Sylvester Wilton has opened communication!

[The camera pans around to what, at first glance, is not recognisable as the walls of the Cave. This is mostly because they've been decorated with a pattern of yellow, orange and red circles underlaid by purple and blue tartan. A close look will prove that in places--the places which are most shadowed--the new colour scheme doesn't hold up, like an untrained painter took shortcuts, but from a distance and where there's a lot of light, it looks entirely authentic. Given the glow of the crystals? The effect is rather ... startling.

[And Gabriel, while sounding tired, also sounds entirely like a cat who just lapped up a whole bowl of cream after being denied it for weeks prior.]

Isn't this just beautiful?

[The camera whizzes around suddenly to focus on the archangel's grinning face. He raises his eyebrows once, twice in quick succession.]

Catch me if you can, boys!

[And then the camera shuts off. The new paintwork will last four or five hours before fading as if it had never been there.]
