[ Oh, how he'd love to point out how never had to lift a finger to convince Aziraphale of anything much at all. The Angel of the Eastern Gate was almost as eager to go out into the field, as it were. Watch the humans evolve, what society become society. Hell, he'd been the one to introduce Crowley to certain things in the past!
But, his instinct is to tread carefully. Just in case. ]
Shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken, Gabe. Sure, they've made a bit of a tit of things, what with climate change and government corruption and decaff coffee, but it's not entirely awful.
Look, for every human that hates something, there's a dozen that love it. That includes pigeons. Surprised about dogs though; everyone around here seems to enjoy them.
'My nature', eh? I'd wager you know as much about my nature as I do about the taste of holy water.
Government corruption - don't get me started. We're inundated with thoughts and prayers and I
[Nope. He shoves that aside.]
...Yeah the dog thing confuses me. Dogs are pure creatures. They're a gift. Apparently there are some people who don't respect that. And as for your nature I have yet to see anything to the contrary.
Aziraphale thinks that I'm tough. I think the word is...hard ass? And you think I'm awful but I've got a lot on my plate here. God has delegated management of the cosmos to me and the other archangels and I'm ...tired.
Well, I mean- I think you can be a prick, sure. And I think you could benefit from pulling your head out of your arse long enough to realise that just because the Earth isn't the same as it was back at the start, it's still beautiful, and the people on it don't deserve Armageddon.
But...no. I don't think you're 'awful'.
Not that I imagine you care, particularly.
You're doing a job. I get it. Still wouldn't hurt for you to lighten up though, just a little.
he petitioned in - I want to say the 15th century? that we review the list of human entertainers that get into heaven. It was just approved so I'm researching.
We're consolidating things and trying to facilitate they don't bathe as often as I'd like. They've agreed to in order for us to prevent friendships like yours again
I have faith, and I'm confident my influence on Beelzebub will keep them in line.
We share a passion for efficiency! It's actually quite surprising how similar our two organizations have been running. Of course we're a bit more advanced but what the basement lacks in technology it makes up for in...ruthlessness.
It's a bit uncomfortable but again. It's all about time and influence. That dedication is admirable. Almost exciting.
Well that's just it. I can throttle them, and ultimately score a win for ourside. It's the perfect plan - that I'm relating to you because I know you hate your side just as much as I do and if you happen to betray me you know I'll do something terrible to the principality.

we're all cracking down on you folks, so. If you can't get me Aziraphale can you answer these questions?
no subject
Date: 2019-08-12 05:16 pm (UTC)Questions.
Yeah sure, fuck it. Why not. It's not like I'm doing anything.
no subject
Date: 2019-08-12 06:19 pm (UTC)What is. A lady Gaga.
/cackles
Date: 2019-08-12 06:39 pm (UTC)She's a famous singer, performer, all round celebrity.
What does that have to do with 'us folks'?
XD
Date: 2019-08-12 06:42 pm (UTC)She's devout? Holy?

Date: 2019-08-12 06:53 pm (UTC)A true example of piety if there ever was one.

Britney Spears is next on the list. Just as bad?
no subject
Date: 2019-08-12 10:34 pm (UTC)Eh, I'd say she's alright.
Why don't you focus more on the ones that're close to popping their clogs..? Britney's still got some decades in her yet.

Nay, the serpent
for help
to do your Angelic work.
Am I following you here?
no subject
Date: 2019-08-13 12:17 am (UTC)I'm not happy about this either. You'll all straighten up though. Beelzebub and I are working on a plan.

Date: 2019-08-13 11:16 am (UTC)Not a lot of room downstairs for bathrooms and showers.
...Seriously? You complain about having too much on your plate but you're actually putting energy into making sure our lot don't mingle?
You realise that if others want to follow our example, they'll find a way to..? Doesn't matter what you do.
You won't make more obedient Angels or Demons. You'll just make sneakier ones.

Or me, for that matter. We're perfectly happy staying out of the way.
:( he is a meanie
Date: 2019-08-19 11:28 pm (UTC)I'm sorry. I got a - I got a demerit for behavior so I should apologize. I am sorry. I didn't -
This just means a lot to me to do it right okay?
fairly sure he just aged Crowley by a few decades
Date: 2019-08-20 12:04 am (UTC)Still. If you could just go ahead and assume we're both retired, that'd be super.
You keep doing what you're doing; but I for one am enjoying the absence of paperwork.
oh no. oh no. D:
