Considering that Saminga's Word encompasses the metaphorical aspects of Death (not that he uses them to best effect), he'd probably be tickled sickly, mottled pink if humanity went extinct -- surely the death of an entire species supports his Word. ===== Michael Walton, #US2002023848 "Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff." -- Frank Zappa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Thanks to Ryan M Roth's write-up of Kobal as Commander of the Hosts for inspiration, specifically the line about all of Heaven's generals ending up on trial. The basic idea is a sympathetic Dominique as General of Heaven, while still keeping her 'day job' (i.e. Judgment). Pretty much the two highest stress jobs that Heaven has to offer both given to the same person. - ----------------- Dominique sat at her desk, wrapped in her black cloak, studying the report one of her servitors had submitted. Were it anyone else, a frown of concentration would probably be visible, but not on her. She had never understood the reasons that humans did such a thing, the only reason she had ever done them was because Eli had told her that it would make others more comfortable and put them at ease. But, she hadn't spoken to him ever since he told her that he was going on walkabout in the Corporeal realm. *** "I've got somethings I need to sort out, Dommie," Eli said. "I'm gonna hang out on Earth for a while until they're done." "Fine," Dominique said absently, reading a report. "I trust that you've made provisions for your servitors?" "Yeah, I've taken care of them," he said, smiling. "You take care now, you hear?" "Do not aid Hell in any way," she reminded him. "No violence to humans, either. I do not wish to hear anything of that sort about you." "So, you're telling me to 'be good?' You trust me, right?" The thought of not trusting Eli had never occurred to her. "Of course." Eli hugged her, causing her to blink in surprise. "Thanks. You have no idea what that means to me, to any of us." *** A polite cough at the doorway drew Dominique's attention from her work. It was her highest ranking servitor, the malakite Laurence. He made his customary gesture of respect to her. "Most Holy, your appointment with Lady Novalis on the Corporeal Realm approaches," he said. "Thank you, Laurence," she replied. "Do you feel that it is necessary to accompany me?" "You are the appointed leader of Heaven's armies," he reminded her. "Your security is my concern. To not accompany you would be to fail in my duties." Dominique rose gracefully. "Then, we shall meet Lady Novalis together." Laurence followed Dominique and descended to the tether closest to the meeting place. Dominique was in her usual tall, blonde female vessel. Laurence was in his customary vessel as well, that of a young man with dark hair and piercing eyes. "Are we appropriately garbed for this meeting?" Dominique asked. "Novalis mentioned something about a 'dress code' at the location." Laurence assured his superior that their dress was appropriate. The two went to the meeting place that Novalis had requested. The two were let in, and upon entering, were assailed by noise and cigarette smoke. Despite the crowd, Dominique knew exactly where Novalis was. She lead Laurence there. "Dominique!" Novalis exclaimed. "It's wonderful to see you!" Novalis hugged Dominique who made a polite attempt at reciprocating the gesture. "Laurence, it's a pleasure to see you again," Novalis continued, giving him a peck on the cheek. Laurence blushed and made a gesture of respect. Seeing his discomfort, she pointed out a man and said, "Abdriel is waiting there. Why don't the two of you talk shop, and Dominique and I will have our girl talk." Dominique gave a slight nod, and Laurence went over to the Cherub who guarded Novalis. "Would you care for a drink before we get down to business?" Novalis asked, already knowing that she would decline. "No," came Dominique's expected response. "David has asked me to investigate why your servitors prevented his from performing an assault on a tether to Lust." "Why does he think that I had anything to do with that?" "It appears that one of your seraph Masters of Peace was there doing a 'pole dance,' though I am unfamiliar with this term. Am I to believe that this is part of her role and she was there by coincidence, her presence unintentionally preventing David's servitors from destroying the tether?" "You are aware of what I am attempting to do with Lust. Wanton destruction of one of his tethers would be a setback. Also, visiting the tether was the demon who had passed on the information regarding Makatiel. Thanks to that information, you were able to arrange with the Game to take care of Disease's pet project before it reached Earth." "I see," Dominique said, digesting this information. "I believe that I shall be able to calm David." The music changed, and Novalis leapt to her feet. "This is my favorite song, I have to dance. You too, Dominique." Before Dominique could protest, she was dragged to her feet and pushed into Laurence's arms, while Novalis took Abdriel as her partner. "C'mon, it'll be good for you," Novalis