Yes.

It appears that all that faith bullshit was true.

If you believed you were going, you made it. If you didn't, you ended up in our Lady Liar's jail.

Which is a cellevator, by the way. They really enjoy their elevators here.

[frowns, thinking that over.]

I thought the Rift was closed. You managed to get back through it?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One of Azzy's was putting together a little expedition. Said there was a ritual to re-open the gate.

I invited myself as a plus one. Naturally.

[rollwillpowercheck]

So he noticed. And there's something up there he wanted.

[lets out a slow breath]

I mean, I'd assumed, but... who did he "trust" to organize the party?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. The angel.

...

You know that Azzy was looking for recruits among the idols. Seem like he's found at least two.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[his eyes widen a little]

I... wish I could say I was surprised about either part of that, but I'm not. Shit.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If it hadn't happened by now, I'd put that as a mark against Azzy's abilities. We've been allied with the Ringmaster for a while now.

It'd be foolish for him not to try something similar.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Well, yeah, but it's one thing to know it's a likely possibility and another to be told that it's already happened.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

... You're naive for not realizing that was a forgone conclusion.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[gives him a look... but it softens, and he shrugs.]

You know I can't be as paranoid as you. I just... can't. I can come up with possibilities and probabilities and what-ifs all day long, but I can't try to make things better if I commit to expecting the worst of those to come true. So I trust you do to that for me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well then I'll continue to be the bearer of bad news.

Yes, Azzy has operatives among the idols. And some of them made it to Heaven's spaceship. Among other people.

The rest of us pessimists had to deal with a fiasco of a jailbreak.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Heaven's spaceship.

Okay.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They found holy water there. And a purification chamber strong enough to cure a Hell infusion.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[his eyes widen]

What, really? That's-- that's great! ... assuming it hasn't already been disposed of thanks to this mess.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's not somewhere we can get to easily.
