...All right. If it's habit then I guess I can't get too mad. Just, you might find people who are more upset than me about having their memories read.

So for your sake you might either want to stop or not talk about it.

[He's an angel that Aleph doesn't want to smack in the face. This is a rare feat.]

What was your name?

[theworldisasteel]

[Different Heaven. Different and on the whole better God. Laurence is pretty mad about Shin Megami Tensei, by the way. NYBBAS!]

It is a useful talent, but not so much as you might think. And it is... rude, at least, to Resonate a human in this way.

You may call me Laurence. I am the Archangel of the Sword.

[alephbet]

Aleph. I'm called the Messiah where I'm from, but just Aleph will be fine, really.

Any relation to Uriel, Michael...? [Those are the archangels he knows who are most destruction-happy.]

[theworldisasteel]

An... interesting title. Appropriate, but interesting. Hail, Aleph.

Michael is a friend and a mentor. Uriel...

[He winces. He would never forget what happened to Uriel]

I fought under the direct command of Uriel. When he was placed on trial for... what he did, I was named his successor.

[alephbet]

[That doesn't sound good to Aleph. Even though he doesn't have any sympathy for the archangels of his world, the idea of other worlds having a kinder Heaven isn't unknown to him.

He doesn't really want to ask.]

--You'll probably need a successor for a while, too. None of us know how to get home.

Novalis is in the thread below if you're interested. :V

[theworldisasteel]

[Uriel being wrong troubles Laurence. A lot.]

David or Michael will probably take command while I am gone. Gods, I hope it's Michael - David's credo of "Strike Last" is a good oath in theory, but "never strike first" is a problem.

Of course, my Michael is probably a great deal kinder than the one you know. And I should be surprised if you knew a Novalis.

Tell me of your world. Tell me of its God and Angels, tell me of its Hell. I know that it wasn't my Lord who called himself that. My lord GIFTED your kind with free will; he would never wish to squash it.

[alephbet]

I know much more of the land of demons than the land of angels - I've been there, seen the demons that call it home like any other home, spoken to them. My closest friend is Lucifer, who stood beside me when victory seemed an impossible dream and helped make it a reality.

Angels, I don't know much except how to battle them and the insults they've flung at me.

[theworldisasteel]

God Damn you, Nybbas. And Damn ATLUS.

The Lucifer from my world is... rather unlike yours. I do not think that yours would be WELCOME in Heaven, mind. But David would like him a great deal.

[alephbet]

Frankly, I don't think mine would want to go to any Heaven, even one like yours. He's a stubborn kind of person, almost completely unreasonable.

[But Aleph's smiling when he says this.]

[theworldisasteel]

That's why David would like him. David is of Stone. He builds, he strengthens, he tests.

I am familiar with your Lucifer, it seems. Definitely nothing like mine.

[alephbet]

Can I ask what yours is like?

[theworldisasteel]

Understand that I am... biased. I have never known him as anything but an enemy.

[Laurence is actually smiling as he says this. It's genuine, too; his 'Welp, the holiest man in the world right now is an atheist and I'm okay with this' smile. Yes, this has happened more than once.]

He was once Helel. The Lightbringer, a Seraph, an Angel of Truth. It is said that he grew jealous of humanity, that for them to be elevated over angels was an insult to his pride; and this is why he rebelled. Fell. Became the first Balseraph, the first Liar.

Angelic opinion is - divided, as to the ways in which Humanity was favored; I think that God's first gift to them was free will, and his greatest gift was made manifest in a fellow you may have heard of, Joshua of Gallilee.

[This implies that Laurence does NOT think he has free will. It's meant to.]

...Michael once told me that Lucifer offered command of the entire rebellion to him. He's ashamed that he even considered it.

[alephbet]

I don't know that name, actually. The society I was made in wasn't very big on records of history, so I'm kind of clueless.

It's good knowing that a God believes in free will as strongly as the Lucifer I know does.

[theworldisasteel]

You may be more familiar with his title. The Christ, the annointed. The messiah.

...it is undisputed that this is one of the blessings God gave humanity, among the angels. What is disputed is whether angels share in it. This I do not believe.

[alephbet]

Maybe you'll find out when you're here. [There's no way to take orders from another world, is there?]