urged her. There was no reasoning with her when she was like this, Dominique thought. It's best to humor her. Dominique danced with Laurence. She let herself relax in his arms, paying him perhaps the ultimate compliment. The music ended, and she stepped away from him. "My lady, you do me great honor," Laurence said, bowing. "No more than you deserve," she replied. Dominique and Novalis returned to their table. "What is your progress with Lust?" Dominique asked. "It goes slowly, but we knew that it would. I am making progress though, and I am convinced that he will return to us." "Then, continue. Please, bring him back. Bring any of them back." Novalis gave Dominique a worried look. This didn't sound like the usual Dominique. "Is there something that you want to tell me?" Novalis asked, secretly grateful for her companion's seraphic nature and inability to evade questions. "Yes. I want to believe that I am doing well, but there are times when it is difficult..." Novalis patted her hand. "My dear, you should have more faith in yourself. The rest of us do." Their business concluded, Dominique and Laurence took their leave. A few moments after they left the club, a beautiful man sat down across from Novalis. "I could smell his desire for her from across the room," Andrealpheus said. "I take it that your dear general is blind to the feelings of those around her?" Novalis nodded. "She hasn't yet realized that he's in l-" "Don't say it," he interrupted. "You know our arrangement. You do not say that word around me." Novalis was silent for a moment. "He cares for her. Not merely in the way that a servitor cares for his superior, but he cares for the individual. I approve of his devotion. If he were created before the Fall, he would have been a cherub, I'm sure of it." - -------------- The Dominique write-up will follow tomorrow, perhaps with a write-up of Laurence. Depends how much work drains me and how long they go, so as to not call down the 10K wrath of Beth. Fictionish bits to be kept to a minimum. All comments are welcome.

"I appreciate her concern for me, but I wish she would understand that it's none of her business." David: Very strong willed Archangel. A little on the quiet side though. "When she is set on doing something, her will is indominable. Lilith has very strong principles, as if they were written in stone." Dominic: Ever the suspicious one, I can see his fear of failing to prevent his comrades from Falling as the chains binding him to such cynicism. "I admit I do business with her but *only* in the direst of situations. I am not friends with her and I do not like her. Understand?" Eli: I quite enjoy his company, in those rare instances I run into him. He and I are a lot alike. "She's a real party girl and fun to be with whenever we meet. I like her." Gabriel: Fire is the closest element to Freedom in it's nature. I would probably like her if she wasn't insane. "The fact that she walks as an equal to the Archangels and Princes is a sign of the subtlety of God's plans for us all." Janus: He's a fast moving, free spirit. I don't know much about him though, I haven't been able to sit him down long enough to figure him out. "Real fun girl to be with, though she has trouble keeping up with me from time to time." Jean: Cold as he is, I *know* there's a softer side to him just waiting to be freed. "I do business with her when I need to. I don't understand why she's trying to "break my emotional shell" though." Jordi: Among the beasts of creation, the Wild are the most free. He is unusual, the one who does the least business with me. "Among all humans, Lilith is clearly the one closest to her true, wild nature." Laurence: Honor bound as he is, I know he longs to be free from his burdens but cannot do so. If he would just ask, I would happily help him. "I try to avoid working with her when I can, as I sense she has more than she lets on when I am concerned." Marc: We do business quite a lot, though I *always* manage to get the better end of the bargain. "She's good at what she does. REALLY good. If I didn't have it, she'd probably have the Word of Trade." Michael: His attention to me is driven by Need for tactical information. I know I should be insulted, but I rather enjoy the attention. Maybe I will tell him everything I know, for a price anyway. "She's a really sly one, keeping me on my toes constantly. She hasn't really revealed anything on Hell yet, but I think I can make her spill." Novalis: She understands humanity more than any other Celestial, I would rather see her in command of Heaven than anyone else. "I admit her existence has kept and continues to keep some of the more violent plans against Hell in line. I shudder to think what would have happened to humanity if she wasn't as powerful as she is." Yves: Destiny holds things for all of us, and is not as restricting as Fate. "She is far closer to her Destiny that she realizes. If she will remain on that path however, I cannot see." Demon Princes Andrealphus: Lust, in excess, can be quite enslaving. He *thinks* he is toying with me, when I am toying with him. "I'll have her eating out of my