(001)(video)

[learnyourplace]

[Rachel manages to startle herself while poking around at the appliances in her small, starter apartment. With her NV in one hand as she does, it comes as no surprise that she turns it on as she backs away from an exploding toaster.

Obviously, she shouldn't be allowed near a kitchen. It's probably a good thing she doesn't need to eat. There's a moment of her just looking at the counter top -- then at the NV and her head tilts a bit to the side.

It probably shouldn't be on.] Oh. [She fumbles with it, trying to turn off the feed and finally, fed up, tries to turn it off via angel mojo. She only succeeds in blowing up a lightbulb. She looks very put-upon, very frustrated, hiding a thread of fear underneath it. She is not ready to let other know she's here. That choice has been taken from her, because of her own carelessness.

... She still can't find the right button to push.]

You um- press the button on the side.

[learnyourplace]

[Oh. That's simple enough.] Thank you.

[Oh, man. He knows what it's like to break things by accident. Though not without even touching them. That's a bit different.]

You're okay, right Miss? [It seems like the thing to ask, even though there's not a scratch on her and she doesn't look startled or anything. Asking if she's okay is just polite.]

[learnyourplace]

[If anything, she just looks frustrated. Rachel gives the device a narrow-eyed look and nods.] Of course. Who are you?

[Video]

[vw_coyote]

[She's seen more than one angel fail at something so simple.]

Are you alright?

[video]

[learnyourplace]

Yes, yes. Of course. How do I turn this thing off?

[video]

[vw_coyote]

I'm not sure. There should be a button that has red on it. Press and hold that and it will usually turn it off.

My name is Mercy, by the way.

[learnyourplace]

[She sighs; she'd like nothing more than to turn off the device and move on, but she's been seen and she does need some information.]

Rachel. Are you also a new arrival?

[meddler]

Not familiar with the technology?

[ Which is surprising because his was... almost tailor-made to him. Curiouser and curiouser. ]

[hybrid_prodigy]

[Part of him instinctively shrinks from the narrow-eyed look, but just a little.] Well, I'm sure you'll learn how to keep your powers from breaking stuff eventually. I know I did. [Mostly.]

Oh. [Polite little bow of greeting.] My name's Gohan.

[got_it_memorized]

[A low, appraising whistle.] Man, and I thought I had issues with kitchens not liking me. I think you win.

[integrity]

Might want to stay away from the sharp objects.

I hear you can be kind of a bitch with them.

[Pause.]

It's also the button on the side, for your future reference.

[learnyourplace]

I know how to-- [She cuts herself off. Right, of course she does. The evidence is right there, after all.]

Rachel. My name is Rachel.

Rachel.

[Poor thing. Zachariah tries his best not to look amused.]

I see you're getting plenty of advice. If you'd like a more general technology tutorial later, I'd be happy to help.

[learnyourplace]

No. This is not in my realm of experience. [She tends to rely on telepathy.]

[video]

[learnyourplace]

[There's a moment of hesitation.] Win what?

[paterelohim]

Uh... how did you explode a toaster?

[video]

[got_it_memorized]

[Insert Fry squint here. Not sure if being facetious or actually clueless.]

The Not Allowed in the Kitchen Award, obviously. I've set off the smoke detector once or twice, but I'm pretty sure I never actually blew anything up.

[learnyourplace]

[Michael had said that Crowley was here. Rachel's frustration with the technology is forgotten when she actually sees him. She straightens, her chin jutting out.]

Crowley. [Her tone says it all: so not happy to see you.]

[Video]

[integrity]

Rachel.

[With every ounce of warmth that Rachel lacks, just to spite her.]

So we finally meet. The pleasure is mine.

[She's uncertain in the face of Zachariah's answer. She has nothing against him personally, but she can't help but wonder what he would think if he knew that she eventually sided with Castiel. As such, her answer is a little hesitant.]

I'm fairly certain I can figure it out.

[learnyourplace]

I could demonstrate. [It's completely dry, erring on the side being completely serious.] Even a prophet is here?

[Video--Private]

[ofthursday]

[Oh, Rachel.

He'd known when she'd arrived, her presence a bright spot appearing in the midst of all the other beings in the Port, but seeing her is something else even if it's just through video. Her loss is still recent, and considering the circumstances of her death, it's both welcome and unsettling to see her face. He missed her, and at the same time, he'd killed her.

He spends some time deciding if he's going to say anything or not, because surely she doesn't want to speak to him if she's arrived after her death even if he misses her. But what if she's from before? And even if not...

They have things they need to discuss, if they're going to be here together.

So, finally, Castiel turns on his feed, though he's certain to make it private. He looks about how she would remember him from the war, tired and stressed and dangerous at the edges, but also less intense than before. He's been through a lot since he'd first arrived here.]

Hello, Rachel.

[video]

[learnyourplace]

Obviously [and she says it in the same tone he'd said the word] you are not trying hard enough.

[paterelohim]

Ah- that's okay, I think I'm good. Oh, me? Oh yeah, I've been here for- almost a year now.
