018 [Written, because he's in the infirmary still and he has some decorum... Y'know somewhere]

[uberboned]

Okay!

On a list of things I never want to do again, that is way, way, way up there. On the plus side, I can actually move without feeling like I'm gonna black out any second over here, so, in case you were  worried, the archangel will pull through. Thank you all for your concern.

On that note, if you guys find the son of a bitch that caused this? I've got five things I'd like to say to him and then five more things to say to him in response to whatever he says after that. And then I'm probably gonna put him through a wall. Okay? Okay. Just so we're all clear on that.

[[OOC: So Gabe's still in the infirmary, despite having almost recovered from his Death Toll, because he won't leave until Max is better. You can assume he's been sitting in a chair beside her cot this entire time, refusing to move and probably either giving people wary looks or sleeping. People still stuck in the infirmary/infirmary staff/whatever can feel free to spam off this post if they'd like. I dun care. XD]]

Private- Because a lot of people who would be really unnerved by the possessive. >.>

I'm not gonna kill him, Howie. I'm just gonna explain the ten reasons why you should never, ever hurt what's mine. 'Kay?

I didn't think you were actually going to kill him.

...it was more the putting through a wall that worried me. And the fact you didn't exactly try to discourage other people from wanting to kill him, either.

[the-ironman.livejournal.com]

Roger. Through a wall.

How're you going to do that?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Don't have to be.

[STELLA'S GOT HER GROOVE BACK. Yes, madness and witchcraft and angel powers and have a glass of water, Mrs. S. If she's nearby, she will probably see him kissing his own hand and going, "Baby, I missed you." HE LIKES HIS ANGEL POWERS, OKAY? :|]

...It doesn't make me feel much better, though. How're you doing?

People are gonna do what they're gonna do. If they all wanna go insane and take this guy down, then whatever. Not my problem. This boat's a hop, skip, and a polka away from organized anarchy and nothing's gonna change that, pal. You can't fight city hall when city hall is a bunch of blood-crazy humans out for a little payback.

How is this going to help anything?

Violence only brings more violence.

I have a really good personal trainer.

And I'm an angel. The real kind. Not the kind with the fluffy wings and halos. Precious Moments lied to you.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...But you have to try. You can't just stand back and let things happen.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

It'll prove a very strong point that I wanna make.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

And then what? And then you have a person who has been severely beaten...and you feel better.

This is not about you.

Private- And so glad this ain't voice, because Gabe would so defeated right now.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OH HOWIE. Way to hit an emotional trigger.]

Sometimes it just gets to a point where that's all you can do anymore.

[the-ironman.livejournal.com]

The real kind don't have fluffy wings and halos? Couldn't you... conjure some out of the ether so the rest of us can keep living an adorable lie?

Damn them and their plaster casts of creepy children. How could they?

[And she jumped and was surprised, but clean drinking water mmmm.]

My thanks to you!

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Sorry, kiddo.

Better. Much better. You?

[CONSIDER IT UNCONVENTIONAL REVENGE]

We're not at that point, Gabriel. We're just not.

I would appreciate it if you did not encourage my inmate like you were earlier. In case you were wondering, that would be the angry Irish man who cursed every other word.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I have a person who knows the cost of making me angry's kinda steep.

You're right. It's not. It's about people close to me having to deal with this and I won't stand for it.

Private

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

The guy wasn't gonna be talked down for nothing, but fine. This is me, not encouraging anyone. Contrary to what everyone may think? I don't want a bloodbath here. I want to make something perfectly clear to some asshole out there and then I'm done.

lakjdskla XD GDI TONY, I LOVE YOU SO.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

No, because that would be letting them win. And we don't like it when the Bible-thumping manufacturers of lie-filled kitsch win.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Do you think you are the only person who had people close to them affected? Do you think you are the only one who is suffering because of what happened to those people they care about?

No. But you are the only person determined to make it worse.

Private

[WHOO! ACCIDENTALLY HITTING EVERYONE'S TRIGGERS FTW.]

I am.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

[AND NOW GABE IS JUST GOING TO IGNORE ALL LOGIC AND SHUT UP. Because he is a grumpy, protective archangel and he doesn't feel like arguing.]

Private

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

And I did have him talked down to a relatively sane level before...well, it was not your fault. You did not know.

Please, though...have some consideration for the efforts of others and keep your emotions to yourself.

Private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Sveta's right. This isn't about you, or you alone, perhaps. We're all angry, we've all been hurt one way or another, but this isn't going to do any good except making you feel better.
