[why'd you bring alcohol when he got the alcohol, nerd?

but guess he'll let him in anyway.]

Yo.

[Is there a thing such as too much alcohol? (Wait, yes. Yes there is) Also he had a BARiTONES over yesterday so some of this is free]

Tired of visitors yet? Or do people not even bother showing up anymore?

A few have stopped by.

[so like, more the latter but they've already gotten used to that, tbqh...

kind of gesturing him over to where his room's door is.]

There's a functional chair if you'd rather not a cinderblock bed to sit on.

And miss the complete Bad End experience. Never.

[He'll sit on the bed, thank you very much]

Man, you should have been here again before we got the couch replaced, then.

[smart move. the chair wobbles. on the angle.

but at least the Bad End experience comes with some coffee mugs to drink out of.

Joker's going to be sitting at the foot of the bed after shutting the door, either way. offering over a mug to use.]

[Guess he's pouring alcohol straight into the mug like the classy set-up this is]

You want to get me to get straight to the point?

[getting his own mug full. what is portioning.]

Guessing if you brought extra, there's a lot of shit.

So hit me with your best shot.

[WHAT IS PORTIONING?

Handing Joker two sheets of paper. An addendum to the second meeting and notes from the last meeting]

I'm sure word has gotten back to you about the rift that opened up in the middle of the night.

Prim on Heart Soldier Senshi was left in it for a time. That "angel" thing helped her get out or something like that.

[reading over the notes but also gdit why holes in his memory have to make some of this stuff new info.]

... should've asked you to bring the Asmodeus information since that's completely gone from my memory.

[continuous drinking of burning alcohol goes here.]

Check your texts to me. It should all be there.

But---

[Pulls out yet another sheet of paper. Look, he always has plot notes on hand to give out to the fresh blood]

There you go.

[... smacks forehead]

Right. Texts. Why didn't I think of that.

[anyway, gonna read over the Asmodeus things and ----mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

time to down the rest of his mugful.]

So the more I read over these things, the more I'm pretty sure this missing "God" is fucking with all of us.

One person who entered the Abyss from Heaven is fairly confident that God betrayed Heaven.

Another theory is the "Heaven" is just another fake stage by the rest of the production. So just another Hell set.

But yes. I am also bothered by the fact that no one knows where the fuck God is.

[waggles his phone which has the thread from the info dump opened on it.]

"God is dead" is what Asmodeus said. I definitely don't think that's the case, though. How would he know if his domain can't see shit into Heaven in the first damn place? And why would someone on the supposed Heaven side say that God betrayed Heaven?

... mindboggling how the Ultimate Creator is supposed to betray his own creations--seems to me more like someone got tired of their toys and left them for the next pet project, but probably I'm putting my own personal biases against authority figures into it.

It wasn't someone on the Heaven side. It was---

[Waves a hand. This is magic mumbo jumbo that he isn't good at]

As the person fell, they could feel the thoughts of the people who had died when Heaven fought Hell. And many of those feelings centered around a deep sense of betrayal.

... why the hell would anyone be surprised if God did something terrible on a whim?

[excuse.]

But I guess I'm just... since the start of finding out all this Heaven and Hell bullshit, I've always been saying it's God who's probably the one ultimately responsible, and I'm not seeing how that idea's wrong so far.

If we can figure who where the hell he ran off to... maybe...

... shittiest thing is if he's hiding in plain sight, but that might be the paranoia.

He probably is. Season 3 cliffhanger reveal.

But at the moment Heaven's seat seems to be vacant, so it might not be a bad power grab if C can pull it off. Also very cliche. Good ratings, I bet.

... C being God wouldn't be out of line, really.

[God is a joke, so why not a jester?]

So you already have plans to poke into the Heaven vacancy, then.

Fuck that. I'm still gunning for the Hell throne. Someone else can take that spot.

[makes a face]

If you're going to rule Hell, you really need to work on your vices or something. I can't believe I'm winning this Not Actually A Drinking Contest--oh wait, yes I can.

Do you have most of your important conversation while inebriated? That would explain a fucking lot.

Look. You have your ways of coping, Mr. Workaholic, and I have mine.

Anyway, I'm retaining the information you gave me fine--holes in memories aside.

Bitter about that?

Happy to know I got my permanent consequence for the Trial?

[... putting the papers down.]

I'm not bitter. I am upset. But there's not much I can do to repair the damage on that front. At least for other things people have lost here, I'm going to try to look into fixing them.

Extremely bitter, I see.

And why would I be happy about that again? I was trying to put you back together, Humpty Dumpty. Not see how many pieces I could make of your psyche.

[... i mean.

point.]

I dunno. Because of the Trial?

[shrugs a bit]

It wasn't a well-thought out thought, admittedly. If that's not the case, my last comment still stands.

[gonna fix all this shit.]
