catching her comment about the weather, rin gave a nod in agreement. He loved the rain, even when it was thundering. Hearing it was honestly an easy way to get him to relax. He had been deathly afraid of it when he was a child, curling into a frightened ball and crying if the thunder ever got to loud, but his father had always been patient with him when it came to explaining that it was just a noise. Now as an adult, he loved the rain though Bagel would protest at both the smell and the sound of it. “where’s that?”, he questioned, raising one eyebrow as he did, “where you’re from, i mean, he clarified, realizing he was being a bit ambiguous.

As a child, rin had constantly been on the move. He had lived across europe, across asia and now he had somehow made it to NYC. no matter where he went, the weather always had a time of year where it just made no sense. A place where the weather was constant and actually stayed true to predictions sounded like heaven.

“i was born in shizuoka, japan but i was only there until i was 9”, he said with a slight shrug, though a fond smile did appear on his face. He may have still been really young but he had plenty of good memories to accompany his time in his birth country. Feeling his phone buzz again, rins fingers drummed against the device in his pocket. Was he being rude by checking his phone? She didn’t seem to mind him checking it the first time but he still felt guilty for almost walking into her because of it in the first place.

Feeling his stomach growl, the reminder that the last time he had eaten had been at 5 AM dawned on him. Food was definitely a good idea. On cue, she agreed to his proposal and he perked immediately, “awesome,” he said in a cheery tone, a happy smile spreading across his features. “theres this little place right across the street and they have the best hot chocolate”, he informed, nodding as if to further affirm his statement.

Starting to walk towards the location, he pulled out his phone again to see what milo and adrian had responded. Flipping to milo, rin couldn’t help but chew on his bottom lip same place as usual?
…
I don’t want to intrude but ill be there
If you need saving from an awkward conversation- im your man

Moving back to adrians contact rins lips ever so slightly turned into a pout
aw dang, i guess this is a good excuse to go to the mall lol
Im glad you’re okay tho *insert the big eye, pouting emoji, aka rin constantly*
Oh btw- i made a friend at the park!! Her name is illaria and shes tagging along

Continuing along the walkway, he shoved his phone back into his pocket. He couldn’t help but give an apologetic look over to the brunette. He didn’t mean to keep checking his phone but the one time it seemed to be active was when he was with another human being. “My friend is meeting us at the coffee shop if thats alright,” he told her, mainly not wanting her to be surprised when they arrived and presumably had adrian come up to them.

“have you lived in new york long?” rin asked as they made the short walk, his curiosity getting the best of him. If this wasn’t the weather she was used to then that meant she had to have moved here from somewhere else- ah what a good detective he was. “what made ya want to move here?", he quickly added in. everyone always had some aspirations that lead them to new york if they weren’t originally from there and rin loved hearing them. “for me it was architecture", he added, his tone quieter as he lost himself in thought, memories of his hardships to accomplish what he had flooded his thoughts.

Looking up, he realized they had come up to the little shop sooner than he had expected and outside of it, he could see adrian peeking in through the window. Chuckling at the sight he motioned over to where the other stood. “thats my friend- adrian.. Let me go get him" he excused himself before jogging over towards him. Placing his hands on adrians shoulders he murmured a quiet boo! before chuckling and motioning over illaria. “illaria- adrian, adrian- illaria” he introduced, bouncing on his heels again, “now lets go inside because my toes are cold” he said with tinkling laughter before opening the door for them to both go in.

