[GABRIEL]

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-size: 9.4pt; line-height: 1.4;"]Whereas Junji was a bit more polite, Gabriel didn't hesitate to get nosy about the gift left at the gate. He could claim it was just a precaution, making certain there wasn't anything nefarious about the pendant, but with it hanging here, there wasn't much it could hide. Whoever left it had disappeared, so it wasn't bait. "I take it you didn't see anybody." It wasn't much of a question for Junji, more rhetorical than anything else, and after a moment, the hybrid stretched up, talons taking both the necklace and the paper down from the slot, aware of the possibility it could bite him in the ass, but he didn't think Des would take to physically hashing it out after he'd already put so much work into keeping Gabe from falling over anytime soon. It was a risk he was willing to take, for the sake of curiosity, although in the end, taking it down didn't do much to answer any of his questions, mainly, "who the fuck and why."

"Hey, Des! If you can hear me, you've got mail."
