Nebula Frosting & Winged Mischief

Kamie the Angel

Three hours of quiet observation and not a single corruption blip. My halo's getting dusty.

Roy Hazama

Maybe if you stopped using it as a napkin for cosmic frosting, it wouldn't.

Ayaki

Focus. The anomaly could manifest anywhere.

Kamie the Angel

Bet you ten feathers I can make Roy's drone draw a mustache on your scanner.

Ayaki

Do it and I'll recalibrate your wings to fold into origami cranes.

Roy Hazama

Excuse me, my drone is a precision instrument, not a graffiti tool—

Kamie the Angel

Then stop hovering it over the cake.

Ayaki

Then stop hovering it over the cake.

Ayaki

…Kamie.

Kamie the Angel

Oops. Gravity.

Ayaki

Equal mass principle. Your turn to test gravity.

Roy Hazama

Great, now I need a new coating protocol.

Kamie the Angel

Come back here, scientist! My halo demands a frosting tribute!

Ayaki

File a requisition form—in triplicate!

Roy Hazama

Next anomaly better be a food fight monster. At least I'd get hazard pay.

Kamie the Angel

But... I molted yesterday. These shouldn't still be attached to my—

Ayaki

They're not yours. The runic matrix is... ancient. Pre-Celestial War era.

Roy Hazama

And they're resonating with the nebula's pulse. That's not random.

Ayaki

Kamie, when did you last visit the Celestial Archives?

Kamie the Angel

I don't do libraries. Too many rules about whispering.

Roy Hazama

Shocking. An angel who doesn't read the instruction manual for her own species.

Kamie the Angel

These feel... familiar. Like lullabies I can't quite remember.

Ayaki

Genetic memory. Your ancestor's feathers, preserved in dimensional stasis.

Roy Hazama

Until today. When cosmic frosting broke the seal. Classic.

Kamie the Angel

The Choir remembers... the song that binds sky to star...

Ayaki

Whatever you're channeling, dial it back. My neural link wasn't built for angelic frequencies.

Roy Hazama

We need to ground this before—

Kamie the Angel

Well. That was... something. Did I mention I hate libraries?

Ayaki

Note to self: angelic DNA contains encrypted messages. Possibly recipes.

Roy Hazama

Great. The universe is held together by cosmic cookbooks. Explains the frosting protocol.

Kamie the Angel

So, same time tomorrow? I promise not to weaponize my heritage.

Ayaki

Bring a containment field. And maybe... actual cake.

Roy Hazama

I'll bring the hazard pay forms. Something tells me we're gonna need them.

Kamie the Angel

You know, for someone who claims to hate anomalies, you sure look disappointed when they end.
