Yeah, well. There's not. Either I can exist, or everyone else does. It's like that stupid trolley problem they were asking us early on--do you let me kill the Fentons and turn into a monster? Or do you pull the lever and make sure they're safe and I never exist at all?
Well, I'm not really the one governing, but-- [ this is the perfect time for a a memory! until 4:01 ]
[ lil context: ]
[ charlie is in heaven, trying to prove that her hotel works at redeeming sinners. she's defending angel dust, who fulfilled everything adam (the first man and the leader of the murder exorcist angels) said you should do to get into heaven (be selfless, don't steal, stick it to the man). and obviously, charlie is devastated to learn that vaggie has secretly been an angel exorcist this whole time. awkward. ]
[ the memory ends with adam forcibly ejecting vaggie and charlie from heaven, after bragging that he's coming to their hotel first :) ]
[ and wasn't that something special, seeing Charlie actually get angry? He wasn't sure he had it in her. his respect ticks up a notch. ]
And what makes you think it's any different here? Just because the angels we've met seem nice doesn't mean they are. [ politely does not mention charlie's girlfriend's betrayal. ] And we don't know a thing about what this so-called "god" is actually planning.
[ see, she does get angry, but none of you are enough to make her angry, skill issue ] Well, the reception to me -- and all of you, has been very different, for starters.
I'm willing to give them a chance. That being said.... [ her expression darkens ] if they are lying to you all, if this is some kind of trick to prey on the vulnerable--- well. That's not something I would stand for.

But we don't have to talk about it. It's up to you.

You said before that destroying everything and everyone didn't help, so... I think it's worth a shot?
no subject
...none of them ever even came back as ghosts. I checked.
no subject
If you had the chance to go back, would you have done things differently?
no subject
I didn't fight this hard to keep existing just to give up on it.
no subject
[ that makes a certain kind of sense ]
no subject
This is all that I am.
no subject
Okay, I get it now.
[ but she was more talking about the world he said he destroyed ]
I do want you to exist, Brimstone. Even though I wish there was a less violent way to ensure it.
no subject
Yeah, well. There's not. Either I can exist, or everyone else does. It's like that stupid trolley problem they were asking us early on--do you let me kill the Fentons and turn into a monster? Or do you pull the lever and make sure they're safe and I never exist at all?
Easy enough choice.

Well. You are in Heaven now. So you don't have to go back to that.

there's a few quiet moments after the memory where he's just trying to process what all he just saw
and then he starts laughing. it's not a pleasant one--it's harsh and mean. if you're waiting for him to stop, he doesn't. he just keeps going. ]
no subject
[ but. yeah. she will wait it out ]
no subject
[ another short bark of laughter ] Why were you even trying with them?!
no subject
At the time, I thought they weren't all like that. I thought some angels would listen.
[ emily did. ]
Aside from Emily, I was wrong.

[ here is that hint of anger again ]
no subject
[ and like, while he appreciates that she can, in fact, get angry, the only thing he's ever seen her do is just try to coach the conflict away ]
