The demon released a stifled sigh. She ruffled her long red curls a bit before thanking the bar tender. She took a small sip of the vodka before pulling out her phone that had vibrated. She looked over the message of conformation that the body was taken care of and her next assignment would be coming shortly. Natalie smiled somewhat triumphantly and placed her small phone back into her pocket. It didn't really have more of a purpose than communicating with her superiors, and on lucky days with the demons she called 'friends.' She hadn't really spoken to them in a while, but than again she only liked mocking Angus for his limp and poor choice in a body. Natalie smiled to herself as she took another swig of her vodka.
She turned to face Henry when he decided to quote the bible. She scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Damn religious folk," The demon muttered under her breath. She couldn't stand people who decided it was a good idea to flaunt their beliefs, especially those that the angels would flaunt. Natalie sighed through her nose before sipping on her vodka. She had never had a good experience with anyone religious. She always got splashed with holy water or trapped in a devils trap. It was a rather large annoyance. Especially because if her employers found out that their number one spy was a demon, God knows what would happen. She just kept quiet, and on the small occurrence she ran into someone who knew her true identity, she would get doused with holy water, no big deal. The sensation of your flesh melting off was a great one to have! Natale rolled her eyes at that thought.

"Well I reckon everyone has their problems. Lifes not fun if ya don't have problems." At least in his mind. As much as being problemless would be nice, what would you do all day? Sit around and dirnk pina coladas? That'd get boring too. Having /less/ problems, now he would enjoy that. He could deal with one or two problems, over that then it was ridicules and he questioned how those problems even happened. Like an angel getting their wing stuck in the door, or the time the secretary lost her shoe because some random old guy stole it*, or the time that alien thing he met once was talking about the delights in hamburgers and why they hadn't thought of this marvelous invention. That was...that was a lot of trouble. Though it make him laugh between his sips of drink as he thought about these things. What stupid problems, and there were never answers for it.
"...I think I know more 'bout glue then I ever did before." He said looking at Harry again as he talked, and talked again. He gave him kudos, lots of kudos. There were few people who could run circles in his own head and this man was doing it. It was almost like the guy was a professional at avoiding the topic.
Enlil paused at the bible quote. It looked like the man had just gone into a long though. The kind of thought that a schizophrenic person would do when you told them they did something horrible but they had no memory of it. "ooohh.." He said, quietly to himself, as if realization hit him. "Always did hate that quote. Why'd they put that in there again?" He asked to himself, tapping his chin like the other guy who recited it didn't really matter right now. He shrugged to himself lightly. That was the thing he never got about the Bible. Which was sort of ironic. Horribly ironic actually.
"--Aww come now!" Enlil said snapping out of his thought as he turned to Natalie. "It was just ah quote. I think." He said smiling again at her. "Come on! Don't be so anti-social!" He said trying to wave her over again. "Ya keep blowin' us all off I'll just 'ave to come over there instead ya know. Might as well."

Magnus raised his eyebrow. These people were even crazier than he previously thought. A smirk slowly grew onto his face. His kind of people.
He shrugged and finished his drink, pushing the empty glass to the bartender for a refill.
Not sure what conversation to start with the crazy glue character, he turned his attention to Enlil's attempt to gain the woman's attention. He liked to talk to people by the looks of it, that's good. Somebody was social. He decided to help encourage the woman to get out of her shell.
"Yeah, c'mon. No sense being lonesome on this fine night. Nights like these are best shared with strangers. Never know what you're gonna learn," he called.

"You never know, the knowledge could come in handy one day....and well I have learned quite a bit about all of you already." Harry said absent-mindedly although the hint of making friends with strangers was not directed at him, scribbling again in his moleskin. Both males trying to court red haired woman like peacocks flaunting to a peahen, although peacocks are far more entertaining and at least they have beautiful feathers to look at, he wrote. This investigation was getting nowhere, he lamented. Everyone here was practically on an even playing field. Aside from a few strange quirks, they all seemed well...sort of normal. Not bartender normal, but at least normal by his own standards. He tapped the page with his pencil a few times, staring down at the notes about all of them. To an average person it probably looked like jumble of scribbles and marks with no real meaning. To him, however, it was Enochian. Even with his speed of jotting down notes, every character was formed with precious care and elegance. "Perhaps it would be best if you went to her. She smells awful." he added when Enlil suggested that Natalie come closer. (In case any of you haven't seen on tumblr, I sketched out Harry earlier c: )

