five { video } reflex hallucination

[ will had told abigail to stay away from some people (one people) in particular and she's pretty good at it when it comes to person to person stuff, but she knows the network opens her up to the possibility of running into them so to speak.

but she's doing it anyway, it's not like abigail is known for good life choices.

so here she is, chin propped in her hand as she sits at what looks like a dining room table. her long brown hair is down around her shoulders, as always, neatly covering her scars. things abigail will never get: a hair cut. ]

So, considering the recent events, I'm curious. Who here believes in god? Capital G, maybe lowercase, whatever one you like. It's probably been asked before, but-- [ she shrugs. she wasn't here, so she doesn't care. gonna ask it again. ] Devil and Heaven and all that jazz applies, too.

I'm just curious.

Not really. I mean, I understand why people do, though.

[ She raises an eyebrow. ]

Any particular reason you're asking?

Is there a reason. That no one. Told me.

[Oh yeah, he figures Abigail must have already made contact with Will before this address.]

...Abigail?

[The real Abigail? Not Chimera-Abigail?]

Holy shit. When'd you get back?

There was more than one god on my world.

i'm curious if anyone's answer is different
from what it would have been two weeks ago

[doodles a clock after seeing this]

The store is out of your rose lemonade. What's the alternative?

["Go to another store you shitty excuse for a father" is an acceptable answer!]

That's a potentially dangerous question to be askin' on a public network, y'know.

I'm not deeply religious or anything but yeah, I'm a believer.

[ a beat. ]

Hi Abigail. It's good to see you again.

[ I know she's on hiatus BUT THIS IS TOO GOOD A CHANCE TO PASS UP. ]

Kind of? I've met god before. We live together back home.

One doesn't have to believe in the Divine literally, Abigail. One can believe in their abstract conceptions.

[Oh, he's followed your public conversations and correctly noticed the pattern. The numbers. Our people. You bet he's going to slide into this conversion. He'll do it publicly. Hello, Will. Hello, Frederick. Look how close he is to you without being in your presence.]

[This is a very strange one to answer, because he's met Truth, and another name Truth gave himself was God. So in one way, Al has confirmation that there is one, but... But he doesn't quite buy that he is God, at least not in the sense that others believe.]

I'm not sure, I know there's something, but I don't know that I would call it a god.

[ Oh - huh. She remembers that face. There's a slight hesitation before Kitty decides that, well - Might be a face-twin, might be someone with no recollection of previous events, or it might be the same girl; regardless of any of those, the question's an interesting enough one that Kitty would sooner talk about that than linger in the past. ]

Personally, I believe that God probably exists in some worlds - after all, we've had enough gods show up here, right? But I don't think there's any God in mine. Nor in this one. [ A shrug - ] Though that's based more on assumptions than anything else, so I could be quite wrong.

What do you think?

[A well-dressed fellow in an all-black suit appears on comm. This is a name he recognizes from when Walter White hired him to snoop in Dr. Chilton's files. Although he actually has two ram horns that sprout from his skull and curl around his ears, they are glamoured to be invisible in almost every situation.]

I don't need to believe. I know. The Devil himself is here, actually. If that's not sufficient evidence, I don't know what is.

Why do you ask? Do you have sins to atone for?

Considering I've run into the shady side of that equation more times than you can shake a stick it, it'd probably make sense for the other half to exist is well.

God's probably out there somewhere. Laughing at me.

[ Video reply from the other room? Hell yes, video reply from the other room. The room Abby is in is so far and life is hard so please enjoy this view of april at her bedroom desk area]

Believe, eh. Why not. But it's not like anyone has faith in satan and stuff anymore.

Considering recent events —

[He's pretty sure they're not talking about the same set of events, but that doesn't really matter.]

— I'm leaning towards "maybe."

[ Abigail, this really does sound like calling him out. In that adorable way that is like a cute girl doubling back to flash a second smile at a man she's flirting with in the street. It's asking the question Lucifer himself wants to know the answer to, and honestly, he doesn't fail to notice the company she's keeping--Will, Chilton, Crane.

It's temptation, to drop in on her. Is it unreasonable assumption to believe that she's inviting him to do so?

So he smiles at the edge of his mouth, smiles in his eyes, as he pulls the video function up: ]

It's rude to ask questions without also answering them yourself.

Believe?

Do you?

I've known "gods" — lowercase 'g' — in my original world. Given power by one, chosen to fight against the others, that sort of thing. I'm not sure if they'd be called the same thing, in other worlds.

[ ruka sounds a little bored, but that's mostly because she only comments to the network when she's doing some tedious physical task. color-blocking, or refining miniscule details on a canvas. ]

Gods from worlds aside from my own, I've met those, too. But that's not really the same as "believing," is it? Certainly, I don't believe in Heaven or Hell... not as a destination for human souls, anyway. As other dimensions, attached to a human realm... maybe. Human spirits don't tend to go to the realms of monsters.

In the end, I suppose I believe in the god I knew. It's the reason I exist in the first place. It communicated to me, showed me visions—even the power I have comes from that god. If holiness exists, then I suppose I would be considered holy—but saying it like that sounds silly, doesn't it?

The "God" other people know doesn't mean anything to me.

Not particularly God, god or gods in my world, but I accept he, she, they, it, exists in other worlds. I also accept there can be a bit more. Maybe destiny, maybe karma. Maybe irony. If that comes from a higher place or not, I don't think I want to relate the two, myself.

[ She remembers speaking to Abigail once back in the fall. She hasn't seen or heard from her since. ]

I'm not too sure anymore... not since I arrived in this world.

[ Because it's Abigail she gets a rare video feed from Kate. There's a small smile on her face. ]

I wouldn't be a good Jewish person if I didn't, I suppose.

[ A beat. ]

Hey you.

I don't think any of those are real, but the belief is what's powerful. So you could say—in the least irritating way—that we carry god inside ourselves.

As much as most people do, I guess.

[ he's not strictly speaking something that's scientifically provable and while proof would be nice to have— sometimes there's just things you have to believe. though, truth be told barry can't actually remember the last time he went to church. ]

I mean you can't really prove or disprove his or their existence. [ a pause. ] The actual Satan proof here not— included for obvious reasons.

[ namely how does the devil get himself stuck someplace like this? that's— if anything sort of disproving the existence of him especially in the power department. ]
