Calamus 002

[An angel with white wings unfolded appears on the plane, poking determinedly at something that appears to be an iPhone. It makes a very odd picture, as he's wearing flowing robes, sandals, and a sword at his hip. After a moment he scowls and looks around.]

All right, where are you, Crowley? I've managed to access these... lewd messages of yours, but how do I get rid of them? Do you realize where I was?! That ring-thing kept playing every five minutes, they were all staring, and then I tried to make it stop and that message about whatsispants getting... getting... sexually excited started playing to the entire room!

By "war council", I get the impression that you're an angel of the smiting variety. So let me save you some trouble and give you the name Detective Michael Tritter. Satan incarnate. He eats kittens for breakfast. Literally.

I don't smite. Who are you? And who eats kittens?

War council makes it sound pretty suspicious, though. And I told you, Tritter. Bent cop.

Dr. James Wilson. At your service.

Well I'm rather busy with the Apocalypse at the moment, but I'll certainly keep him in mind. [Yes, that was sarcasm.] Though I have to say your offering him up with such enthusiasm makes me doubt your own motives, Dr. Wilson.

I'm an atheist, that's why. Being a doctor makes it a bit harder to believe in God. So I'm not scared of whatever purgatory exists because I don't believe in it. Besides, living afraid of sin, that's just boring.

{A pause} Good luck with the Apocalypse, though.

Living in fear of sin isn't the point. And I have to say, your faith in atheism must be quite powerful given the situation.

[Blink.] Oh. Thank you.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Never had much faith in God.

And it isn't my place to convert the unwilling. [He sighs.] It's almost refreshing, really, to encounter doubt these days.

Never thought I'd hear that from an angel. Actually, never thought I'd hear anything from one.

There are plenty of things I would deny saying, should the proper authorities ask. [He contemplates this for a moment, then shrugs.]

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Then you're way more interesting of an angel than the Bible would have ever let on.

Am I? [He seems surprised at that.] Angels as a whole aren't so bad, really. Generally. Well, some of the time.
