The Sexiest Angel in the Garrison is currently not available. I'm probably having sex with your crush
or having fun doing the things you always wanted to do but never had the balls to try. Leave a message.

Neither of them should be down here. They've been here enough already. Sam especially.

[Gabriel still feels guilty about them. Not much, but enough to make him shift unhappily]

[andtherewas]

It hasn't been easier for them. [Though they might be happier together in Hell, than one of them alone in Heaven.]

Not for any of you.

[ailes_dor]

It was what it was. The main thing is that Earth didn't get completely trashed.

[The good of the many outweighs the suffering of the few, right? Besides, although Dad might have been able to step in, He didn't. There's no point whining about it anymore]

We dealt with it Dad. Don't worry so much.

[andtherewas]

[Chuck reaches over and takes another candy to avoid mentioning that, now He's here, the Earth probably isn't in danger of being trashed ever again.

Because it's gone.]

It'll be good to see Michael then.

[ailes_dor]

[ How about you never, ever tell Gabriel that?

He won't believe you anyway, actually. They have science now. That probably proves that the world can continue without Dad. ]

Yeah. Although maybe ease him into the whole Friday Night Board Games thing.

[He reaches for the candy, grabbing a few. He'd normally be all over them, but he feels... well, uncomfortable. Like Dad's sudden reappearance is going to make everything about a hundred times harder for him. And sweets aren't helping with that.]

[andtherewas]

[You know Chuck invented science? And is being itself?

After a pause, He smiles.]

You're kidding? He'd demand to be banker every time, just to keep Lucifer from cheating.

[ailes_dor]

[ No Gabriel had no idea tell him more :P ]

Or something that rhymes with banker anyway. Why does he love rules so much? He should just go marry some rules.

[andtherewas]

Gabriel.

[Chuck is still smiling, but His tone suggests He won't tolerate that badmouthing.]

[ailes_dor]

[ Gabriel leans back in his chair, making a face ]

You didn't have to live with him after You left.

[But fine, he'll shut up. But he's still thinking it Dad]

[andtherewas]

You could stand to love rules a little more yourself.

[Just saying.]

[ailes_dor]

Which ones?

[andtherewas]

I'd start with any of them.

[He's mostly joking.]

[ailes_dor]

[ Gabe was clearly expecting a different answer. For a moment he just looks across at Dad, then shrugs ]

I don't eat pork.

[andtherewas]

That's something.

[He snorts, trying to keep a straight face over the laugh that's trying to get out.]

[ailes_dor]

And I don't do any work on any of the Sabbaths. That's dedication.

[andtherewas]

[Laughing.] I'm not sure that counts.

[ailes_dor]

[ Gabriel shrugs. You can't pick and choose which rules count and which ones don't Dad, it's not fair to move the goalposts. ]

I'm just saying I don't break all the rules.

[andtherewas]

Just the ones that suit you.

[ailes_dor]

Guilty as charged. That's why I got the eternal damnation runner up prize.

[andtherewas]

[And that brings Chuck right back to the present. The smile fades-]

I'm going to talk to whoever's in charge of judging souls here. They're doing a crap job of it.

[ailes_dor]

You're not trying to influence the system are you Dad? That's meddling.

[And hopefully not for Gabriel's sakes. He's... well. There are people far more deserving of a retrial than him.]

[andtherewas]

Why shouldn't I? I know about working in mysterious ways, and this isn't it.
