You could always pick up a side gig. Poisoning's a good one.

[holyspirits]

Maybe not the smartest thing to say to the person making your drinks, you know.

[sarkazm]

What are you gonna do? Kill me again?

[local woman unaware she's less resilient now,]

[holyspirits]

[ there's a soft laugh as an answer. ]

No fear, huh.

[sarkazm]

I've seen enough shit not to scare easy. Besides, I'd bet Heaven isn't big on things like murdering your patrons.

[holyspirits]

Just like it isn't big on murdering people in general, yeah. But I thought that much was obvious.

[sarkazm]

I'm getting the idea. This isn't the kind of place I ever expected to see, so I never really thought much about it?

[holyspirits]

That makes two of us. [ idly. ] At least you'll have eight weeks to think about it.

[sarkazm]

You too? So what were you expecting?

[holyspirits]

I don't know. The void, maybe? I never put a lot of thought into it. Figured it wasn't real to begin with.

[sarkazm]

And then-- surprise! Heaven!

[singular jazzhand, as she takes another drink.]

Did you have to deal with this redemption business too?

[holyspirits]

Your group's the first to do this whole song and dance. Surprising?

[sarkazm]

A little, yeah! Why do we have to put up with it?

[holyspirits]

You'd have to take that up with God. I don't know why they decided you, but I think they're pretty firm on their decision to go through with the whole thing.

[sarkazm]

Fine. How do I take it up with God?

[holyspirits]

Pray, supposedly. [ tired. like they think praying is stupid. ] But if the Angels are to be believed, anything you say to them gets picked up by God anyway. And they're always listened. Can't hide from the all-seeing eye or whatever.

[sarkazm]

Good, because I'm not gonna start praying now.

[at least the idea of god watching all the time makes sense, though.]

You ever talked to them?

[holyspirits]

Just at the beginning when they hired me. Probably figured I didn't need to talk to them any more than that when the Angels are here. And maybe I don't.
