"Look it was just a little accident, please be reasonable..." Kanel said, looking up at the sentencing judge. He wasn't exactly a career criminal in mind. Maybe he was not the most morally upstanding angel, but not exactly a despicable guy. His biggest crime was mostly being clumsy. Ironically, it was due to his clumsiness on the job that had wound him up here on trial, staring up at the bearded man high up on the palpate. One of the Archangel Judges, Kanel forgot his name. He was more just scared of everything.
The old angel rapped his fingers on his judge�s desk, looking over the floating documents detailing the offense. "You caused an earthquake that caused a human nuclear power plant to rupture its containment... Ahead of schedule no less. Because you set it off early, 10 humans died, some of them the wrong ones too." The older man definitely looked displeased. He was a paragon of order and the law though. If one thing was bound to piss this judge off, it was someone doing something out of scheduling. The severity of the consequences, Kanel realized, probably didn't piss him off nearly as much as the filing discrepancies that would occur soon.
 
"But..." the judge said, his tone softening, "your little blunder did cause a rise in nuclear safety awareness, potentially spearheading more research into its cleanup which may help humans in the coming years of advancement. Therefore, your sentence will be reduced..."
Kanel blinked, shifting around and looking up while trying not to stare at the brilliant light shining down from behind the judge. Instead he focused on the balanced series of scales the judge had used at the beginning of the trial, already leaning towards guilty. This did sound too good to be true though. "Wa-what?" Kanel cried out in shock, trying his best not to sound excited.
"You'll be given 3 years intensive sentencing." The judge replied. He was most likely using Earth year time, since their time was measured in different increments. "It will be a severely shortened sentence, due to the benefits ahead of schedule you inadvertently caused, but the severity will be increased for the duration. Your sentencing will be... "Julia"...." He said that last bit after musing. The two guards on either side of Kanel murmured a bit, but Kanel couldn't care. He had been worried he'd be imprisoned for thousands of years for this infraction, possibly with vultures eating his liver or something. This judge was known for his creative punishments throughout the ages.
 
The angelic gavel banged, sending a rippling bell-like hum throughout the sentencing room. "You will be escorted there immediately, and your sentence time will start from the moment you are admitted to the prison. Court adjourned."
 
 
 
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
The light hurt his eyes a little. Heavenly light was a bit different on the other planes, and really never being outside of those particular realms, he wasn't used to the change. The shackles, while not heavy, did have the weight of a punishment bearing down on him. It seemed a bit warmer here too. "Oh my g-..." Kanel opened his eyes. He had been expecting to be sentenced to some darker corner of hell from the way it had sounded. The increasing severity of punishment made him expect the worst. Instead nothing was on fire at all. Sunlight was pouring out through the windows, curtains drawn over them. They were standing on a rather large desk, a computer humming in sleep mode like a mountain next to them. This wasn't hell, this was Earth. He was being sentenced to earth, though everything looked much bigger than he would have expected.
 
"Spatial plane warping..." the guard on his left muttered, as if reading his mind.�Size of things is determined by the physical-plane mass they have. We angels are made from mostly spiritual plane mass, so unless we pass through special converters on our way here, this is our real size. Many humans appear tiny if they're brought to heaven, because of the same effect."
"R-right..." Kanel was barely listening. They were standing on top of some lined papers. On the other side of the room, there was a book case with several stuffed animals and a few figurines were, as well as books. A couple posters were on the walls, though not being as familiar with earth culture, he didn't know if these were for "Movies" or "Bands" or something.
 
Beneath those posters was a mountain of blankets and a bed. The sheets and blankets were pink for the most part. That�s when he noticed a head of hair at the top, resting on the pillow, long brown locks cascading down the back. It was a human, a girl. They were in a girl's room. "Oi!" The guard on his right yelled out. Kanel suddenly cringed, not knowing what was going on. They were supposed to remain outside the awareness of most humans. "Julia! You up yet!"
Julia? Wasn't that the word the judge had said?
 
The girl tossed over, grumbling about five more minutes, though she blinked. Kanel blushed. She was actually pretty cute looking, though he suddenly had the realization of their difference in size when the started to stand up. The sound of the bed creaking could be felt. The girl walked over to the desk, still sleepy eyed in her kitty-print pajamas and her hair frazzled, looking down at the three angels the size of the figurines on her bookshelf. She was pretty cute looking even at this height, with long brown hair, green eyes, and a semi-athletic frame that looked like she enjoyed sports to a degree. Though contrasting with her physique was that she had a bit of a potbelly poking out from her shirt, and wrappers strewn around her desk coupled with this clearly indicated a constant desire for snacking on sweets. "Huh? Shateinai, Noriel?"
"Got another one who was sentenced to you, Julia." Noriel on the prisoner's right said, looking up at the girl and talking in a pretty normal, business like tone. Even a hint of familiarity.
"Been a while, I almost thought you guys forgot about me. I guess not bringing a lot of people here isn't a bad thing though..." her mouth opened wide though before Kanel could peer deeply into the horrifying abyss of this giant girl, her blue-nailed hand shot up to cover the yawn. "One sec guys. School starts in a bit and I've got to get ready first."
She scratched her stomach in a somewhat unceremonious manner, it growling loudly like it was ready for a good solid breakfast. Kanel shook a little bit. He was used to being out classed in angelic rank, but being utterly significant in anyone�s eyes was very new to him, and this giant girl made him feel like just that.
 