Assigned Angel: Roman
Location: Café
Tagged: Roman

Amber laughed softly, tilting her head. "How have you never had the opportunity to drink?" She asked, looking more confused than before. Was the man born in a cellar? Or in a cave far from civilization? And if so, how on earth did a man bound to the woods or something get the people skills to run a bar in NYC? There were a lot of questions swirling around in her head, but maybe Roman was just nervous? She couldn't blame him; she was absolutely terrified. And she could only imagine someone who never drinks walking into a bar in Brooklyn of all places with a staff that all know each other and can tell even the smallest of emotional changes from across the entire space. She watched his features contort and for a brief moment wondered if she overstepped her boundaries already by asking a personal question, "Actually, nevermind. Not my business," She dismissed quickly, voice raising in pitch slightly as she leaned away slightly, wiping her hands on her leggings.
"Uh, you know, drinking before the shift even starts is not normally the way to go," She told him somewhat awkwardly, rubbing the back of her neck and staring down towards her tea. "Maybe a beer or a shot or something. But I'm not letting you mix your drinks. Not like that, anyway," Juices, sure. Clears with colors absolutely not. She refused to be the employee that makes her boss sick, although the idea of watching the poor guy drink their vodka for the first time almost made her amused; it would have if she was confident it wasn't going to kill him. Maybe he'd get a kick out of some of the drinks they make. If the guy never even heard of tequila, she was sure there was a layered drink she could probably make that would confuse the life out of him. Or make a rainbow row: that seemed to blow people's minds on a routine basis. Her mind was already mulling over different possibilities when, hoping to the heavens she wasn't about to kill the poor man tonight.
She tilted her head as the man began to speak again, offering a small smile. "Oh, no, I can't take any...uh, payment," She wasn't sure what else to call it as she gestured towards the muffin and tea, "This is just fine. I mean, I'm not on the clock, and that's kind of, maybe, illegal?" She told him more as a question than a statement. Did this even count as under the table work? Was this a meeting? Geez, she was not the best adult out there at times. "No, well maybe not...? Anyway, uh, no worries," She finally settled on, feeling substantially more awkward than she hoped it would: like she was on a first date in high school trying to figure out if it was a date by who payed, followed by awkward fumbling for a check or something of the sort. She would have felt absolutely terrible taking his money, and immediately felt a bit wary of some of her other bartenders, who would certainly use a question like that to their advantage: 'how much do you want?'. "Thank you for taking the time to chat. It was nice, and again I'm really sorry about being late," She told him with a soft smile and an apologetic lowering of her head.

"Where are you from?" At this question, her heart dropped. If she were being totally honest, she hadn't planned this out beforehand. To make matters worse, she really didn't know much about the US's geography either besides the states and their major cities. "Umm... California," she decided. The state was pretty big, there had to be some place where the weather was steady, right? Hoping her inward panic wasn't present in her voice, she covered it up with a smile. Rin mentioned being from Shizuoka and she raised her eyebrows intrigued, she had never even been to the US before a few weeks ago, let alone Japan. Based on her vague knowledge of Earth, she knew it was an island off the coast of East Asia, but knew nothing of the climate there. Deciding to keep on the weather topic, she asked, "so Japan, what was the weather like there?"

As they walked towards the little coffee shop, she noticed that Rin's phone went off quite a bit. Humans and their techno-
logical devices were strange. She didn't know how they had invented them being as complex as they were. Rin mentioned meeting his friend at the coffee shop and she tried her best to hide the annoyance on her face. Great. Now she was going to have to deal with yet another mortal when she found herself hardly capable of handling one. She had better think of a backstory quickly. As if on cue, Rin asked her a few more questions regarding her being in New York. "I just moved here a few weeks ago actually, so I'm still pretty new to the area." she answered with a small smile. She was pleased with how easily she found herself answering this round of questions. "Maybe you could... show me around sometime?" she asked innocently. Yes. Good one Michael! She held her breath, silently hoping he would agree. If he did, it would give her another reason to see him again, which would get her one step closer to getting back home. She also answered the next question with ease, hoping her answer wasn't too vague. "I don't know really, something just kind of drew me here. I'm glad I came though, New York is beautiful." The last part wasn't really a lie. When she first came to Earth, she found herself staring in awe at the New York skyline. The skyscrapers, Central Park, she fell in love with all of it. Now the people... that was a different subject, but it really was no wonder that Rin thought the same about the architecture. It was strange, but she was actually starting to enjoy spending time with him.

Eventually they reached the coffee shop. It was a lot smaller than she expected, but it did have some charm. It was a quaint little shop on the edge of the block, and looking through the windows, it was rather full. Rin caught sight of his friend and jogged over to get him. He motioned her over and she hesitantly followed. "Nice to meet you." She added a smile, hoping this newcomer was as agreeable as her charge. She chuckled at Rin's comment about his toes being cold and then followed the two inside.

