[ The feed, as it is wont to do, flickers on, showing a chipper boy of 13, blue eyes and messy brown hair and--is that a golden laurel wreath on his head? And is he wearing a tunic? And are those wings visible behind him? ]

Hey everyone! My name's Pit. I'm new here! Thought I'd just say hi to all my new neighbors. It's nice to meet you, whoever you are!

[Santa has seen a whole lot of shit in his time; but this is something he hasn't seen before. He makes a quick mental note to ask this kid about the wings later before answering the message]

You should be careful before you say it's nice to meet people whoever they are, man. People you don't know, and even people you do, can turn around and knife you in the back before you know it.

...The feeling is appreciated, though, thanks.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I know some people are backstabbers. I'm not as young as I look!

[getoutclaus]

Not "some people" - most people are backstabbers given the right incentive.

And don't gimmie that shit; age has nothing to do with naivety so I don't care even if you're still shitting in diapers or not, you should still be careful.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I can also take care of myself, thanks.

[getoutclaus]

Good thing, too, 'cuz nobody else is gonna.

[A beat]

Unless you've got friends from back home with you.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

...I don't know. I could always check!

Have you seen a real pretty lady with long green hair and a white dress? She only wears one sock.

[getoutclaus]

One sock, huh?

How many legs has she got?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Two.

[getoutclaus]

What's with the one sock then?

[He is actually interested because... why would she wear one sock if she had two legs?]

I mean... is she a dancer or something?

[Angel alerts are going off in Nessiah's head, and he does not like that at all. So for now, he'll stick to voice.]

I have to agree with the other responder - it's too soon to say such things.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Did I wake up in a city of pessimists?

[grancenturio]

You might have. It is a strange city.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

You're telling me. I still don't understand what's the deal with these "personas".

[grancenturio]

It seems to me to be a relatively straightforward summoning process...

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Wait, you've done this stuff before? Man, I am so new to this. I've never summoned anything in my life!

[grancenturio]

Then you are doubtless not much of a mage.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Um, duh? I'm not a mage. I'm an angel!

[It takes Aziraphale a minute to figure out this silly watch thing before he starts up a video reply, staring intently at Pit's...

Angel... wings...?]

... Pardon me asking, are you wearing a costume by any chance??

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Nope! These are 100% real angel wings!

[ Ignoring the Greco-Roman attire, yes. ]

[dancingonapin]

[He did mean the clothing too, but the angel wings are what's concerning him the most.]

... You're an angel, then??

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Yeah. Never met an angel before, have you?

[dancingonapin]

[... he's not sure whether or not he should laugh or cry at the sheer irony of that question. Aziraphale settles for pinching the bridge of his nose.]

Not exactly... It's only... you look rather young to be an angel, not to mention your attire is... out of the ordinary.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I look young to be an angel?

[ There was an age limit on angels now? He knows he is comparatively young to other angels, but, uh. Humans would think he's positively ancient! Or getting there, at least. ]

[dancingonapin]

Err, forgive me, I don't mean to be insensitive... [He's only seriously confused.] I'm only wondering why, exactly, you've chosen the body of a child... and clothing that's been outdated for almost two millennium?

[He himself used to wear clothing like that, of course....... six thousand years ago. And Crowley wanted to insist that his fashion sense was outdated.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ blink, blink, blink ]

That's just how I look. I'm 13 in angel years!
