Does... does opening with "be not afraid" ever actually work?

[[OOC: Now I'm tempted to port over my stupid DC Comics based angel/vessel muses... XD this is a bad idea and I should not.]]

At times. What's your request of the Heavenly Host?

[[OOC: I have many terrible ideas. Hence this.]]

I, uh... wasn't aware that I was going to be... re-enacting the Scriptures today.

[Her mother would probably start wailing with rage over Cat drawing any kind of parallel between herself and the Blessed Virgin. But Cat can't help but recall that particular Bible story.]

Though... wouldn't God already know what I've been praying for?

[She's certainly spent enough time begging for a miracle, for some way around the tubal infertility she's been diagnosed with. She wanted her own children for a long time, and being told that she wouldn't be able to carry a baby to term... it was shattering.]

[[OOC: I for one embrace your terrible muse ideas and will have fun with it!]]

The Lord knows all things. Nothing is hidden from His sight. But I'm but a dutiful servant. I'd not grasp the entirety of His knowledge. I heard your prayer and I responded.

You seek a miracle. A cure. Do you not?

[[OOC: Thank you, I appreciate it.]]

[Cat nods.] Yes, I do want to be cured.

But... isn't it a punishment? I sold my body and I got VD, and... and if I can't have children now it's because I sinned in the past.

[That's her mother's interpretation of events, but it conveniently leaves out that Cat was homeless at age 16 and took up prostitution to survive. She's in her late twenties now, and married, and she still feels guilty about her past.]

God's a forgiving Lord. Like a Father he'll always love His children. It does not matter what they have done in the past. If they seek Forgiveness, He'll allow them back into His house. Only those whom are truly beyond Redemption, will be punished and sent to Hell.

Alas. Everything happens for a Reason. If you hadn't made your choices in the past, you would not be where you are now. It's all part of His plan.

Do not see your flaw as a punishment. But a trial you conquered.

That is... a lot kinder than what I was taught. [Cat frowns, at the thought of yet another thing that her parents lied to her about.] But... I think I like that better.

[He's on guard the moment it comes to him. This looks a bit like a Yoma to Kazuma, but he doesn't sense any toxic aura emitting off the winged creature. What the hell is it?]

Help with what?

[If this has any relation to knowing about his investigative work of tracking down a not-so-normal type of troublemaker, then he'd have every right to be suspicious of this being. The assignment was given to him discreetly and in private as usual, by the head of the Kannagi family; a group of fire magic users.]

There has been many men whom used the Scripture as a way to give them benefits. It has corrupted the Holy Words. Their ignorance has been passed down, and in the end caused much suffering. We weep for those whom have suffered.

To offer guidance. We're the Holy servants of the All-knowing God. There's much suffering in this world.

[The one Aura he gives off is one of light and holiness.]

[After another assessment with a subtle amount of his magic, he does indeed detect that this seems to be the opposite of a Yoma. Well, this is different.

Kazuma keeps his cool, and doesn't seem all that phased by this holy servant. His reply is calm, with a hint of distrust in the mix.]

I'm not sure what guidance you could offer. I'm kinda in the middle of a job right now.

[He doesn't feel like commenting on the fact that there's always suffering. It doesn't need to be said that there are some bastards in this world who will never change... Like my old man, he keeps to himself.]

( The prayer comes not from it, but the young boy who waits for sleep to come. Albtraum has been frequent in this house. There's so much fear in the young one's pleas. ) He has been praying for this five months straight, your Lord is determined to take him. ( The child's life, it seems, will be short. )

Then so it shall. The All-knowing has a Plan for every mortal. I can only offer compassion.

Death would never be as cruel. ( It gestures with a hand and a dip of its head. ) Please, then, offer your compassion. I'm here too often for someone so young.

The Lord is cruel but only when it's necessary.

What purpose could there possibly be for cruelty towards a child? Explain this to me, Angel. ( Is not the presents of creatures like itself cruel enough? )

I don't question the Lord. His wisdom is endless and His decions are final.

Of course. ( A moment. ) I suppose asking if you never tire of this is pointless. You are as you are, I am as I am.

I have but one purpose, to spread His Light to the people that struggle. There is joy in the Lord.
