That's too bad. But I bet there's allergy medicine in the convenience store.

[ but maybe it makes him eepy... like even non-drowsy allergy medicine does to me... 😒 ]

Me either. There aren't real animals in the cloud, and I never really desired a simulation of one.

[gutterbound]

[we can't have an eepy kaworu]

The cloud? [Looks to her like ?] Is that a euphemism for some...simulation?

[hotfixer]

Oh.

Yes, the simulated world is... Well, functionally the cloud. [ there are some technicalities especially when the servers are offline but she's not getting into the weeds about it. ]

[gutterbound]

And you were program in it. Like Tron?

[ATTEMPTING CONCEPTUALIZATION]

[hotfixer]

[ you know what. she would know what tron is! ]

Exactly like Tron.

[gutterbound]

Well fuck me, something I can wrap my little head around. Or big head, as some would say.

[He smiles at her.]

How'd you make your jump from the cloud to...this? [Light gesture to her body.] Put yourself on a floppy disk?

[hotfixer]

[ THE MICROAGGRESSIONS CONTINUE, DO THEY. (no.) ]

God reached out and offered me the job. It would have been hard to do without a physical form, and... Well. They're God, so they made it happen.

[LSD;KJAL SENDS HIM TO A SENSITIVITY TRAINING WORKSHOP]

Well then, that's impressive. [Truly just learning to accept anything can happen in heaven. wow.] How are you finding the switch? Is it something you'll get to keep, or...?

[hotfixer]

It has been very interesting! I'm enjoying myself a lot.

But when this is over, I'll go back to the way things were.

[gutterbound]

That so? Not feeling the mortal coil, are you?

[He almost says something about missing her cute smile but remembers the gulf of their ages just in time. Boomers can learn...]

What's your big takeaway from the whole shebang?

[hotfixer]

[ proud of him. ]

Well, this is still Heaven. So I don't know if I would call it mortal.

... Takeaway?
