"Where the fuck am I?"
Remy glanced about him self, trying to figure north from south, east from west and came to one dreadful, embarrassing and kinda worrisome conclusion. He was lost. Not only was he lost, but he was lost in the middle of a gods forsaken park, filled with godforsaken trees next to a gods forsaken stream in a city that was nether heaven nor hell but something in between. In ll honesty he had been in weirder places surrounded by odder things but that had been back when he had still been living, and in the end it had resulted in his untimely(Or some would say timely) demise.
"Damn trees blocking out the stars. Damn stars not being in the right places. Damn park not having pathways"
With a sigh he fallowed the stream, eyeing the deep shadows about him, knowing that odd things lurked in the places just beyond his sight. Passing a bend in the stream he lite a hand rolled cigarette and took a long drag, savoring the taste as he watched the water rush by, sparkling in the star light. Turning to fallow the steam once again he was hit with just how much noise filled the night air. From the gurgling of the creek to the sound of crickets and the cries of night birds, it filled the night with an odd sort of music that the cowboy just wasn't used too.
"I need a drink."

Now here was an interesting place. Seemingly peaceful in this strange place. Azah stood with her helmet hanging from her finger tips looking around the strange forested area. She had only been in this odd realm for a short time. If the days were the same here as they were on her old planet she thought she had been here for just over a week. Still somewhat shaky on what exactly this place was and still far from her former power. It was as if when her body was destroyed she had lost something. No matter though. In time she would be back to what she once was. If the overwhelming feeling of power in this place was to be believed she might be even more. Azah reached her armored hand up and brushed her hair out of her face with a sigh. Time to continue her investigation. She pushed her hair up and locked her helmet down on her head. Protected now. Azah stretched her massive white wings out in either direction before folding them behind her back again. She didn't understand this place. Before she could take to the air with not even a worry, here however she was just some clumsy land bound thing. It was frustrating to say the least. She would get that back soon enough though, she could feel it. With and roll of her shoulders Azah moved on, armor clattering as she walked over the uneven ground. She could hear the babble of a stream not far off and had decided to make her way to the body of water. It seemed like the best place to start after all. water ways often led to important things. Even in this place with\out any real direction Azah's compass continued to point her onward. She knew soon enough she would find something in need of purification, there was always something.
As the winged inquisitor reached the stream she heard something else in the forest. The sounds of this place muted or muffled either by her presence or the presence of some other entity making it easy to hear the steps of the booted man to her right. She turned quickly with a rattle of armor and placed her hand on the hilt of her blade. Her luminous eyes narrowed inside her helmet as she looked on the walking man. No doubt her would have seen her first. Not only was her armor golden in color and sheen but her wings made it nearly impossible to hide in most natural environment. That was fine with Azah though. She never was one for hiding. This man did not look like a beast. He had a sort of corrupted air about him as smoke rising from his mouth but Azah saw no reason to strike him down at first glance. "Name yourself traveler." She called out to him in her deep voice with a natural air of authority. "I am Azah Exaltel, Inquisitor and servant of light. I mean you no harm if you mean me none."

Remy had once before laid eye on an angel of the Lord, it was a life changing experience one that he carried with him even now. Of course that had been before the Death of God and all those who styled them selves gods. But even then his first instinct was to cower and beg forgiveness when this golden winged being came into view. All his past evils passed before his eyes, bringing tears for but a moment to where none had been before and for but a split second he felt a deep and primordial shame over the life he had lived. But as fast as it came it went, with the realization that in this world no god sat over their fate and passed judgement on their actions, and that truly he was the arbiter of his own destiny, well that and the fact that he truly and whole heartedly didn't give a single fuck about any damnation other then those he created for himself.
"Why, if it isn't one of the dead Gods angels! Gotta say darlin' this is the last place i expected to see the likes of ya!"
A soft chuckle fallowed as Remy tipped his hat and spat the butt of his cigarette on the ground.
"Mah names Remy Keyton, and i gotta say it's jus' a pleasure to meet you!."
Taking a step forward Remy put out his hand eyeing the angels armor clad figure before locking eyes.
"Ya don't happen to know a way outta here do ya? Got my self all turned around in these trees and I can't seem to find mah way out."