Her feet slapped against the floor, muffled a bit by the carpeting, as she walked away and entered the bathroom, the door locking behind her. As the door had opened, he could see what looked like a school uniform hanging on it. Grey with white accents, sailor style with a pleated skirt and a red ascot. Minutes past and the sound of running water, accompanied by some off key humming, ensued.
 
"Wait... that�s Julia?" Kanel blurted out, unable to retain his surprise anymore.
Shateinai nodded. "Yes."
"A human is working for heaven?" Kanel continued while still a bit dumbfounded.
"Yes. She has exceptional spiritual ability too, making her a good candidate for divine part time work, amongst other qualities."
"No shit..." The prisoner looked at the door, still trying to make sense of this. The judge said his punishment was going to be severe despite its shortness. He was sentenced to "Julia" so it obviously had something to do with this girl. Maybe he was supposed to be her pet or guardian angel? In a place that prized freedom of thought like heaven, enslavement could be considered a supremely harsh punishment after all, especially if the master was a cruel and sadistic one. That�s why so many punishments in angelic court were different elaborate forms of imprisonment or restriction; the severest punishments were to have freedom taken away. But Julia didn't seem like she'd be a cruel girl, in fact the room indicated a rather pleasant person, an average high school girl.
 
Maybe he was supposed to be her guardian angel? If she were horribly accident prone or constantly under moral duress, that could also be an amazingly excruciating punishment. Oh... what if she were death prone and he'd be the thing constantly looking out for her clumsy self and keeping her alive? That would be the most taxing punishment. Still, he felt like if it was for 3 years, he was getting off easy. Kanel's train of thought was interrupted as the showering stopped. A few minutes later and the door opened.
 
Julia's long brown hair was brushed back, held in places with a red hair band, and she was busy tying on her ascot. The uniform top draped over her well, though even that couldn't entirely hide the fact that she had that potbelly underneath. She had some minty floss still between her teeth, which she turned too after her uniform's ascot was tied. Her blue nailed toes slapped against the floor as the much more awake and peppy girl approached the table again, still cleaning her teeth. "Ahh! That was refreshing."
"I bet it was." Kanel replied, his slightly more at ease state making him more open. After all, if he were going to be stuck to this girl for 3 earth years, it was best to make friendly as soon as he could.
Julia stopped flossing a second and looked down, noticing him just now. "Ahh..." She smiled, pulling the floss away. "You must be the new guy. Talkative little one, aren't ya?" She had a very warm smile, it was actually pretty disarming. Kanel could at least judge some character and he noticed it was a pretty honest smile. This was a good honest girl. "What�s your name, little guy?"
"Er... Kanel..." The prisoner replied. This was going better than he expected.
"Sentence 3 years..." Noriel read off of a scroll. "For unintentional triggering of a small-scale calamity, though with inadvertently positive side effects on the human race."
 
Julia patted Kanel on the head. "Aww, poor guy. It was just an accident huh? Hey you even did some good though." She beamed down at him. "Be proud. I'll try to make sure things aren't too rough on you."
Kanel blushed as he felt the large hand pat him. "Y-yeah..."
"Anyway..." Noriel cut him off. "You have school soon don't you? Let�s proceed with the incarceration."
Wait. Incarceration? Wasn't he here already? Wasn't being stuck with Julia supposed to be his prison?
The hand patting him suddenly grabbed around him. She shackles fell off as Noriel undid them. "Well little Kanel, looks like I got to hurry up here." Julia's lips must have been a bit dry, because she was licking them a lot.
"W-wait I thought I was supposed to be your property or something... guys... guys what�s going on here?" Kanel cried out nervously.
"Your punishment," Shanteinai started. "�Was internment in Prison �Julia�. She is also your warden... bottoms up Julia..."
 
Kanel saw it as the girl's soft hand gently raised him upwards. Her shirt was pulled up a bit over her potbelly and he could see faint glimmers of angelic runes tattooed over her skin. Normal people wouldn't see them, but he could see them plain as day: they were security runes, containment runes, spatial manipulation and shaping runes, and so on. Things that were usually present on various warehouses and... Prisons...
"Itadakimasu...." Julia's voice boomed at him. The girls pink smiling lips suddenly widened as he was raised overhead. Wider and wider, until the gentle smiled disappeared to be replaced with a gaping hole. Her pink tongue lashed about and behind he could see a dangling uvula. "What.. No... No please, no!" Kanel squirmed in her hand, her nails scratching him a bit. But the girl only dropped him closer to her mouth, and shoved him in.
 
