Is this truly the focus of the City? ( There is a pained yelp in the background and then a nasty thud. ) Do you have no pride?!

Do not touch me! ( No yelp or thud resounds this time. Instead, the sound of pavement cracking under the force of a blade and great wings flapping follows that warning.

. . . ) Foolish humans. I am in no mood to dance.

( Truthfully, she has never been in the mood to dance. )

Can't you see there are greater matters to attend to?! Why are you so complacent? ( And sparkly. ) Like cattle to the slaughter.

I know there is more to you than this! ( The sound of fabric being ripped ends the feed.

Somewhere in the City, a glittery costume is falling from the heavens. )

Living elements? Like trees and water? [ fghjkl! DEATH?!!! ] So your twin is composed of skulls and the bubonic plague and stuff?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

That's one way to look at it. ( That over-simplifies it, but he has the right idea. )

[mortemscintilla]

Is your twin in the City too, Miss Organic Angel?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

I'm told he was, but he returned to Shikouten.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

...What's Shikouten...?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

Supreme Heaven.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

There are levels to Heaven?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

There are. Shikouten is divided into three parts: Atziluth, Briah and Yetzirah.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

Do they sort people in these parts according to Good, Not-so-good and Okay?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

( She smirks. ) Atziluth and Briah are reserved for Angels. Yetzirah is comprised of five levels.

I cannot say I know precisely where human souls are placed. ( Heaven is quite corrupt. )

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

...Do human souls go to Heaven at all?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

Some do. It all depends on the judgement they receive in Jahannam.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

What's Jahannam?

[ FULL OF QUESTIONS! ]

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

Hell.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

So they go to Hell before ever getting to Heaven?

[ That's not fair D: ]

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

Yes. There, judgement is passed and they either go to Heaven or become apart of the many lost souls in Hell.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

It doesn't sound like a very nice arrangement.

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

It is as god designed.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

Um... no offense, Miss Organic Angel.

But I've never been much of a believer.

[ Or a fan. ]

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

In my world, god, angels and even demons exist. Whether you believe that or not is nothing to me.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

No offense intended.

Maybe they exist in mine too. I just never gave it much thought.

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

Why would I be offended?

Most humans don't. You're not alone.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

Because ... you're an angel? And angels serve God?

[ Or so the story goes. ]

Anyway, it doesn't matter if I believe or not. The City's full of angels. [ bloopbloop ] Devils too.

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

I do not serve him any longer. ( She fell a long time ago. )

Yes, it is. I'm glad you're paying attention.

[mortemscintilla]

Really? So you're ... a retired angel?

[ Li, you moron. ]
