[Revali's face when he sees someone else here is of pure annoyance. Oh, great. Fine. Frankly, he has a bit of a feeling that, if he tried to back down now, Medli would have many objections. Today she has been trying so hard to get him to rein in the aloof disdain he feels towards the majority of the people here, much to his chagrin. He can pretty much feel her disapproving stare]
Seeing how you're here I may as well get some information from you.
[Definitely not mentioning he's talking to someone else because his daemon is pretty much forcing him to. Extending a wing towards the angels, he demands to know:]
What exactly are these winged...
[...what were most people here, again? Not Hylians! Damn, he didn't find out the terminology. Well, whatever]
...people who seem to be so valued in this city, if their likeness being used to hold this temple-like place is any indication?
[The search 'are there theaters in hyrule' brings no useful results. Well! The kingdom isn't in much state to have entertainment like theater plays in the middle of the Calamity, anyway!]
[ Joonghyuk isn't want to try to play nice when he doesn't want to. He can tolerate presences when he wants to, act out when he doesn't want to. Revali is fine. ]
They are angels. [ ... ] Are there gods where you are from?
Of course there is. The Goddess Hylia, the one who protects Hyrule and whose powers are bestowed on the royal princess of the kingdom, to defeat the evil in the land! [He leans forward, looking at the statues with some befuddlement] In a way these look similar, but there's no way depictions of Goddess Hylia would be found so far away from home!
[And since it's not her, it's something else -- something that looks similar]
I see. So it's possible this building is some sort of temple, left in disuse by the inhabitants of this town, now abandoned by the gods and their messengers.
[I have needed to check so many things in Google along the lines of 'does x exist in hyrule'. Well, not that things are too great for culture and entertainment in Breath of the Wild anyway, what with it being medieval times and having the Calamity and all hanging over everything, hah]
For...singing. A place this grand, for entertainment only. It's...
[Okay Revali seems to be having a bit of trouble trying to comprehend such a thing. He looks kind of frustrated, really! Mostly because he would have never been able to figure out it was for this, if he hadn't asked questions]
Does that mean you had seen stuff like this before? Where you're from. All this is commonplace, something that's everywhere?
[He's hoping the answer is no, somehow! That he's not the only one who is feeling lost as hell about the things seen in this city!]
... A place so large usually is popular by the rich with the best seats in the most populated city. [ He strokes his chin and tilts his head. ] You can say it's entertainment for the gods, too.
Or some people would justify they are entertaining the gods themselves.
Regardless of its function, this has some sort of connection with the gods. Divine protection isn't reliable, but perhaps, in an emergency, they'd turn to this place for help...
[Welp! Only one thing to do, eh?]
It's worth checking every inch of this place. Something may have been left behind.
[After moving one of the angel statues on this opera house aside, there will be a dungeon underground, where for some reason Revali's bow is stashed in a chest and some sort of weird cursed creature in need of being defeated. Obviously!
Well, no. This most likely is the place for the trial, really, but still!]
[ He follows Revali because he's also curious if there's anything that just... Appears misplaced. It's hard to discern anything outside of mini-cyoa, especially, but they can at least enjoy the extravagant architecture of this place. ]
[Can't wait for the reveal they missed a corpse and around seven important clues because it was not in a mini CYOA. Murdergames makes all characters have selective eyes]
Is that so? I did have a talk with Shamsiel. I didn't see wings on them, but they could simply be hidden.
[Although that must be seriously uncomfortable, in his opinion. Then again, hey, nobody has ever said statues and pictures are all 100% accurate]
I don't trust any of them not even one bit. Even if they are angels that doesn't mean we should have to listen to anything they say.
[That could just be Revali's defiant attitude speaking, really! As far as he's concerned he's completely siding with everybody else who got brought here, not with some hypothetical angels. At least he can be more or less certain the rest of his partners in misfortune are on the same boat as him, and right now? That's enough to get him to join forces with them all]
[Honestly looking forward to CYOAs and the such. I haven't done such things ever before, so that's bound to be fun!]
Which one did you talk with? Did they try to get you to do anything or convince you to join them? Anything?
[He's assuming Joonghyuk already contacted them as well because hey, he seems like someone who has a good head on his shoulders and is reliable enough. Someone like him probably is doing just as much as Revali to try to make things make sense one way or another!]
I called upon the other group since the Celestials had enough exposure.
[ He crosses his arms. ]
They repeated some of the same information that the Celestial Watchers did, but mentioned that the two groups aren't allowed to interact much. Whatever dispute or rift between them in place must be strong.
What were they like, whoever you talked with? Are they also trying to make themselves seem mild like two of the three that came out of the tower did?
[He's...sounding a tad less aggressive when he says that, because after talking to them he's not entirely sure Shamsiel and Suriel's personalities were an act to get their guard down. He's actively trying to still be standoffish to them, but it's a little harder when they're respectful towards you]
Shamsiel was rather interested in asking questions about me, for some reason. Do I really seem like the kind of person that'd look at anyone favorably if they flatter me?
[Were Shamsiel and Suriel sincere about wanting to know about him? Were they getting him to talk about himself to make him more receptive to them? Who knows.
Also Revali totally is the kind of person to like you more if you admire him, he goddamn thrives on acknowledgement, geez]
[...although he really hopes it's not simply because of his physical appearance. He may be very egotistical but he'd rather to be recognized for his hard work and not for anything else]
It's not like they can say that much about what's going on, anyway -- I didn't get to ask all I wanted before they said they couldn't answer it. It's like... [Revali hops off the statue, not having found anything worthwhile] ...it's like they're waiting for something to happen. And then that's when they can talk.
[What, exactly, is it they're waiting? He has no idea, really. But he fully expects it to be, who knows, the arrival of something else, or an attack by what caused all the adults in town to have to leave.
truthfully a murdergame is definitely not the sort of thing he would ever imagine and therefore thats going to come like such a swerve hes immediately throwing bottles with messages to demand explanations privately once that particular shoe drops god]

Date: 2021-09-29 05:14 pm (UTC)... People desperate enough would call demons angels.
[ So to say, Joonghyuk agrees in being suspicious of them. Guides or not. ]
At the very least, they're our connection to whatever it is that brought us here. We may learn more from them.

I recommend speaking to them in private—one that matches the sign on your coin.