indent"of course." thunder whined when milo gave him a final pet, still holding the tennis ball in his jaws. she watched as he turned away to cross the street, staying in place for a few moments to make sure he made it across safely before she gently pulled her dog up onto the side-walk, heading in the direction of the apartment she shared with her roommate. thunder walked patiently beside her, not letting go of the tennis ball. she made sure he stayed at her side as they passed by people, not wanting him to jump or knock into anyone. she doubted most people would care, she received plenty of curious looks from passerby citizens as she crossed the street. she lived in a nice apartment building not far from central park, in one of the more prestigious neighborhoods. it was quite a bit away from the animal hospital she worked at, so her roommate cynthia often had to drive them there during the week-days because, well, ariel couldn't drive and she had no car. luckily, new york city seems to be very much a walk-friendly city so you can get anywhere on feet, even if he takes a while. still, the animal hospital she worked at wasn't exactly close by so she often had to get a ride there to work.
indentafter walking a block or two, she arrived at the apartment building. she made her way up the stairs, thunder trotting alongside her as she entered the lobby. she had to take the elevator up to the apartment. she didn't like elevators very much. she was always afraid she was going to get stuck in one or the mechanics were going to snap and it'd end crashing down since the building had at-least ten or so stories. after the elevator arrived on her floor, she made her way down the clean hallway and to the apartment she shared with her roommate. she fished her key out of her pocket and opened up the door, unhooking thunder's leash and letting him run aside. judging by the silence that met her, cynthia wasn't home. her car probably wasn't parked out on the street, either. typical, she was rarely home on the weekends. ariel made sure that thunder's food and water bowl were replenished before she quickly took off her jacket, tossing it across one of the recliners. while it was not exactly hot outside, it'd most likely warm up by the late afternoon now that it was no longer cloudy and she didn't want to be stuck hauling around a coat. she was wearing a white sundress that was decorated in cherries. she had put it on earlier without realizing it was cold outside and, not in the mood to change, had decided to don on a jacket instead. now that it was warming up, it seemed like appropriate attire to wear. she rather liked some of the fashion humans have created and she's become endeared by the color red.
indentafter grabbing her purse, she left the apartment, locking it behind her before heading to the elevator and back down to the lobby. she didn't want to take too long and keep milo waiting. that wasn't very polite, especially when she had reassured him she'll not be that long. she left the apartment building and hopped down the stairs, waiting for an elderly couple to pass before she headed down the sidewalk and back towards the central park area. there was something oddly soothing about walking down the sidewalk with others passing her by, some chatting with one another and others leading their pets on leashes. while the human race certainly has its flaws, their way of life was... interesting and it felt almost surreal to be amongst them when she's spent thousands of years observing them.
indenteventually, ariel reached the coffee shop milo had gestured towards earlier. she reached forward to push on the door, frowning when it wouldn't open. hello? she looked down, realizing the bold word pull were etched on the glass. oops... anyway. she looked around briefly, hoping nobody saw that before she opened up the door, heading inside. she was greeted by the smell of brewing coffee and baking pastries, combined with the sound of people talking and what sounded like a guitar playing. despite not seeing his face - as his back was to her - she could already tell that the man standing near the counter was milo. but she felt a strange feeling grow over her, and an odd itch developed in her back. it felt like a twitch, like how it felt like when she had her wings. it took her a moment to realize that she wasn't the only angel in here. she was surprised to see that some of the few in here were raphael and roman. despite them all being condemned to mortal forms for now, she could still sense who they were. what a coincidence, they all ended up in the same cafe. maybe god was not being too harsh towards them after all. she noticed they were talking to humans, though. their charges? she wasn't sure but now was not a good time to interrupt if they are.
indenther attention turned towards the sound of a guitar playing. whoever was playing it sounded pretty good. as soon as her eyes landed on the guitar's player, though, she was shocked. it was her. don't ask ariel how she knew, she just did. she felt it. it was her charge! her human. well, that sounded a bit weird in her head but point standing, the girl playing the guitar was her charge. she couldn't explain how she knew but she just did. she met the brief description she was given, too. her luck was finally turning around. she was near the far wall, playing her guitar while people chatted with one another and ate. she could see some people approach her to briefly tip before going to sit back down. was she playing in some sort of gig? she's noticed that some businesses seem to have live entertainment. so was she a musician? ariel didn't know. she would have to approach her, yes but what could she say? she did not want to come off too strong or strange and possibly scare her off. she was still playing her guitar so ariel would probably have to wait until she was done to approach her. maybe she could offer to get her something from the menu? agh, she didn't know. she'd have to wait.
indentshe moved her attention away, instead approaching the counter where milo seemed to be standing and waiting for his order. "hey," she greeted him genially, placing a gentle hand on his back so he'd know it was her and not accidentally startle him. she quickly moved her hand away, though, not sure if he liked being touched or not. "what'd you get from the menu?" she asked curiously. she's never been here before and she's only ordered coffee a few times since coming to earth, so her knowledge was limited. she didn't get time to gouge an answer from him, though because it seemed one of the baristas - a teenage boy who looked like he'd rather be anywhere else right now - approached her from behind the glass counter. "can i help you?" he asked her. ariel flushed, not expecting to be put on the spot right away. "uh..." she trailed off, looking up at the menu. why is there so many choices? she sucked at ordering sometimes, especially when the menu is so huge. "what's the salted caramel sweet drink?" she asked curiously. there were no clear ingredients on the menu - just pictures of the drink - so she had no idea what was in it. the barista looked annoyed. "it's a mocha cappuccino with caramel sauce with sea salt and toffee nut syrup." he made it sound like ariel should know that off the bat. what is up with some of these people and their attitudes? she thought to herself but feeling pressured to order, she replied. "i'll have that with a cinnamon roll, please." she paid for the drink and pastry, putting in the tip jar despite how curt the worker was being to her prior.
indentone of the other employees came over to hand ariel her cinnamon roll while they went to make her drink. she gave her thank you to the woman, surprised on how big the cinnamon roll was. she could throw this at someone's head and probably daze them. she looked at milo. "want some?" she offered, already willing to rip off a chunk and give him some despite just meeting him.

