Hm. Blood and frogs. I remember those. Very poignant, at the time.

[A significant pause. There might be an almost-audible clink of a spoon stirring tea.]

At least they weren't quite so petty then, though. On the one hand, yes, still the same basic concept, I imagine: plagues o'er the land to prove a sort of point, if you will, to a single man. On

[there is a long pause before he speaks]

The one. That shares the same space as you.

voice; I think they should be roomies. they can move in near derp headquarters.

[not_occult]

[This may or may not be his "oh, bugger" pause.]

Yes?

[easytochop]

Petty or not, it's caused quite a stir.

[not_occult]

Pettiness has a tendency to do that, more often than not.

[easytochop]

If it's backed by enough power, yes.

[not_occult]

Having a lot of power doesn't make one any less petty in this case, I'm afraid. Unfortunate but true.

Oh dear.

[meaculpable]

Aziraphale, If you believe Yahweh any better than I, may I remind you of Sodom and Gomorrah.

there is no hostility here ever.

[not_occult]

I am merely pointing out the, in my opinion, relative pettiness of two plagues let upon the City because of the disbelief of one man.

HE HATES QUOTING THE BIBLE, OKAY. WHY YO UMAKE HIM DO THIS.

[meaculpable]

"This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood."

By his own words, they deserve much more than what I have offered.

TO MAKE HIM IRRITABLE OBVIOUSLY there is something to be said for passive-aggressiveness.

[not_occult]

And do you intend to give it to them? I could have sworn you said you're not here to bring about the apocalypse.

[wishgazer]

It's a little hard to get around in after all.

[not_occult]

It does make such a mess.

[wishgazer]

And I guess it smells too. Was this what the people in the Christian Bible went through?

[not_occult]

Among other things.
