Ahem! Well! [he is standing in front of a window again, light dazzling off his pure white wings and he is practically glowing]

Hello, everyone.

I admit times seem a little hard and we are inclined to be grumpy. That Dreamfinder is unfortunately missing again and that the townspeople aren't fond of us. I do believe that is less to do with us and more to do with --well-- times have been hard and Dreamfinder has been a bit concerned or was the last time I spoke -- Anyway, the important thing is! To keep our own spirits up and to be kind and understanding to one another as we may.

My last message I was a bit of--well a bit tetchy. So I'd like to apologize to anyone I got off on the wrong foot.

And especially perhaps to you, er, Beetlejuice. [what a name] I would most sincerely like to apologize to you for the horrible way I've treated you. Demon or not, you don't deserve such a hard time and that you tease others, well [it's just a reflection of your own insecurities really] no one is perfect.

Of course it is perfectly within your rights not to accept my extended hand of friendship and apology, but it is there for you whenever you wish it.

Not even an Angel is Perfect.


[and he beams beatifically, slants of light glinting around him as if a chorus might sing at any moment]

Angels can possess others? You know I suppose we can. [he'd never thought of it, but demons could and they were of the same stock]

What on earth had him possess you though? It seems a bit... much. And it also seems like a rough world to be in. Oh, I'm sure the Almighty has a plan for it and everything, sometimes it's difficult to see why things are the way they are. Ineffable, I call it. But still. I cannot imagine. [he clicks his tongue and sips his tea]

Mm. In my world, yes, they have no physical form.

He needed a body to accommodate him, I had the correct physiology, a combination of genealogy and power, maybe. How could I refuse an angel when there were children's lives - and souls - at stake? I was sixteen and fit right and he couldn't do it himself. It was worth it in the end.

It is a rough world. I'm surprised I wasn't rounded up and killed. On a good note, we did save the kids and spent over ten years saving the world just a little bit at a time. There was a difficult period of adjustment and he wound up augmenting my body a little but I taught him about humanity. And manners.

[Her smile was soft as she sipped her tea. Ineffable? Yeah. That was about right.]

He said I made him a better angel and it's not like God smote him for it.

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Well I suppose that does save on the paperwork, but goodness! I don't know how anyone gets anything done without a corporeal form of their own! You know your own place is so much better than a rental.

[he sips his tea, then realizes what he just sort of implied]

No offense.

And do you know? I don't think God smites as much as She used to. Back in the day, well! You knew when you were in trouble. But She seems to have gotten more lenient and thank Her for that!

At any rate, I'm glad the two of you --er -- got on.

[darksmokerising]

I'm not sure why angels from my world don't have forms of their own. Ah, no offence taken - you're right. Having one's own body is better. I do have to say, though, I enjoyed the company while it lasted.

I'm glad God doesn't smite as much. God in my universe was always referred to as male. I always wondered if somewhere else was different, I'm glad to know it is. I always though the concept of God a female seemed more intuitive to me.

[She sips her tea thoughtfully and smiles.]

In the end, I think it was a wonderful arrangement. I learned more with him than I would any other teacher I could dream up and he learned just as much. It's really wonderful to have had the chance. I don't think I'd ever take it back. I think I would have said yes no matter what.

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Oh the Almighty is All of whatever universe. However She or He chooses to manifest, well that depends, doesn't it? Though for my own part I believe the Almighty is above such things as gender and tries them on as it suits. Though, Goodness, I haven't Heard from her in a long time.

[he smiled a bit]

You must miss him a great deal. ...Perhaps you may see him again. I don't know how such things work where you're from but... I hope that you can meet once more.
