, he found nothing. Not even the faintest trace of a human gadget within a two mile radius. Gritting his teeth, he broadened the search to four miles, but the desert responded with only silence. He swore and stomped out of the tent, pulling Hikaru aside.

"In case it isn't already obvious, we're being set up. Check your pockets. I found this in mine, and I sure as hell didn't put it there." He showed her the note, glancing over his shoulder at the clique. "I'm almost positive they have some too. And I snooped around in my tent. They've left us with clothes and water and not much else. There's something about crate of food, but I haven't seen them yet." He ran a hand through his hair in frustration, hissing under his breath so the Holy angels wouldn't hear. "Whoever did this is testing us. This isn't a prank, it's a game. The only way to survive is to win, and the only way to win is to team up with the Holier-Than-Thou clique over there. I don't know about you, but I have a bad feeling that somehow or another we'll need the to get to the village."

Ilwynn Rohanis

Ilwynn scowled as sand and grit pelted him from the wind the leather-clad Holy made with his wings. He gritted his teeth, slowly counting to ten so he didn't make a scene and dash any hopes they had for working together before they even got started. Still, of all the angels here, you'd think the oldest one would know better than to go about flaunting your wings in a desert. Then again, Ilwynn doubted any of them had even seen a desert before. Heaven surely wouldn't have anything as miserable as this if it was as wonderful as it was hyped up to be, so he couldn't pin all the blame on them for being stumbling idiots.

A heavy sigh passed through his lips and he brushed off the debris from his skin before stalking off into his tent to throw on a pair of more appropriate clothes. A t-shirt and generic pair of shorts later, Ilwynn emerged from his tent - determined to get the ball rolling. The more time they spent in this god-forsaken, the less likely it was they would make it to the village - if there even was one. Ilwynn still wasn't sure he could believe all the note had to say, but it was the only lead he had. Better to grasp at straws than drown, he supposed. Summoning all the self-control he had, he marched over to where the ancient Holy was brooding and sat in the hot sand beside him.

"Look, you seem like the most level-headed one of the bunch as far as Holy angels go, so you must see something fishy about all this desert business right? I mean, if god is as all-knowing as you would have everyone believe, then he must know you're here. So why would he send three of his own angels to Earth with three Fallen angels unless he had a pretty damn good reason?" He pulled the note out of his pocket, leaving it folded, and stared at it as though it were the most perplexing thing on the planet. "I know this sounds ridiculous, but this note says we're supposed to work together if we have any hope of getting out of this mess. Maybe your god is testing you to see how well you follow orders, even under the most extreme conditions. If I remember correctly, it's been done before. Now, I don't know about you but I'd much rather just give this a shot than sit out here in the desert and wait to fry..."
