Gabriel was rather less than impressed. On the one hand he was alive. Fantastic. That was far better the alternative. On the other hand he was stuck in one of the only truly disturbing songs that had ever been written. That kinda sucked ass.

On the other hand not everyone here was a complete waste of space. That Remy guy seemed mildly interesting. Little Sammy Winchester was here and then there was... Maybe he could find some minor diversion for a while. And then there was a job. The choice was a deliberate one. Crazy people were just so much more interesting that the ones who thought themselves sane.

He was walking by the shops he didn't need to get to the lake he had no interest in, well, little interest. The bubble bikes looked kinda fun. Now he had resized and redecorated his room he needed a new project. Undoing the mojo around this place was a good place to start... after breakfast. Gabriel snapped his fingers and a lush picnic spread out in front of him. He settled himself on the rug. At least the sunlight felt like real sunlight. He ignored the caviare and went for the cornflakes. Now that was a proper breakfast.

Arching an eyebrow at him, Jaz looked him over carefully. There was something off about this guy, she decided. What it was, she had no clue, but it was definitely something. She smoothed her hair back and tried to discern what, exactly, it was. But nothing came to her.

He called her by her name, when she never recalled actually having given him her name - as a matter of fact, she knew she hadn't - and she had to admit, she was intrigued. Maybe he'd found it on the forums on the PDA. But she doubted it was that simple. "Already ate. But I will take that chat," she said, pausing to rewind to something else he'd said momentarily. "And don't worry. Perverted imagery isn't exactly what comes to mind here," she shook her head. Unless he considered her macing him in the face and kicking him in the groin kinky. In which case, he was an intriguing character. "Blue shoes is a form of address to my shoes. Not me. Were they the only part you wanted to invite here?"

"Well I have to admit I think they would look great on me but you can come too." He smiled again, warm and genuine.

"So have you been here a while? What is your experience of this place? Did you get the small room too, because I can totally correct that for you." He munched on his cereal for a bit. "What did you do before you got sucked into the vortex? Have you ever been dead? Beatles or Stones?"
He sighed in contentment. This was a good day. "Inquiring minds need to know."

Jaz laughed a little bit. "You sure this is really your color?" she asked, looking at the shoes and wondering if she shouldn't have gone for the green ones instead. She sat down, leaning back on her hands and crossing her legs at the ankle, swatting a bug off of her leg.

"I was-" she pondered lying, but figured that since she'd been honest with everyone else, why not just get it out of the way up front here, too. "I was in the CIA. The paranormal investigation division. Worked with a vampire, all that fun stuff," she mused, unwrapping a hair tie from her wrist and pulling her hair back. "Before I was sucked into the vortex, I was being ripped to shreds by a soul sucker, so I've almost been dead, and Mick Jagger freaks me out," she quipped, half-smiling. "Same questions."

"I can definitely pull off blue though I have to admit, I'm more a fan of puce." He willed the rest of bugs away from his food and they decided they would rather be somewhere else.

Gabriel chewed thoughtfully. "You worked with a what? Wasn't that a little...pointy?" In Gabriel's experience vampires and humans didn't get on much in the way that hungry lions and slow gazelles didn't get on.
"You know, you should probably meet Dean. The two of you could exchange a cheerful collection of "nearly eaten by monsters" stories." Yep, he was right. Blue Shoes was interesting. He wondered when she was going to start interrogating him.

"It's the lips," he said of Jagger. "Plus no one should look that good in purple pants."

"Ooh, that would look fantastic with your eyes," Jaz grinned, stretching her arms out a little and watching a couple of bugs skittering away. "For someone who's knocking purple pants, I wouldn't think you'd be a fan of puce."

Pointy? Really? "No. It wasn't. Well, maybe a couple times," she said, subconsciously raising her hand to her neck to touch the two little raised bumps from when Vayl had fed from her. "But not without consent, anyway. The vampires in my world are a lot more cuddly than some of the other worlds people around here come from. Well, some are, anyway," she amended.

Jaz shook her head when he mentioned sharing stories and shrugged. "It was bad enough living through it once," she explained. "Don't wanna talk about it any more than I have to," she explained.

"So, what about you? What's your story?" she asked simply.

"Hey, puce is totally unappreciated. It's like beige but interesting."

Ok, now that was something. "See, this is why I like humans. After 2000 years you can still surprise me. You went the Anne Rice route huh? Was is as hot as it looks on Fox? and Cuddly? Really? Bloody vampire romance crap making monsters cuddly. Why don't angels ever get press like that? I mean, come on, they had needs too but, no, they were all 'oh no, can't have sex. No one will take is seriously if we boff them.' Rubbish."

