That's the thing, yeah. I don't like how rigid the system is. That was what the whole point of this project was, and then things went sideways really fast thanks to this thing that snuck in from hell. But I didn't have enough power to figure it out soon enough and stop it.
[ hm... ]
I think it's... God and I talked about the project. I agreed it was a good idea and it was worth pursuing. And in agreeing, I apparently agreed to be the new God because if I could do this effectively I could find the answers I wanted from the Old God in the first place. I didn't know retirement was on the table, or that they'd be unreachable, or how much would be left unsaid. But I probably should have, because gods are never forthright.
[ and maybe I'm no better for keeping this a secret for so long. ]
I went over the basics with them and how it would all work, but... I don't know. I accepted with the idea if I did, I'd be doing it on a temporary basis for this project and that I would be able to find somebody I'm looking for. Apparently they'd been planning retirement for a little while and I didn't know. I guess they also thought the healing center angels would be available to answer questions, but... obviously their communication was down, so I was never told about them. And Heaven and Hell haven't interacted in centuries, just because they stick to their own domains, so nobody thought we would have to deal with that either.
So yeah. I guess I just didn't get a chance to ask for things I didn't think I would have to ask, including "hey, are you going to come back?"
I've tried reaching out to them multiple times since this started. I've got nothing. [ he really was just left on his own when this started. ]

... Did you ask god about what it all entails before accepting? Or did you just. Not get a chance.

... the Angels have been a huge help. Even if they aren't from here, their different skills have been helpful with figuring stuff out.
