Mickey coughs theatrically. "'What is your name?'"

“I am the Sword of God. Fire is the vengeance where by the wrong shall be righted and the truth be told,” the man said. His voice was loud and ringing, filled with the confidence of a man who knew what he was saying was right. He didn’t move, but instead just gave Mickey a look with his one eye.

It wasn’t strange to him to see this being. He often saw them. This must be Satan attempting to talk to him through this creature, for God’s creatures were always more aesthetically pleasing.

"What is your quest?" asks the Cat. It's perched, suddenly, on the roof of one of the gate-stiles.

“My quest is to bring the word of God, and to right the wrongs set out upon the Earth.”

"'What is the average w..?'" Mickey frowns down at the notebook. "You know, I don't really see why that's important." He flips a page. "'If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be?'”

"Or," the Cat says, examining its tail with interest, "if you were a genie and someone you were trying to
give three wishes to was trying to trick you into giving him more, what would you say?"

“I would bring the wrath of God upon them, and have their trickery revealed!”

Mickey looks rather nonplused at the next, but reads, "'When the revolution comes, what skills will you be able to barter for food?'"

Abe said nothing, but stared the mouse down. “I have God’s Good Grace looking down upon me,” he said slowly, but powerfully. “I will need to barter nothing!”

The Cat rolls its eyes in a friendly (and rather disconcertingly out-of-sync) way, and asks, "Milk, dark, or white chocolate?"

Abe would have looked confused if God allowed such weak emotions to cross his face! “I know not what you are talking about,” he said.

"'Choose the two coolest: robots, pirates, fairies, bears, ninjas, monkeys, vampires, or humans,'" says Mickey, giggling a bit as he goes through the list. "'Explain.'"

“I shall not answer your foolish questions! God shall shed the light on your foul trickery! You shall not fool me, devil!”

"Great!" Mickey flips through the blank pages of the notebook at top, cartoon-y speed. "Well, I think that's just about it! Oh, and I'm supposed to ask, 'for your safety: are you carrying anything sharp?'"

Abe drew his saber. “I have this sword that God above has blessed, and I shall strike you down with it!”


((XD To be monorailed? I'm not sure if he's going to get especially violent in the app though, so if there's no good reason for Mickey to monorail him, I can just duck him or something right after. XD;

Oh, no. Aziraphale felt the same way about fundamentalists that Crowley felt about Satanists, actually, so his instinct was to just turn, walk away, and pretend he never saw anything. On the other hand, this man seemed to have crossed over into the valley of completely insane, and Aziraphale always felt a bit guilty when that sort of person hurt someone.

"Er, hello," he said, approaching with a very friendly smile. "What an interesting sword! Maybe you shouldn't hold it like that, though, could be dangerous."

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

Abe turned to Aziraphale, and eyed him critically. "Another one of Satan's minions, hm?" he asked, swiping the saber in Aziraphale's general direction but not hitting. "You think you can fool me by taking the form of a human now, do you?"

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale wasn't too worried about the sword-- he wasn't intending on letting it hit him-- but he did take a step back. Although it wouldn't be hard for him to keep getting the sword to miss, he still had to be careful. He and Crowley still didn't know what would happen if one of them was discorporated here.

He couldn't help smirking in appreciation of the irony, but he kept his cheerful disposition in tact. "Oh, no, you have it all wrong," he replied. "I'm like you, I'm a man of God." He didn't mention which God because he still didn't know. His doctrine seemed to fit the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, in which case he did serve the same God this man claimed to serve, but he wasn't going to risk an incorrect guess here.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"Are you now?" Abe said. He eyed Aziraphale for a moment longer, before he sheathed his sword. "Are you a true man of God, or one of those blasphemers who only claim to obey His word?"

[urielofearth.livejournal.com]

"...I doubt I could despise anything more than God, but you come pretty close."

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale could only sort of stand and gape uselessly at such a statement coming from one of the archangels. Yes, he'd have to tell Crowley, clearly these people did come from a different universe.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

Abe's blood boiled. "You would, you nigger. You, who was cast aside by God and given the devil's skin!"

((I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry.))

[urielofearth.livejournal.com]

For quite a while Uriel was silent, simply watching the man. Finally, he said with forced calmness, "I have seen God. I have seen Him die. And I'm sure the world would be a much better place if he had taken people like you with him."

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"God cannot die," Abe said. "He is the great creator. He was here before this world was created, and he shall be here long after it is destroyed."

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

Crowley knew he probably shouldn't go see this guy, but he liked watching train wrecks. He'd only intended to watch, really, but to hear Aziraphale called one of Satan's minions was funny, and by the time the man was done telling off both angels, the demon was laughing hysterically, entirely unable to speak.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

Though the man was dressed oddly, it really was no more odd than how the other two men were dressed, so Abe didn't comment on it. "You there, are you quite all right?" he asked.

