1. What is the purpose of flies and mosquitoes? I mean, what on earth was God thinking making them little biting bastards? I'm not one to criticise the Allmighty, but honestly, mate...flies?Because without them spiders wouldn't make pretty webs would they, because they'd starve. Because flowers need pollinating. Because he saw a fly-shaped spot and

You get bored, Metatron? Do we work for the same God? I am seldom bored, but then I don't suppose you are being chased all over God's creation by the ever-annoying Gabriel. I'd rather spend a couple of eternities in Lucifer's company, to be frank, but my luck doesn't seem to be running that way.

What luck? The Lord God desires I cross swords with Gabriel. Thy will be done.

Let me know when there is an opening in your department.

I get bored. Inbetween frustrated to hell and back by having my hands tied while I'm forced to do nothing but watch people- and our kind- screw everything up over and over and I have to let them and let them find their own way back, helping only as much as I am able. I am not the fighting kind, but to sit and watch things is nigh on intolerable.

I find Gabriel easier to deal with than Lucy-dearest, if you must know. The Morningstar and I... do not get on very well. Gabriel... *sighs* I am doing what I can for.

What is it they say, we each have our cross to bear? I have my job, my problems, and you have yours. He in His infinite wisdom... *shrugs*

You need to take a break from time to time, Simon. Come to my garden and talk with me for a while. I think you need it.

And you could even come to the karaoke, you know.

Let me deal with Lucy for a while and you can deal with Gabriel. I'm rather tired of having my heart ripped out and being set afire. It gets very old after a while.

My cross to bear, it seems, is to remain in a perpetual state of war. I miss the old days, Metatron, when there was peace, regardless of how fragile, between Gabriel and his minions and the rest of God's own.

I'll be in your garden directly, Metatron. I need a break. Why, in His name, he thought me suitable for finding the most evil soul is beyond me.

I'd be happy to come to karaoke, as long as Gabriel and his damned trumpet will not be there.

Gladly. I still have my wings, he cannot hurt me, and perhaps I'm... far enough away from this to help...

I miss Eden. I miss seeing Lucifer sing with us. But we can't lose sight of what we fight for, and that we will win this. That He will win.

Whenever you want, as long as you dson't mind my other guests who come from time to time...

And I'm not the one to ask. Even if He deigned to answer me it would be nothing either of us would understand. He made His... least patient angel ambassador to mankind. Who knows what He's up to.

...I'm afraid he is. But I can ensure you never see one another if you like...
