Just to remind me of everything – MC
= Jared SK = Rigel
Chapter 1
·
Seminary start – what if?
o
Let’s do it!
·
Can start to drop hints toward historical times
that it’s gone. Power and strength story are over the top, but it sets up
things that will happen. Every time in the earlier chapters pre-ascension, they
talk about angels in history, something in the same realm will happen in his
story.
o
Most recent – Madge (F) – service –life of
service in the slums, mother Terresa type
o
Alva (M) – patience in suffering – 30 years of
waiting for refuge from daily pain
o
Florence (F) – Educate/ preach – converting
thousands, entire cities.
o
Warren (M) – Saving & protection –
protecting a city from an army single handedly.
o
Viola (F) – Communion – disappearance into
nature with nothing for two years, came back divine
o
Milton (M) – strength /endurance running, movement, shattering chains, over
the top
·
Get home, play around, call it out and start
living and practicing as being as good as possible
o
Football down the hallway
o
Family – can’t lie, have to be kind, have to ask
for forgiveness, have to serve.
§
Grounded for life
·
Set up that MC is idea and action type guy, and
SK is support and along for the ride, and willing to help out because there’s
not really much else to do.
Chapter 2
·
1st Ascension
o
Tradition only worries about shoes, and
otherwise says white clothes. When you’re done you shine with the light of an
angel.
·
Different students have different approaches
towards the ceremony. Informal, formal, then hyper traditional of MC and SK.
·
Boring ceremony, useless, seemingly pointless
phrases, but the location (cathedral), atmosphere, lighting, and everything
outside of the actual ceremony is where the attention and specialty of the entire
thing stands. MC can’t stand paying attention to the speaker but attention stay
and focuses on the surrounding, the shoes, and everything else that is actually
important.
·
The glow! Wrap things up, stand on light to
glow. MC and SK step off lights and realize the glow is real. Freak out. Don’t
know how to get rid of it. Insult each other and watch it dull to nothing.
·
Ceremony over congrats from family and friends,
small little party of everyone afterwards.
·
MC and SK – “What now? Was that it? One shot
then done? No more?”
Chapter 3
·
Same night – sleep over at MC’s house. After
being grounded, ban has been partially lifted for the night of their first
ascension.
·
Discuss the glow –comfort, warm.
·
How to get it back? Apologize and glow.
·
Glow! ( but still cold)
·
Shoes? Shoes!
·
Try them out, warm up, go out for a run.
o
Out of breath? No
o
Speed? Sprint and no restraint
o
Comfort? Better than anything else.
·
Talk it out while running, pure shock. Miles
pass fairly fast and then run back. Bring in Milton’s story
·
Way back around hear police siren
o
Ditch the police!
o
For us? Let’s not find out
Chapter 4
·
In soup kitchen service, lifting bags and boxes,
talk around things. Show transition from ascension to tickets to a conference.
·
While passing out rolls they start to hear
rumors and stories of the people in the line about two angels running around.
o
Who/what are they?
o
Rumors of angels, debates about existence
o
Few try to link their appearance to good things
·
Leader of kitchen, foot down, angles don’t exist
like that anymore. It doesn’t happen like that anymore.
Chapter 5
·
Area leader at church/cathedral knocks out everything,
calls them fake, imposters and nothing from angels
o
SK – Can I show them? Let me show them!
§
Apologies for everything, MC won’t forgive him,
no glow.
·
On their way back in car discussion, MC driving
o
Is what we doing okay?
o
Yes we’re okay, keep going!
§
Let’s prove them wrong when we get home. Time
for a run.
·
Cathedral grounds, nearby graveyard, doing laps
and not feeling bad about any of it.
·
Touch door, try to get in. Locked, turn, run.
·
Angel (Madge) appears.
o
Glows, wings, halo, white robes, sword, sandals.
o
Robes open flowing behind/around. White clothes
underneath everything.
·
Try to dodge around the cathedral, unsuccessful.
·
She talks – they don’t understand.
·
Bail home and she doesn’t chase.
Chapter 6
·
Get home and relax in back yard. “I can’t believe
it!”
·
Madge shows up.
·
Freak out, almost run, she stops them in a
language they understand.