Finishing up her donut, she nodded at the question. “Yeah. I was born here, and decided to stay. It’s home I guess,” she said through a tight lipped smile. As much as it was home, it was also the place she wanted to escape the most in the world. Yet so many things chained her to this state, that she didn’t think she’d ever be able to leave. “Chicago. That seems nice, I’ve never been. I heard they have an amazing aquarium,” she said, trying to keep her voice light. She took a sip of her coffee, and tried to ignore how the umbrella she carried was making her hand cramp. Why did Grace even bring it along if it was just going to become sunny in like five minutes. Her attention was drawn to the door as a familiar face walked in with two other people at his side.

Rin was probably the most outgoing person she had met in New York. Ever. He was a total sweetheart and probably couldn’t hurt a fly if he tried. She had met him at a party once, and was probably so far gone she couldn’t see straight, but they became friends nonetheless. The two people at his side she hadn’t met before. One was a woman who radiated intimidating energy, but also seemed to have a warm aura around her as well. The other was a tall man with golden brown skin that she also never seen before. She was about to wave high when another familiar face walked in. She swore under her breath as she caught sight of who it was. She had known Milo for quite some time now, and she could one hundred percent say she found him a little annoying. Though he was an old friend, so it wasn’t like they didn’t get along all the time. Both of them wanted to forget about their past, but seeing someone who knew exactly the type of person she had been and who she was now was a little daunting. Especially since she had only gotten worse.

She turned back to Raphael, and gave an apologetic look for spacing out. “Sorry I know a couple people who just walked in,” she said as she turned back to look as another person entered the cafe. A woman with golden blonde hair walked in, and went straight for Milo. They both seemed to be pretty friendly with each other. Interesting. “Hey, I’ll be right back. Sorry again! I'll buy you another donut,” she said to Raphael before moving towards Milo and the mystery woman. With a mischievous grin on her face, she stopped right behind them. “Hey buddy! How ya doing?” she laughed while slapping his shoulder and grinning as her gaze moved from him to the girl. “Well..Aren’t you going to introduce me to your girlfriend? I’m Nadia by the way,” she teased jokingly, while holding out her hand to the girl in a friendly manner. They usually had this type of banter, she just hoped he wasn't all cranky like he usually was.

indentAs Nadia walked away Raphael realized just how many angels were in that little coffee shop. There were far too many to be coincidence; it seemed God was still looking out for them after all, even in their current situation. He took note of each angel, knowing all of them by name. Aside from Roman, Ariel and Michael had also entered the coffee shop as well. His lips quirked up slightly at seeing his fellow archangel, one of his oldest companions. It would have come as no surprise to anyone versed in theology that Raphael and Michael were close, being two of the most important figures in Heaven. They had been there since the very beginning, part of the first batch of angels ever created, and had been present for Lucifer's fall. They would have went to Hell and back for each other, both literally and metaphorically. He knew following his charge would likely be seen as in invasion of space, especially since they had just met, so he made his way over to Michael. He slung his arm around her shoulder, his small grin morphing into a smirk. "Hey, little sis! It's been a while, hasn't it?" He glanced over at the two humans she was standing with. Was one of them her charge? Most likely. That didn't mean he wasn't going to embarrass his dear sibling a little. "Mind telling me which one of these two gentlemen is your boyfriend so I can give him a stern talking to?" It seemed he had more in common with Nadia than it first seemed. Raphael was one of the few angels who dared tease Michael, not that the other seemed to mind. He was thankful that he and Michael had been vessels with similar traits. While there was an age gap between the two, he could always say that their parents had a lot of children, or that he was only a half-sibling.

