[Joshua is holding his wrist out before him, smiling at the watch's camera. This thing is interesting... this whole place, really, is interesting to him. He's sitting in a cafe, with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. While aware of his need to spare the money he had for food here- after all he was practically human again- it did good to rest his nerves.]

I've been investigating this extra thirteenth hour in the day as others are calling it. It's quite interesting, really, for more reasons than one. Most interestingly... restrictions on my abilities are lifted during the Thirteenth Hour.

[In other words, he's completely human every other hour of the day, and that's incredibly frustrating.]

I'm perfectly aware that there are those here who are more experienced with this world than I am. I'd like to know more about the Thirteenth Hour, if it's possible. What exactly it is, why it exists, what effects it has on this world... Anything you can tell me~

[Whenever someone won't "confirm or deny", it usually means "confirmed, but I don't want to say so". People are easy.]

Tch. Factoring asymptotes. The Higher Plane doesn't care about the UG at all!

[shibuyasmusic]

Of course they don't. You actually thought that Angels really cared about what goes on in the Realground or the Underground? All they care about is results. The whole world is a stage, and we're they're entertaining little puppets.

[Hanekoma was so much of an exception to other Angels, it was legitimately astonishing to him sometimes.]

.... [Sho looks a little disappointed, but it goes away quickly, replaced by a sour frown] All the more reason for me to climb the ladder so I can look down on the UG like God looks upon ants.

[shibuyasmusic]

Hmm... Well, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors to prove yourself to be worthy of their attention~ You've gotten the attention of one Angel, that's surely a start.

An Angle who's in trouble for helping me. Real useful character reference.

[shibuyasmusic]

Well you're just going to have to try a little bit harder, aren't you~? You know I wouldn't even be surprised if that Angel ends up stabbing you in the back. For entities that are supposed to embody goodness, they're not exactly the nicest people~

[tangentlion]

"Goodness"? Only in folktales. You go to the source and they're all about vengeance and fiery swords. My set of people!!

[shibuyasmusic]

I assure you, they are nothing like their biblical counterparts. They're as much Angels as you are a Grim Reaper. It's strange, really, very organized like one harmonized, societal machine. The Higher Plane represents order.

I wouldn't think they'd be 'you're set of people' at all, Minamimoto.