He grinned. "My story? Well I just gave you a clue."

Jaz rolled her eyes and was about to comment on the whole vampire thing when Gabriel mentioned that he was an angel. Her mind immediately went to Judas and his sensing a 'celestial' here, and click, click, right into place the pieces fell. No one could ever say that Jasmine Parks wasn't intelligent, that was for sure. If she wasn't, she would have never made it in the CIA.

"Angel?" she raised an eyebrow. "Gabriel, huh?" she asked him, unfazed. "Well, I'd ask what brought you here, but you're a freakin' archangel. If you're not interesting enough to be here, who is?" she mused quietly.

She had to tell Judas. Soon.

"Though you gotta figure your angel mojo would be stronger than whatever Petersen has going on here...what's up with that?"

"And there you go, just like that. The penny has dropped. Nice to see you have heard of me at least. Though I get this is not what you expected. Damn church has a lot to answer for. American television even more."

Gabriel put down his bowl then willed it away. He frowned. "I don't know how he's keeping me here, OK? But it's only a temporary arrangement, I promise you that. The people here are disturbing but at least some of the guests get me. They give me chocolate, that's nice. But you guys, the staff, you are far more ignorant. I know why, of course. It's just a pain in the arse." Gabriel stretched out on the rug. "I'm a bit disappointed, you know, at the lack of reaction to my big reveal."

"I'm sure there's a lot of people here who have heard of you..." Jaz shrugged, looking around as groups of people watched them in awe and amazement. What, were they not allowed to interact? "I...never went to church. So, I really didn't know what to expect, to be honest."

Gabriel explained that him being here was a temporary arrangement. "I'm putting together a mission to find out what he is," she explained. "Right now, we have nothing. Other than that he's creepy, weird and way powerful. And apparently enough so that he can trap an angel in his little web of weird," she shook her head, because that was just scary, one being having that much power. "I wouldn't call us ignorant, though. At least not me. I figured you out right away. Not that you hid," she chuckled.

"I don't think I was around for your big reveal."

"Probably wise. Churches are full of, well, bullshit. But don't let that put you off. They have pretty glass."

Gabriel chuckled. "I'm itching to meet this guy. He sounds like fun and I'm pretty sure his head screws off." The archangel was just relaxing in the sun. He ignored the crowds. They weren't close enough to really put him off or, at least, block his sunlight.

"So, your little plan... I'd like in if you think you could use my help." He figured he should ask, it being her plan at all and he was trying to play nice with his fellow victims.

"You figured it out huh? And you're damn right I'm not hiding it. You never would have got if it I was. Not even my brothers could find me. Of course, if you like big reveals you should totally stick around later. You never know, they may be more. I already have people offering to rub my lamp."

To say that Jaz was surprised that Gabriel had more or less said that churches were full of shit would have been the biggest understatement to ever be uttered. She chuckled softly at the 'pretty glass' comment and shrugged a shoulder. "So do stained-glass window stores," she mused.

Jaz smirked when Gabriel mentioned wanting to help with her plan. As long as she kept Gabriel and Judas' involvements separate, she supposed that this could work. She had two of the oldest beings in existence offering to help her with this plan, it might just work out. "That sounds good," she said, sitting up straight and leaning forward a little bit, preparing to give him the info that they'd compiled. "So far, we have a whole lot of nothing. Just that he has dillusions of grandeur, a lot of dangerous power and thinks we're his toys. Lots of fun," she rolled her eyes.

She paused when he mentioned people offering to rub his lamp, an eyebrow arching. "Is that some kind of euphamism?" she asked. Though he seemed clever enough to come up with something better than 'rub my lamp,' so maybe it wasn't a euphamism. "Unless some poor sap actually thinks you're supposed to sound like Robin Williams and sing about how they've never had a friend like you..." she grinned wryly.

"The best stained-glass windows don't come from stores but if you like fragments then I guess you could find something enjoyable there." Really he didn't care for most of the windows in churches either except for the ones that features angels as warriors and not prissy little bodyguards.

"Well, I've met a soul or two with somewhat in common with the Lord of the Manner. I guess I could, have a little chat with him, find out his dress size, make sure the scenery is to his liking. How does that fit with your plan?" Gabriel didn't expect them to actually have a plan of any description but he wanted her to admit it. Humans were so eager to die. It would have been amusing if it wasn't to sad.

Gabriel chuckled. "Well, I wasn't being as figurative as you may think. Conjure up tennis court in a split second and people think you're their own personal genie. Honestly, people have no respect any more." He blinked at the perfect sky. "But you got one thing right. You really haven't had a friend like me." And he winked.

"Now, what are my orders commander?"
