008: FORCED OUT OF THE ANGEL CLOSET. THANKS, ADMIRAL.

[uberboned]

[SO GABE'S A LITTLE ANNOYED, considering, you know, the Admiral revealed his ~~secret identity~~ and all that and Max is pissed at him. So here, Barge, have a grumpy archangel, officially coming out of the angel closet.]

OKAY. I GET IT. For the five people who didn't pay attention to the Admiral's announcement, yes, I'm actually Gabriel. Yep. That one. If the halo fits and all that. And y'know, there was a perfectly good reason for the deception, 'cause I don't like going around telling people I'm an archangel. It's a personal thing and not a "let's play a massive joke on the Barge to see if they'll buy it" thing. Okay? Okay.

And before I get a hundred questions about the same damn thing, lemme clear some stuff up for you guys.

1. Yes, I have wings. My vessel, unfortunately, does not, so no you can't see them, unless you're not that fond of your eyes. 

2. I have never, in my entire billions of years in existence, had Shirley temple curls. Okay?

3. The Virgin Mary has a wicked right cross. True story.

4. No, you don't get to know why I'm pretending to be a Trickster. That information's on a need to know basis, and, look at that! You people don't need to know.

Hope that clears everything up.

[There's a click, a long silence, then a nervous squeak and a flail before it clicks off.]

Yeah, that's what Mary said. Before she punched me in the jaw.

[HOLY CRAP HE SPOKE TO HER fldsjfdkjfsdlk]

...She really punched you?

Yep! Contrary to popular belief, that's how women typically react when some guy tells 'em they're gonna get knocked up by God.

[dlsjf HOW DOES ONE RESPOND TO THAT?] She must have been strong, for you to remember.

Well, you don't really forget a tiny woman punching you in the jaw in the middle of your holy revelation, kiddo.

[Sounding a bit surprised--occasionally she forgets that not everyone has the same problems remembering things. :| ] Oh. That's true. Do you get punched a lot for bringing messages to people?

Not as a general rule, no. That time, I wasn't expecting it.

Did she get punished?

I think getting knocked up by God and having to explain that to her new hubby was punishment enough, don't you?

[Loooooong silence.] Um.
