*Look who is home, it's Claire! She's walking across campus with her phone framing her face, more or less. She's got a few fresh bruises and a healing busted lip. Anyone who has been here for the past few years know this is just how Claire always looks when she comes back to campus.*

Okay, I'm back and not dead, big shock for everyone I'm sure.

Any new faces I should know about on Aube Floor 4 before I threaten one of my new charges with a knife when I get there? It's been a rough trip and I'm cranky.

*The R.A. for Aube Floor 4 everyone! I swear she's really nice when you get to know- no, no she's a prickly goddamn cactus at the best of times but she won't stab you. Maybe. She probably won't stab you.*

Outland monsters. Ended up on Earth. Knew how to be rowdy.

*Look this is how all her trips home go. Obviously she won.*

Name to go with that face?

[marmoron]

You get ambushed or something?

[Might as well learn a little about attack patterns and the like. He's not that fussed about her safety here; she's clearly capable of taking care of herself.]

Keith. You gonna tell me your name, too?

[bikerbarbie]

A gate opened in town a while back, a bunch of stuff had been hiding out there. They aren't 'end of the world' material so they generally aren't a priority.

I go home to, see my folks, route out another nest.

*Family first. Or something.*

Claire, I help teach combat and research classes when I'm here.

[marmoron]

Low level threats. Ideal training practice. Got it.

[Why is this Keith's takeaway here...]

You any good with a sword?

[bikerbarbie]

*Not exactly it, but close enough.*

I keep one by my bed, took it from the angel who killed my mom.

I try to keep in practice but swords are a bit obvious if you're trying to look like you're not a Hunter.

You any good with one?

[marmoron]

[That's a bit of overshare he wasn't expecting.]

...well, shit. That sucks.

[It's perhaps not the most eloquent way or offering condolences, but the feeling's there.]

I'm trying to get better. Could probably use someone to spar with.

[bikerbarbie]

He got what he deserved.

*Angels don't just let girls take their swords.*

That is exactly my job so. Sounds fun.

[marmoron]

Appreciate it. Let me know when you're free for that.

[A beat. Then he's asking because of course he has to.]

How'd you kill the angel though?

[bikerbarbie]

Oh, that? He was distracted trying to kill another Hunter that was there.

*She's fairly unconcerned, while the moment was big for her. First time she felt like she had any control in her life. It was also a long time ago in some ways.*

So I stabbed him with his own sword. Angel Blades are really good at killing things that normally don't die.

[marmoron]

[His eyes narrow a little when she mentions hunters. It isn't exactly hostile, but his guard up subtly as he speaks.]

So Angels make amateur mistakes, huh. That sword sounds handy to have around.

[bikerbarbie]

Something like that.

*It was outnumbered four to one, and ignored the one person in the room that didn't have a reputation killing angels and monsters, but sure, it was a rookie mistake.*

Unless you have something you know can kill an angel, don't fuck with them. Some of them can't be killed, most of them can only be killed with really specific weapons. That's why they get to be that reckless.

i'm so sorry, i lost this notif

[marmoron]

Hey, it's not like I'm dying to pick a fight with an angel.

[But she is right for having pegged him as someone who definitely needs the warning. Reckless? Keith. Nooooooo.]

What's up with them anyway? Aren't angels supposed to be good or whatever.

[bikerbarbie]

Monsters are monsters, some just have better P.R.

Angels mostly work against demons, but they have very little problem using or murdering people to win that war. Not all of them, but a lot of them.

Basically angels are dicks.

[marmoron]

[That gets a huffed laugh.]

Figures. They're supposed to be working for god, right? That guy seemed pretty much like an asshole in the stories, too.

[bikerbarbie]

Never met him, but I'd probably try to kill him if I did.

*...Look it just seems like a good idea.*

[marmoron]

[Okay butt hat's actually just getting a laugh. Did not think he was going to get along with the RA, but... huh.]

Solid plan. Guy deserves a good ass kicking.