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale shot Crowley a long-suffering look. It actually cheered him up a bit to see Crowley laughing at this; it was actually kind of funny when he wasn't worried about seeing this man try to hurt someone. It was the sort of thing that would be hysterical later after a couple of drinks.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

Trying to pull himself together, Crowley stood up, smothering a grin, and glanced at Aziraphale before turning back to the man. "Mmm? Yes, I'm all right now. I just... haven't met anyone so devoted in a long time. I'm afraid I was overcome by your righteousness."

The earthquake and rumble caused by Uriel's loss of temper caught Susan's attention where the shouting over the loudspeakers (which she'd learned by now to ignore) hadn't. Grabbing the first-aid kid she kept by the door, she hurried down to the entrance plaza...

... and found Crowley laughing hysterically, a tall dark fellow in leather in a really bad mood, Aziraphale trying to maintain calm, and someone several ants short of a picnic raving in the middle of it all.

Not so atypical a day, really.

She hung back and waited to see what would happen.

Aragorn had lived a hard life, and a long one, and he had seen much strangeness in the wild and dark places of Middle Earth. Naytheless,* this sight was indeed strange. Never before had he encountered a winged man-shaped being such as this one, and never before had he heard such strange and, he somehow felt, although he had difficulty following what was being said, hard things.

He had fallen into the old habits of his days as a ranger with the reassumption of his old name, and so although he had been at the gates since the word "sword" had caught his attention he had remained outside of the commotion, watching and waiting to see if his aid might be needed. When he saw the fair-haired woman arrive on the scene and assume a similar position of watchful readiness, he decided to make use of the other's presence in hope of better understanding what was going on.

He moved toward her slowly, never letting his eyes leave the chaos before him, and asked gently, in a voice tuned low to be unobtrusive and yet carry to her ears;

"You pardon lady, but do you understand aught of what is occurring here?"

*((Which seems to be my new favorite word.))

[sensiblesusan.livejournal.com]

Susan took in her interlocutor with a glance; the corner of her mouth lifted in a wry and not entirely humourless smile. "I believe the tall fellow takes exception to something the new arrival said," she replied. "Beyond that -- I have no idea." She sighed. "It's not the first time chaos has broken out when someone's arrived, but the earthquake was something new altogether. At least no one seems to be hurt."

[devils-handbook.livejournal.com]

"Strike us all down or just the mouse, fucking sword?" A religious nut. This is going to be lots of fun. "You got a real name or what?"

Hiruma is, of course, human. He looks more than a little demonic, though, and is grinning with sharp teeth at Abe, and has a shotgun slung over his back. This obviously promises to be "fun," all right.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"All those who do the bidding of Satan," Abe says. "And my name is not to be given to a servant of the devil like yourself!" The shotgun doesn't worry him. God will protect him.

[devils-handbook.livejournal.com]

Not that Hiruma usually shoots to kill, anyway. Or even to hit. "How do you know who's doing Satan's bidding or not? And that's fine. Never planned on using it anyway, fucking sword." He doesn't deny being a servent of the devil, mostly because it's fun.

After hearing something like "Sword of God" Setsuna definitely had to go. He stands in the back watching Uriel, Katou, Crowley and Aziraphale interact with this guy, though, frowning.

Eventually, he shouts out, "Sword of God. Please. What do you know about righting wrongs, or God? Ever met him yourself?"

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"God speaks to me," Abe said. "It is through me which his voice comes to this world. He tells me of the evils that are being committed, and what I must do to stop them."

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

"Oh really?" Setsuna challanges. "Does he tell you about people? And what do you normally do to stop these evils?"

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay took a while to arrive, having first making sure Chii and Mokona were safe from the earthquake. He arrived somewhat cautiously, though still smiling welcomingly and kindly.

"Hello, Sword of God-san," he said pleasantly. (Maybe names like that were normal in this man's world.) "Ano. Did. Was the earthquake earlier because of you?" He couldn't sense any magic from him, but then again, maybe magics from different worlds had different auras.

"Oh," he added, pointing to Mickey, "that isn't 'devil', that's Mouse-sama!" He smiled brightly. Teaching Chii was effecting his everyday speech. He found himself pointing things out to Kurogane and naming them.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"No," Abe answered. "The earthquake before was caused by Satan. 'Mouse-saamaah' is a spawn of the devil."

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

Kurogane does not hover. He does not. Never.

What he does do is stand just slightly off to one side, assessing the situation calmly and trying to figure out just how crazy this guy is, how actually dangerous he may be, and whether bodily dragging Fay off would help or just give him one hand less to fight (and therefore protect) with.

He doesn't say anything for now, and hopes Fay will get the hint and leave. He doubts it, though. Best not to provoke a madman, but provoking is what Fay does best.
