[The feed is a little shaky as Gabriel walks.]

Well, well, look what I finally found.

[He pauses to pan the camera around the Music Room. But he's not giving away any clue as to where it ended up this time. He'll turn the camera on himself, flashing pearly whites in an almost overly friendly grin.]

And aren't you in for a treat. [His other hand brings up a Trumpet, fingers pressing on the valve buttons as they make little clicks.]

See you in a bit Wonderland.

[The feed goes off and when it turns on again he'll be setting the device on a surface before backing off. He sits in a large, comfy armchair in his room. The lighting is low, casting shadows by candle-light, but that's how he likes it, that's how it was back home.]

I'm sure those of you unfamiliar with the various stories of me aren't aware I even know how to play. And I thought in light of recent events I could ... share my talent. Since I don't really sing, I thought I could play for you instead.

[He settles into a comfortable position with a brisk clearing of his throat. He licks his lips, flashing a quick glance to the camera before lifting the instrument to his mouth. With a deep breath he closes his eyes and breathes into it to start playing a swinging blues tune. It's not every day you get to hear the Archangel Gabriel blowing his horn without it signalling something huge, so enjoy it.]

Thank you. [ Gabriel puts the trumpet somewhere off-screen, folding his hands in his lap. ]

Hard to believe I know. Our physical manifestations arent very alike but we were brought into existence at the same time. His was the first voice I heard.

[ Not his father but Michael. This fact seems to stick with him more than it normally would. ]

That's fascinating. From what I know of the angels in my world, they need to have a willing host in order to be down on Earth.

[ Bela was sure that there was more she could learn about the different kinds of angels. All she had to do was ask.]

You must have had quite the bond. Michael and yourself. I don't have any siblings at all.

[onlyhomemade]

Ah, are you from the same world as Lucifer and Michael? And what was that other one... Castiel?

[A shrug.]

That is one of the more prominent things that sets us apart. Only our lower ranks require a human vessel, willing or not.

[There's a small smile at the mention of his bond with Michael, it's fond but somewhat bittersweet.]

Yes. We did.

I'm sure being an only child in a human family had it's merits.

[onsilksheets]

I am from that very world. [She wonders if he was aware of the Winchesters.]

Demons possess unwilling hosts- you must have heard of their existence from someone by now.

[Bela is grateful that Wonderland wasn't overwhelmed with demons, knowing the chaos that they could cause.]

It does, yeah. I won't deny that. But it was still lonely at times.

[onlyhomemade]

[He, in fact, has not met the Winchesters yet. But his Mirror did meet Dean.]

Yes. I'm aware. In fact many humans mistook an angel possession as Demonic in nature when it was not. I'm also aware there are a few demons amongst us.

[He chuckles softly.]

As with anything there are positives and negatives to it, having a twin could be frustrating at times.

[onsilksheets]

You've done your homework. I'm impressed.

[The demons here probably couldn’t do much damage to an Archangel but they were still dangerous in their own right. Bela had no desire to anger them.]

I can only imagine the fights you both had. Siblings tend to be compared, twins especially. Being an only child does have its advantages.

[She's quiet for a moment, feeling slightly uncomfortable talking about family. But Bela is quick to recover, passing it off as a pause instead of a negative thought.]

How has Wonderland treated you thus far?

[onlyhomemade]

Would you expect anything less?

[A grin. He's an Archangel of course he did his research.]

Yes, we've fought quite a lot and always seemed to have differing views on things. We're still close, not near as much as it used to be, but we still care for one another.

[He shrugs.]

The only thing I've got to complain about is being turned human and killed by a snake. Part of me hopes that's the worst of it but I suppose we'll see.

You? Something you said before made it seem like you've been here quite a while.

[onsilksheets]

Well, you're right. I have been here for some time, but not as much as others. It's been around fourteen months for me now.

[Enough time she thinks.]

One of the worst things was when I was murdered. Gutted with a knife- at least it wasn't a slow death, I can say that much. Dealing with the undead wasn't particularly fun either, nor killer angel statues.
