Mom would kill me for saying it, but sometimes freedom isn't all it's cracked up to be.

	What's got you down? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-18 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Too much of a good thing. Changed jobs and found myself without a boss. Would be nice, if I knew what I was doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bookofsouls 2011-04-18 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	What are you used to doing? Maybe you should change back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-18 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	Not an option. Used to be one of those things that goes bump in the night. I like being a good guy now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bookofsouls 2011-04-18 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Oo, spooky. Freelancing's not so bad, from what I hear. But I know what it feels like to need someone else to guide me. Maybe ask yourself what your ideal boss would like to see from you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-18 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm trying. Doing my best. Still, there's some things you need a boss for. Like paychecks, so to speak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bookofsouls 2011-04-18 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Do something that you can get paid to do on your own terms... so to speak. I'm Israel. What's your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 12:30 am UTC (link)
	That's a pretty name. Mine's Corinth. There's some things only certain people can do. Things I know I have to earn, but I need someone to earn it from. And I'm whining. Sorry, Israel. You caught me on a bad day. You seem like a really smart girl. What do you want to do when you're older? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bookofsouls 2011-04-19 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Hee! Older. I'm older than you, Corinth, of that I am certain. Israel's only a nickname. There's nobody here that can hold your hand and babystep you through it. So what is it that you do, Corinth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 01:00 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Forgive my presumption. I know. I was just expecting more opportunities to prove myself. Archangel Michael said the war is cold here, a foreign concept to me. I'm a Bright Lilim. I don't suppose you happen to be familiar with that term? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know what a Lilim is. I remember your mother very fondly. It's unfortunate what wound up happening, I liked her better than Eve.

Mikey's right. The war's more political here, them to theirs, us to ours, though I act as a mediator when I'm not doing my primary duties. I can walk between all the realms, as it is a part of my duty to ferry souls to their necessary destinations once they must leave this plane.

	I'm still fond of her, even though I'm on the other side, now. She likes where she is now, if that's any consolation. I don't think she'd have it any other way. It was a game of politics back home, too, even within the sides. Pardon me for asking, but are you the Archangel of Death? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bookofsouls 2011-04-19 01:42 am UTC (link)
	I am. And if you wish to find your place, Corinth, find peace within yourself, I may be able to help you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 01:52 am UTC (link)
	It's an honor to meet you, Sir. I'd only heard you spoken of in whispers. I very much wish that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Please, Israel or Azrael works just fine. I'm not big on pomp.

I may have a position for you. There are souls who refuse to come with me when their time on this plane has ended. They are spirits, clinging to what trappings of their humanity they can. They need to be led home. Can you do that for me, Corinth? I will give you access to Purgatory to do this, and it will be a way to unburden your heavy soul.

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 02:13 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I will do that. Thank you, Israel. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Whatever could you mean? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-18 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Just wishing for a little direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quetehagamujer 2011-04-18 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Difficulties being your own person? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-18 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	Something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who usually gives the choir their direction? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 12:19 am UTC (link)
	It doesn't really go by choir, at least not where I'm from. For celestials that start out angels, they're assigned to a superior when they're made. Those of us that started out downstairs, we end up with whoever decides to redeem us. Archangel Eli's mine, but he's not here; even if he was, he's not exactly the 'handing out jobs' type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quetehagamujer 2011-04-19 11:40 am UTC (link)
	I see. It sounds like it could be quite difficult without one's superior. I've never been in such a situation before. Do you know what would be good to do, and can do it by simply knowing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I try to do, but 'knowing' might be too strong a word. It's more like guessing and hoping I've it right. I'm not expecting a lot of hand-holding. I can work independently. I just need someone to give me a starting point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quetehagamujer 2011-04-19 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Charity fundraisers for Japan or Haiti, perhaps? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	oceanangel 2011-04-19 05:21 am UTC (link)
	But without the sorrow and confusion you feel now, how would you know when you feel joy and a sense of direction? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I've got the joy thing down. This isn't my first time to the rodeo. Just the first time I'm not playing the part of the bull. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanangel 2011-04-19 05:32 am UTC (link)
	I've always wondered if they invented circus peanuts at an actual circus. They're my favorite candy either way, but I always wonder that when I eat them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 05:38 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. I just always picture giant marshmallow elephants eating them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanangel 2011-04-19 05:45 am UTC (link)
	Cannibal elephants? Gasp! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Diabolical, I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanangel 2011-04-19 05:58 am UTC (link)
	Well, perhaps if I eat more of them, they'll be forced to find other sources of nourishment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 12:20 pm UTC (link)
	Sound reasoning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanangel 2011-04-19 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	As is yours, getting a job with my Sibling! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-04-19 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Well, thanks! Bit different than what I'm used to, but that's sort of the idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanangel 2011-04-20 02:37 am UTC (link)
	As a Fallen I'm not the best person to ask about redemption, but my Sibling will help more than most. (Reply to this) (Parent)
