[Well at least none of them got stuck in Heaven or the Abyss]

[Silver lining]

Lucky us, the door's closed already.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

When has something like that ever stopped you?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Point.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So try to restrain yourself if you do feel the urge.

[crossmyheartandhope]

No throwing myself into the abyss. Think I can remember that one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good. Want a copy of the notes to share with your unit?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, if you got em.

You want me to give you the rundown, too? Looks like a lot of people talked to this guy, so maybe it's all stuff that got covered, but...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hands this to Hurricane]

Tell me anything I missed.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Skimming through before he says anything. Pauses briefly to add:]

The domed room I saw was the room by the battlements. Pretty sure all that water was holy water.

[Then he keeps skimming, and gets real quiet. Real, real quiet.]

...Jesus.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks over where Hurricane is reading]

What in particular caused that reaction?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Multihell.

And that heaven's not in on graduation. That can't be good, right?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's good and it's bad.

It's good in the fact that it means that now we know for sure that the Heaven we were dealing until now is just a fraud and a sham. And now real Heaven has a chance to not be a bunch of fuck-ups.

It's bad in that Heaven's Blessing is a lie. And that people are potentially going back to a world that is still owned by Hell.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah.

...yeah.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Waits for a few seconds and---]

You said you had something to add?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh. Yeah, uh - he gave me the rules of heaven. And the name of another angel. And some stuff about how to get rid of like. Being all gross and hell-tainted?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What? How?!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounds like there's two ways.

...don't get too excited, though, dude. They're not exactly easy.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Nothing in this place is easy.

[But by all means. Continue]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Okay, so. Way number one.

You gotta stay in holy water for forty days and forty nights.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Okay.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Way number two, exorcism.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Now I know why they're numbered that way.

So what's the name of the angel friend they told you about?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Raphael, angel of healing.

Mehniel said he could do the exorcism himself, but it'd probly kill me, cause he's an angel of destruction? Like... bad odds, too. We're talking 98-2.

But he said Raphael'd probly have a better shot at it, cause of the healing expertise.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But Mehniel doesn't know where Raphael is now, I take it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nope. Couldn't tell me how to get ahold of Raphael, either.

But he did mention how to get ahold of him.
