[ he raises an eyebrow. don't call him stubborn? (he is so stubborn.) ]
You were all sort of collected randomly, but you did have to get to heaven somehow. Maybe you have a point. [ anyway he also gives her a blank stare because no? if there's a problem, he will fix it. he was, quite literally, born for solving problems other people can't, and sometimes finding that out in your young adult life really fucks up your psyche to the point you just decide there's no other purpose but to fix everything and spite the people who said you couldn't.
but he does not say that. he is ignoring it and moving on. ]
I have time. [ okay, maybe there is a little answer to that. ] If you walked away unscathed I'd say that you probably got through to him a little bit. My experience has been if he doesn't want to hear it or doesn't agree he freaks out.
[ she's teasing and can't read bracket text, but buddy.... caspian, please help yourself. i'm begging.
she nods. ]
You do have time. He did freak out, but he didn't try to attack me. That's a step up, I think. He might not ever be able to let go of his anger, but... at least he can redirect it a little.
[ he has half a mind to say it's women's intuition but again, he thinks better of it. ]
Thank you for pointing it out then. [ ...that is a step up, he thinks, but the question now is if it's enough. ] Redirecting's better. I can't imagine God would be fine turning him loose on the world again if he can't keep his temper in check and would go around blasting people because he can. But management is still something.
And even then there are some cases only he can help himself. I don't want you and Charlie spending more time on that when you could use the time for yourselves and your paths, too.
[ but he shrugs. ]
I actually don't know myself. I think that's probably going to be up to God on a case by case basis.
Enough of you are self-sabotaging as it is, we don't need more. It's a good question to ask though. You at least are asking instead of assuming how the rest of this is gonna go. I can appreciate that.
I happen to love myself as much as I love others. [ so he doesn't have to worry about that, at least. her instances of self-sacrifice are actually after long bouts of agonizing and trying to think of ways to not self-sacrifice hilariously enough. ] Even in heaven, I don't think anything should be taken for granted for how anything will go.
[ oh that's a new relief. do you know how many people in this graveyard are lacking self-confidence. it's depressing. ]
Good. Think you can teach the rest of them how to do the same? [ god. ] ... you're not wrong though. Heaven's supposed to be paradise, but we have a job for a reason, and it's because things can still happen. Thinking it's easy from here on out isn't going to help.
[ her full time heaven volunteer job: trying to inject people with self-love. ]
Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be simple before everything started happening, but there's nothing easy now although there are moments every now and then that we create to be nicer.
Maybe the answer is to keep creating nicer moments? It might calm people down to remember what the purpose is and pull them out of the misery of dying twice.

If he doesn't pass judgment, where will he be sent? I don't know if I remember hearing any concrete answer about that.

I'm not going to sabotage myself for anyone. If it's going to be so case by base, I suppose there's no point in worry about it now.
