[After some time, Gabriel decides to go ahead and announce his presence. Why in the hell not? Everyone else was doing it. He didn't know where he was. He didn't know who these people were. He didn't how he got here. He had just been stabbed through the chest by his brother. Screw it, he's retired.

So, the feed comes on to present a middle aged man who had the camera held out at arm's length, while he stood motionless with a smile and a thumbs up... It took him a second, but he eventually frowned and fumbled with the phone.]

It doesn't take selfies? Dude, that's lame.

[He adjusts the camera to show his happy face again.]

Hi, everyone! I have cash and a key to someone's apartment. Who wants to go get wasted and set something on fire?

[Thus is his mood.]

[Yes, leave. As in go somewhere else and leave all of your children to fight over daddy's stuff.

He pales a little, not expecting that response. Was she playing with him? Intentionally acting like that wasn't the case? That didn't seem right in this case, but it wasn't like he knew or anything.

But she was different. Maybe this was something else. Sort of.]

You're-

... I knew a different you. I mean, it was still you, but it wasn't really you as you are now you. It was another you that was probably connected to you or- or something, I don't- Am I making sense?

[Raphael would smack him for the way he was speaking to their... Mother? He should be on his knees and bowing. Maybe begging forgiveness or something. Trying to explain himself and his actions. Possibly grabbing her up and finding a way out of here before Michael and Lucifer go into their royal rumble. He's freaking out.]

[She chuckles a little at him tripping over himself verbally.]

There is possibility that I am The God of another world separate to your world. That's something that can happen here. I probably shouldn't have got as excited, but I have not been so long without seeing an angel. Or sensing one. Metatron was as efficient about the disastrous Skeeball trip as I could have hoped.

[oh look, now she has a chance to talk to an angel, she's rambling. Awesome.]

Skeeball?

[No. No. Priorities.

Another God? Well then this isn't God. Right? God oversaw everything. But this was so close. It wasn't wrong. Just different. That meant something, right?]

So... You are-... You're God, but not.

[He can't bring himself to look Her in the face as he thinks. That doesn't make sense. But this is God. She is God. Perhaps this had to do with why He left. Maybe it was something bigger than they thought? There was no way to know now.]

Okay... Okay. Okay okay. Okay, you're here. You're real. That's... good...

[And he still can't look at Her. He had a lot of explaining to do and he really really didn't want to... Oh, this sucked.]

I... can't believe you're here.

Have you not played? It's so simple, and simply delighting.

[You may have priorities, but she's in no hurry. Plus, you know, Skeeball.]

I think it's kind of similar to having a twin aunt. Or something. I am The God, creator of earth, angels, humans, and everything else. But I am not your...

[She trails off, her own thoughts distracting her. Because waitasec]

What happened to you and yours? You said something about leaving. And you've been really strange.

[It's curious... and concerned. Honestly, honestly concerned. You may not be 'hers', but she's not going to let a minor technicality change her feelings... after all it's literally the tiniest of changes that makes that so.]

[Yes. Yes, he's played Skeeball. This is not about Skeeball. His mind is already in a billion places and he doesn't know what to do first and he hasn't panicked this much since he argued with Michael and Raphael before abandoning and She's talking about Skeeball.

Her question brings him back to the problem at hand.]

What happened?... What happened?

[His internal panic is now becoming external. What a question! What happened!?... He's trying so hard to not scream.]

You left. Ditched us. Ditched all of us. I don't know why. I don't pretend to know why, but you left us to fend for ourselves and, in case you haven't noticed, we're not all that smart.

Michael took over Heaven in your place and that's fine. It's okay. He's a good leader. He's fine with it all, but then those stupid little Winchester brats were gonna pop up and Lucifer's little minions started scrambling around and, before I know it, Mike's helping the demons to raise Luci again so they can freaking kill each other in the Apocalypse and Raphael was just sitting behind Michael with his stupid little pompoms and I freaked out!

[So much for that not screaming thing, but he can't help it. He's already in trouble so it's not like it mattered a whole lot.]

