they fell like a shooting star.

at first it was nothing more than a glint in the sky, a blue glimmering in the distance that quickly grew into something so much more. those on ground level would see their shape form rapidly in the sky, morphing from a simple blue comet to something startlingly feline in appearance. of course, that was ignoring the two pairs of wings that trailed limply and uselessly behind them, battered and torn at by the force of the wind.

such additions were commonplace in this world though, so perhaps the more alarming element to this situation was the speed at which they were moving, or maybe the cold hard earth that seemed to be their destination. there was nothing much that could be done though, so helpless eyes would be forced to watch on as the living projectile hit the ground hard, limp body bouncing from the impact and slamming into another target -- or two. a flash of white and blue light burst from their body, startlingly cold despite the way they seemed to tear through the upper atmosphere. they were barely conscious, and yet two thin blue threads coiled from their glowing form and mercilessly entwined themselves with the souls of those they had crashed into.

their fist charges, and they were chosen by mere coincidence. maybe that's the best way for these sorts of things to happen, but the disoriented angel would have appreciated it if they were more awake for the binding.

miraculously, they seemed fairly uninjured aside from the strange black liquid that dripped from their lips to pool on the ground below. their eyes were hazy, clouded, and their alarmingly cold body shivered in a futile attempt to generate heat. the sun illuminating their silky silver fur didn't seem to help in the slightest. they muttered something under their breath, staring deep into nothingness. they seemed to be pretty far gone for the time being, completely unaware of the chaos they had just caused.

It wasnt often that you just saw somebody plummeting at lightspeed from the sky. Worm had just been relaxing out on his porch when the glint of light in the sky had caught his eye, and for a moment he had thought that there was a shooting star or a comet or something streaking across the sky. However, he was wrong, and he was startled when he noticed the object turning towards camp, burning with power as it plummeted onward towards the buildings all around. The lion had gotten quickly to his feet, opening his muzzle and getting ready to yell, to alert everyone to the danger that they were all currently in from the UFO rapidly heading towards them, but he wasn't even able to get the words out before the winged creature had already slammed into two of his clanmates who happened to be talking. Eyes widening, he scrambled up to his paws and dashed off of his porch, his paws barely having time to hit the ground before they were off again, and he felt like he was gaining air with every long lunge thanks to his wings being slightly spread.

Coming to a halt just a bit away from the three, he watched the strange encounter with wide eyes for a moment before he finally opened his muzzle and spoke up, his ears pinning to his head in a great deal of worry, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Beck? Red?! Are the two of you alright? And... and are you alright too, new person who fell from the sky...?"[/glow] He wanted to be angry at the mysterious being who had decided to just come down and go crashing straight into the people that he had come to care about a great deal, but really it seemed like Velvet was just as caught off guard by everything as Red and Beck were. He reached out to gently touch the newcomer's shoulder in worry, but the lion immediately yanked it back to himself when he was struck with just how incredibly cold Vel was. He was used to Beck being cold, given his whole ghostly condition, but this new person didn't seem like a ghost. Then again, neither did Beck really when he wasn't floating around trying to be all strange and scary. Still, this new person reminded him a lot more of an angel, sort of similar to himself. Worm resembled more a Phoenix than an angel, thanks to the golden and red colors that his wings happened to be, but his mask was meant to be modeled after the old legends of what Angels were supposedly like, and his wings did have a certain angelic quality, that Vel's seemed to possess as well.

Eying Red and Beck nervously as well, the lion croaked out in a rather anxious tone, not sure what the protocol was for when a newcomer just came barreling out of the sky and crashed into other people. There had been some pretty strange joinings before – if this was even a joining – but it really did seem like this one took the entire cake in terms of strangeness, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Do you guys want me to go and get Selby? Or Moth? Or Kiira...? You seem like you could have some damn broken bones after a fall and a crash like that..."[/glow] He had to wonder if Vel had just been up flying around in the sky when she ended up falling because of something crashing into her, or if she really was some sort of odd fallen angel. It felt a bit hard to believe to him, but honestly he had seen far stranger things since he had first joined Tanglewood, such as the combo of mutations that Red was, a live utahraptor, and a tiger that was somewhat always on fire. An angel actually probably wouldnt be that farfetched, especially considering the spirit that also happened to inhabit Delilah's body seemed like it was a demon. If there were demons, there had to be angels too, right?
