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.

[This conversation is a lot weirder now that she knows... angels.]

Noah.

The man's name was Noah.

Yes, that was it! Lucky fellow, getting chosen to live and all that.

The story of Noah's Ark.

... How is what like Purgatory? [Not.. that Anna knows what Purgatory is actually like, but whatever.]

This world, from the little I've read.

Noah.

He complained too much.

Purgatory is nothing like you think.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Oh, so he's real?

Then tell me. What is it like?

[gotbackupagain.livejournal.com]

I don't think this place is anything like Purgatory.

voice

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Stuck in a dull place with the only way out being a mysterious, higher being who determines when we're ready? Sounds enough like it to me.

There is no way out of Purgatory. Once you're there, you're there for eternity.

I hope the rain does not last so long that we will need a ship like Noah's, Lord Saxon.

[She's a little water-logged, but not quite looking like a drowned rat.]

How are you faring, aside from our current predicament? I trust you have been well?

voice

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Boooooriiiiing.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Well enough, considering the circumstances. And yourself?

[expunger]

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.

[capuletnomore]

I could wish for a more solid roof over our heads, but other than a little wet, I am well.

[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.

[waterbends]

A giant boat?

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Well, obviously.

[video]

[expunger]

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?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Yes. We could all get together on it, have a nice little party, and sing songs until the rain stops.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Good to hear! If the pattern keeps up, we'll just have to try not drowning for a week.

[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.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

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

[waterbends]

I really don't know if that's a good idea. [But she seems to be humoring him.] You're on high ground though, right?
