RP: Is this Heaven?

[rainbowmods]

There is a reception area, and at first glance, it looks to be like most reception areas: there is a front desk, a hallway that leads away, boasting a row of doors appearing to go on forever; there are two other doors immediately visible, one bearing the words Conference Room and the other Committee Chair, both etched in fine glass. All of the décor is elegant, if cold: everything is done up in blues and whites, and the chairs and couches provided look like they were chosen more for their appearance over their actual functionality.

If not for the sense of other in the room, it might seem like an ordinary office building.

It isn’t.

Welcome to heaven! Feel free to explore. A very freaked out Gabriel will probably greet you at some point.

"Aw, man, that totally screws my pickup line," Jack said. He waggled his eyebrows. "I was gonna ask you if you wanted to make an effort and then wink."

"You have a very appealing wink," Gabriel says without thinking, and then the rest of what Jack has implied catches up to him. "I--really? You would consider--with me?"

Gabriel has enough knowledge of humans to know that Jack is an extremely attractive one, so the idea is surprising. That's when he realizes he's leaned forward without actually being consciously aware of it, and that is highly unusual.

He wants Jack. The idea seems simple, but it's been so long since he's allowed himself to want. He scarcely believed he was still capable of it.

Jack was savvy enough to realize that "um, duh" might be flattering but was not charming. Instead he said, "More than consider. Just sayin', no pressure."
