When you're a bit more sober, remind me to ask what exactly a Grisha is.

But yeah, that'd be roughly on the money. God made angels first, to help Her build the universe, that's what I was, had a hand in all of that business until one of the first angels started a bit of a rebellion and got a bunch of us kicked out. God took our grace and our names and our forms, so we made them anew.

[Not the grace, but the rest of it. He's never framed it exactly this way before, and it almost makes him proud of himself, for having managed it. And for having managed it without losing himself along the way, as so many other demons did.]

The trick will be reminding myself to remind you.

Then you're an esrtwhile angel? You had a hand in building the world?

[He's trying to wrap his liquor-soaked brain around this... Wow. Neat.]

All the Saints and their ugly mothers. For the record this tops meeting actual Saints.

'Fallen' is the preferred terminology for the rest of my lot, always thought that was a bit wanky, honestly. Most people would call me a demon.

It was mostly nebula, that sort of business. Big clouds of gas floating about in space, not too exciting.

[It's very exciting, actually.]

Glad to hear I'm more impressive than Saints

[reznikolai]

IDK, I'm rather fond of a bit of drama personally...

Some would call me a demon too. You're in excellent company.

Very exciting and very impressive!!!

[Hence all the exclamation points.]

[demonicmiracle]

You know, I'm not shocked to hear that

It isn't infernal, whatever's in you, but I suppose people call all sorts of things demons

Flatterer, and a drunk one at that

[reznikolai]

Often things that defy their limited understanding of the world. Ah, look at me turning philosopical as I get in my cups.

Can angels even get drunk?

[demonicmiracle]

Oh, you don't need to tell me. All I did was ask a few questions and look where I am now. God isn't much more open minded that humans.

With some effort! Takes a bit more than it would for you, and we can sober up instantly, if we want

[reznikolai]

I'm learning that the beings we think of as divine or holy aren't entirely different from the rest of us.

That does sound like a useful trick!

[demonicmiracle]

More likely to be cunts, in my experience, and I'll include myself in that. Something about power corrupting, probably.

One of many, I'm very clever 😉
