Everything in order. (Open)
All of her scholarship and financial aid information were straight and ready. She'd checked. Four times. There were plenty of ways for a future UUA minister to pay for Berkeley if one just did the research and the legwork. She was sorting out the last of things at the tower, sitting in a balcony area.

	There's a flapping noise like an over grown pigeon coming home to roost, if the pigeon were the size of a boy in his late teens. One who's barreling towards the balcony and what might hopefully be an open window. It better be open. It is, right? Duck? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It is now. Ruth got that creepy sensation, and whispered, and moved very quickly to slide back the glass door. ...And now she's in costume again, and her triplicate copies of her paperwork are scrambled. Oh dear. "Oh dear," she in fact says aloud. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Incoming angel, straight ahead! Complete with beer. Because beer is good. With a tumble of feathers, Eli goes sprawling through the door into the open room, bashing into a few pieces of furniture. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth surveys the miniature carnage with an unfortunate expression. First things first. "Are... are you okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-06-30 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Beeeeer?" Translation: Is the beer okay? Important things must be taken care of first. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Beer is going to get rapidly scooped up and set right-side-up on the counter, thank you. "Can you feel your arms and legs, or is that a really silly question at this point? I'm not sure how to tell possible back injuries from just being...um...desensitized." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth sighs. "Thank you. I'm glad you're okay." And she will dart around getting paper towels, et cetera as the costume fades. "I'm Ruth. Mourning Dove when the funny outfit's on. What's yours?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-06-30 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"I'm Eli Coyne, nice to meet you Dove." There's fluttering as he fights to right himself. A few more things get knocked over when he does. "Want a drink?" Instead of being helpful, he goes over and inspects the beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-06-30 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Ruth fills a glass of ice water and presses it to his hand. "No, thank you, Eli. Beer's never been my style. But in a few hours, you'll wish you had a glass of water if you don't now. And you should have a sandwich. I'll make one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-06-30 02:25 am UTC (link)
	He's not going to say no to a sandwich, but he does put the glass of water down to open a beer. He's already slightly tipsy. "Why would I need water later?" This is strange! She is strange! No beer drinking girl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-06-30 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"Because the sooner you have water, the less your head will hurt later. Unless you have some kind of special alien physiology or something. I don't know a lot about that." Ruth frowns. "Isn't the place enough of a mess without opening another bottle?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-06-30 02:57 am UTC (link)
	"I'll be fine. Hangovers are nothing." He lifts his bottle and grins at her. "And no. It's never not the right time to drink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-06-30 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"I see. Well, at least eat." She hands him the sandwich, then starts picking up the mess. "So, do the Titans always clean up after you, Eli, or are you lucking out finding the new girl?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're trying to get rid of me, I think. The guys are. Iris likes me and she's the one who invited me but like green lantern kid doesn't like me at aaaalll..." Sandwiches are yummy. He starts promptly munching. "Girls seem to like me though. And Avalon... he's cute." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, already intoxicated before suppertime probably isn't the most conducive to superheroing," she says cheerfully. "I don't know a lot of those people, though. But Iris is very nice." "So. You have wings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahh. So you just drop by their house occasionally, make a small mess, and look cute around the girls." She smiles. "And you wonder why the boys take issue with you." "I do. I hope you weren't planning on using your wings again for the next couple of hours, because that really seems dangerous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-06-30 03:26 am UTC (link)
	"I check out the guys too. Check anyone out." Eli swallows the sandwich and licks his fingers. "I've flown drunker and higher. But thank you for your concern." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah. Well, then I should officially ask you not to hit on my boyfriend too much. I've gotten really frustrated with people doing that a lot lately." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-06-30 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Eli leans up against something leanable and leers at Ruth. "What about both of you? Can I hit on both of you at the same time? "We could have a threesome. They say it's heavenly with angels." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-06-30 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"I'm afraid threesomes aren't my particular style, either. I think Jay is too far down the Kinsey scale, anyway, but you know how insecurities can get." Ruth raised an eyebrow. "Do you get that joke a lot because of the wings or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The wings spread out and he bows. "And because my father is Zauriel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth blinks at him. And looks him over. And blinks at him. "I...would have said with a reasonable amount of certainty that humans and angels aren't cross-fertile. I mean, there's that bit in Genesis 6, but there's no reason to think that was meant to be taken literally..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm new at this."

It could be worse. While that level of interaction with angels is unexpected and seems somehow...unorganized (it could definitely be said there's a reason she got more of the Order and Jay more of the Chaos), it's not like it's against her religion at all. Of course, precious few things are actually against Ruth's religion, but still, you know. Somebody could mention eternal damnation and then there'd really be no living with Ruth.

"Well, at any rate, no thank you."

	Hey! Even angels fall in love, as evidenced by Eli's existence. He wouldn't call it messy or anything. Personally, Eli is agnostic, so he won't be mentioning anything about religion. He'd be an atheist if he could but... yeah. "Have you ever tried it before?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-06-30 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Ruth is very, very new at all of this. She's only barely getting acquainted with matters of half-aliens and such. "No, but sex isn't like vegetables. One doesn't have to give everything a shot to know what one's inclined for. And nobody should try anything before they're certain they're ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Blah, blah, blah. "So, what are your powers, birdy?" He takes another gulp from his beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-06-30 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Mostly speed, healing, and being better at aikido than I should reasonably be. Not as fast as Iris, of course." She'll leave out the Stuff that started to happen when she lost her temper. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-07-01 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Seeing as how Eli tends to go a bit berserk when fighting... "Healing's always useful. Always need a cleric." Yes, Eli is a D&D nerd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-07-02 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	Ruth blinks. "While world peace would be nice if possible, we are decidedly Not the Unification Church, no. The Unitarian and Universalist churches started as different offshoots of Christianity, but when they merged it became very much a case of 'we share certain basic principles; you fill in the spiritual details yourself."

	Ruth thinks for a moment. "I can see how that would be a problem," she eventually says, quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)
