The Story Thus Far:

The Once-ler has successfully freed Martel Yggdrasil from captivity, bringing her to the woods for safety. Martel, afraid of the retribution this might bring, pleaded Once-ler to tell no one that she has escaped. Once-ler then returned to the Resistance, only telling Ino about what had happened. Martel meanwhile traveled the woods alone until she met up with Zack Fair, the now embittered mercenary that's been doing what he can to stay alive and free in this setting.

However it wasn't as though Martel's disappearance went without notice. Mithos noticed his sister's absence and has set out all stops to find her. Whether or not you know of Martel's release, it's hard not to notice the larger number of angels around - even if some appear less than intimidating. Because of this, the small traveling group of Zelos Wilder, Arya Stark and Genis Sage have decided to travel to the mountains to use the stronger winds for safe haven from any lifeless angels until they can stronger.

Meanwhile back in the Resistance, efforts to fight back still persist. The inventors are having struggles in creating better keycrests for their loved ones  that have been transformed into angels. In the less tech part of the Resistance, Tsuna and Allen continued their efforts to revert angels back to their former selves. They were successful in converting Mithos's former assassin Sheena, but due to some mishaps Maladict escaped from their attempts.

Oh and Garry moped.

With all these different teams going on, what will be the next thing to occur? Will things turn in favor to the Resistance, or will it only get worse? Will Garry ever stop moping? Will any of you remember to use the damn journal? Only time will tell...

[The Once-ler will calmly step over Garry. To crouch a little by his head]

You know the sky's the other way right? [The points upwards. HELPFULLY]

[thehangedrose]

[LEAVE HIM TO WALLOW IN HIS MISERY, GOSH DARN IT.]

[He looks up with an unamused expression.]

I know. I just came from there.

[whichwayyoulean]

[NO only he's allowed to do that. GARRY STAHP]

Sorry to break it to you, buddy, but you kind of suck at flying.

[And then, rather unceremoniously, he dumps a package on the deadcat angel]

Happy...Regular Day. Have a gift.

[thehangedrose]

[HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS, ONCE-LER]

Really? I didn't know after about the last ten times I dropped onto the ground.

[It's lucky that he can't really feel anything from that! Or else he would've been more annoyed. Heck, never mind, he's going to be annoyed you dropped it on his back on the first place. He slowly gets up on his knees, the package dropping down to his side as his wings shift, and manages to peer up at Once-ler with a confused look before picking it up.]

What's this?

[whichwayyoulean]

Maybe you should try flapping around on the ground first. Get used to wing mechanics.

[Gosh Garry, way to be annoyed at a thoughtful gift. GOSH]

It's the wing harness. Told you I'd make one.

[Now he doesn't have to rescue Martel he has a lot more time on his hands to do nothing but THINK and MAKE STUFF]

[thehangedrose]

I did that, but it's not like I can know if what I'm doing is right! Not too many angels like me around to look after, you know?

[He blinks, and then realization strikes him.]

Oh, oh, yes, I remember! You really did make it? [Opening it now.] Oh, gosh...thanks, Once-ler. How do you even put it on, though?

[whichwayyoulean]

Well, you'll know if you're doing it right or not by how well you'll do when you eventually jump off something high and end up either hitting the ground or not.

[He gives a shrug, trying to brush off the gesture]

It's pretty easy. Just put your arms through the holes there, and your wings should fold into the hammock parts in the back.

[thehangedrose]

Yeah, great tip. Except that's what I've been doing for the last several day. A lot of good did that do me...

[He holds it up, examining it first, before slowly trying to put it on. It takes a minute or so, because those pesky wings don't seem to want to cooperate with being lifted in awkward positions, but eventually he gets the hand of it and puts them in place, standing and turning around so Once-ler can see.]

Hey! That's pretty nice...how does it look?

[whichwayyoulean]

Looks like you have a lot of appointments with the ground in your future, then.

[He smiles, partly out of the warm feeling any inventor gets when a Job Well Done occurs, and partly because it might make Garry's life marginally less miserable]

Looks great. Least you don't have to worry about them getting caught everywhere now.

[thehangedrose]

Which is precisely why I'm questioning my sudden want to learn how to fly, really...

[He does look marginally less miserable, actually, happy enough to...]

[Oh god.]