His wings got in the way a bit, still sticking out of her mouth as if she were trying to keep a small bird trapped in there. Kanel was encompassed by intense minty winter freshness, even a bit of toothpaste getting on him from her molar. The giant boulder-like white teeth surrounded him, threatening to chew him up like a piece of food, while little bits of daylight still flooded in past her soft pink lips. "L-let me out! I'll take a longer punishment!" he yelled, her tongue feeling around him like some slimy mint-scented tentacle. It was like it was probing... oh god, she was tasting him. It lapped against his chest and back, slowly moving him back towards the dark chasm drop off. "I'll do anything! I�ll serve 40 years!" closer still. "50 years!" His feet slipped off the edge and he just barely held onto the tongue. "100 years! 200!" his wings slurped past her lips. "Please I'll do anyth-"
 
His pleas couldn't be heard. Julia just lifted her chin, tilting her head back, and swallowed. A resounding gulp echoed around them, almost enhanced by the unique being traveling down her esophagus and struggling the whole way. He stopped for a moment, but without skipping a beat, Julia gulped again, sending the angel deep into her gullet until he disappeared entirely past her collarbone. Her fingers were pressed against the lump the entire way, her metallic blue nails following Kanel's descent into her tummy. It wasn't until seconds later that a squelching noise could be heard and her potbellied stomach gave off a gigantic gurgle. Even Shantenai and Noriel were shaken a little. They never really got used to seeing Julia do her work, and the weirdest part was how much she enjoyed it. The girl in question was rubbing her stomach now, feeling the protesting new prisoner join the ranks of others struggling against the walls of the prison inside of her. She was told that her stomach was unique in that it was spatially warped to be a large complex in there, much bigger and more complex on the inside than just a simple sack for food. She had never seen it though, but she could definitely feel everything in there. If she concentrated she could see them too, even communicate directly if she wanted too. The space inside her body was under her complete mastery and control. She was the head Warden of the prison Julia.
 
The girl was blushing, and her hand strayed down towards her skirt, feeling around underneath.
"Eh-hem..." Noriel cleared his throat. This snapped Julia back to earth, and her face grew bright red as she looked embarrassed down at the tiny angel.
"S-sorry Noriel... it�s just the new sensation of a prisoner and..." She stammered on. "Er... I guess pleasuring myself in front of an angel probably isn't the best thing to do."
Both the angels looked away a little. "Don't worry its� er... it�s um... Natural? Anyway, let�s just keep this professional for now Julia. What you do as warden on your own time... we don't have to report on."
The angel suddenly snapped his fingers. "Oh! That reminds me. It�s your bi-monthly pay day..." He waved his hand and a stack of fresh bills suddenly appeared on her desk. Two of them to be precise. "As always, you get a bonus for taking on new prisoners." The angel chuckled. "Don't spend it all in one place, alright Julia."
The girl was already flicking through the money, and she turned a pouting face towards Noriel. "I-I won't! I swear I'm responsible!"
"Hey isn't that the B3Cker's New album..." Shanteinai suddenly asked, pointing to a case on the far end of the desk. "Ooh that�s the limited edition version too. They only had a few copies of that released, right?" he flashed a sly grin at her. "That must have cost you quite a bit."
 
The girl practically threw her belly on the table in front of him, poking it with her finger. "Hey! What I do with my money is my own business, ok Shanteinai? Unless you want to do your tour inspection of the prison, you better stop teasing me on this." She licked her lips threateningly at him. She actually liked these two guys; they were actually kind of buddies, if at least on a professional basis, so this was all idle banter for the most part; Water cooler repartee. Though in Julia�s mind, she actually did wonder what Noriel and Shanteinai tasted like. Supposedly they had inspected her while she was sleeping but she never remembered the sensation of them inside of her. It had probably been preemptively wiped form her memory incase she didn't pass inspection.
 
"Hey hey... just kidding girl." he replied, just as the portal opened up. Noriel cleared his throat. "We'll send you the paper work to sign this afternoon for his incarceration, alright? We have to get going, there's another trial going on now..." he chuckled a little sadistically. "Who knows, we might have dinner ready for you when you get back."
Julia grinned down at him, unconsciously rubbing the area around her belly button where she felt a particular inmate, the new one, still struggling wildly. Maybe some of the other inmates were giving him a welcome greeting? "I'll be disappointed if you guys don't bring me anything!" She called, heading towards the door.
"If he's innocent, I owe you a pizza!" Noriel yelled out as the spritely young girl skipped out of her room. A plethora of ancient evils and incarcerated villains present in that sloshing tummy of hers. As Kanel stared at the pulsating walls of his warden's "prison", a rather large burly demon chuckling behind him with less than noble goals in mind for the newcomer, he knew one thing: Hell was a teenaged girl's stomach.
 
-Sentence 1, End.
