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

[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.

How do you know? How can you say that, when none of those gods actually exist, but just the very idea of them, the very idea they would take blood sacrifice and dedications to their absurd godhood is enough to twist religion, to twist morality, to create human beings who would do disgusting things in the name of something which isn't even real. You might say nobody does anything like that in your name, but but how do you know that, a hundred years down the line, someone won't pick that up and use it to manipulate people into murder?

You're associating yourself with that. That is offensive to me. I'm sorry, if it's what you thought was necessary, but it is offensive.

I think you've made your point. And I respect that point. And, uh... Respectfully... Bow out of this discussion.

...thank you. I appreciate it.

...You're welcome.

He doesn't pick on people who don't deserve it! And Azi broke him out of his righteous fervor.
