I guess it makes sense, Exael totally sounds like an angel name what with the -ael shit goin'...on...

2/4

[artificialinelegance]

[ wait

hold on. angels. she's an angel. there was all that angel/demon shit in the house. azzy is obviously a nickname. is it azazel? azrael? that's already a team, so probably not. asbel?

weird dreamscape, mysterious kidnapping from home, heavy symbolism, hard moral choices, all this performative bullshit, like half of those fucking ghosts, the temptation of a wish vs. going home, the permanent enfuckening of people who choose the wish -- ]

[artificialinelegance]

[ and then she looks back up at Exael -- ]

Aw, shit! This is some bullshit ass test of faith garbage, ain't it?!

[opening_act]

You're not supposed to figure it out before I give the hint.

[artificialinelegance]

God can take His stupid ass hints an' eat a dick, I know some fucked up ass biblical torture porn when I see it!

[opening_act]

Okay, then I won't give you it.

[artificialinelegance]

No give me it. I want to know things.

[opening_act]

But you already figured out the answer.

[artificialinelegance]

Exiiiii. I thought we was friends.

[opening_act]

That's moving a little fast, isn't it?

[artificialinelegance]

I'm a fast mover!

[opening_act]

And right after you had me undress, too.

[artificialinelegance]

Hey, hey, if you already undressed for me ain'tt we past the friend stage anyway? C'moooon.

[opening_act]

Remember your Job!

[artificialinelegance]

Okay yeah you might as well just have opened with 'this is a test of faith, btdubs'.

[opening_act]

I told you so.

[artificialinelegance]

Huh. Well.

Can y'tell me why the Lord's such a dick?

[opening_act]

Dunno!

[artificialinelegance]

Figures.

...What's Azzy's full name?

[opening_act]

You already have the clues to figure that one out.

[artificialinelegance]

[ well time to interrogate more people about the house ]

Cool. Not sure I got much else t'ask. You got any advice for me?

[opening_act]

Not really! Does run along straight home count?

[artificialinelegance]

What, I don't get to explore Tokyo-D? How lame.
