[The feed comes on, and there's Gabriel, looking smug and somewhat ...devious...?]

Hah! You finally got Lucifer out the way! Just as planned! Now it's time for me, the archangel Gabriel, to take over this pathetic world! Bow down, mortals, bow to your new overlord! [There's even a dramatic crash of lightning before Gabriel smirks and ruins the illusion.] Only pulling your legs. Don't worry though, I heard the other one's got bells on it.

Well that was an interesting few weeks. You all caught Lucifer good and proper. Good for you guys, good for you. And before anyone asks I have no opinion on the matter, so don't bother asking- I know at least two of you that are just about foaming at the mouth to ask crap that I'm not gonna answer. Go rinse those mouths out.

So with the earth spitting up all manner of George Romero rejects and the Devil getting his first criminal record, what else is going down? There seems to be some new faces but then you could have been here ages and I just didn't notice. [Shrugs.] Oh and I suppose the Government is now being a super shady, craptastic organization. There's a surprise, never saw that one coming.

Oh man, you guys got to see this. [Turns the video feed to some guy on the street corner. He's obviously one of the more colorful preachers, billboard announcing that "ATHIESM IS A TEMPORARY CONDITION". The feed shakes slightly as Gabriel's laughing, obviously tickled by it.] Reckon I should go scare the bejesus out of him?

Same old, same old. [Crime sprees, possessing the free will of others, that kind of thing.]

Though really, you said that "archangel" thing with such a straight face. I'm impressed.

[larker]

Yeah tell me about it. I mean, God sure didn't have four sons who were all archangels. And one of them sure doesn't share the same name as me.

[Such good natured sarcasm, if people don't want to believe him then that's their issue not his.]

[vengefulshades]

Oh yeah. The one god thing. I forgot about that.

Most people aren't very religious where I'm from, but those who are tend to believe in multiple gods.

[It's a strange and mysterious place, where rotary phones dot the landscape.]

AUDIO.

[selfimage]

Are you really that bored?

[SIGH--oh Gabriel.]

You're really that bored. Make sure to get the whole thing on film, you may even get a loud, disapproving message from Mister Edgeworth. That is, of course, if he hasn't posted to you within the time that I press send.

[larker]

Eh so so. There's not too much going on.

[WHAT? It's funny, okay?]

I'm expecting Edgeworth to just dive out from behind a corner, disapproving look sharp enough to cut from fifty paces. He'll save this poor, hapless christian from my evil clutches. All before you hit send.

[ HEY guess who heard "angels are super powerful"? Noi did. ]

Archangel? You are super powerful, right?

Also, it's a pretty big blasphemy to call someone who can get arrested "Devil". The Devils I know wouldn't put up with any of this shit, much less get arrested. [ really, Noi is sick and tired of hear "Devil this" and "Devil that". As someone who worships the Devil, it's really crappy to keep hearing about the Lucifer who got arrested (how pathetic is that?) ]

[Video]

[larker]

[Welcome to the conversation.]

Yeah, comes with the territory.

And excuse you, don't give me crap for blaspheming. There's only one devil in my world, he got his ass arrested here because they had to take his powers away. Prior to that, no-one could nail him. So I'll call my brother whatever the Hell I want. Devil, Satan, Lucifer, dick, jerkface....

[Here's a new face--or new voice, really.]

You're an... angel? Archangel?

[larker]

[Hello new voice!]

It's just a title. Don't look into it too much.

[bulwank]

[He felt some yelling and a speech to bubble up in his throat at those first words, but it's quickly dispelled, thank god. Instead he'll latch onto yet another important issue. What is being casual anyway?]

This government has a habit of keeping much hidden, but the same can be said about many leading groups in many places I imagine. Though, I believe the reason for all this tension and secrecy lately is because they think that current events can be linked to a possible spy in their ranks.

Also, good evening Gabriel, sir.

[larker]

Good evening Gama.

[Thank goodness he avoided that scolding. Gabriel's ears would probably be ringing for weeks afterwards.]

If they have a spy in their ranks, then they are shit out of luck. Doubly so with a network like this. Everyone gossips on here like a bunch of hens, no-one can keep a secret.

Wait, what current events?

[inmyothertights]

Caught.

[larker]

Semantics.

[mercyisweakness]

Scare the government or the demon summoner?

[larker]

I was thinking more this douchebag with the sign.

[closetshark]

[Pitch is... somewhere that looks like an abandoned industrial site. It is.]

Oh, please do. I'd do it myself but I'm a bit busy at the moment.

[video]

[larker]

Oh really now? And just what shenanigans are you up to? Must be important if you're missing out on this.

[notdaredevil]

Was there a punchline somewhere in there...?

[Because this feels like a universal joke. If this is actually the Archangel Gabriel- who, angels being angels, could probably bullshit his senses but he's going to remain extremely dubious- this has to be a cosmic prank on all of them.]

[larker]

Punchline? Oh there's several in there. Anything in particular you were hoping for?

[databoner]

[Meanwhile, Inumuta already knows all this stuff. He's spoken to Gabriel enough that none of this is anything new to him. And so his attention is on...

That preacher.

Pushing his glasses up,]

How are you going to scare him?

[Because maybe he's bored too.]

video;

[larker]

No idea yet. Since he's of religious ilk, I might do a full on angel vision bomb on him, with cherubs and everything.....

....and then announce to him he's a stupid dick. See what kind of a crisis he has.

[imitari]

Oh.

So that's who he was.

[And she had such a normal conversation with him, too. Augh.]

So how does it work? Being an archangel around here.

[larker]

Yep. No-one important. Well, you get my drift on that.

[What? What kind of a question is that?]

How am I meant to know? I mean, how does it work being a human around here?

[thanatophobias]

You aren't upset?

[larker]

Why would I be? He was acting like a d- jerk.
