We haven't had a story telling bonfire in a while. So tonight's post will be 1000 points for a starter that tells a cultural story. This can be something personal or something general about your character's world.

	"Well, i suppose not everyone would understand. That's fine, it's probably good you don't. It means you haven't necessarily experienced it, and that's good, I wouldn't want you to." He smiled to her and then raised a brow. "You're Lailah, though, right? Enough about my depression, weren't you here to teach me something?" He laughed, trying to change the subject.

	"I'm sorry," she said looking more than a little contrite. "Most people do not understand me so I know how that feels." But then she smiled, her eyes lighting up. "Yes, I am Lailah. I told you I would meet you tonight." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"A pretty lady by a bonfire? I feel like I'm in High School. A different person's body in high school, but in high school. It's good to meet you Lailah, and don't apologize please. I think we're all here to learn a bit more about one another, different cultures, everything that makes each of us unique in order to build a better society."

He shrugged and leaned forward on his forearms while watching her, tilting his brow up, "So what makes you the expert to teach me how to be more... readily open to things or whatever is a better way of putting that."

	She didn't understand the thing about high school, but being used to not understanding human culture she just smiled. "I am an angel of the Lord. It is my function to teach humans." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He blinked, his joke falling flat and then sighed, "Man I need to work on the pop culture of other cultures. I'm fading miserably around here. Still, alright, angel of the Lord. Interesting... well my Aunt would surely tell me she told me so."

He laughed a bit and then raised a brow, "So, uh, first thing's first. Before the teaching begins... is it true that everytime a bell rings, you get wings?"

	Lailah tilted her head in open confusion. "We have always had wings," she said. Then a sad look settled on her face. "Until we were cast out from Heaven. Our wings were broken and torn from us. It hurt." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Peter & Lailah the_spider_man 2016-08-20 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Peter blinked and frowned. Right, angels are real things no making fun of them through the stories of It's a Wonderful Life. He nodded, "I'm sorry to hear that. Why were you cast out? I'm not very uh... up to date on my Bible stories as it were. Can you get them back ever?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter & Lailah lailah_night 2016-08-21 12:00 am UTC (link)
	Lailah pulled her knees up and wrapped her arms around her legs as she sighed. "My brothers and sisters have been fighting for a long time. Their war culminated in all of us being cast from Heaven and our wings removed. Even me and I was not part of their fight. I do not know if I will get them back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter frowned, shaking his head, "Seems to me it's a bit unfair for you to be placed in the whole group just because they're your siblings. I think that you should be praised, really, if you're doing the right thing. Use you as an example of what's right."

He shrugged and then smiled, "But here you are now though, and we're all super happy to have you. I know I am. Maybe Arva can give you wings back, who knows, she's the goddess here, right?"

Lailah shrugged her shoulders. "There is little I can do about it. I was never one of the more powerful angels. Some were angry with me that I did not take a side."

She smiled sweetly when Peter admitted he was glad she was here. "I am very glad to be here. I miss my brothers and sisters, but it is better for me here." Then she looked puzzled. "I have not asked Arva for my wings. I am uncertain if she could do that."

Peter nodded, "Well I suppose not, but it's still a bit unfair and frankly a bit rude to treat you that way, but I get it. I mean I don't, but I get that it happened and there's nothing to be done about it now. Well, except maybe the Arva thing. I don't see why you can't at least ask, even if she can't do it, it's worth a shot."

He shrugged and then raised a brow, "Why do you feel it's better for you to be here? Besides all the family fighting?"

	He would have to have met any member of her family to understand that this was the least rude thing they've ever done. "There is no war here," Lailah said with a smile. "No hate. No anger. I am at peace here. Happy. And I can make a difference here. Bring Nephilim into existence again. It is good here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter nodded with a smile, and let out a breath, "It's been almost a whole month and I have yet to fight or punch anyone in the face, haven't had to stop the world from being destroyed. Truly, it's a blessing. My hands don't know what to do with themselves. I'm going crazy with joy just thinking about it."

He laughed, then raised a brow, "I uh... wait, Nephilim? Okay, you got me. What is that?"