This one was strange. He had some kind of accent that Azah could not place. Then again, everyone in this realm seemed to have that exact strangeness. She assumed that to them her Anokian accent likely sounded odd as well. More over, it was interesting that they all could understand each other. She had used magics that made communication easier before but this was on a level greater than she had seen. Far too often magic of that scope was rooted in darkness. That was a concern for another time though. Now there was this man. He seemed to think she was something that she was not. While angel would be a proper description in lower tongues she had no idea what god he spoke of. She did not serve any single deity. More so she was a servant of the Anokian High Counsel, or at least Azah was. Now she just fought for the ideals. She felt no need to correct him though. Not unless it became cumbersome not to. The lesser races often were confused about her kind and their ignorance was often useful.
Azah stepped forward as the man called Remmy did so. He did something else too. He extended his hand to her. Some kind of greeting no doubt. Azah mirrored his stance. removing her hand from her weapon and holding it out with her palm facing his outstretched palm, not grasping his hand however, just sort of hovering there.
"It has yet to be seen if it a pleasure to meet you Remmy Keyton. I however do not know the way out of this place. I have been in this place for only a few solar cycles and am unfamiliar with the topography." Azah held her hand outward for as long as Remmy would, not wanting to seem rude. "I was hoping perhaps you might point me in the correct direction. Seems we are together in our ordeal though."

Pluto chuckled at the two as he stepped out of the nether and into reality. Spatiomancy was an odd thing, but he was familiar enough with that which held Asgard together to tamper with it slightly for travel. A cowboy and an angel, eh? It was almost like watching a corny western flick of the lost and torn cowpoke finding salvation at last. The fact that this Remy Keyton was here, however, meant he had already found the salvation he longed for. He had been reborn a champion where others had been doomed to a meaningless existence as something less... Kind of like batteries really; he pondered on this for a silent moment as he watched the two, were the lost really so useless? They powered all of this in a way."The correct direction, eh?" Pluto scratched at his bearded chin and started pointing every which way slowly as if he was trying to make it out himself. He ended this small charade with another scratch to his chin before scoffing. "Up, down, left, right, it's all an illusion. Not like much of it matters in Asgard anyway. As long as you're still steppin', that's the right way to be goin' how I see it."He then rudely took the angel's hand himself, shaking it with an odd firm grip for someone of the age he appeared, "Name's Pluto, Miss Azah. Pleasure to finally meet ya, I got a proposition for you and your new friend here." He finally let go of her hand and wiped it on his blue-jean vest before pointing over to a clearing. In it eight little men could be seen dancing around, causing quite the ruckus.
"Satyrs. Nasty little freaks, they be." The old man nodded rather sagely, arms folded now. "They got the wits of an ass, but they cause the biggest problems y've ever seen when they get in a group and start their partyin'. Mind clearin' those fuckwits out for me, they ran off some others a bit ago, can't seem to shoo 'em off myself." He then sighed and held his hands out, "I ain't got nothin' on me for'n reward, but, trust me, they probably got some knickknacks on 'em."

