Just as I told those lovely Animus folks--isn't there something in some human religion or another about a giant boat? An ark? Maybe we ought to get to building one of those, lest we be washed away for our "sins". This is enough like--what was it again, in the same religion? Oh yes. Purgatory. Never really was as good at human culture as he was.

Might as well enjoy it! It's been so long since I've been for a proper swim.

Noah.

He complained too much.

Purgatory is nothing like you think.

Oh, so he's real?

Then tell me. What is it like?

He was. He died several thousand years ago, in our time.

[She pauses, takes a thoughtful breath.] I have not been there but I bore witness to its creation. In my world it's the afterlife for non-human souls. A dreary, dark, flat place devoid of divine presence. Or anything interesting, I imagine.

Good thing that I'm not in your world, then. Otherwise, I could sue for discrimination.

[Her lips twist into almost a smirk, but not quite.]

I imagine He created other afterlives for distant planets. Creatures such as yourself are different than the monsters of Earth.

Well, obviously.

Not as obvious as you might think. Most of them have sentience on the level of humans.

[Not that you're on a human level. But she lets the insult lie.]

[Eyebrow raise.]

Aw, how cute, are you trying to be snarky with me?

[Bitch can't handle Raphael's eyebrow raise. Even if there's no good icon for it.]

I'm simply stating a fact. Your ego is not my problem.

Are all angels this dull? No, never mind, some of the others are far more entertaining.

The ones who are are rarities in Heaven, I assure you. We get paid by the hour to be boring.

Sounds like most of the Time Lords!

I'm sure your life was difficult.

You have no idea.
