I do apologise. I think I'e been remiss in my introductions. So many of us have arrived in Goodland recently, and I did want to introduce myself to everyone individually. But, it was terribly hard to keep up. So, instead Ithought I'd introduce myself here.

Hello. My name's Aziraphale. I'm an angel. ~~I do hope I don't get in trouble for this. The paperwork would be astounding~~ Since, a lot of people are being very open about who they are, I thought I would as well. To break the ice, so to speak.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Although, I can't really answer anything about God's plan. Since it's ineffable, and she really hasn't told me anything about it. I only ever really spoke with her the once. And, I'm quite happy to leave it at that.

	Hello, Aziraphale! It's nice, isn't it? Being able to be ourselves? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's certainly different. Especially after 6000 years of not being entirely honest with everyone around me. Not that I was exactly supposed to get attached to humans or anything. But, it's very hard not to. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi, I'm Maria. I'm just a boring human. And I knew God had to be a woman. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Hi Maria. There's absolutely nothing boring about being human. Humanity are the most ineresting thing about Earth. All of the genius little things that make life interesting came from humanity. Angels are boring. All they're interested in is fighting in the apocalypse.

Well, she's not exactly a woman either. She's God. Doesn't really have a gender in the same way that humans do.

	Hey, you called her ‘she’. And I can’t possibly imagine that angels could be boring. Not that I’m going to meet a lot of them, I see myself going more down than up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The singular they is annoying. English doesn't really have many good options. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can still hope. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you. She is probably the closest approximation, but gender is hard when you don't have a physical form. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My late partner was a robot from outer space. Similar situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was killed about a year ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Pronouns are difficult, and fluid. For example, I currently use he/him, but I could change later on. I'm not exactly male either. Depsite what I look like.

They're not big conversationalists, and you don't get any of the fun and fascinating things that you get on Earth in Heaven. Like sushi, or crepes or alcohol. It's all, fighting demons this, and when the apocalypse comes we're going to continue this war.

	So what do angels do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gaveitaway 2019-06-28 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	Most angels prepare to fight demons in the apocalypse. I'm a field agent. So, I encourage people to do good deeds, and occasionally cause miracles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Could have used your help when we had a big purple grape dude hell bent on wiping out half of life in the universe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gaveitaway 2019-06-28 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, well that does sound quite the predicament. Although, I'm not sure I can do a miracle quite that big. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We got it sorted out, but some angelic intervention would have been nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly, I'm not sure what I'd be able to do. It's not like I can kill people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably could have helped us keep him from getting what he needed. Oh well. It's over now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps. But, I'm glad you were able to resolve the issue anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I was, yeah. Were you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was indeed. It was all rather hectic, wasn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Incredibly hectic. And insane. It's still insane! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	On that we can both agree. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm Natasha, it's nice to meet you. And is it hard to talk to God? I guess intimidating is more what I mean because I think it would be. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Hello, Natasha. The pleasure is all mine.

I've only really had the one conversation with her. She wanted to know where my flaming sword was. It was probably mostly intimiating because I lied to her. I'd given it to Adam, which I probably wasn't supposed to have done.

It's also very hard, when the entire force of her will is focussed on you, it's incredibly bright.

	The flaming sword? From the Garden of Eden? I'm not a religious person but everybody knows that story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gaveitaway 2019-06-28 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, that one exactly. There were wild animals out there, and she was pregnant already. They needed something to keep them warm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	comespywithme 2019-06-29 01:32 am UTC (link)
	That makes sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gaveitaway 2019-06-30 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	I'm still not 100% sure I did the right thing, giving it to them. But, it didn't seem right letting them go out into the wilderness without protection. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I hear flaming swords are pretty good at breaking ice. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, shush. At least we know where it is now. Sort of. (Reply to this) (Parent)
