/Whilst walking amongst the cotton candy trees, comes across a pair of pants with sharks on them.

What is this place.

[dudeofthedunes]

Well this is something different...

[dudeofthedunes]

Other Memory clamored for attention. It was not uncommon for the voices to be demanding, but this time they seemed to express a peculiar urgency. The sharp scent of pine, the ring of joyful laughter; countless memories poured through him. He had seen it before, understood the ancient ritual. But why was it brought before him now?

[dudeofthedunes]

Paul falls out of a dark shroud of blindness, stumbling into sight. The sensation is like being pushed into an icy river.

Again.

“I’d imagine you see quite a lot.”

His tone is serious; there’s a sense of immense sight that he can feel when his mind brushes against the other’s, visions that you don’t necessarily need eyes to see. His features soften sympathetically.

“Something you learn soon enough is that the paths that lead to the greatest reward tend to lead you through the greatest struggle.”

[dudeofthedunes]

"I know that your words are true, and I draw comfort from it. Thousands of years of human experience tell me the same, but somehow it is more reassuring to hear it from an angel."

He continues to look straight ahead, but inwardly surveys their surroundings.

"Why have you come here Gabriel?"

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

gunzerking, dudeofthedunes started following you

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

I’m one of the only angels that does, as a matter of fact. Human life is great.

[dudeofthedunes]

"It is my purpose to preserve it."

He is silent for a moment.

"I see the Golden Path that we must follow to survive. Walking it is not so easy, however."

Millions have been slain in my name, already.

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

gunzerking, dudeofthedunes started following you

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

I’m the one of tradition, yeah, but in no way am I traditional, trust me.

/tilts his head slightly/

You seem quite important yourself, Paul.

[dudeofthedunes]

"You could say that. If you find human life important."

"Do you?"

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

gunzerking, dudeofthedunes started following you

[dudeofthedunes]

He can’t help but chuckle.

“What’s your name?”

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

Gabriel. And yourself?

[dudeofthedunes]

"Paul. You are the Gabriel of Abrahamic tradition, I imagine. An important figure by all accounts."

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

gunzerking, dudeofthedunes started following you

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

As long as it’s not you calling yourself a god, he wouldn’t have a problem.

Well, either that or he’d flip you off and tell you to get over yourself, but the former’s probably more his style.

[dudeofthedunes]

He can't help but chuckle.

"What's your name?"

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

gunzerking, dudeofthedunes started following you

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

My father’s God, not me. I call myself an angel. /dips his head, letting the light glint for a moment off something that wasn’t there before and is not unlike a halo/

[dudeofthedunes]

Paul gives a wry smile, the gleam over the angel's head catching his eye.

"Some people call me a god. I wonder what your father would think of that."

[getoverherebitch]

/Turns abruptly, furrowing his brows as he looks at the other man/

Who are you.

[dudeofthedunes]

/Notes the demonic nature of the man's voice/

I am Paul Atreides. What is your name?

[getoverherebitch]

/Wanders into the Japan Pavilion and spend a good few minutes rooted to the spot, simply staring at everything/

[dudeofthedunes]

"You look right at home."

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

gunzerking, dudeofthedunes started following you

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

/gestures up at the wide expanse of sky above then/

The rolling fields of Elysium, the great hall of Valhalla, whatever your beliefs are. That’s where.

[dudeofthedunes]

The Open Bled... or the great gullet of Shai-Hulud. Do you call yourself a god?

“It is inevitable.”

He looks away for a moment, then back. “Why are you here?”

[adarkecho-deactivated20130512]

ＴＨＥ ＳＡＭＥ ＲＥＡＳＯＮ ＹＯＵ ＡＲＥ.

[dudeofthedunes]

"Ah, but perhaps you could enlighten me as to what exactly that reason is."

Paul raises his eyebrows expectantly.

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

gunzerking, dudeofthedunes started following you

[sacrosanctities-deactivated2014]

Only when the mood strikes me.

Or when I get a hunch I’m going to have to go after some spur-wearing, pistol-wielding bandits.

/mimes shooting some guys with pistols of his own, complete with childish sound effects/

[dudeofthedunes]

He makes no attempt to hide his amusement.

"You're quite an actor aren't you? Where are you from?" 

[cenarianwarmaja]

“Ah”, Vi nodded, smiling a little. “You’ve met Kylar already. I hope he wasn’t any rude, he tends to be like that”. 

[dudeofthedunes]

"He wasn't, though that may have been due to a certain amount of shock at my 'condition'. What else do you know of Kylar?"

[adarkecho-deactivated20130512]

"It is inevitable."

He looks away for a moment, then back. "Why are you here?"
