046- (Video) Gabriel II: The Reckoning

[painhumbles]

[GUESS WHO'S BACK, BARGE? EVERYONE'S FAVORITE ARCHANGEL. You missed him. Don't lie. :| He looks pretty relaxed and giddy for someone who just busted out of the angel afterlife... Nor does he seem to realize that most people would be PISSED AS HELL at him.]

Hellooo, Barge. Guess who's back in business?

Now don't anyone start sobbing with relief- you'

Oh. Were you gone.

[painhumbles]

C'mon, kiddo. It's not like I up and vanished without a trace, here.

[notarrowette]

No, you just left 'Dear John' letters and popped off in the middle of the night with no intention of coming back or actually caring enough to say goodbye.

[painhumbles]

[PAUSE TO PROCESS THAT... And he does look... Kinda sorry.]

Look, I had no idea when or if I could get back. Long story. Short version is, I did get back. See? Nothing to worry about.

MOMMA BEAR IS HERE

[willkissawookie]

You have some explaining to do. Long story is acceptable.

[painhumbles]

Like I'm the only person whose ever left this place. Most of 'em don't even bother warning. I was trying to spare the kid some false hope in case I didn't get back without leaving her wondering. Was I wrong?

[willkissawookie]

Not good enough. Sparing someone 'false hope' is as stupid a reason as I've ever heard.

[painhumbles]

I could've said I had to go drop a ring in the fires of Mt. Doom and Sauron would've been able to track my movements if I told anyone where I was going.

Personally, I think that'd be a much stupider excuse.

[willkissawookie]

[Oh Earth references.]

If it was your mission, then you should have told her that.

[DOT. DOT. DOT.]

Okay, princess. Next time? That's what I'll do. Consider my next letter to the Barge, "be right back, gone to Mordor."

[willkissawookie]

Wherever Mordor is, that would be just fine.

[willkissawookie]

I need to do more research.

[willkissawookie]

I'll just do more research.

[notarrowette]

Yeah, okay. Great. Welcome back.
