[It's been a while, Asgard, since you saw your favorite clockwork angel. And this time, Cheriour surprisingly looks very annoyed.]

Really. Really? I mean, okay, what happened with the darkness coming to the city was very bad! And I don't even want to talk about what happened to me during that time. But this...what I've just discovered right now, this is the final straw!! People should never do this, it-it's despicable!

[And what is he so angry about, exactly? The camera turns slightly towards his other hand, which is holding something large and brown. Why, it's... a broken wooden cuckoo clock. Wow. Someone's a little touchy about timepieces being broken.]

I mean, you could totally fix this! Why throw it out? I mean, it tells time for you and all it needs is a little time and care to do that for you, that's all. But no, you treat it like trash. Garbage. Totally useless. But it isn't!

I'm really disappointed in the person who did this! Next time, if you want to throw a clock out, you come to me. Understand?

[A determined frown. He means business, okay.]

I will never let this happen again on my watch.

[This has been a PSA by the guy who has clocks for eyes. You may continue on with your regular lives, Asgardians.]

[ ......................... ]

I... ahm.

[WHAT DOES SHE EVEN SAY TO THIS.]

-- I'm very sorry someone threw away your clock.

Oh, no, miss, it wasn't my clock! It was someone else' clock. But still, it's very bad, to throw away something as valuable as this!

[NOD NOD NOD.]

How can you even -

[Then she thinks about it for a minute, and her anger deflates a little.]

I guess it's kind of like one of us finding an arm or a leg in the garbage can, isn't it?

[The image of a leg or arm in a garbage an does make him pause, but he does nod, understanding what she's getting at.]

Well...yes! Sort of. Even if I didn't have clocks for eyes, this would upset me, because most of my brethren are constructed very much like this.

[A somber sort of look.] So, seeing this treated like nothing is like seeing my brothers and sisters treated like nothing, too. I mean, they're not clocks or anything, but the mechanisms are very similar....

I'm sorry. [She looks somber.] Humans just don't think of mechanical things that way. In most cases, they can't be alive like you are.

Well, it's alright. It's not like humans know what angels back home are, so. [A slight sigh, reasonably mellowed from his initial outburst.] I just wanted to tell people that so they'd think twice, that's all.

[She nods.] It's good to make people aware. You can't expect everyone to just understand how your world works, you've got to communicate.

... What is that?

[Bro are you getting upset over a clock.

...Then again, you do have clocks for eyes.]

How broken is it?

[Yeah, let's just. not ask.]

Not too broken at all! You just need to replace a few parts and it'll be as right as rain.

It's a clock. What, you don't know what a clock is?

Exactly! Hence why I did it.

I'm just glad it's getting across well. Sometimes people never want to listen.

It is nice. It's a relief that people seem to be getting more community-minded rather than less after...

[She doesn't have to finish that, right?]

I'm all for salvaging the under-appreciated timepieces of Asgard. What kind of clock are you lookin' to fix?

Oh, you are? Oh, how nice! Um, all sorts of ones, really, and although I can fix them myself, I could always use help! Pendroz was always the better one at fixing us and other such things back homes, really...

This one's a cuckoo clock, if you're familiar with it.

Oh. You mean...that darkness that came into the city, right?

[Being a Taken was really quite horrifying. He doesn't want to recall it.]

Yes. I suppose you're right. It is nice that people aren't lashing out after such a horrible event...

Yeah, that's what I meant. [A bit wearily. She was hoping it could be left unsaid.] There have been new businesses, a marriage proposal, a knighting ceremony... people seem really determined to lift everyone's spirits. It's a nice effort.

[It doesn't really look like it's worked on her - she's got drastic black bags under her eyes and a sickly pallor to her skin - but in truth, she has gotten some good moments from them.]

... No. I don't. What are they for?

They tell time!

You do know what time is, right?

A marriage proposal?! Oh, I didn't see that! But yes, I'm glad. Humans really are so kind to one another, it's amazing.

[He beams, obviously proud of the human race. But he notices that tired look, and his face fills with concern.]

Ah, but...has everything gone well for you, Nakama?

Yeah, there's going to be a big wedding. They've invited practically the whole city. [She almost smiles at that, but then he asks how she is and her face falls again.]

It wasn't easy. But I'll be fine.

People still use clocks like that? We're living in the digital age now!

[....He says to the guy with clocks for eyes. Two totally different types of angels, here.]

How dreadful.

[ He actually sounds rather put out. He's not really, because cuckoo clocks can be quite annoying, but they can also be very well crafted. ]

Would you mind showing it once more? Do you plan to repair it yourself?

Yes, they still do! Digital clocks aren't nearly as complicated and pretty as they are, so of course people would still use them!

[DON'T INSULT THE CLOCKS they're awesome >8(]