hand soon enough. She can't resist me forever. I will have her devotion yet." Asmodeus: He is like Dominic, imprisoned by paranoid suspicion. Unlike Dominic, he has no hope of being freed of it. "I don't trust her, but I cannot deny just how useful her Daughters are." Baal: Just like Michael, really. Only, he is less willing to deal with me for information. "I find great difficulty in convincing her to reveal information on Heaven, but she can be difficult to deal with. Still, I believe that my working to know everything she knows will be worth my troubles." Beleth: Why does she imprison herself so? Trapping herself in the illusion that she no longer loves Blandine? Even I can see how false her little charade is. "My relationship, or lack there of, with Blandine is none of her business. She is fortunate I haven't found her Dreamscape yet. If I did, she would know how dangerous it is to meddle with my affairs." Belial: I have difficulty choosing the lesser of two evils between him and Gabriel. One is insane,the other overly destructive. "She, like all humans, woud be better off burned." Haagenti: Trapped in his own desire to devour, he is absolutely disgusting. Still, there is *some* hope for him. "I don't really like her much, but at least she isn't too meddlesome." Kobal: His sense of humor can be entertaining at times, disturbing in others. I don't really have much of a problem dealing with him. "She laughs at some of my jokes whenever we meet. She can be really funny when she wants to be, though that's not too often." Kronos: I actually prefer Yves, Fate is far more restrictive of Freedom than Destiny. "If I can bring her to her Fate, the destructive effects it would have on Heaven would be incalculable." Malphas: In moderation, he can promote Freedom from being dependents on others. However, his views tends to go too far. "I don't really think she's as human. She's far too manipulative to be one. That's just my opinion though. What do *you* think?" Nybbas: The Media is a powerful tool in freeing humanity. I only hope he doesn't use it to enslave humanity. "She's a natural born star baby!! I can only imagine the ratings if I could get her to star in one of my projects." Saminga: He refuses to respect the Freedom to live, one of the most basic of all Freedoms. I find that unforgiveable. "She says she holds the Word of Freedom right? So why doesn't she understand that people are free to die too?" Valefor: Now, I could *swear* he and Janus are one and the same.......at least he was nice enough to pay me with a Ferrari once. "I really like her. She's really fun to be around, and she'll keep her mouth shut about your felonies, for an appropriate Geas of course." Vapula: He is ready and willing to do business, though I am reluctant to have Lilim under him, considering the hazards of his.......experiments. "If she is really a human, I would love to experiment on her for a while, to see just *why* she's so powerful." <> sidebar <> Celes Celes is a young eighteen year old girl, fathered by a Grigori, supposedly raised by Lilith. Celes appeared when she was fifteen, standing by Lilith when she went to Heaven for a meeting with Novalis. She has been Lilith's personal secretary since then, never leaving Lilith's side. Other than Lilith herself, she alone has access to Lilith's chambers in her mansion's central spire. A fiery young woman, he manifested slight Celestial prowess early on, earning the attention of a few Celestials. Rumor says that Lilith was given the girl by the Grigori father, for safekeeping from Dominic's Servitors. Others say she is Lilith's child, with one of the outcast Grigori Archangels as her father. Unfortunately, not even a Seraph can sense the truth of these statements. In terms of personality, she is more like Michael, who she calls "Uncle Mike", than Lilith. Pragmatic, always thinking tactically, always eager for a fight. Lilith has tried time and time again to quell Celes' fiery temper, but has constantly failed. Michael is quite fond of the young woman, though Lilith is uneager to let her be a Soldier of War. Or Dominic for that matter. She has knowledge of quite a lot of Songs, even a few of the weaker Celestial only ones. Her prowess is growing however, slowly, but surely. Lilith is quite proud of her young secretary, teaching her a Song here and there when she has the time. She has Lilith's sense of style and manipulation skills, Michael's tactical thinking, making her extremely dangerous. <> end sidebar <> Well, that's it.

Some of those are actual phonetic symbols, though; several languages use clicks and pops as part of their repetoire of sounds. Those phonemes are represented by symbols from the top of the keyboard. The language of the !kung of Africa is one example. ObIN: now picture a group of Celestials speaking one of these languages to confuse eavesdroppers (it's not like there are a lot of non-native speakers). Add in rapid fire Wheelspeak and you've got a party! ===== Michael Walton, #US2002023848 "Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff." -- Frank Zappa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