I ran away. Before the Winchesters and Lucifer rising and all of that nonsense, I just left. I couldn't stop them from fighting. I couldn't stop them from following your plans, so I ran away. I went to Earth. I changed my name. I met this really hot goddess and I tried so much to forget about it and it just kept coming back over and over and I ended up helping the humans to stop the fighting and I think Michael and Lucifer are going to be locked in Hell and I'm dead and Kali left me and now you're just suddenly here now!

... What the hell am I supposed to do with that? Not to mention that I betrayed everything you did, so please don't tell me that you've just come back to punish me for being an insubordinate, selfish, jackass that abandoned his family when they were all throwing knives at each other anyway!

[Finally done, he takes a deep breath and waits for a reaction. Probably something angry and wrathful that he more than deserves, but it just cannot be Her only purpose for being here.]

[But Gaaaaaabe. Skeeball.

The concerned face does indeed turn angry slowly as she listens.... but her words might give you pause in thinking that she's all ready to smite you.]

He did what? [....It's really strange talking about a being the same of herself in the third person. but it doesn't stop her. and oh look, she's gathering her own little patch of thunderclouds. Oh yes, this new has pissed her off. With a capital PISS. She's skipped right over understanding and back to old testament kind of angry. whups.] It's bad enough to walk out, but to leave a plan for them to kill each other? And start the Apocalypse?!

[She appears to gather herself together somewhat after that mini-rant, but... apparently her patience is far from endless as it's now raining above them for now. You should probably be glad of that being mostly cut off thing right now.] Okay. You. Don't worry. I don't abide disloyalty.... however. If these things are as you say [And the fact they have a nice black stormcloud above them should say that yes, she does] then this is a different case entirely. I knew nothing of happenings from your world, but if I had... [A wry smirk twists her face.] Well, let's just say punching him is the first urge I would act upon. Or attempting to shake some sense into him. Either. [...Now you have to hope he doesn't appear for the fear of an old testament style smackdown. Or, you know, get in popcorn in the hopes of it. Either or.]

[He watched the clouds come in and the rain pour down. It was the reaction he more or less expected, but not directed to his Father. He wanted to defend Him. He should defend Him. That's his Father and he loves Him, but...

He watched the rain before looking down to Her.]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I left. I'm sorry I couldn't talk to them. I'm sorry I couldn't find You or Him or... whoever.

I think I fixed it, but- [But which part was he really sorry about? Sorry that he tried to fix it or sorry that he didn't get to see it through?] But I'm sorry if I didn't.

It sounds like you did what you could have done. The circumstances were... [She can't find the right words, so she shakes her head.] You should not have been left in that kind of position. Any of you.

[Then... is he forgiven for abandoning? Right now, he'll take what he can get, so Gabriel blinks at Her and looks down nearly in disbelief. This isn't his Father, but it's so close that it really might as well be... Was that wrong to think?]

Thank you.

[Either way, he is grateful.]

[It's not really her place to forgive on behalf of the other, but that's not her intention at all. Just letting him know she doesn't blame him. It's all semantics, however, and it seems to mean too much to him that she would explain it in any great length now. It's probably so, so wrong but right here and now, she doesn't really care.]

It's okay.

[She gives him a little bit of a smile.]

If you need me here, I shall do my best to answer. Also, I can usually be found in Fayren. It has unicorns. [C'mon Gabe, unicorns are awesome. And narrow down the sub-cities to one.]

[He smiles back to the one he received. No, it probably wasn't the same, but dammit it was good enough. At least this version of God hadn't abandoned him ~~yet~~.

And then his face falls again because-]

Like actual unicorns...?

I gotta check that out.

As real as things here get.

[She starts walking, tugging him by the sleeve.] This way. [Because obviously you meant right now.]

[Like he has anything else to do that trumps looking at unicorns with God. Gabriel puts on a big smile and happily follows. It's been a long time since he's seen Him and things like this weren't really common.

He was really going to like it here.]
