Playtime with the Girls (open post)

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley has been a little restless the past month or so. While there is still some random jobs she gets from the Nexus, and from her world, it really has not been keeping her busy enough. And she needs a distraction. A distraction from the bad stuff that went down in her life … and just needs to surround herself with good friends. And a party.

So she decides to throw a "Girls Only" night at her Coney Island roller derby. She gets the place set up with decorations, lots of liquor, and lots of food. There is a place for people to get up and sing karaoke in one corner. And a quieter couch area in another corner.

The main focus is on the roller derby rink itself, where Harley is currently skating a few rounds.

She convinced a certain Angel messenger to deliver the invites out to as far as he could, so anyone from the Nexus could drop on by. The only rule of the night... was this was a Girls Night only.

"An actual spirit tied to the moon. Someone who hears prayers directed towards it and has powers related to it..." She shifts uncomfortably in her seat. "Sorry if that's too literal, but I don't know how else to phrase it."

"Oh, I'm not --" Adia cuts herself off with a nervous laugh. Trying to explain that she wasn't hitting on Beelzebub would only be more awkward. Beautiful, strong women do leave her a bit tongue-tied, but in a platonic, admiring sort of way. She polishes off her drink, faster than she would have normally. "Anyway! How about that skating lesson?"

"Among our kind Asaroth, but also Asariel who serves him. Asariel, also sees to the tidal forces and interactions between moons and planets. Not just Earth and the moon, but all of them." Beelzebub thought about that a moment and added. " I don't think Asariel's been to the Nexus."

Beelzebub is a little clueless still on romantic social interactions, flirting too sometimes. She's just fine moving on to an activity. "Yes, skating."

Adia blinks and then makes a little sound of resigned acceptance in the back of her throat. How fitting that the first fallen angel she met is the one associated with the moon. "I've never heard of Asariel. What are they like?"

Being a little clueless herself, Adia is more than forgiving of anyone else's missteps. "Okay, so, first thing's first. You should feel comfortable just standing around on your skates." Adia stands up to demonstrate. "You can keep your feet together like this, in a T-stance, or keep your stance wide, knees bent a little. So long as the ground is level, you shouldn't start rolling away or anything."

"I haven't spent much time with them, but they're one of the peaceful angels that prefers not to carry weapons unless things are dire. Most angels of knowledge can feel distant or aloof." Well, aloof compared to Beelzebub's own gregarious nature.

Beelzebub listens and has a good handle on standing still. Steering and stopping felt like the problems, but then that was most of skating. Might as well go through with all the training to see where things are going astray.

A peaceful angel sounds like Adia's speed. Although Beelzebub is surprisingly easy to talk to. "Do you think they'll visit the Nexus sometime? There's a lot to learn there."

Ah, she's a quick learner! Excellent. Adia smiles proudly at the angel, then offers her arm. "Let's get you out onto the rink for stopping and starting, you'll need the space. I can lead you out -- remember to keep your knees bent."

"I don't think they have any plans to, but if you want to speak with them Lucifer or Astaroth would bring them here." Beelzebub is confident that this young woman could convince either of her sisters to invite the angel here.

She follows instructions but there's one problem. The instinct of an angel is to use their wings for balance. She's trying her best to be mindful and not slap anyone with her wings as she adjusts to skating.
