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.

Aziraphale's here. No one's questioning his presence. What? Higher tier angels can't save souls?

It just seems...different. I feel like you have some more important heavenly duties to be doing.

I skipped out of Heaven a long time ago to pursue a solo career as a pagan demigod. Trust me. There's nothing in Heaven I wanna be doing right now.

You--but aren't you kind of...important?

Second highest-ranked angel in Heaven. Don't sweat it, bucko. Michael's got enough self-righteous fury for twenty archangels.
