[The angel is currently sitting at the bar, looking very uncomfortable. He's sipping at a glass of wine, the bottle besides it nearly empty now.

He also keeps squirming in his seat, shifting and crossing his legs, muttering something under his breath]

.....yes?

[mercwamouth]

Good answer.

[Swig of beer]

So "Dogma" was wrong? You guys can drink?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

Which dogma, exactly? The church has quite a few of those, you know.

[mercwamouth]

The "Dogma" of Kevin Smith.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard of it or him, which is odd. Is is one of the more recent dogmas?

[mercwamouth]

Made in 1999.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

Same year the Apocalypse almost happened. Maybe that's why I missed it?

Upstairs is usually the one that notifies me of these things.

[mercwamouth]

Oh, Upstairs probably wasn't responsible for this one. This was a movie.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

A mo- oh, that makes a lot more sense. Rather glad, too.

It's part of the job description to keep up with these things, you know.

[mercwamouth]

It's a funny movie though. You'd like it. Probably make you less depressed.

Speaking of which, what's up with that?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

I'm not depressed! Mostly just miserable, and annoyed at Crowley.

[mercwamouth]

What he do?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

[ff, uncomfortableness] He was a demon, and apparently succeeded in tempting me. Because I did not will this myself on purpose. I don't even know how humans handle such constant thoughts. It's no wonder the poor things have so much trouble getting through the day.

[mercwamouth]

...So wait, you wanna hook up with Crowley?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

I don- It's this body!

[mercwamouth]

So the body is gay but you're not?

[Deadpool, so not helping. The angel lets his forehead fall on the counter, making a hollow thumping noise] The Arrangement never covered this.

[mercwamouth]

Well I'm sure drinking helps.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

I suppose something stronger might help. [Looks up, and wills a bottle of scotch into existence, along with two glasses] Please feel free to help yourself if you like.

[mercwamouth]

Always do.

[Glug.]

So why not just give in? Like, I get that you're an angel and all, but you can't be perfect all the time. I mean, you're drinking.

[exensis.livejournal.com]

[pours a cup for himself, not hesitating in the least before downing it all down] It's more than that. Crowley's a friend, and our superiors probably wouldn't be thrilled.

[mercwamouth]

Meh, what's the worst they could do? Send you to Wisconsin?

[exensis.livejournal.com]

They could declare me Fallen. I can't be a fallen angel, that would make me a demon. I'm rubbish at torturing and tempting mortals; probably wouldn't last a day, much less eternity.

Or they could send me back to heaven. The other angels would never let me live it down. And I can't imagine that Gabrielle would be too pleased, especially after that whole flaming sword fiasco; he refuses to stop bringing that up every time we talk. Oh, and the Voice of God, can't imagine he'd take lightly to it, might even forbid me to return to Earth, and- [He's just going to stop there, because talking is making him more flustered. Instead, he pours himself another glass, looking miserable all the while]

[mercwamouth]

I could cut your junk off for ya.
