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.

HE DOESN'T KNOW :( and the truth hurts sometimes, Howie

I do know, but to paint someone with the same brush merely because they've borrowed the mantle of identity isn't wise either. More to the point, I'm certain you know that.

I don't mean to lecture you, it's just that you seem very... tense about it.

this time, can we put away the truth, please? tense? Howie? not tense at all.

He chose that identity. He chose to associate himself with gods which are, firstly, entirely false, and, secondly, used to invoke blood sacrifice and immortality. If I went and spent time with the National Front, you'd think I was a racist, wouldn't you?

I'm not tense, I just have a point.

no Az can't put away truth it's his job :(

I would be shocked if Gabriel had done anything of the sort. It was used as a cover, not as the truth. He isn't delusional. And I'd think you were a member of the National Front, not necessarily that you were racist; it is my disposition by nature not to judge others based on their actions or appearances.

You do indeed have one, but in this case it is serving only to bring you stress. God cares more about your well-being than of your opinion on pagan deities, I assure you.

but you're making mr stiff upperlip cry here. sorta. :/

I never said he was delusional. I never said that he condoned such actions, either. I merely think it's quite offensive to, even by pretence, associate yourself with something that can be used in such a way. And besides, the National Front espouse racist ideology; it's a fair conclusion to say that if I gave money to them, even if I didn't believe in it, I'm supporting and encouraging it by some kind of proxy.

...It...

That really isn't the point. I'm not exa...nevermind.

awww way to make the angel feel guilty :< :<

I truly don't mean to upset you and I'm sorry if I have. Would you rather resume the conversation later, once you've had some time? We're certainly not going anywhere.

you both just went and pushed a ton of nasty, nasty buttons. dammit.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...It's alright, you don't... you don't understand, and it's hardly your fault at all.

I just can't

he never expects people to have buttons, unfortunately. lol

[tartaned.livejournal.com]

You know I'll help if I can. I really am sorry.

howie needs a hug now, thanks to you. bloody angels.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Don't apologise, and I know you would, but there's... it's not like that.

[tartaned.livejournal.com]
