[frontierbashir]

I cannot thank you enough for your help earlier.

[coalitions]

You're welcome, Julian. I am grateful he attacked me and not someone unaware possession was an option.

[frontierbashir]

As am I.

Not just that, but someone with enough skill to attempt incapacitation.

[ Instead of, yknow, out right killing. ]

Also, what was that word you said to Garak? Was that your native language?

[coalitions]

We were trained restraint can be as powerful as force.

Yes, my native tongue is Trigedasleng. The word niron translates to loved one. I did not think you were married, or the word would have been houmon.

[frontierbashir]

[Lexa can't see him but his brain is currently short-circuiting at the words and a flush rises up to his cheeks.

Is that what she really thought?

It takes him a couple of minutes ]

I'm not certain where you got that idea from--Garak and I are just friends.

[ Her two choices were "loved one" or "married"--what in the world--?! ]

[plainsimple]

I don't suppose you're still near the base and would be willing to return my bat? Or you'd know where I could find something a little more long-lasting than a gun?

[coalitions]

If Clarke doesn't have any more there, find Ziggy Stardust. He is making blades and weapons for people, he made mine. He has some super ability involving the creation of them.

[plainsimple]

That cannot be an actual name, can it? Whether it is or not, I will find him. Thank you.

[coalitions]

It is the name he gave on the network, but he told me in person his name is Roy. Are you doing well?

[plainsimple]

I've escaped the good doctor, if that's what you're asking. If something was still amiss he would have stopped me.

And Roy sounds much more like a human name. Stardust sounds like what they'd name a restaurant. They as in the humans from my universe, of course.

[stagethreeclinger]

beep beep, delivery
i have a pile of foam pretendsies weapons with your name on it
thinking the authorities are not going to be super thrilled about fake weapons sooo how do you want to make this exchange?

[coalitions]

Bring them to Red Wings for now, if you can get them there. I can help you if it will take trips.

I appreciate it. It is not the ideal, but it is a place to start.

@arsenal

[stagethreeclinger]

i'll pay you 20 bells to shave bellamys eyebrows in his sleep

[coalitions]

[Somewhere she's laughing out loud.]

Do you know how weird he'd look without them? It'd be cruel.

[stagethreeclinger]

yeah duh thats the point
its not that cruel
they'll grow back
after a few weeks
its like baby cruel

[coalitions]

Do you know how bushy they'll be when they grow back? We're talking bushier than now by twice.

@castiel.winchester, post aerie return

[unwings]

[ oof. so, that was a lot. this universe, whatever force controls where they're sent, who slips into what dream, what memories are twisted and twined together, seems committed to tying castiel and lexa's lives together. perhaps these gods they're seeking through realities see something in the two of them worth nurturing, and cas can't disagree. lexa's a unique, proud, capable woman with wisdom beyond her years, and cas has benefitted from that more than once now. beyond that, there's a strange parallel to them, in how they were raised, what they were taught.

if nothing else, the aerie proved to him that she's a bond worth protecting and furthering. ]

It's difficult to find words for any of what shared memories we're carrying with us now. Any besides thank you, I'm sorry, and I hope you're well.

Things like this, familial bonds and friendships, I know they were taught to you as weakness. They were to me once as well.

There's immense strength to be gained from these bonds too, Lexa. If you're willing, I'd like the chance to share that with you.

[coalitions]

[ Lexa wakes up with the whole slew of people, plucked right out of that reality and faced with another version of herself. Since returning to her body it has been a confusing adjustment. She already liked Castiel, having told Clarke he was one of her 'chosen' new people. But seeing the message causes a variety of emotions she is not ready for. This goes against everything she was taught, everything she is supposed to be. ]

How were they to you once?

[unwings]

I'm an Angel of the Lord.
Or, I was, before New Amsterdam.
We're created as soldiers, made to be blindly, unquestioningly loyal, without soul or emotion.
Humans are our charges to protect, but only that.
Growing close to them, developing sympathy, fondness. We're told it's weakness, that it would cripple and diminish us, leave us vulnerable.

You wouldn't recognize the person I was 12 years ago, when I first met Sam and Dean.

[coalitions]

You do understand.

[ That is monumental to her because it is impossible to fully explain this to others. Even Clarke who knows her heart cannot understand the importance of being Heda. It's a fight they've had over her daughter becoming it, and Lexa's insistence that it is an honor and she cannot 'fix' Madi. To her, it is still a sacred position. It is who she is. Everything she is.

But maybe not. Her story didn't end there. ]

I have been hoping to bring my people here. I haven't lost that hope. If anything, more gods mean more opportunities. But a part of me thinks I need them so I can fulfill my purpose again. I am meant to be a symbol, not a person. If they come here I cannot be weak.

@cassian.andor

[evasives]

[ he knows lexa kept her kestrel tattoo, just like jack and himself, so she is one of the first people he thinks to reach out to after the discussion with jack about the johann grey dreams. he wants to find out if it was just a certain number of them as jack suggested, and they won't get anywhere unless they ask. ]

Have you had any odd dreams lately?

[coalitions]

A few since the Aerie, but there was one strange one with the man who was in the room with the gods. Johann Grey.

[evasives]

I will be straight to the point and say that is what I was hoping to ask and hear.

I had one about him too, as did two others, also former kestrels. Did this Grey dream take place in a restaurant?

[coalitions]

Yes. The location around us kept changing. He wouldn't answer any of my questions, he just said "The Four Horseman has a great reputation." I've never heard of it. Is that a place we know?

He and the Gold god did power the Kestrels. Those of us still connected to that power through the tattoo, we may still be connected to him.
