[ there's the sound of feathers rustling from behind ulrika, not long after the bottle is sent, and - tada! baraqiel. although, their cloak falls around them in such a way that their body is obscured, so who's to say there are wings?
their daemon's nowhere to be seen at the moment, which is a little unsettling, but here they are. ]
When we expected all of you to find ways to occupy yourselves while we figured things out on our end, we weren't exactly expecting multiple bodies.

[ sorry, Baraqiel, you're just trying to do the small talk Ulrika requested, but she's busy flinging her hands up and yelping: ]
Whoa! Where the heck did you come from?! Is that Holmes guy one of you too, I knew that thing he was doing was weird!

Oh wow, you really can fly? With your wings or whatever you've got?
[ maybe you fly with magic gems or something ]
That's incredible! What's it like?

[ they shift, bringing both their arm up and unfurling a wing - it lifts their cloak, but also shows her one of their wings. ]
Yes, with wings. And it's not that unusual for me, but it's - enjoyable, I guess. It stopped being exciting.

Really? Can't you do like, loops and stuff?
[ that sounds Massively Exciting to her ]
[ that sounds Massively Exciting to her ]
Because you all've been looking for our stuff? Or the whole conflict thing Shamsy mentioned?
[ at some point she'll look at all the Watcher names and have an 'aha' moment of realizing they all end in -iel, and it'll become a lot easier to remember their names. ]

That's right, you guys aren't from here... Are you guys angels? Like the ones in the notes we found.

Oh, same here! So then... how'd you end up drafted as an angel or whatever? Did someone just give you your feathers one day?
[ is that how angels work? you point at a person and say "it'd look better with wings"? ]

... Seriously, where do you guys keep coming from?
[ "Ulrika it's teleportation" do you think she reads ]
Your boss hasn't bothered to fill you in on all this stuff? What, they couldn't be bothered to have a morning meeting?

[ neat ]
Huh? "Respective"? I thought you all worked for the same boss.

That's dumb.
[ the boss is dumb ]
What if you stage a protest? Or... an uprising? You won't listen to them until your demands are met!

What if you stage a protest? Or... an uprising? You won't listen to them until your demands are met!
Because... there's only... one boss?
[ you can't have a bunch of bosses together, that's a recipe for disaster ]
Don't tell me this is a "our bosses can't agree with each other so they made a bet" thing again.

I can't believe this tyranny - I go from the Chairwoman to this?
[ siiiiigh ]
Can you tell me what they look like? If it doesn't hurt you or anything - I don't want you to turn into dust!

Chairwoman...?
[ what ]
No, I didn't talk to them directly, just... a couple of their people. They looked kind of like this, but all over.
[ holding out a hand, and yes it's gloved but ulrika can see the tips of their fingers, glowing gold with that shimmery dust. ]