Remy let out a sigh as he let his hand fall, eyes locked on the angel in all her shining glory and had to wonder how such a bright being could in fact be so dim. It was astounding to the man, who for his part had never met a being that didn't know what a simple hand shake was, and could not quite understand how one grew up without figuring out that basic mode of greeting.
"See you're supposed to shake my hand love, not just dangle it out there like some wet fish."
As soon as those words where out of his mouth his eyes once again found there way to the sky, at least what little he could see of it, and then back to the angel... And as he did so it hit him that she seemed to be at least as lost as he, with maybe less of a reason.
"I gotta wonder though, how can ya be lost when ya could just fly above the trees ta get your baring. Seems like a mighty fine waste of such great plumage if ya ask me."
Which in fact it was. To have wings and not to use em was akin to having feet and not walking, which made less sense then a pig in a bow tie. Of course all those thoughts and more vanished from Remy's mind as a man just appeared. Now to say Remy had seen some odd things in both his life and after life would be something of an understatement, but this was by far the oddest and hardest to explain. In fact it was so odd and so startling that Remy, as brave as he was , peed him self. Not a lot mind you, there was no damp spot on the front of his well worn jeans, but he did in fact leak. He also may have squeaked. Much like a little girl. All this aside, it didn't stop him from drawing his arms and aiming at the man that had so suddenly come into their midst.
"Wh..." With a cough and a shudder Remy let his guns fall a tad. It was Remy's policy never to overtly threaten anyone who came out of no where "Ahem.Knicknacks ya say? And ummm where the hell did ya come from?"

Azah was preparing to respond to the strange man. Inform him of how her wings did not work as they once had. That they would not carry her as they did in life. Not only that but also to take his hand as was instructed. Such a strange greeting. To just want to meet and then grab each other's hands. How brazen. Perhaps he was from a culture that did not value personal space as much as her's did. She had seen cultures that were like that. They greeted with touching and close interactions. They had not been allowed to enter into the Anokian Conclave though, deemed too disrespectful. Azah could see the wisdom in not touching people when you met them. You knew nothing of their hygiene or if they carry any diseases. Caution was a virtue honored greatly by her kind. Though she did not know if diseases even existed in this strange place. Perhaps they did not.
However, before she could say anything a man appeared from thin air and grabbed her hand. Azah gave him a very shocked and offended look as he shook her arm violently and then began to speak. Who was this man? Where did he come from? Why in the 15 Hells was he blathering on about creatures and their parties. Azah looked over at the group of goat legged things hopping about in the glade. She turned her golden eyes back to look at the slowly relaxing pistol wielding man and the man called Pluto who was excited to meet her for some reason. "Those things are Sayters?" Azah asked pointing to the beasts and cocking her eye brow up in question. "They do not look like much." she could now sense them. They had a foulness about them that spoke to her need to destroy. Something about the way they danced made her lips draw into almost a snarl. She drew out her sword with a slow and intent stare at the sayters. "Pluto, I will purify these creatures for you. Their sizzling corpses will be reward enough for me. Anything else will be an investment in greater pest control." her tone was cold and focused. She had yet to kill anything here, now was as good of a time as any to start. "Remy Keyton, I expect you are interested in also destroying these things, even if not for the same motivations?" Azah drew her wings back tightly so they were entirely behind her, protected for the most part.

The old man nodded slowly before turning his back to the two of them and raising his hands at either side of him. He nearly made it seem as if he'd already grown tired of the two before hurriedly spinning himself around and pointing a finger at the cowboy like a gun. Pluto just gave a grin and blew on the tip before pocketing his hands and pacing slowly back and forth as he explained."Yeah, knickknacks, you know. Little things. Not exactly the big loot, but something that'll put a pep in your step either way." He stopped suddenly and twiddled with the brim of his hat, realizing the satyrs had already noticed the three of them and were making their way over. Like he's said earlier, these things were troublesome. Annoying more than anything, but troublesome all the same. "Here they come, kids. Have fun, and remember," the hippie smiled at Remy, realizing he'd never really answered him, "tell them bastards that ol' Pluto sent'cha!"And then he was gone, just as he'd came. The satyrs still had a ways to go for their little legs to carry them, even if they were running. This would give the two time to make the first strike if they so chose. It soon became apparent, as they drew closer, that two of them were carrying what appeared to be a massive bag tied closed with rope. These wouldn't be able to use their hands, another disadvantage, but one should always be weary for magical attacks.
