[video] one and one is two

[bedsidemanners]

[Raphael has a pointer in hand and is currently jabbing it towards hand-drawn but accurate, labeled diagrams of male and female reproductive systems. First at one, then at the other, as if he's instructing a small child.]

Depending on who you ask, this is either the most natural thing in the world or a perversion of the highest order. Regardless, it has its inconveniences.

[Without half the amusement this might seem to warrant, he sets down the pointer and puts up a picture of a baby, covering up the diagrams.]

So I suggest using protection.

[A box of condoms and a pack of birth control pills zoom from off-camera into his hand. He holds them both up for inspection.]

[... And then with even less amusement, he puts up a picture of a red-eyed, one-winged angel on top of the first.]

Please.

[No amusement left at all, as he shakes his head slowly, pushing back a few strands of hair before putting up a picture of a demon. He looks at it for a second before turning to the camera again, edge of his mouth starting to tilt into as near a grin as he can manage--]

-- But once you've ensured that everything's safe, enjoy yourselves. Experiment. If you ever need any tips, don't hesitate to let me know.

(OOC: ... ahaha. He'll explain if asked, but in Angel Sanctuary, the product of an angel/angel union is an inbred i-child, which tends to have red eyes and one or no wings. The product of an angel/human union, allegedly, is an Evil.)

Only people with reputations to keep.

...and now I must wonder what in the world they all thought when you delayed during one of her consultations...

[bedsidemanners]

You know I only have female patients. Be more specific.

1/2

[shall_yield_us]

Oh... no.

[shall_yield_us]

You'll catch poverty here if there're only women in your care, you know.

[bedsidemanners]

Working here would be a waste of talent.

[shall_yield_us]

You have no talent.

[bedsidemanners]

Then how do you suppose I got my position?

[shall_yield_us]

The same way Michael achieved his, or did you perhaps fail to notice all you archangels were given rather a bit of rank?

[bedsidemanners]

I don't think it was entirely a matter of predestination.

[shall_yield_us]

Of course not, darling. I meant favouritism.

[bedsidemanners]

Michael certainly wasn't a recipient of that.

[shall_yield_us]

Especially once his brother proved... well, and they all had amends to make by him, hmmmm? Oh, no, he can't possibly have been slipped a favour or ten then.

[bedsidemanners]

If you think I was promoted on Michael's account, you're wrong.

[shall_yield_us]

No, no, I don't. But if you suppose the thought's never crossed an Atziluth mind... well.

[bedsidemanners]

That's an insulting thing to discover.

[but not entirely surprising]

[shall_yield_us]

...yes, and?

[bedsidemanners]

It's not a shock.

[shall_yield_us]

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Now that your reputation has been definitively tarnished, may I suggest minding what pictures you do and do not show the uneducated masses?

[bedsidemanners]

Why? They won't understand.

[shall_yield_us]

I understand.

[bedsidemanners]

Why should that stop me?

They're useless warnings anyway. I don't think anyone's in danger of it.

[shall_yield_us]

Neither would feather-plucking and wing-cutting, yet do you see me giving picture evidence, you fool? There are things El Above does not want to see and that shouldn't be left to His eye.

[bedsidemanners]

I was only illustrating a point. Besides, it's not as if God doesn't know it already.

[shall_yield_us]

He wants for no reminder.