[He's going in for.... THE HUG]

[Though a very careful hug, as he doesn't want to crush your spine or anything, but don't mind being lifted up in the air like you weigh the same as a stuffed animal, Once-ler, blame the angel strength.]

Gosh...thanks a bunch, Once-ler! You're the best!

[whichwayyoulean]

Some people do crazy things sometimes. That's my theory.

[Oh sweet zombie jesus WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO HUG HIM? WHY?

And he really didn't enjoy being lifted]

...That's great but could you put me down?

[thehangedrose]

[He'll hold it for a second or two before submitting to Once-ler's request and putting him down, and giving him a pat on the shoulders for good nature.]

Just wanted to show my gratitude in some way, really...if you need anything, Once-ler, please, don't hesitate to tell me! I want to repay you somehow.

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeaaaaah got to tell you, hugging? Not the way to say thank you to me.

And it's fine. It gave me something to do. I need that. [It helps keep the vicious self-loathing at bay]

[thehangedrose]

What, is this the "I don't do happy things" argument again? Come on, Once-ler, it wouldn't kill you to get a hug every once in a while.

[A slight sigh.] But anyways, thank you for, well, doing something that gave you something to do. It's really appreciated!

[whichwayyoulean]

Given the people who generally hug me have super-human strength, it actually could.

It might give you one less thing to write sad poetry in your journal about.

[thehangedrose]

Hey! Hey, I was careful! I mean really, that requires effort, you know.

[And then he flushes like an embarrassed schoolgirl who has just discovered that somebody has been reading her diary without permission. Actually, cut out the "girl" and the "like" part and that is pretty much what you have.]

Y-you've read that?!

[whichwayyoulean]

And I tahnk you for not breaking my spine. I'm using it right now.

[Sometimes, the Once-ler would keep the 'girl' part in when it comes to Garry]

I still have my journal, you know. Everyone with one can read them. Learn to use filters, man.

[Then, with a slightly judging look] The brain named itself, really?

[thehangedrose]

[Flatly:] If I wanted to break your spine, I would've done it a long time ago.

[WOW RUDE HE IS THE MANLIEST MAN EVER oh who are we kidding he probably cries at chick flicks]

And I was supposed to know that, how? It's not like anyone actually uses that thing!

[this look back forever]

Hey, it is a perfectly valid statement, don't judge me.

[whichwayyoulean]

...That's comforting, Garry. I'm so glad that we're friends.

[There is no doubt in the Once-ler's mind that he does]

Sometimes people get bored at night. Though apparently not so much as you.

[This is not the face of a bothered man]

Does it even matter right now?

[thehangedrose]

I was kidding! But you shouldn't really joke about that stuff either, okay?

[why is he even friends with you again how did it come to this]

Well...I mean, it's not like there is much to do at night! And it has been two years on nonstop sleeping...

[A huff.] I don't know, does it matter to you? You're the one the brought it up.

[whichwayyoulean]

Shouldn't joke about what? Being your friend or not wanting you to break my spine?

[No one should be friends with him, he keeps telling you all this and you never listen]

...Okay, I guess you have a point.

It's the one that stuck in my mind the most.

OF NONSTOP NOT SLEEPING wow self wow

[thehangedrose]

The breaking the spine part! Definitely not the being my friend thing. I'm glad of that...

[because once-ler is a crazy person magnet, that's why]

[and oh god what if he saw the ONCE-LER PARENTS MUST BE RELATED TO GIRAFFES THING brb screaming into the woods let him bury himself under a rock now and forever amen]

O-Oh? Really? Well...yeah, that is one of the best ideas I've had in there, so, erm.

it's okay I got it B) /pets gently

[whichwayyoulean]

Glad we cleared that up, that could have been messy.

[You're wondering if he saw that, Garry? WONDER NO MORE]

It's better than the one about my parentage. Sorry to break it to you, but I'm 100% human.

...Actually my mother might of been a vicious devil-witch. But still human. Probably.

you saw nothing by the way

[thehangedrose]

Yeah...

[sob he has friends even if they are giant jerks AT LEAST SOMETHING IS GOING RIGHT FOR HIM.]

[And he flushes even more and just covers his face with his hands, he's so embarrassed.]

Oh god...t-that was...forgive me...

[LET HIM DIE NOW KTHNX]

I SAW EVERYTHING

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler gives a shrug to show he's really not all that insulted]

Hey, I can't blame you. I am pretty tall compared to...uh... everyone.
