[darkholder]

Yes.

[thinking about that for a moment]

I think what's most important is making sure that the problems I mentioned aren't released again. I think I'd prefer to get rid of the power to make certain that's the case.

[holyspirits]

It'd be a surefire way to confirm they wouldn't be released again. [ they tilt their head then. ] What exactly were these problems?

[darkholder]

Ah... That's a fairly long story.

[pausing for a moment]

I had a few more questions instead, if that's alright.

[holyspirits]

Oh. [ right. they are the "authority" here, don't be nosy, zuriel. ] Sure, yeah. I'll try to answer what I can. What else?

[darkholder]

When can I speak to them? Your god, I mean.

[holyspirits]

That might be a while. They're pretty busy with the rest of heaven, too.

[darkholder]

Are they the sole one in charge?

[holyspirits]

Yes. The rest of us work with them or for them, but they have the final word of what happens here.

[darkholder]

And the gods everyone else is familiar with? How do they factor into this?

[holyspirits]

They don't. Think of it this way. Your own home where you're from is one pond of water. And this version of heaven is a separate pond. Our god is an axolotl, and the gods of your worlds are fish. They can't join each other's ponds in order to sway or influence what happens even if they're existing alongside each other.

[darkholder]

Then - why weren't we put in our own pond, so to speak? Why a god none of us recognize?

[holyspirits]

I imagine because a god none of you recognize would be a less biased judge of your character. If it was a particular god from your world, their benchmarks could be different from the god of another world, screwing somebody else over. Here, you all kind of start on the same level.

[darkholder]

And what does this god get out of this arrangement? I've heard it's a new system - why the change?

[holyspirits]

I don't think there's anything specific God is getting out of it. Judgement is part of their job either way. Maybe after so much time doing this they realized there was something else they could try. I would think that most people who arrive here would want to be in heaven, but after the last couple of days I'm thinking otherwise.

[darkholder]

And what about you? The three of you, I mean. How did you get involved with it?

[holyspirits]

Pretty straightforward, really. God asked for our help, we said yes. I'm sure we all have different reasons to say yes but it didn't make sense to leave you all to your own devices for eight weeks.

[darkholder]

And who are you all, in relation to this god?

[holyspirits]

I suppose you could say God is our boss? We weren't born as angels or anything, so we met them at a later time.

[darkholder]

After you passed away, you mean?

[holyspirits]

[ me like "where did my eli thread go" and i see what happened here. you may drop this and we can handwave as you like. ]

Yeah, more or less. It all happened around the same time.
