Good plan, this

[walksamongyou]

He seems quite adept at making exactly the wrong people angry. I feel I should have a box of popcorn on hand for the retelling of his escapades.

Nobody likes captcha. Ultimate thread-killer, I've found.

[lotsoflaughs]

He's managed to piss off every archangel that isn't me, pretty much. And a good chunk of our other siblings. Well, actually, me too, but I'm willing to stick to smacking him upside the head several times. You know, instead of turning him into a bloody mist yet again.

True facts.

[walksamongyou]

As I recall, it's always been rather difficult to make you angry enough for anything besides a cruel prank or ten.
You know, it's behavior like theirs that makes people believe that Father is a wrathful asshole.

It took me three tries to spell 'used' right. Time for bed. 'Cause that's just sad.

[lotsoflaughs]

Dad apparently remembered to give me a sense of humor but not the others. Okay, Lucifer *used* to have one, but for obvious reasons, lost a good chunk of it and what's left is warped. Some of the younger ones have--or had, if dead now--senses of humor too. Balthazar comes most immediately to mind.

Yeah you do that, sleep well.

[walksamongyou]

Simon Peter as well, he had a sense of humor once. He was about the only disciple that did.

Re: Yeah you do that, sleep well.

[lotsoflaughs]

I'll have to take your word for it, given that I mostly kept my distance so you wouldn't break my cover of Not Me. Talking to your mother was pretty much the last thing I did before fucking off to Scandinavia to get away from my brothers' fighting.

[walksamongyou]

Mary was a dear woman. A shame you couldn't have stayed longer, but I understand.
I have spoken to Raziel, he doesn't seem to have calmed his proverbial tits since he fell, but he doesn't seem keen on fighting with anyone these days at least.

[lotsoflaughs]

I liked her. Granted, I only talked to her for about half an hour at most. Some of that was mostly helping her wrap her brain around what was going on and the whole 'archangel talking to her personally' thing. Not something most people expect to have ever happen in their lifetime. Particularly since while a lot of 'em *say* they believe in us, finding out for certain that we exist tends to make their brains have a bit of a 404 error before they get going again.
Anyway, yes. Good to know he's inclined to behave mostly so I don't have to go growl at him.

[walksamongyou]

It doesn't particularly help that back then, archangels were somewhat tactless with their appearances, hence why you all had to preface everything you said with "fear not".
That's the funny thing about belief, my friend. Someone can claim it all they wish, but when they are presented with real proof, it seems to throw them into an existential crisis.
Humans are very paradoxical beings.

[lotsoflaughs]

Doesn't help that if someone manages to get too much of an eyeful by accident, they tend to end up dead. I might have accidentally killed a few people that way before I knew what I was doing. At least they weren't anyone Dad sent me to talk to. That might have upset him just a tad. I think that was only a vaguely related tangent.

[walksamongyou]

That too.
I can't imagine he's all that happy with much of anything, honestly.
Including my choice to stay here on Earth rather than returning home when I had the chance.
That whole thing about people waiting for me to come back?
Not gonna happen, since I didn't even leave.

[lotsoflaughs]

Dad went on vacation about two thousand years ago and hasn't been seen since. He has no room to bitch at you. Okay, he's apparently been talking to Joshua, but everybody else gets zip.
How much you wanna bet that the people that claim they're waiting for you to come back wouldn't even believe that you're you? Along with getting reminded that oh yeah, you've got a temper, as seen by you being the original table flipper.

[walksamongyou]

Rude of him not to let us in on whatever the hell he's gotten up to.
I'm inclined to believe the 'God is Dead' thing and just say Joshua's lost a few too many marbles, honestly.

And excuse you, I've calmed in the last couple of centuries. Some.

[lotsoflaughs]

I think He decided that making a few thousand children that emotionally mature really slowly wasn't such a hot idea and decided to get away from the needy ones like Michael.
And how much would 'some' be?

[walksamongyou]

I suppose it goes to show how much foresight He really had when things were coming together.
I haven't thrown tantrums over figs since I was young if that counts for anything?

[lotsoflaughs]

Cursing that tree for not providing fruit in the wrong season was a bit excessive, yes.

[walksamongyou]

In my defense, I knew nothing about the seasons of fig trees. Bigger things to focus on.
You wouldn't believe how many different versions of the story there are nowadays. And all of them make me look like a damned pillock.

[lotsoflaughs]

Plants having seasons when they provide food is pretty basic info. And hey. At least some of them make you look good like the feeding thousands of people with what's normally enough food to feed two or three. Maybe four, if people aren't particularly hungry.

[walksamongyou]

But there are just so *many* plants to keep track of.
This is why I took up gardening, to avoid such things and actually educate myself. You should see my tomato plants.
That may have been a little bit exaggerated, actually. Transplanting bits of food from one area in reality to another while people were distracted was fairly easy, with the good PR the disciples provided.

[lotsoflaughs]

No one said you needed to know the ins and outs of every plant on the planet. Just the ones relevant to the Middle East, since that's where you were in the first place.
So, did a bunch of rich people that could afford the loss get to have some 'where the fuck did my dinner go?'

[walksamongyou]

In a couple of instances, yes.
Never let it be said that I never had a sense of humor myself.

[lotsoflaughs]

I've noticed that around 95% of rich people are jackasses that don't deserve their wealth since they fuck over everybody else to get it. So I approve. Of you, not them.

[walksamongyou]

My thoughts exactly.
