6th Message - [audio]

[justamessenger]

I'm not really the right angel to be giving this message, but they always give the really good ones to the boys. And I am a messenger, if not the messenger. So here goes -



Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people!




Merry Christmas to those who want it, and have a seriously awesome day to the rest of you.

Well done.

[justamessenger]

Really? Do you think I pulled it off?

[mr_phale]

Absolutely. And a happy Christmas to you as well, of course.

[justamessenger]

Are you guys doing anything fun?

[othersdie]

All people, or just Christians?

[justamessenger]

The line was 'all people' as far as I can remember. Christianity wasn't a thing yet at that point.

[othersdie]

Jews, then.

I was always under the impression that atheists, at least, were excluded.

[fiveagainstradley]

Happy Christmas, Dulcie.

[justamessenger]

Happy Christmas. Do you two have plans for tonight?

[fiveagainstradley]

I don't think so. Luke doesn't really celebrate Christmas.

[unflagging]

How come the first thing out of every angel's mouth is "Fear not!"? I've pretty much decided they've got to be the scariest looking things ever. Which has got to make the whole messenger gig tough as nails.

Anyway, whatever. Hi--I don't even know you, but Merry Christmas to you too!

[justamessenger]

I think it's more the 'Hey, I just appeared out of no where and popped into your locked room! Don't freak out!'

Granted some of the other ones can get pretty tall. I'm more of the compact model. And hi! I'm Dulcie. Merry Christmas!

[unflagging]

A valid point, indeed. I acquiesce.

Hi, I'm Rory. It's good to meet you. Are you as sweet as your name sounds?

Oh wait--hang on, you said "some of the other ones." I'm about to make a bit of a mental leap. Am I going to hit the right answer when I make it? I'm just asking in case I embarrass myself when I miss the landing.

[Inside he's pleading...please be an angel because that would be hilarious.]

[aperfectthird]

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you as well.

[justamessenger]

Do you have any evening plans?

[aperfectthird]

I expect I'll spend it with my sister. What about you?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I don't celebrate the holiday, but I'll take the wishes for an "awesome day" just the same.

[justamessenger]

Excellent. I was hoping someone might take me up on those.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Are you actually an angel?

[harrydresden]

New joys or are these the ones that happened way back in the day. Because I could use some new joys.

[justamessenger]

New ones, then. There's always stuff to get joyful about.

[harrydresden]

I think I'll helpfully insert a bah humbug here.

[skintoskin]

Are you some kind of angel?

[justamessenger]

Some kind of one, yes.

So what does it make you? Half-angel? Here or at home?
