[After some time, Gabriel decides to go ahead and announce his presence. Why in the hell not? Everyone else was doing it. He didn't know where he was. He didn't know who these people were. He didn't how he got here. He had just been stabbed through the chest by his brother. Screw it, he's retired.

So, the feed comes on to present a middle aged man who had the camera held out at arm's length, while he stood motionless with a smile and a thumbs up... It took him a second, but he eventually frowned and fumbled with the phone.]

It doesn't take selfies? Dude, that's lame.

[He adjusts the camera to show his happy face again.]

Hi, everyone! I have cash and a key to someone's apartment. Who wants to go get wasted and set something on fire?

[Thus is his mood.]

[Oh. Oh, Maria. Oh, he's going to like you. Ohoho. This one just loves authority.]

I'll try, but I don't know. I kinda have one of those problems.

I'm Gabriel. I was hoping we can get along with a whole lot of arson, but I guess I am still new here and all.

[F... For some reason Maria would doubt that he actually likes authority. Very much.]

[Honestly, she doesn't even know how to respond to someone who is so open about their destructive tendencies.]

It's... nice to meet you, Gabriel. That's a very... lovely name, I must admit. But... I say that we should avoid arson for the safety of the general populace. We wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

Oh, thank you. My Dad is great with names. Maria's a nice name, too.

[He likes compliments. Keep doing that instead of the whole "arson" thing.]

I can heal people instantly, F.Y.I. You know, if I wanted to. So yeah. Something to keep in mind.

[Cause that went in one ear and out the other.]

Well thank you. [For a moment, maria even smiles with a hint of pride. But then it's back to trying to justify arson... she can't even hide her momentary sigh.]

While that is an interesting ability, I don't think that actually changes anything... I'm sure lots of people here can heal, but... they don't go around burning people either.

[She raises a hand to her head in frustration. It's hard to believe she can even convince Gabriel to NOT burn things.] I suppose all I can do is... ask you nicely not to hurt anyone.

They are really wasting an amazing opportunity, if you ask me.

[People usually didn't ask him. For good reason.]

And you have! You were very nice and polite about it, too.

[Oh brother...]

[Maria clears her throat, since it seems she's not getting anywhere with Gabriel.] Well, um, Gabriel... I suppose I've done my best. I'll let you go about your business and try not to take any more of your time.

Just... if I could ask? Please don't set me or any of my friends on fire.

You're safe. You were so nice and everything.

I don't know who you're friends are, but let's just hope you don't hang around the unpleasant sort, yeah?

Unpleasant? Certainly not! I... suppose it depends what you mean by unpleasant. Amelia's my friend... she's just... quirky.

I like quirky. I imagine she's safe.

[And he'll remember the name.]

Ha! [For some reason, a guy who starts fires and Amelia sound like they'd get along so well.] She doesn't get out much, but maybe someday you'll meet her.

Well... if you have any problems, you can call me. I'll do my best to help you if I can.

Will do, miss ma'am!

[You know, if the fire gets way too out of hand.

... He likes you, Maria.]

[Strangely, she likes you too Gabriel.]
