Sodding hell. I'm not much of one for the TV, but even I don't live under a rock. The city's gone bonkers, it appears and to put it far more kindly than I'm wont to do, Pro-Human sentiment amongst it's citizenry seems at an all time, somewhat violent high. Now, I'm a pessimist by nature, so, take this with a grain of salt if you must, but I'd suggest the Non-Human folk of the Academy take the time to arm themselves with something stronger than goodwill and a desire to talk out their differences. And if you can't afford a tazer or a gun or a bloody great knife, and if you aren't amongst those able to shoot fire from your eyes or lightning from your arse, I could be convinced to show you a few moves to help you in an unarmed or melee fight. I cannot teach you how to be bullet proof. I cannot teach you how to make sense of this kind of disgrace. I CAN teach you how to ensure anyone giving you guff spends the next week exhuming their teeth from the lavatory.

Anyone interested, drop me a private note. I don't often offer my services like this but... desperate times and all that.

I know you can handle yourself, but I've obviously got my own reservations. If anyone gives you a hard time, please do not be gentle about teaching them the error of their ways. I know it will get us both in a spot of hot water, but frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

Uhh... I don't really understand it, but are you saying we need to keep our guard up for a bunch of crazies?

You're the Angel, aren't you?

That is precisely what I'm getting at, yes. The folk in this school not of the Human Race and who, through inexperience or a lack of aggression, might need help in learning how defend themselves can come to me for a few pointers.

Aww no, not THIS again... I thought they were done with this kind of hostility!

Apparently not. Sounds like You've had issues with this before? Hard to believe they'd pick on an Angel, though.

Yeah. It was a long time ago for me, but not so much for the folks here. It's a little hard to forget. Some jerk pulverized me and several other staff members and students and strung us out like dirty laundry. Wrote in blood red letters: FREAKS GET OUT. I don't remember anything except wiping out one moment and waking up in the infirmary the next. It was pretty terrible.

Ah. I'd heard about that, though, second hand information is often lacking. Had no idea they turned on an Angel of all bloody things. You lot are generally fairly highly regarded by Humankind. Actually, where and when I'm from, if an Angel appears to you it's a Miracle and folk are likely to make a saint out of you.

I don't get it either. Guess angels aren't immune to hate crimes either. And I don't think as many people are in awe of me around here as you think.

I suppose it's because you're more available here. Where I'm from, the appearance of an Angel is something you read about in holy books. I daresay the impact of that is lost when you spot one down at the local grocers buying a head of cabbage and a bottle of milk every second wednesday.

Haha! Yeah, probably. Everyone's used to me by now. Well, except the people I just meet who believe me when I say I'm an angel. Then again, everyone's reaction is different.

Frankly, I'm still not sure what to make of it.

Well, I am what I am! You're just gonna have to take my word for it.

But uh... You gonna be okay out there? I mean. I know a lot of humans don't take well to monsters. And, well... You're kind of a monster, right?

Oh, no. Don't get me wrong. I don't disbelieve you. It's just that where I'm from, again, Angels are regarded differently. Disinterested, cold and harsh, forbidding, judge and pawn both at once. Chatting with you is much more like talking to someone pleasant from a far off country than talking to a weaponized extension of Heaven's will. If that makes sense.

I'll be fine. I'm sticking to my woilf form with the express purpose oif drawing attention from other, less capable folk. I've dealt with angry mobs the greater portion of my life. This is no different and I'll weather it just as I've weathered every other collection of angry men to take exception to my existance.

That's pretty noble of you!

I wouldn't call it that. It's just something I can do.
