An angel without faith. That's a good one.

I've changed in the time I've been gone. I don't want to go home and have those who still remember me expect me to be just as I was and fill my old role--minus the running messages crap since it's not like Dad's talking to anyone--along with taking on Michael's job.

::In other words, he'd be like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole that he doesn't fit into anymore.::

So create it in your image. Father made you his survivor, you care about humanity. Show Heaven the depths of your understanding, Gabriel. Teach them.

[lotsoflaughs]

Given that I'm the prankster of the four of us, I don't think many of the others would appreciate it. Most of the teaching I've been doing for the last while was of the 'don't be a dick' type.

[humanentity]

Isn't any guidance better than none?

[lotsoflaughs]

Not always. Just look at human history for examples.

[humanentity]

And yet that it is in silence that even a terrible voice can be heard.

[lotsoflaughs]

I feel like we're going in circles.

[humanentity]

Not unless someone cut off one of my wings, and I didn't notice.

[lotsoflaughs]

Things are basically boiling down to you saying 'I want you to do the thing' while I'm saying 'I don't wanna'. And around and around we go.

[humanentity]

It really has very little to do with me.

[lotsoflaughs]

Uh-huh. So, when's the last time you ran *your* Heaven?

[humanentity]

Never. My version of Gabriel broke the Seventh Seal, and brought on the apocalypse. My experience of Godlessness is war, and my voice alone to rally Humanity to its own survival.
My brother's cry was a rallying one. He was influential, his voice powerful in the chaos and silence. But he did not love Humanity, as you claim to.

[lotsoflaughs]

I think I'm going to want to have some words with your brother.

::And probably some violence, depending on how things go.::

Sounds like he might get along with my Lucifer. Provided he didn't go poking any buttons he shouldn't. Anyway, if I didn't love humans, do you think I would have gotten myself stabbed by big bro while siding with them?

[humanentity]

[ His Gabriel would just get so incensed by the illusions, though. ]

What is your Lucifer like?

[lotsoflaughs]

::True. Throwing illusions and constructs at him should be entertaining as he tries to get things through his thick skull.::

When he's not having a tantrum over humans replacing him as Dad's favorite, you mean? He was the most beautiful of us. He also used to have a fairly decent sense of humor and was more patient than Michael. Possibly because after teaching two younger brothers crap, Michael was done.

He was also spoiled. Pretty much whatever he wanted, he got. And no one wanted to get in the way of his temper when he lost it. The only one who's temper even comes close is Michael's.

[humanentity]

Amazing. So fascinating, all these differences between our worlds, it's hard to imagine being the eldest.

Our tempers are likely similar, though.

[lotsoflaughs]

Just remember that while I'm the calmest of the four of us, I'm the creative one.

Anyway, it's hard for me to imagine Uriel as an archangel, so.

[humanentity]

I have a photograph here somewhere.

[lotsoflaughs]

She looked good. I think I'm the only one of the four of us who bothered to learn how to use a camera.

[humanentity]

She'll be missed.

You learned more than them, how do be human?

[lotsoflaughs]

Like I've said. I'm the one who's lived down here for ages. Anyway, little hard to blend in with humans if I don't know how to use the tech they come up with.

[humanentity]

Technology is interesting, but not my favorite thing about them. Their perseverance--that's what inspires me.

You have a photograph of yourself?

[lotsoflaughs]

I might have a picture or two laying around. Gimme a minute.

::A couple minutes later...::

Ta dah.

[humanentity]

You're not at all what I expected.

[lotsoflaughs]

Picture the look I was giving Dean in that picture being directed at you. What were you expecting? The ball of bright light with six pairs of wings and a few too many faces for the comfort of humans that they'd see for the very short time they have eyes and brains?
