This isn't something that I typically find myself asking or even thinking about, to be honest.
But I suppose I'm of age now, and "of age" is a somewhat irrelevant concept when the countries and laws we come from no longer exist, isn't it?

With that said:

In our current circumstance, where might one find an alcoholic drink?

[hellzone]

well when we get back there we should find out!
we'll take the cities by storm and revel in the darkness of night!

[fiendennor]

Is that something you enjoy doing?

[hellzone]

i've got curfew so usually it's reveling in the darkness of the evening.
but i do enjoy taking cities by storm. you gotta go out there and explore to see what's what!

[fiendennor]

If you usually have a curfew, how do you know you enjoy taking cities by storm and reveling in the darkness of the evening?

[hellzone]

it's an inherent trait of fallen angels to love the darkness.
we thrive in it!

[fiendennor]

Ah, I see.
Then you are a... "fallen angel"?

[can you hear the doubt dripping through the text]

[hellzone]

Indeed I am! I am Yohane, cast down from heaven because of my beauty!

[fiendennor]

Really?
That sounds like a fascinating story.
Would you mind elaborating?

When you say "heaven," I assume you mean the Abrahamic afterlife in particular?

[hellzone]

That was the only heaven in my world so yes.

[ wait a moment. ]

Does your world have a different heaven?

[fiendennor]

No, that's the one.
That is, leaving aside other faiths and their own particular conceptions of what happens after death.

You understand, of course, that your existence would cause something of a theological crisis on earth.

[hellzone]

I don't mind. All of my little demons seem to be adapting to this fairly well!

[fiendennor]

That wasn't entirely what I was referring to, but interesting.
Was heaven destroyed as well? Is there just one heaven for multiple universes? Does each universe have their own afterlife and their own creator deity?

[hellzone]

[ oh my god, she is in over her head ]

As far as I know, heaven's still around.
Or, at least, the heaven of my world was still around.
I don't know how it works here.

[fiendennor]

Is that so?
I thought you were a fallen angel. What makes you so sure heaven still exists if you've been exiled?

[She's just fucking with her now.]

[hellzone]

The other angels were the ones who cast me down in the first place.

[fiendennor]

Oh? But they still keep you updated on heaven's status?

[hellzone]

[ stop poking holes in her flimsy story! ]

Look, I'd know if heaven fell because I'm a fallen angel. Knowing things like that is part of the angel package.

[fiendennor]

That's very convenient, then. You must be relieved. I don't suppose you could convince the Almighty to interfere on our behalf?

[hellzone]

I make no promises but I shall try.

[ and fail! ]

[fiendennor]

Your magnanimity is remarkable, Your Grace. Is that the appropriate title? How does one address a fallen angel?

[hellzone]

You can just call me Yohane.

[fiendennor]

Oh, heavens no, I couldn't.
You're a celestial being, after all.
That would be so very disrespectful.

[hellzone]

Yohane insists!

[fiendennor]

And Diana insists even further. There is simply no way that I wouldn't show your esteemed grace the honor your deserve.

[hellzone]

Thank you?

[ she has no idea what to do here ]
