So. Those Gentlemen sure made things. Interesting? Can't say I'm not glad to be able to talk again. Even if half the time me opening my mouth ends up pissing someone off back home.

But really, I was wondering...this place has a library in...Odin, wasn't it? Or I could--frak it. I don't suppose 'Harbinger' means anything to any of you? Or, I don't know, Angels or. Whatever.

[Because she is still frustrating herself worrying about things back home and that apple both did and did not help things at all. Wondering if her death and coming back means she is a Cylon. They still don't know the Final Five, after all. Or perhaps that wasn't quite it. Hence her considering the angel thing. Kara purses her lips before shaking her head and muttering.]

Gods, I don't even know why I'm--this is stupid.

[And there she ends the feed.]

The library is in Odin, yes.

I assume you're not looking for a dictionary definition of 'harbinger'.

[wontbeforgotten]

I thought it was. I just haven't yet been there myself to check it out.

Not really. Or--maybe. The frak does that even mean. This whole, being a harbinger of death shit.

[becauseichooseto]

Well, of course, you'd have to be more specific, but it's usually… people trying to make sense of what is ultimately chaos and blaming a single figure for being the catalyst of a catastrophe. When I've come across what's described as such, there's usually a great deal missing from the popular view. Death never relies on a single figure.

Harbingers. What do you know about them?

voice; private

[wontbeforgotten]

Frak if I know. Like, heralding something?

voice; private

[allbloodyhail]

In my experience they're a little more interested in stabbing than heralding anything.

Harbinger. One that indicates or foreshadows what is to come.

In religious scriptures, there are some angels that take that role.

[wontbeforgotten]

So, in which case a harbinger of death wouldn't exactly be a good thing. I figured as much.

Angels. I suppose that could depend on the religion, their faith?

[She isn't sure how she would feel about that. Though surely being an angel would mean she isn't a Cylon which is. Better?]

Not exactly. The title "Death" doesn't have to mean something bad. I understand it's connected to pain and suffering, and Death may indeed imply the death of someone, but it's also about the "end" of anything: The end of an era, the end of a trip. The end of a phase in life which has served its purpose, an abrupt and complete change of circumstances, way of life and patterns of behavior. An "harbinger of death" doesn't have to mean it'll cause the death of everyone.

And there are indeed many religions each with their own version of the angels of death, and most aren't bad. In Hinduism, Yama is lord of death who became the ruler of the departed. In Christianity, the archangel Michael is good angel of death while Samael the evil angel of death. In Islam, Azrael is the Archangel of Death in some traditions, returning the soul of every person to God. In Hebrew Bible, the Passover "Angel of Death", delivers the tenth plagues in the Book of Exodus; in later Judaism, the archangel Michael carries Adam to his grave, Gabriel is angel of death over kings and Samael is an important archangel seen as both good and bad. There is also Tabris, who is to release the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse and bring forth the end of the world, however Tabris is neutral - neither good or bad.

[ does Kaworu know a lot about angels and religion? Yes, he does. ]</small

Like what, bible kind of angels? Doesn't seem like it'd really fit with the whole Norse thing here.

voice;

[wontbeforgotten]

Bible? I guess it doesn't. I'm just curious because of things from home, really.

voice;

[doomhoops]

Yeah, bible. With genesis and Jesus and... whatever. [ this is weird ] Looking for people from home? You here alone?

[flightofdeath]

You suspect there is a Harbinger present?

private text.

[wontbeforgotten]

I know there is. Or, if what I've been told is true.

private text.

[flightofdeath]

What you've been told regarding the fate we are fighting off, that is? How do you know for sure?

[ voice ]

[iamaplague]

They sure did, it was really annoying to be mute! Also... What those guys did... It was terrible... I'm glad to see you're alright...

[Well, quite an interesting subject, Kara. He may be repelled by Bibles as a vampire, but being born in the early 1900s, he learned something. But whatever he says might not be accurate, so maybe double check?]

Aren't they supposed to be messengers of God or something? About the Apocalypse.

[ voice ]

[wontbeforgotten]

I'm fine. I was lucky enough to avoid being an actual victim at least.

God. [The 'One True God' Gaius frakking Baltar and the Cylons talk about?]

Okay the apocalypse thing is new?

[companioning]

I believe a Harbinger is one that indicates or foreshadows what is to come. Why are you asking?

video;

[wontbeforgotten]

Right. I don't know, just....remembering something from home and I just can't get it out of my head.

video;

[dyingisnotdead]

What happened?

video;

[wontbeforgotten]

Just....thinking on stuff from home too much. I know there isn't a lot I can do from here, but still. I feel like I should be trying, doing something to figure this shit out.

[comeonthensexy]

What are you looking for?

[Video | Private]

[wontbeforgotten]

Answers? I don't know. Something explaining shit besides me being a frakking Cylon.

[Video]

[ofthursday]

What about angels, in particular?

[Hello from one of the resident feathered wavelengths of celestial intent.]

[Video]

[wontbeforgotten]

I don't know. I'm just considering about any alternative to the idea of being a Cylon. Frakking metal machines and skin jobs we made that turned on us and destroyed our colonies.
