>"So you're that angel... Why are you trying to manipulate Renko?"
>"Manipulating?" The angel asks as she descends to you and Renko, "Manipulating is such a... strong word... I am merely helping Usami here fulfill her destiny, my child."

>Examine angel
>She has long, whitish - possibly platinum-colored? - hair and blue eyes. She is wearing a long, simple, purple-blue robe with white sleeves, with a peculiar mark of what resembles a flaming shield embroidered on the chest. In her hand is a long, purple staff, with a circular tip. Just below it are several feather-like structures jutting from the shaft. On her back are six feathered wings, each rimmed with violet on their top surface.
>Her demeanor is calm, yet unsettling

>Keep your guard up!
>You don't trust this one bit, so you keep up your guard.

>"What did you do to her ?!?!?"
>"What does it look like? I simply made it so she couldn't interfere.... Fufufufu~"

>Examine Chen.
>Chen is still unconscious. And is not moving. There appear to be no external injuries, you think.

>Meanwhile, try to setup the phone in a way so we can take her picture, make a gamenote when this is ready.
>You manage to bring up your phone's camera without looking. Thank god these modern phones have quick camera access.

/Yeahh it's pretty clear this angel isn't messing around. They're familiar enough with technology to know what guns are, and they've been in the outside world at the least to talk to Renko, so a flash=incredibly bad times for us.

>"Well, my child," The angel replies, "I wasn't lying to her when I said she was being held prisoner, and her captor is somebody we will deal with shortly. Have patience..."

>Fiend !
>She just CAN'T be trusted...

>"And what now ? Why is an angel interested in engulfing a land in chaos ? More like a demon to me."
>"Fufufufu~! I suppose it would be easier for you to understand if I introduced myself, besides, I do believe Usami deserves to know my name at this point." she does a slight bow, "I am Sariel. Symbol of Death and Archangel of Chaos."

>"Symbol... of death...?" Renko asks.

>"Why yes, my child, death. You see, death is within my sphere of influence. Think about it. Your organs shut down, your cells die catastrophically in large numbers, your heart beats irregularly... Death is merely nothing more than a form of chaos."

>If we're outside the cave, we probably don't need flash. Can we disable it discreetly? If so, do so and snap a shot. Maybe multiple shots so we can try to have one that doesn't suck, assuming we're blindly hitting the button with the phone in a non-highly-visible spot.

>No no no, don't look! That'll catch her eye and then we'll really be in for it!
>You snap a picture as discreetly as you can, but you do not look at it.

>"Also, what the hell is wrong with your laugh? I mean, 'Fufufufufu~?' People only say that in bad manga!"
>"Oh, do you not like it? I mean, the Parser thought this laugh was fitting of me, so ultimately he should be the one to blame. Fufufufu~!"

//I believe it's far more likely SHE will be interrogating US, given how easily she ganked and disabled Chen...

>"So your ultimate goal is to bring chaos... by killing everything?"
>"Once this universe comes to an end, then yes." Sariel replies, "Entropy will rip all universes apart eventually... However, as hard to believe as it may be, my current goal is actually to preserve reality..."

>"And what about this destiny?"
>"Ah yes... You see, millennia ago, Raphael, Archangel of Space and Time, told me of a prophecy moments before I was forced to euthanize him... He said 'The fate of entropy lies in the hands of Usami'." She smiles, "And that Usami... Is standing right next to you!"

>"Well... I DO want to save Sumireko. I guess I can listen to what you have to say, at least..."
>"Well then, my child, I guess I must have underestimated your willingness to cooperate," she smiles innocently, "Why are you suddenly so interested in this anyway? If anything, you were nothing more than a tool to get Usami here..."

>Listening =/= agreeing, Sariel's spiel will probably contain a good amount of stuff we do want to know and then we can return to interrogation time.

>"Oh! I almost forgot!"
>Turn toward the fourth wall. Preferably where the Parser is. Break/tear the border that the fourth wall represents if we have to (that's what we're doing anyway).
>"WHY?"
>"Why do you have to give this person (gesture to the 'angel') such a cliched laugh? Having this person blackmail Renko in order to have those people shot was bad enough. Having her gank poor Chen was even worse, especially since you made her seem to enjoy it! But the laugh? The laugh? Seriously? I don't know if that's worse because it's so silly sounding or if it's because it's been used so many times before, but... Come on, man! You can do better than this."
>Restore/repair the fourth wall.

>"Very well." She turns to Renko, "Anyway, I do believe we've dilly-dallied enough. Now, on to phase two..."
>"Hey... Before we start... Just know that I don't want to hurt anyone else, okay?" says Renko, "Anyway, what do I need to do?"
>"I require you to kill someone."
>"W-What!?!"
>"It is your destiny to do so, my child. The fate of your sister, and reality itself, depends on it..." says Sariel, drawing out a box from her sleeve, "Take this, consider it my ultimate gift to you..."

He is currently responsible for keeping every realm and alternate reality in equilibrium. However, his true motives are far more sinister. He seeks to plunge all of reality into a state of perfect order by resetting everything to the moment of creation... Permanently."
