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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And how's that?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Says he talks through water. We give him a call through holy water, on holy ground, we'll get through to him.

Says any priest can make holy ground, long's it's someone ordained.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

On holy ground...

Well then. We need to find ourselves a priest.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Pretty much.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Do the angel give you a hard time because of your---

[Vaguely gestures toward Hurricane's heart]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Holds his hand out and kind of see-saws it back and forth a little.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I see. Wonderful.

Well - if their methods really work then we shouldn't have to worry about that for too much longer.

[crossmyheartandhope]

He wasn't, like. A dick about it?

He was just telling it how it is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That your refusal to participate in a murder game banishes you from Heaven? Like how that is.

[crossmyheartandhope]

That I don't got a soul, and I don't got any heart to speak of, and I'm all over demonic energy.

[And some other stuff he's editing out.]

...anyway, like you said. Long's those ways he told me work, we got it figured out anyway.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Only the demonic energy bit is true.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean. He could tell, though, right? It's gotta be true.

It was bad enough he couldn't even touch me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You have a soul, Hurricane! And a heart!

And fuck what anyone else says on the matter.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He's quiet for a long couple of seconds. Then:]

...thanks, dude.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Especially some stupid angel who fucking misplaced their own god.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Wait, God's MIA, too?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Mehniel didn't seem to know if he was dead, fallen, or went out to grab smokes and never came back.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Great.