	Lailah giggled with a bright smile on her face. She liked hearing him laugh. He had a good laugh. "The children of angels and humans. They are very strong and have free will like the humans do. My Father disapproved of them and killed them all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter blinked and laughed, "Alright, children of humans and angels. Well if this place has anything to do about it, and as absolutely beautiful as you are, I can guarantee that's coming about..." He then blinked and stared at her, mouth agape, "He -- what?! Good... God, that -- that phrase feels oddly inaccurate now. And wrong. Uh, yea, wow. I'm glad you're here, really glad now. Super glad."

	Lailah blushed for the compliment but smiled with a solid look at Peter. "Thank you. This vessel is very popular." Her smile softened. "My Father was strict, but I am sure He had His reasons." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter laughed, "Vessel? Oh now you're telling me you're possessing that body. Of course you are, it wouldn't be a day in the life of Peter Parker if one of my friends wasn't doing something completely incredible and unexpected. And I'm not surprised she's popular, or you're popular. Were I a lesser man, I'd likely be spending my whole time flirting and not talking with substance."

He then frowned a bit at her words, "Maybe... I guess. Though I can't imagine why."

	Lailah tilted her head, her smile becoming pleased. "I am your friend? I like that. And you would still be you if you wished to flirt. I cannot guarantee I will know you are, but that is my fault." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Peter & Lailah the_spider_man 2016-08-21 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	"You are. You've talked this long and haven't rolled your eyes once, that's pretty much all it takes to be my friend. I have low standards," He grinned and then shrugged, "That's me being sarcastic. I assume if flirting's hard, sarcasm might be as well." He then let his smile grow, "So what is it you wanted to teach me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter & Lailah lailah_night 2016-08-21 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	"What do you want to learn?" Lailah asked as she put her chin on her knees. "You said there were things you had to get used to. What would you like to learn first?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well I guess we were just going to kind of talk, and who knows, maybe you have some advice on it or something, who knows," He shrugged then looked at her, smirking a bit, "It's going to be really hard talking out loud about this with someone I barely know. And me, being speechless, damn."

He shook his head then thought a bit, "I guess the number one thing I need to get used to, is that being Spider-Man is no longer necessary, really. I can finally just be Peter Parker. I've never been able to do that before..."

He raised a brow in her direction, "And the idea of being so open with my sex life that I'm meant to have multiple partners. I've only ever been with one woman at a time in my life, several relationships sure, but all of them were long ones, and monogamous."

	Peter & Lailah lailah_night 2016-08-21 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded in total understanding. "It is strange for me to be among humans and admit what I am. I have learned that just saying the truth comes easier the more I do it." Her smile became a little sheepish, perhaps even coy. "It does take some getting used to. I had never had intercourse before I came here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter smiled at her coyness, and raised a brow, curious about it, but then shrugged, "It'll be nice to be myself again, to truly be myself, it's just that other part of my life has been such a huge, huge part of my life for ever that it's hard not to feel I'm giving a part of me up. Not a bad thing just, weird, odd, hard. Still, I'll figure it out. And hell, it's a bit shocking to find out angels are real, but I'm totally cool with it. I like you."

He then raised a brow, "Really? I find that surprising with how pretty you are. That said, I have had it plenty. But if you can break out of your shell, so can I, I guess. Did you like it your first time? If I can be so bold."

	"You could be your spider self here, too," Lailah said. "It is part of you and you shouldn't try to be rid of it. It is who you are." Then she laughed. "This vessel had intercourse before she died, but it was new to me. And I enjoyed it very much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, I mean, I still have the powers, but there's no reason to wear the tights, and not like I'm going to be stopping any crimes. But I guess I could go swinging around, and enjoy myself a tiny bit."

He laughed then, "Wow, that's cool. So, scientific curiosity here. When you take over a vessel. Do you then know immediately what it's like to have sex, like you hadn't before being in the vessel, then you were, and she'd had it, so do you share those memories and feelings with her? Or were you just aware that she'd done it, but you had to experience it yourself to know how it felt?"