The way the vodka was reflecting the odd lighting of the bar was holding Natalie's attention, until she looked up with the man in whit was attempting to get her to come over again. She frowned, and her frown only increased when the pink shirted man joined in on the prodding. "Look, I'm not really the social type. I don't really like conversing with strangers." Natalie focused back onto her vodka, when the glue man's comment made her eyebrows scrunch together. You DO NOT say that about a women and get away with it. идиот* "Well, it looks like you boys struck in lucky! I'll be being socialable after all!" Natalie's smile had a very mischievous glow to it. The demon grabbed her glass of vodka and walked across the bar and plopped down in the seat closest to Harry. She smiled deeply, placing her drink back down on the bar. She smirked and took another swig of her vodka, finishing it off before placing it out for the bar tender to re-fill. "So, what were all of you идиоты** talking about before I came over here? Well that wasn't about glue that is." Maybe something good was going to come out of the night anyways. She wanted to get back to the hotel, but if she was surrounded by a bunch of angels, maybe things would be interesting. She smirked slightly, already enjoying herself. _____________________________________________ TRANSLATION STATION *idiot **idiots ((I also drew Natalie a while ago~ Please exuse my crappy excuse for coloring.))

The bartender was more then happy to refill all the drinks that were empty and pushed towards him. He better get a bigger pay check for this. "What 'e said!" Enlil said, fully agreeing with Magnus on this point. He always hated the saying don't talk to strangers. Strangers is what everyone is to you at some point, and you need to talk to them to learn about them after all. "..True, knowlage is power." Enlil, shrugged. He didn't find anything useful for that kind of knowlage, but if he ever needed glue he found a way to make it, he supposed. "--Eyy! Bit rude of ya. Be nice to 'er." He said to Harry before she ended up..coming over. "...Honestly I have no idea what we were talkin' 'bout before this. " He ..admited "Ya'll just came in here not like we all got together all ah sudden and started to discuss things. " Can't expect a conversation if there isn't a subject after all besides a sneeze or something like that. Well, she might just get what she wanted there. Though calling Enlil an angel was a bit of a strech.
(Oh dear the only picture I have of Enlil is this sketch. I can't draw this man no matter what I do. i47.tinypic.com/200ehll.png )

Magnus beamed at the success of bringing the icy woman towards them. Perhaps some real fun could be had now.
"Well, aside from the ever most fascinating topic of the color white and adhesives, we weren't talking at all. A simple thank you for the free round of drinks would have been appreciated, but hey, I'm not complaining," Magnus started, taking another sip from his refilled glass.
He rested his elbow on the table and laid his chin on the palm of his hand. He gave everyone a smirk. "So, what say you all that we relinquish our stranger status? After all, we're all humans here," he proposed with a small chuckle in the end.
He knew these people weren't ordinary. Every person on Earth was unique in their own right. It was a matter of what made individuals different.
His eyes wandered to a moleskin.
"Ah, you sketch? Write, maybe?" he questioned.
(I'll get to drawing Magnus soon! ^^b )

"I'm not trying to be rude! It is honest fact that she smells...oh-" He tried to defend himself but was interrupted when the stench of sulfur, blood and whatever else was radiating from the demon filled his nostrils. Harry visibly cringed when Natalie sat herself down right next to him, a whole shiver running through him as if he'd just eaten an awful sour candy. Well that decided it, he'd definitely insulted a demon. No human would reek this terribly, not unless they'd been rolling about in the pits of hell. Speaking of humans, he heard the comment from Magnus through his desperation and concentration to dull his sense of smell. The issue really wasn't a physical stentch. It was a spiritual one, and that took a lot of effort to suppress. "Oh yes, as human as they come really." He added and gingerly, but swiftly, shut the moleskin and smiled, "Drawings and writing, something ike that. I'd show you, but then I'd have to kill you. Protocol, you see. I hope you understand." Harry explained cheerfully. It was hardly a joke, though his tone probably expressed otherwise.
It had happened once, in the 16th century. He'd been visiting a new colony in what the humans had dubbed 'The New World' though it was hardly new at all. It had been there all along they just hadn't been doing a very good job looking for it for a majority of their existence. But yes he visited and happened to have stopped at their local chapel. Unfortunately there was a huge mishap with the missals and his notes had been lost in the shuffle. Even more unfortunately the moleskin had been found amongst the holy books by the preacher, who believed it to be a gift from God and exhaulted it daily to the fellow villlagers (although none of them could read it as understandably no one in the villlage understood enochian). He was right only partly. It was from God but it was not a gift. Harry tapped his fingers on the cover of the old worn book. Roanoke, he believed the colony had been called.

