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.
Because I would rather do something than nothing at all. And... because I do like helping people. If I can't help myself, at least I can try to help others.

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. ]

[ but. yeah. she will wait it out ]

[ 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 ]

[ 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 ]
no subject
[ 50% power is still power ]
no subject
And when that's not enough?
no subject
[ that's all she can do in this situation ]

What do you do then?
And don't pretend like you'd still keep trying. That's a lie and we both know it.
no subject
I'm still trying, but not for my own sake.