You’re headed in the right direction

Check points made

First ascension

You’re not supposed to turn off the glow!
·
Time to go to the next step, you’ve got to get
your halos.
o
Next quest! Need to take halos she gives them to
the point of her ascension. IN a different country. It’s officially closest part
from Earth to angels.
·
Wait, why not now in back yard?
·
Rules are rules
·
Why the face to face then?
o
Not too many modern halo makers
o
Go team! We want to help you
Chapter 7
·
Different country for meeting

pulled into back room. Speed blessing.

Get out and leave. Stop bothering everyone.

Have the unringable bell ring once you’re up
there, and it counts.
o
Which first? The local!

Keep on going
o

§
What about it? Back in my day!
§
Goal is to ascend, not to deal with politics.
Don’t let humanity keep you down.
·
Ring the unringable bell. Alva takes sword and
baseball swings into it, sound is significantly louder than it should be. Loud
enough to get people’s attention in the nearby area.
·
People start to see what all the noise is about
and MC and SK bail out.
Chapter 13

It’s SK’s turn? No, you go. You do this all
first, and I’ll do it later.
·
Clean go up to bell.
·
Visit #2 – Florence
·
She rings bell and hell brakes loose. Try to
stop at all costs, people in hiding come out. Escape route is not just run as
fast as possible.
·
Not rent-a-cop organization. Organized. Try to
swarm with people, not brains. Out think to survive.

Catch the Dr in the meeting. Say hi. Listen in,
try not to make it awkward.
·
Turn to MC and SK what do you think? You’re
oddly quiet for this whole deal.
o
Ahh!!!
o
Should we answer? How?
·
All in They’re real. Nothing more, nothing less.
They exist. They’re not an omen, a sign or any other interpretation, they’re
real. You can’t say they’re not. The interpretation of their existence says
more about the induvial interpreting rather than the angels themselves.
·
Threatened to get in trouble due to supporting
heresy.
Chapter 17
·
Heresy!
o
Rebellion super small. Outside voices, no one in
a normal level actually saying anything publically.

Church distances from anything ‘bad’. Rebels are
no longer associated. Done quickly and with little discussion about the
individual or what might happen to them.
·
Small groups start meeting in private and MC
gets wind of it

to the basics. Can’t use angels as a reason to be rude or break laws. Still
need to follow the teachings, can’t just rebel to rebel
·
Friends in the underground
o
Wait, this is the underground? It’s a meeting at
a rec center or a person’s house with snacks and juice.

§
I’m not trained. Don’t trust myself with a
sword.
§
Need special training? Hoops to jump through?
·
Just bring the weapon you want to be yours.
·
When do I use it? Teachings are pretty pacifist
about violence. It’s more someone gets tricked then they smash skulls

Pretty much. Stay good, be good, ado the right
then, but when push comes to shove, you shove and you win.

The End
A few other things just for house
keeping things –
MC’s name – Jared, Brian, Connor
SK’s name – Rigel, Eric
Not sure on city names or location.
Fake cities? Clearhollow, Smith Field, not sure on others.
First angel visit location Marsta
hill in Sweden.
Seminary teacher – Sister Anderson?

“____ the divine” Ã “ ____ the ascended”
Inquisition – dull brunt orange
outfit. Hasn’t updated look since their last use back in the 1700’s knee high
pants stockings button up collared shirt.
Leadership look .Try to double in
all fo the real views of things. Backpack of wings from solar level up. Quality
of materials to create false image depend on leve and authority. Local leaders

Glow from lights vs clothes with

Robe materials – basic cotton silk

Cothing under robes basic vs gaudy
Shoes – white dress shoes vs rare