"Though I may be a women, I'm perfectly capable at taking care of myself," Natalie said in response to the two men backing her up that the glue man should be nicer to her. Her whole demonic live, and even before she lost her soul, she was treated weaker than men, mostly by men. After giving it a bit of though, she realized it probably wasn't the case. and then just shrugged the thought off. She sipped her newly refilled vodka and focused on the conversation that was beginning to start. "Well of course we're all humans. What? You think things of the Supernatural being actually exist?" Natalie smirked slightly, looking at the man in the pink shirt. "Oh and thank you for the free round by the way," She added before focusing on the glue man.
Natalie looked over at the man with the book and her eyebrows raised in curiosity. "What, are you a secret service worker and have to hide your secrets away?" Natalie knew how that was, probably more than the others, unless of course Harry actually was a secret service worker. Her laptop had the files on it, and it was password protected along with finger print protected. Even a hacker of the highest caliber would have issues getting into it. Natalie was proud of her computers security, and so were all the governments she worked for. That's why she's known as one of the best spy's in the world. It's a bit of a secret list though, not one of those things you can just look up freely. If you could, their would be a lot of spy's murdering each other.

Enlil had about the same beam expression on his face that Magnus did. Victory! Not that..it really was a victory. He was just pleased she wouldn't be all alone now. Being all alone in a bar sucked. He would know from past experiences. "-Huh?" He was a bit confused at the woman comment but he blinked and got a bit embarrassed. "Ah! No no! That's not why. You know, just defendin' a fellow person. That's all." He added. Enlil use to be horribly sexist until his wife (More like ex-wife) taught him what was what. That was eons ago, and he planned to never repeat that ever again.
"Yupp~!" Enlil hummed out to the 'we're all humans here'. Actually had the statement been phrased a bit different, he would of said no. He didn't lie about those sort of things, and he couldn't lie his way out of a paper bag anyway. He always took the word human as more of a saying then anything. Humans make mistakes, have joy, sadness, so on and so forth. Everyone had that, so why not all be human? He liked the word human because of that. You didn't have to /be/ human to be called one, sort of like being American, you just got adopted into the name.
The mention of the writing made him raise an eyebrow. "Ya know that just makes us more curious when ya say yer gonna 'ave ta kill us if we see it." He said, but held back the temptation to actually look over at the moleskin book.

"Ah, you're very welcome," Magnus chuckled kindly to the woman, raising his glass in acknowledgement. Then he leaned forward to Harry. "Now, glue man and the lady are right. Curioser and curiouser, you know. I don't mean to pry, though, I probably do. Ya got a dirty secret in there? Guilty pleasure? Maybe even some dark information that could ultimately be a key to ripping a hole in the space-time-continuum?" Magnus poked his guesses at the moleskin book fellow. He was clearly letting some television shows get to his head, running his imagination. He always enjoyed watching sci-fi, mystery, and other fictional shows, as well as some science programs, that tested the brain. But mostly he liked watching cartoons meant for toddlers and yelling "No" at the screen after every question the character would ask, leaving an awkward pause. "Do you see Swiper?" "No." "What color is the bucket?" "No." "If we have three cookies and give two to Gary, how many cookies do we have?" "No."Followed by Magnus giggling to himself like an idiot as if he had tricked a supposedly flawless mastermind. That was beside the point, though. Magnus wanted ever so badly to find out more about these interesting characters that were in his company. A notebook lad with secrets, a funny talking man who couldn't get any whiter, and a woman that could probably sink the Titantic with her cold shoulder. At least she was warming up a tad by the looks of it. (All your characters look fantastic, guys!
Here's my quick sketch. Sorry for being late: aliceapprovesart.tumblr.com/post/29563769351/whipped-up-a-quick-sketch-of-my-oc-magnus-hes)

