[Gray. The opening shot is all dim gray and dusky, a boring shot of a concrete wall stained with black ash, before too-bright blue-white light knifes through the picture again, causing horrible screaming static for a brief moment. Everything whirls before the PCD lands, now pointed up at a derelict ceiling. From far off, noise can be heard: footsteps, crackling electricity, a low electric tinny and hard breathing. After a long minute the picture shakes again, lifting and turning around to show Raphael's face.

She looks, for lack of a better word, like shit. For an angel she looks exhausted, with faint circles under her eyes. Her skin has a papery quality that is strongly evocative of Lucifer. Face rot dots her hairline and a small spot on one side of her jaw, again very like what Lucifer suffers from. Despite coming out of a terrible event (for which she was a complete hermit, speaking to and seeing no one), there's obviously something else on her mind.]

The Archangel Michael is gone. You would do well to never speak his name again where we can hear it.

[ooc note: anyone going to find her will find her in the Wastes. Yes, even if they poof to her side immediately, angels. She can hustle.]

If I could offer anything else, Lady, I would.

[She doesn't relax an inch, but she lets a few seconds lapse before giving her reply.]

There is nothing.

I know, Lady Raphael. The best I am able to offer is prayer, and that, I shall give freely and in abundance.

[She is genuinely sad about being unable to help, but what can a mere human do? She gives another deep curtsy.]

Then by all means, do so.

[She still looks severe and is standing too tall, face betraying not the slightest trace of feeling.]

[She nods. That the archangel looks severe does not bother her. Such divine beings cannot be expected to act as humans would, and the Lady is not angry with her.]

I shall leave you in peace, Lady Raphael, with your permission.

[Raphael nods once, in dismissal.]

You have it.

[And she gives one final, formal curtsy before ending the feed.]