adrian sent another text to rin after reading his reply.
yeah, i guess so haha
and okay! lmk when you get here (:!
almost immediately after pocketing his phone, a pair of hands latched on to both of his shoulders, causing adrian to let out a strangled, high-pitched noise of surprise. despite this, he instantly relaxed as he spotted rin, rubbing his eyes as an amused chuckle slipped past his lips. "you scared me so badly," adrian admitted, scratching at the nape of his neck in a sheepish manner.
his hands fell back to his sides as rin introduced him to his friend. he eyed her carefully, surprisingly unsure of what to think. she looked nice enough, though, so he simply offered a small wave. "likewise."
turning back towards rin, adrian's lips quirked up in the ghost of a smile as he mentioned his toes being cold. "well then let's go inside!" he strolled after the two, slipping into the cafe.
his shoulders tensed at the crowded atmosphere, the chatter of other customers ringing loudly in the air. "yikes, who knew it would be this full?" adrian commented with a grimace, glancing towards the long line near the register. his gaze began to wander as the three merged into the line, looking directly across the cafe where a woman was playing the guitar. he instantly recognized her as naomi, who he occasionally ran into when she would perform at various coffee shops around the city. the melody of the instrument was just loud enough to rise above the conversations of everyone in the cafe, yet not so loud to the point where it was distracting. it was nice to listen to, and adrian began to tap his foot to the beat as the line slowly inched forward.
"so you two just met?" adrian's brow arched inquisitively as he looked back towards ilaria and rin. he knew that rin was very easy to get along with, so he wasn't very surprised to hear that the two were already friends. in spite of this, he was still curious.
eventually, they reached the counter, where the cashier enthusiastically greeted them. adrian quietly wondered how she could be so cordial when the cafe was so busy. he knew that he'd be miserable if he were in her shoes, but, then again, he most definitely wasn't a friendly nor social person.
"oh, rin, didn't you say you'd buy me a muffin?" he reminded teasingly, purchasing himself a cup of unsweetened iced tea. he knew he'd be up all night if he got his usual two shots of espresso, but he did need a bit of caffeine in his system, so he was perfectly content with getting tea. he impulsively added a breakfast sandwich to his order after spotting it in all of its glory inside the display case. pulling a few bills out of his wallet, adrian quickly paid before leaning across the counter as his items were handed to him. pausing, he waited for rin and ilaria as they began to order their own food and beverages.
he quickly spun around as another man approached the three, watching in confusion as he flung his arm around ilaria's shoulders. "uh-" he trailed off, unsure of how to respond.

wait, illegal? what even are human laws. with a scoff, roman leaned back against the couch. "okay, forget i even offered." the entire interaction was exactly like what he had heard of 'rollercoasters,' confusingly turbulent, and at the end of it all he felt even more confused about human morals and motivations. did people not work for money? were services not usually paid for? he really should have brought a notebook with him. perhaps the timing of payment was the flaw. maybe the way he offered it? he would look into it more, perhaps with a different human. he supposedly had more employees than just amber, so surely he could practice all night at the bar. "i still want to practice the mixing. i don't really care how they taste, but we can use customers as test subjects to see if i'm any good at it." with a confident nod, he glanced at his phone screen for the time. it was nearing 12:30pm. after some quick calculations, he turned back to amber, "no need for the apology. at least you showed up, right? i'm thinking we can meet at the bar around 3pm and you can show me how to bartend. tend? tend the bar?" he shrugged and pocketed his phone. "i'll go with 'tending of the bar.' i know it's primarily your job to do that but i should really get some practice in, i think."

as he made up his mind, the cafe began filling up with not only more people, but definitely more angels. roman's brows furrowed as he eyed ariel and michael, surrounded by humans. he pouted. how come i don't get along that well with my human?? he huffed and nearly crossed his arms before remembering his company. "oh. sorry, i, uh, know those guys." he offered a sheepish glance at amber and directed her gaze toward the few people by the counter. raphael soon joined them and roman nearly smiled. "and suddenly, it's crowded. i should introduce you." without waiting for her response, he stood and dusted off his jeans. after a quick breath to settle his stupid mortal nerves, he approached the front of the cafe, sidling up beside raphael.

"what are you doing bothering these people?" he sucked his teeth playfully, shaking his head as if he were an older sibling or even parent. he was happy to see more angels around, but couldn't help noticing the multitude of humans. he gave a quick nod to rin, nadia, milo, and adrian, then turned back toward amber. "this is amber. she's a very good employee of mine and we'll be at the bar later if you want to stop by." with an almost imperceptive smile, he gestured toward his fellow angels. "you met raph earlier. this is ariel, and that's ilaria. some old friends of mine."

ooc: pls yell at me if i forgot your character there are so many bbs omg