He huffed a bit and kept one hand on top of the moleskin protectively. This is what happened when he can't keep his mouth shut, keep himself from trying to keep others in the know. If there is anything he didn't like, it was others lacking knowledge of something. But the book was different. The book was knowledge. In the wrong hands it was probably possible it could rip a big black hole in the space-time-continuum. Though it wouldn't really be a hole, as a void of nothing, but he'd rather save thought for another time. The point was it was possible to a great many things with the book. "I don't have a dirty secret, I have nothing of the sort. It's for your own protection, really!" he said, sounding rather defensive about it. It was technically, a secret, although it wasn't a dirty one. He wasn't that kind of angel. "I'm not secret service, do I look like I'm secret service?" Harry made a gesture towards his attire, which looked less like a secret serviceman and more like a college student trying to be fashionable with things they'd found at Good Will.

"Own protection my ass," Natalie scoffed slightly, taking another sip of her vodka. "Are you hiding a secret picture maybe? Or a crush? You seem like the age of someone who'd crush on women and hide it away," Natalies tone was of utter mocking. She smirked over at Harry. She really did love mocking people, it made her life ten times more interesting and fun. I mean, if you're living on the surface and not in the pits, the most you can do is make people feel bad about themselves or at least have some fun. Humans were pretty puny anyways, so they were pretty fun and easy to make fun of or offend. Ah the joy of humans.
The demon raised an eyebrow at Henry. "Anyone can look like a secret service agent, trust me on this one. A lot of them dress casually," Natalie stated. She knew this for a fact indeed. She didn't look like a secret service agent or anyone she really looked like. They didn't just walk around in suits and sunglasses, contrary to popular belief.
((Bluh my muse is dead. I'm sorry this is so crappy. v .v))

"and a woman that could probably sink the Titanic with her cold shoulder" You had all my stupid laughter right there.
"Well if it isn't ah dirty secret then what is it?" Enlil asked raising an eyebrow, then took a gulp of his drink. He wasn't opposed to secrets. He did them all the time. He found this way going about these secrets was really funny though. When he wanted to hide something, it wasn't brought up, or it was made painfully obvious. Usually if you were annoying enough and bothered them about the secret you wanted to hide they generally lost interest. It back fired though sometimes, so it wasn't the most recommended option. Trying to be annoying about the book right now, for say, would be pointless. Though if he originally had that book shoved in his face he probably wouldn't of had a sliver of interest. "Come onnn. You tell us what that book is, and you can ask us anything." Enlil offered, not bothering to ask the others about their say in that deal.
"Ya know you actually sorta do. I mean. The miss 'as a point. Anyone can look like a secret service member. Sort of like cops that go into drug rings n' stuff." He explain and his mind drifted back to one poor cop. He remembered that well. The poor cop was trying to bust a drug ring and one of his friends went by going 'Hello Officer! Arn't you on duty?" essentially blowing his entire cover. Could be the case here, only they just needed to wait for that one person who knew him to blow the cover.

(I'm so happy to know that line made you laugh. XD I've been a little worried about my writing since I haven't paragraphed RP in a while.)
"Secret service or not, everyone's got a secret. Who knows, this college student probably could be protecting us from something, like preventing my ass from getting chewed by Hell. In that case, thanks a ton, kid," Magnus grinned.
He raised his glass and gave Harry a playful nudge with his elbow, giving him a wink, and took a sip from his glass.
He shivered slightly and placed the empty glass on the table, unsure if he wanted a refill or not. He played with the rim of the glass.
He then recalled Harry's deal offer, reveal a few pages from the book and the notebook lad could ask them any questions. It was an interesting idea and seemed like a good way to get to know the others as well as more small talk.
"I'm with Whitey, too, on the deal," he proclaimed.
A Cheshire Cat smile was seen on his face.
