Cate Indigo's book went missing in New York. Stolen by unseen hands, that disappeared into a crowd before Cate, even realized what happened. It was a tragic loss, since Cate relied on that book for guidance, though it was much more than that. For it was also her voice and a sense of confidence. Now, she was learning to live without it, a challenge that she seemed to be conquering, as the fearless universe traveler predicted. She didn't need a book to help her voice be heard. That was a delusion, a trick that her mind permitted to overtake it, until that act of self-deception, became a reality. Now, that the mirror lay shattered and the smoke had been cleared, Cate was slowly realizing the truth. The veil parted on her thoughts and revealed, she was capable of doing things, on her own. Book or no book, it made no real difference. She was in control of her fate, as she had been all along. Still, the intrepid explorer of worlds, made her a promise. One that he intended to fulfill. It's what he did. Among a long list of other things he could do, the spaceman always tried his best to live up to his word. Which is why it was curious that he would journey to New Orleans, in order to find a book that went missing in New York.


Not just anywhere in New Orleans though. Goodness, no. Azrael had a particular destination in mind. An apartment, that was now the shared home of a witch and an inter-dimensional, demi-god. Strange how the universe brought beings together. As Dirk Gently said, "Everything is connected" and this was yet another example of that statement, being absolutely accurate. Azrael didn't even attempt to fight it, fear it or even ponder its occurrence anymore. He now merely accepted the inevitable interconnectedness and left it at that. Which is why, he also chose to come here... of all places, for assistance. He needed aid in finding a magic book, who better to lend a hand or even just supply a finger as a means of pointing him in the right direction, than the enchantress - Nyx Nephthys. Sure, she took the Bombshell title from Azrael but in truth, he was only wielding it as a lark. Besides, the title looked better on her anyways.


Approaching the front door of Nyx's apartment building, Azrael was overcome by the intense sensation, that he was being watched. An awareness that summoned a small smile on his face, as he did something completely normal and rang the doorbell. The action was utterly average. Totally unbecoming of the man from the stars. Yet, this was the course he decided upon. Figuring that it would be much more acceptable, than appearing in Nyx's apartment, out of nowhere. Less hostile alien takeover, more olive branch. Azrael ran a hand back through his hair as he fought the urge to confront his hidden observer. A hint of cigarette smoke, lingering in the air. The site of the spy that stuck to the shadows, like they were a second skin, was obvious. The roof. Interesting. It appeared Azrael and Dillinger D'Marco, had something in common. Imagine that.


That's when the door sharply, swung open, revealing Nyx Nephthys.





Looking up at the spaceman, it was very clear his visit was more than unexpected. It was unrequited in the terms of acceptance. This wasn't a witch that was happy to see an alien show up on her doorstep. Uninvited. Azrael surmised, that this reaction, solely pertained to the specific identity of the alien at her door and had little to do with a hate for all alien kind. Still he couldn't help but chuckle as he stated with a sheepish grin...


"I come in peace."

Quote:Also being opportunistic requires no emotion or thought. It requires an opening, and individual taking said opening. There does not need to be a reason behind it.

"That's not true. Being an opportunist calls for the need to achieve something. Waiting, watching and seeing an opening requires calculation and timing, so there's a lot of planning and thought involved. The reason for this is the successful completion of the task. Opportunists have agendas and crave completion. Zero emotions means exactly that, zero emotions. There's no desire or want. Why would there be? There's nothing driving and fueling an empty shell, with no feelings, forward. There's no internal need. To need is to feel. To want is to feel. Even psychopaths want things. They can feel things, even if it's not in a similar fashion to a normal, sane person, the sensation is still there. There is a method to the madness."


"Whatever. You're the emotionless void, that seizes opportunities and manipulates the weak. Because the weak really need to be manipulated, in order to achieve your goal. It's not like you could just take what you want. No, it's got to be a game. Played by someone that can't feel, for the purpose of... you know what, I'm done. You're too far out in the quicksand. Just sink."


"Anyway, in reference to your perception of time, I expected you to be able to freely move forward and backwards, through time. Unrestricted. For instance, I can have a conversation with someone in one time period and then, pop back to another time, to finish whatever else I might be doing. It literally can occur, simultaneously. Hence the multi-tasking reference. All part of being the spaceman. I suspected an entity like Death, could do the same. I suppose, I was wrong. Dead wrong. See what I did there? "


"Oh and camera gremlins, are very real. They've been revealed on camera too. So even if my brain was in a state of massive deterioration, it didn't cause the manifestation of false images and hallucinations."
