Right. Personally appointed by God, and they probably weren't supposed to glow in the first place. For me... it might be a while. I'm in the background for a reason. And being as integrated to heaven as I am, your sight might not adjust until the end.
Neither, I guess. Or. [ no, they pause to think about this. ] No, resident is probably right. I've been here for a while, but I didn't have the whole "God reached out and asked me to do this job" thing the Angels have. I heard about it and asked them instead.
I believed in God's project and wanted to see it for myself, for one. And for another... I thought maybe I could help. Extra hands for the Angels and an extra set of ears for people who might not want to talk to them but feel like taking things out on somebody less involved. And I needed a job anyway.
Oh. Thanks. [ well now that's a little embarrassing, too. ] ... I think all of us can see the potential in all of you and are here for the extra push you might need to cross the finish line. Sometimes the hardest part about redemption is getting past the things in your own head. So talking to an outside party can help.
[ they have called themselves a poor man's therapist, and they will stick with that. ]
I usually rely on meditation to regulate my emotions, but I'm sure there are many here who need help with relieving their anxiety. Especially when there is so much to be anxious over...
[ thinks a moment. ah. ] Oh. You probably did not expect things to get so out of hand here, did you?
Yeah. Meditation's not a bad strategy though. I've, like, never tried it myself but I can see where it might be helpful.
[ anyway she hits the nail on the head and there's a little sigh. ]
We definitely, definitely did not expect this. Kind of the opposite, honestly. But I know the girls are working on it with God, so... [ they shrug. ] I'll just keep doing what I've been doing here.
[ there's a nod. no problem, happy to continue being in a murder hole. ]
A little. [ they have mentioned this before to someone else, but most people don't ask. ] Nothing extreme, but I mostly meant I've been in enough fights before that I don't plan on going down easy. My fists are plenty.

What is your role here? Are you an angel, or a resident, like some of us may aspire to be?

I can defend myself if something happens, but no. I'm not too worried about that as I am about things getting worse here before we get answers.

You say that you can fight? Do you have some kind of power here, then?

With just your fists? That's quite impressive.

You think? It's not like... I mean I should probably be better about not punching problems, and I'm trying to be, but it helps to have.
