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.

Please please, I don't have room for any more admirers.

[unflagging]

Okay, I'll cancel that order of lilies and white roses.

[justamessenger]

Good thing, too. That might go to my head after a while.

[unflagging]

Yeah, and aren't angels supposed to be humble? Or is that just saints and martyrs?

[justamessenger]

I don't think anyone could be humble all the time. That would be exhausting.

[unflagging]

Guess that answers my question.

[justamessenger]

You been here long?

[unflagging]

No--not quite a month. As you can almost certainly tell by my utter shock and surprise at casual encounters with divine or divinely-associated beings. Such as yourself.

What about you? You seem pretty well-adapted for a holy messenger stuck in a place like this. What's your secret?

[justamessenger]

Adaptability is part of the job. Besides, I first showed up here almost two years ago now. Gives a girl some time to settle in.

[unflagging]

I'll say. You've got a definite advantage over me.

[justamessenger]

I usually do.

[unflagging]

Ouch. If I weren't so taken by your...wings, I might just be hurt by that.

[justamessenger]

Don't you like anyone having an advantage over you?

[unflagging]

No, I like to be the one with the advantage. C'mon--doesn't everyone?

[justamessenger]

Sometimes. Depends on the situation.

[unflagging]

Oh yeah?

[justamessenger]

Yep. Different strokes for different folks and all that stuff.

[unflagging]

Oh, is that what you're getting at?

And here I thought angels were supposed to be pure.

[justamessenger]

That's a pretty relative term.

[unflagging]

You're just shattering all my religious understandings left and right here.

[That's a lie, actually.]

[justamessenger]

Sorry. I do that a lot.

[unflagging]

I guess I'll get used to it.

[justamessenger]

It's a given with me.
