Feather 01

[Aziraphale appears on the Plane. He makes a slight face, looking around curiously despite himself] I wonder if this is some sort of trick? I can't really feel any sort of demonic or angelic energy coming from this place, but you never know. I do hope this isn't about Armageddon again; it wasn't troublesome enough avoiding the first time around.

It is a rather beutiful view though, better than anything you see in London. Or Earth for that matter. I suppose I might as well enjoy it while I figure something out.

. . . Oh, now that's just got my curiosity all piqued.

One can't expect those Upstairs to take too kindly to our interactions, or vice versa.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . Ah, I see. Working for the other side, sort of thing?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

Basically. Thankfully for us, they're hardly going to take notice of the activities of a lowly Angel or Demon.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . So, what, you're a lowly Angel who averted the Apocalypse? That-- well, it doesn't sound very lowly, to tell you the truth, mate.

It wouldn't be fair for either of us to take credit for that; it was all Adam, really. Wondrous boy, grew up free of the influence of both Heaven and Hell. So in the end he turned out purely human.

[hm, the Doctor is missing the first half of this conversation, he thinks.] I-- see?

-- Sorry, a bit slow. Who's Adam, again?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

Just the Antichrist, Son of Satan.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Just the Antichrist.

. . . Right, suppose that's just an everyday thing for you.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

Not exactly, it was quite a few years in the making.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Right. So you're saying that the son of Satan put an end to the Apocalypse? Seriously? What would he go and do that for?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

Because he grew up completely and utterly human.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . Huh, really? Well, I suppose humans can be wonderful a great deal of the time, but-- I would've thought a human boy would be thrilled with the prospect of blowing something up.

He turned out much better than if either side had gotten their say in things. They were all too eager to end the world and start anew, if you ask me.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Suppose it makes sense. Starting things fresh means leaving a sort of power vacuum, I suppose.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid Adam's reasoning wasn't as concise as that.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Well! Lucky for your world that it wasn't, I reckon.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

[smiles] I suppose so.
